Hi Manolin,

The french city of Brumath in the Alsace once had this shield. And it often appears in mid 17th C English and French Arms.

Is it a masonic symbol? Is there a difference in its meaning whether it appears from the right, vs from the left?

OTOH, it might suggest some sort of unholy alliance with the military might of Flying Saucers, which we all know often appear camouflaged within clouds.

Hmmm...

: )
Muchas gracias for your contribution.
I will browse on your sugestions ... without eliminating the flying saucer possibility .
