These Stunning And Rare Clouds Have Been Appearing Across Ireland This Morning

Don't be alarmed if you spotted some strange looking clouds this morning...

Aliens ain't invading, they're just some beautiful nacreous clouds, which are usually found above high altitudes in polar regions. They form very high in the atmosphere, reflecting beautiful colours.
