On February 5th, 2008 the International Space Station flew over the country of Mali – located in West Africa. One of the astronauts snapped this photo of a very large thunderstorm. Please note the huge anvil shape at the top of this thunderstorm, along with the overshooting tops where the best lift in this particular thunderstorm was occurring at the time the picture was taken.

    MALI HAS BEEN NUKED! Why is the media covering this up! How did GWB manage to get everyone to ignore this story! The Bilderberg Group has again managed to take the next step in world domination ! How did they get a nuke, blow it up and then cover it up? By infiltrating the media in Africa? OH THE HORROR. OH THE HUMANITY.

    Oh, wait… it’s just a cloud.

    Nevermind.

    Before reading the headline, I thought it was a photomicrograph of a new kind of fungus.

    “It looked like a piece of ice to me…”

    In Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, one does not say such words when referring to a southern belle.

    So gigantic alien spaceships are disguised as clouds.

    Those sneaky bastards!

    Seeing a thunderstorm come at one is for the most part a beautiful sight. But seeing such a monster from space, really puts things in perspective on the size and magnitude of what you don’t see coming at you. Gives me pause to think….

    Storm systems look like mushroom clouds. Utterly beautiful.
