    Saw this on the way to work. It was almost pitch black, covering the sun. Smooth on the edges. Picture does it no justice and there is a few different pics floating around too

    That looks like a lens cloud to me, it's a form of alto-cumulus that is basically the same concept as skipping a stone on calm water. There would have been strong winds aloft moving slightly up and down against a boundary layer and creating these lens clouds. Probably the local mountains have some role in it, these clouds are fairly common downstream from high mountains.
