HOt air hit the mountans got pushed up to the cooler air up top and became clouds, thats what I'm guessing.

some lenticular clouds are artificial ones.

These ones look natural tho, kind of funny, one wonders why it only happens there and not everywhere else.

I've seen the mammatus clouds before, but not quite as dramatic.
