The big rose-coloured cloud appeared over Bursa within the nation’s north west final Thursday, the Reuters news company reviews.
Meteorologists recognized the climate phenomenon as a lenticular, or lens, cloud.
They are often discovered at peak of 2000m to 5000m.
The colors of the cloud modified because it moved across the solar.
Social media commentators in contrast the unusual cloud with a UFO.
“I wanted that to be an alien ship so bad,” one wrote on Twitter.
According to Turkey’s Meteorological Directorate, lens clouds are often shaped when air blows throughout excessive buildings, reminiscent of mountains, and trigger water vapour to condense which roughly resembles the terrain beneath.
The photographs of the cloud had been taken at sundown and witnesses say it remained in its big kind for about one hour.
