Watchers struck by the cloud's odd shape and huge size, took pictures, like these four, at different times and from widely scattered location in the state.
Dr. James McDonald, a meteorologist at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Tucson, has been accumulating the pictures. Using them as the basis for trigonometric calculation, he has made a starling discovery that the cloud was at least 26 miles high and 30 miles across – “ a lot higher and bigger” he says "than a cloud should be".

He hopes anyone else with pictures will lend them to him, for he would like some more clues about the cloud 26 miles up - no water droplets exist at that height to make a cloud.
