Check out the ridges on the closeup of the phenomenon, looks like an object rather than a cloud to me..

Lenticular clouds have been mistaken for unidentified flying objects in the past, but they tend to have a flatter lens-shaped appearance. The UFO in Antarctica was thicker in the center with defined edges.
Lenticular clouds commonly form above mountains or mountain ranges. Although there are mountain ranges in Antarctica, these geographic features are not present where the Neumayer Station UFO was photographed.

I'm unconvinced. Could be a product of prevalent winds at the altitude in question.

There are a lot of clouds formed in a lot of places over a long period of time. Any time you have a million things, you can expect that one of them will have a one in a million appearance.

Yes, lets reach for the most illogical far fetched explanation when any number of weather/atmosphere phenomena and nature can produce that more easily, especially in an environment like the south pole where snow and light can do pretty weird things.
Stupid.

That's a cloud. Looks to me that those two tendrils from the first picture came together and peaked out from behind the larger clouds between them and the sun. At those temps sudden direct sunlight moves clouds. That's why it's got such a clean curve.

There is no point in even discussing this with someone who is already convinced that it is a UFO.
