Strange Sky Phenomenon Photographed over Diablo Grande, California

Driving home from L.A. sightseeing in Hollywood, on out trip home was quite uneventful...until we were somewhere in the Diablo Grande driving north on Interstate 5 (I-5) when I inadvertently mentioned how beautiful the sunset was, in response my wife gets my phone and takes a picture then notices after taking the photo that there was a strange anomaly.

So we look to the sky to confirm our findings and we witnessed the exact same shape for not more than 30 seconds when it dispersed, disappeared, disintegrated... 

Not sure what word to use there. Anyways maybe someone can explain or debunk our curiosity into what we witnessed on February 15, 2016! Mufon case 74507.

Rare colorful ‘cloudships’ appear above the Arctic Circle

This week, sky watchers are reporting an outbreak of rare colorful ‘cloudships’ in the skies above the Arctic Circle.

Strange looking clouds with straight edges and matching angled corners forming rectangles?

Aliens are hiding their spacecraft in colorful clouds these days?

According to Spaceweather, the clouds are polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs). Unlike normal grey-white clouds, which hug Earth's surface at altitudes of only 5 to 10 km, PSCs float through the stratosphere (25 km) and they are fantastically colorful.

Also known as "nacreous" or "mother of pearl" clouds, the icy structures form in the lower stratosphere when temperatures drop to around minus 85ºC. High-altitude sunlight shining through tiny ice particles ~10µm across produce the characteristic bright iridescent colors by diffraction and interference.
