Massive lenticular clouds form above in Valparaíso, Chile

On August 24, 2026, in Valparaíso, Chile, @JuanPabloLiveX shared a video of massive lenticular clouds blanketing the sky above the coastal city. In the video, the clouds appear as smooth, layered formations resembling enormous waves or a snow-capped mountain range suspended over the horizon. Their sharply defined, stationary shapes also give them a striking flying-saucer-like appearance. According to reports, strong winds and moist coastal air interacting with the region’s mountainous terrain created atmospheric waves that caused the unusual cloud formations.
