Cirrus fibratus homogenitus, which reflects a cloud that forms from a human source, such as contrails in this case, with the influence of strong upper level winds. This formation was spotted over Jedburgh, Scottish Borders, Scotland.

Alan, I’ve just come across an interesting video (2.45 minutes duration) taken from NASA’s Astronomy Picture Of the Day (APOD) website showing a very rare combination of Noctilucent clouds accompanied by Aurorae on the night of 4th & 5th August recent at Caithness, Scotland:-

Certainly worth watching! The text is informative too.

Excellent shot, Alan.
