The strange formations resembled jellyfish, UFOs and birds in flight.

Eve said she had never seen clouds like these before.

“A lot of people had noticed them,” said Eve.

“I walked over to the cricket ground to get a clearer view, and took pictures of the clouds that looked like jellyfish/parasols/birds in flight, and, as the larger ones moved away, they created a background looking like ranges of hills with mist between. I do not recall seeing clouds of this sort of shape here before.”
