  Took a few pictures last week of a very weird sky. Does anyone know what this strange phenomenon is all about?

  Claire, the NASA website has loads of photos of weird sky', and explains them in lay terms. Might be worth having a rummage to see if 'your' sky is there:

  I look at the URL page everyday and am regularly amazed at how fantastic our universe and planet are.

  Looks like aircraft contrails in reverse (negative). I think the squiggly look is an optical illusion. Perhaps due to temperature, instead of having white contrails in a blue sky, they show up darker blue in cloud.... Just a thought.
