"When I looked out of the car window I saw a round ball-shaped cloud," said Twitter user @pmxpvrtmx who photographed the phenomenon.

"I gazed at the cloud for a while then I rushed to take the photo. When I saw the cloud it was an even more spherical shape, so I regret not taking the photo more quickly."
