Sky turns sharky over the Atlantic and it’s ‘wicked cool’
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy on Friday shared an image showing an enormous cloud in the shape of a shark’s head.
More specifically, some might agree, a great white shark’s head.
“Thank you to one of our followers, Sarah, that snapped this picture of a cloud shark! Wicked cool!” the AWSC wrote on Facebook.
Another follower suggested that the phenomenon portends danger: “That’s how sharknados happen…. Just sayin.”
If the massive cloud shark looked ominous it was accompanied by a rainbow, for whatever significance that might hold.

The sighting comes when white sharks are gathered off Cape Cod for the feeding season.
The cloud shark was reminiscent of another recent post showing a “flying whale” near Washington’s San Juan Islands. (See photo below.)

The cloud whale – obviously a sperm whale, one observer noted – was photographed by researcher Alisa Schulman-Janiger five years ago and shared in July as a Facebook memory.
Reads one of the comments: “Gifted to you by the sky spirits who appreciate your work for the great citizens of the seas.”
