    I'd guess cirrus produced by the jetstream over us now?

    Thought that initially but they were transparent and way too high to be cirrus.
    They appeared for about 5 mins only just as the sun was setting.

    I took lots of shots with the 300mm lens

    Another shot further north right before the sun dipped

    Great shots, they looks like the formation of Cirrocumulus nearer the upper tropopause as a result of convection currents been shifted by upper atmospheric currents
