Strange polygons when popping out of clouds?

[virgo47]

I was playing a MB-339 wet takeoff mission and decided to go up after the takeoff - and to my surprise I got this on the edge of the clouds:

This is with a maximum zoom-out, but ht was pretty obvious, it looked like some sci-fi shield thing.

I saw something strange in the sky when watching a plane disappear in the F3 view.

 

And suddenly my F-14 was flying over Pearl Harbor!! ... okay not really. But the first line is true.

My first example seems to be a very strong manifestation of some "engine" thing that can be seen also in good weather. Just today, without actually thinking of this problem, this is what I noticed when I was looking around the airport with a bit of zoom out:

You may not see it at first, but it's pretty obvious when you accidentally focus and zoom at it - and it also depends on the clouds around the "seams". Instead of highlighting the lines I made circles around the points where three lines (seams) connect plus a few arrows to point out one of the seams.

I have no idea whether this is a new phenomenon, but I haven't encountered it before the fog update (which I generally like except for the fog being global height, but hopefully they will fix that as well, but it may be completely unrelated).
