A New Type of Cloud?

This afternoon I could not help but take photos of these clouds that were pretty much 360 degrees around Rocky Mount, and had the appearance of waves on the ocean. Then I saw Roanoke News had something to say about them as well!

Roanoke news article "Odd clouds moving through the region."

Read this article from 2 days ago in Scotland:
Undulatus Asperatus - crowd sourcing a new type of cloud?
Have we discovered a new type of cloud? Sky watcher Gavin Pretor-Pinney, tells Channel 4 News that we have and it is all thanks to modern technology and the internet.
