I saw this beauty at work the other day, although I don't know what it is or how it got there.

Thats pretty sweet

looks somewhat like a lenticular cloud associated with mountain wave turbulance....is there a mountain range within 50 miles of that pic?

There is, about 15 miles away from the cloud to the east of the picture.

Altostratus anyone?

alto stratus is stratus between 6500ft and 20k ft. Being that the OP confirmed there is a mountain range near by, those do appear to be lenticular clouds, note the airfoil like shape

hahahahahaha! man... You guys are too funny. oh wow.

Looks like some type of front passing through. Not the typical saucer shape that I usually see with lenticular.
