Over the Central part of the island of Java (refers to the archipelago of Indonesia) was captured a rare atmospheric phenomenon — the so-called lenticular clouds. They were formed on the crater of an active volcano Sumbing. These clouds occur quite rarely, and in old folk tales around the world they are the sign that the mountain on which they came, sacred.

Lenticular cloud resembles the shape of a huge UFO. It is also called lenticular. These clouds are formed at ridge parts air waves or between the two air layers. It is noteworthy that lenticular cloud remains, even if a very strong wind blowing.

As a rule, lenticular cloud formed on the leeward side of the mountains, over the ridge or a single vertex. These clouds are found at an altitude of from 2,000 to 15,000 meters.
