It looks like something from the film Independence Day. But although it may seem like an alien mothership, this incredible picture is actually an impressive thunderstorm cloud known as a supercell.
-
The photograph is just one image from the portfolio of electrician Sean Heavey. The supercell cloud was photographed in July 2010 west of Glasgow, Montana, USA.
-
Mr Heavey, 34, an amateur photographer, created the jaw-dropping panoramic image by stitching together three photos from the 400 frames he took of the violent scene he witnessed in July 2010.

It caused minor damage, and lasted several hours before moving on. Massive storm systems like this centre on mesocyclones — rotating updrafts that deliver torrential rain and high winds.
