Nice. These clouds are known as billow clouds, shear-gravity clouds, KHI clouds, or Kelvin-Helmholtz billows.

You are now, at 10 PM, next to a photo in the Weather gallery which could be this type of cloud just forming.
Great catch!

Haarp technology can cause these through electromagnetic manipulation... you should do a search on it (haarp clouds)... Great shot!
