The Guardian explained that the cloud formation phenomenon was known as a lenticular cloud. It remained intact for almost an hour, after which it did disappear. While it was clear in the sky, many photos and videos reached the internet as people flocked over to witness the rare phenomenon. 

The images and clips quickly went viral as users started calling the cloud a UFO when Turkey’s state Meteorological Service explained that the images captured a "lenticular cloud." Lenticular clouds are known for their round, UFO-like appearance. Usually, these clouds can be formed at heights between 2,000 and 5,000 meters.
