These photos I took in central Wisconsin in August 2008. I've seen other people with photos of similar ripples elsewhere in the world also. There were many witnesses, as every single person was stopping to look at the sky this evening. The ripples stretched the entire length and width of the sky and remained for about an hour or so. Now, I grew up in Montana, next to Malmstrom Air Force Base, and lived there the vast majority of my life. I have NEVER seen anything like this before. And I've seen every craft fly that our beloved government has had the imagination to create. There is no plane capable of making such waves in the clouds. There is also no aircraft capable of leaving a wake that spans the entire sky in this manner. Whatever the cause, this was a unique sight to behold. It left everyone with chills down our spines. Naturally the term "ufo" came from nearly everyone's lips on many occassions, though there was never a craft of any kind seen.

I'd also like to note that the ripples spanned both clouded areas and clear areas, so they were not an illusion created by an alteration in wind that began splitting up the clouds (as one suggestion has been). Additionally, the photos are accurately dated automatically by my camera, and anyone can research to find that there was absolutely no wind or even a notable breeze that day. Furthermore, I took many photos that span from one horizon to the other, running North to South. These posted were all taken facing a North or Northwestern direction, depending on the photo (for better light in the pictures). I have yet to hear a viable explanation for this, or even a theory that holds any weight. If you have one, please let me know. I'm dying to hear it.
