(7,801 posts)what I estimated later to be somewhere over Montana while heating to Seattle, I was loving the views out the window. It was very beautiful so I took three pictures with a digital camera. I took other pics including some great areal shots of Mt. Rainer.
When I got back to my computer I checked them out and the first two shots of the area in Montana were really cool.
But the third shot was super cool. In the same area where there was nothing but Montana under clear skies, there was what appeared to be a tornado from above. A small cloud in a vortex.
So I checked with a expert in unusual clouds and weather phenomena like Sprites and he said it definitely was NOT a cloud. Instead he thought maybe it was a reflection of a light in the jet's window from where I took the pics. So I thought, ok that it. But it was still a really cool pic so I made it my computer desktop pic.
About two weeks later, the computer crashed. I had everything backed up, but I could never find the three pics of Montana anywhere. Not even on the same memory card where I had the pics of Mt. Rainier.
Now, I wonder what that "vortex" really was.
