FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS

Gordon Tripp. The Weathermen: Their Story. The Book Guild Ltd, 2017.

The author's interest in the weather and in the meteorologists who advanced the study of it was first inspired by his mother's interest in the subject. When he joined the Royal Air Force as a navigator he became seriously interested as he realised that the weather was "literally a matter of life and death".

CLOUD ATLAS


Richard Hamblyn. Extraordinary Clouds: Skies of the Unexpected from the Beautiful to the Bizarre. David and Charles for the Met. Office, 2009

If you are of a certain age, like Magonia's editors, you might recall Aimé Michel and the great Cloud Cigars. Michel and others argued passionately that these could not have been natural cloud formations. In this beautifully illustrated little book however, there are several examples of very ufological looking clouds, most particularly, but not entirely limited to, the lenticular clouds.
