Hot Pink UFO!

I just noticed a new book out in our university book store, a photo essay on clouds. The cover shot:

http://www.amazon.com/Pink-Flying-Sa.../dp/0399534113

is a rather lovely UFO-shaped "lenticular" cloud that could easily have been mistaken for a "saucer" at some distance.

OK now that's awesome! (but I take pics of clouds, especially during sunsets, so I'm really biased) Oh and I think it looks like a red blood cell!

I always thought the aliens were sexually biased in regards to the colors they choose for their aircrafts. Always silver, grey or black. I am glad they are diversified

Hot pink may be groovy and fashionable for us earthicans, but maybe it is a sober and professional colour for the aliens?
