Incredible images of mysterious UFO-shaped cloud baffles residents of Swedish ski town

A MYSTERIOUS pink cloud which looks like a UFO and even appears to be spinning round baffled skiiers when it appeared in the skies over Sweden.

The unusual circular cloud floated over ski resorts Åre and Duved, with skiiers taking to Instagram to share pictures of the odd phenomenon.

Locals said the strange shapes – called lentincular clouds – are often mistaken for UFOs.

They form above mountain peaks when the air is forced to rise as it hits the hillside.

As the air cools, it condenses into a cloud.

“I thought it was pretty cool,” one of them, Elvira Kuper, told broadcaster SVT.
