Spotted over Comares , Andulusia

[jam]

a friend saw these over Comares last night . Any idea if they are clouds and if so , what type ?

Looks like the early development of Lenticular clouds I think, common over mountains in southern Spain due to winds and topography.

These lens-shaped orographic wave clouds form when the air is stable and winds blow across hills and mountains from the same or similar direction at different heights through the troposphere.
