Fox News host Tucker Carlson is a bit confused about this viral cloud formation photo - which has led to some questions and jokes on Twitter.
On Monday night’s episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host showed a photo of a “very strangely shaped object” that generated some buzz online.
The photo is of a red and pink swirly cloud formation that appeared in the skies near Bursa, Turkey last week.

The rare formation is known as a lenticular cloud and it went viral on social media because many thought it looked like a UFO, rose ... or female genitalia.
“What is that, exactly?” Carlson said on his show while showing the photo.
\u201cTucker: What is that exactly??! It\u2019s not normal no matter what they tell you!\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1674525737
Carlson laughed and added, “It’s not normal no matter what they tell you.”
Meteorologists confirmed that the cloud formation, while rare, was possible especially given its location near the base of a mountain range.
\u201cA pink, strange UFO-like cloud formed and hovered over Bursa, Turkey this week, leaving many puzzled. The country's meteorological service identified it as a lenticular cloud, which forms from wind fluctuations and indicates turbulence moving downward in the sky.\u201d— CBS News (@CBS News) 1674242118
On Twitter, some people joked that Carlson asking "what is that" was his inability to identify the shape and pattern of the object as genitalia.
\u201c@Acyn I\u2019m pretty sure he\u2019s never seen anything like it up close\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1674525737
\u201c@Acyn He seems excited. It reminds him of something he has not seen for a while.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1674525737
\u201c@Acyn Somehow I get the feeling, he hasn\u2019t seen one of those IRL for awhile now\u2026\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1674525737

\u201c@Acyn Just like the M&Ms rant. This dude has some weird sexual issues. Why is this a news story?\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1674525737
The Fox News host has recently garnered attention after the candy company M&M's announced they were switching from their spokescandy to a spokesperson- Maya Rudolph.
The change comes after Carlson criticised the company for making changes to the spokescandy over the last few months.
