I observed this scene last night after I had had my dinner. Someone will verify whether this is noctilucent cloud before I can proceed further. Before this, let Spaceweather.com explains what are noctilucent clouds.

Noctilucent clouds (NLCs) are a mystery. They float through the outer reaches of Earth’s atmosphere at the very edge of space. Some scientists think the clouds are seeded by space dust and fed by rocket exhaust. Others suspect they’re a sign of global warming. Later this year, NASA plans to launch a satellite named AIM to investigate.
