From what is visible in this mysterious photograph, it appears to be a unique Stratocumulus formation that produced a type of linear convergence across the sky over Upstate New York, US. Without a 360 view, it is not entirely clear as to what may have 'precipitated' it.

Hi Mike
A quick update from me about the Vulcan XH558.
More info about the aircraft is on this website:-
http://www.vulcantothesky.org
Best regards.
Laurence
Thanks Andy and thanks for the info Laurence was a great sight to see her arrive through those cumulus clouds
Hi Mike
Thanks so much for this photo! I am an avid aviation enthusiast – and have been since I was about 4 years old, now I am 62!
Aviation is one of my life bloods. I have always liked the Avro Vulcan – a truly awe inspiring and sensational aircraft. To me, it is akin to an aerial Giant Manta Ray fish which I adore.
Your photo is of the last Vulcan (XH558) flying anywhere in the world. It is scheduled to fly to the end of this year but, regrettably not, thereafter due to metal fatigue problems and other matters, including the huge finance needed to keep and maintain the highly complex aircraft in airworthy condition, and, not forgetting, locating really highly specialised engineering talent to look after and maintain it.
I like the cloud backdrop – most fitting to the Vulcan. A swan-song or epitaph perhaps…Up in her element where “she” belongs.
Thanks again for this shot. Much appreciated. It appeals to me greatly.
Laurence
Great shot. Love the Vulcan.
