to those who say I'm wrong that this only happens there and not in indiana in the u.s.a. look up "tidal wave cloud formation over clarksville indiana" . This is a great video though.

[bolive]

There is no question that these waves occur all over the world. Primarily, they are a marine phenomenon, and they are often seen over the ocean. They are also associated with thunderstorm outflows. So it is no surprise that you may have seen one yourself.

What can be said though, is that Burketown in Australia is the one place in the world where you can see large waves predictably. Each September/October glider pilots gather there to try and soar them.

[jherold68]

what i wouldnt give to have the nerve to do that!

[cavebear427]

Breath-taking! What a BEAUTIFUL planet we live on! Thanks for a fab video and the music just seems to belong! Can't get it out of my head!

[bresophil]

This is so beautiful. I love the Gulf Savannah. Will never forget the emptiness there...

[hynesle]

there was moring glory where i live 2 days ago

[yakacm]

A great vid, would've better without the music though, if you have the actual sound from the time that would be cool, it's a pity you tube doesn't have a feature to choose which sound track you want, you tube 2.0 maybe. It' Australia BTW these type of clouds only happen @ this one place in Oz.

[RisenDevilz]

shelf clouds of that nature happen in the states too dude. sorry

[yakacm]

I don't remember making the comment, but I think I meant that particular cloud formation called Morning Glory IE the one in the video was in Oz. I don't doubt your are right thou Risen, the US is an amazing country with such a varied geography, it's bound to have something the same.

[superjezz]

at one place in oz.... no mention of them in USA, one place in OZ. One place IN OZTRALIA, sorry.......

[Spacedock2012]

Thats willie nelson singing and where is this ridge where the clouds do this ? Anybody know

[waltisher]

Thats an Australian singer "John Williamson".

The rock he sings of is Ayers Rock or as they call it now Uluru .

[everlivincrap]

they sound so much alike. thats crazy

[RisenDevilz]

john williamson ... not willie nelson... they do have a similar voice though

[mermaidwaves]

Thanks so much for this -I have been there and it rolled over the top of e totally the most aazing experience!

[pickinvidders]

Lift in the cloud? That cloud results from an atmospheric wave, no? Air rising due to wave lift and happening to reach sufficient elevation that the temperature is cold enough to precipitate water vapor in the air, hence the cloud? So, within the cloud there would be lift--the same wave lift that's causing the cloud in the first place. Anyone know what's causing the wave? Must be a long ridgeline behind somewhere. Where is this? Can look up the ridge on google Earth. Amazing phenomenon.

[BinaDog]

Fantastic!!! :-)

[LifeJourneyGuy]

Great video!!!! Thanks for posting! (Pete)

[urbancyclist1]

wonderful, great music

[MagicTimeVideos]

freaking awesome! Thanks!

[crashinaluscombe]

Great music! Great flight! Next time, have the pilot actually whistling or singing along with the actual wind sounds of the flight. Just a suggestion. This video exemplifies the peace that an angel might feel soaring about above us.

[C011Y]

love this video....gota go and learn to fly!!

[saltoricco]

> Would you get lost if you went into the cloud?

There was a case of a hang glider who went into the cloud, went through it and landed. There isn't any lift in the cloud so a hang glider circling down will eventually pop out without harm.

> Or would there not be enough wind to keep you up?

The main lift is just in front of the cloud. If you leave that area you'll have to land.

> Or would it just be cold and wet.

Only visibility is a problem.

> Any lightening?

None, AFAIK.

[FrogGodbee]

'ErnBieman' its john williams who is singing it and iam pretty sure he wrote it

[bravoecho718]

AWESOME !!!! THE DREAM CLOUD !!! wish it could exist somewhere else in the world, and I could fly it with a glider ....

[olive4naito]

Would you get lost if you went into the cloud? Or would there not be enough wind to keep you up? Or would it just be cold and wet. Any lightening?

[RhinoPD]

[caratellone]

[duenner]

[bolive]

Raining on the Rock

[ErnBieman]

Gorgeous! Does anyone know the artist who records this version? I'd love to buy a copy.

[bluethermal]

this isnt a hang glider you wombat

[Sres1]

3min 30sec of the video shows the glider being towed by the microlight.

[dlhusk]
