Kentucky - 07-09-12

We were in the pool out the front of the house, taking note of a weird cloud formation that had appeared on the approaching storm front.

This cloud (which I have pictures of) looked like a rainbow mist that was balanced on the very edge of this tall cloud system.

We watched it glow and change color from blue hues, through to orange, purple until it dissipated into a green haze then vanished.

While I was looking at this cloud, I noted slightly higher than this cloud, it would have come from the very centre of it (to be precise) a cylindrical tube, length of about 30-100 feet, perfectly straight and curved at each end rather like an American football.

The middle of this object appeared a grey color. The nose and tail were glinting clearly in the sunlight.

I, of course, called out for the camera as everyone had noted the cloud, but I was looking further south away from this formation trying to locate where it went to.

Sadly through due to the excitement of the cloud we were filming and the 'wow factor of the colouration, I never spotted again.

It was traveling south from our home towards Lexington. This was at about 7:OO PM, just before we had the extreme thunderstorms about 30 minutes later.
