Waves caused by swirling wind.
My guess is that a small spiral galaxy plopped in.

I was flying over the Great Salt Lake last evening (Friday) a few minutes after sunset when I noticed something in/on the lake I've never seen before.
Looked almost like someone had pulled the plug in the bottom of the lake and the water was swirling down. :)
I wondered if some sort of giant swirl of air could have created it however the air was quite calm with just a little turbulence.
Here's a link to the image. It's just a cell phone image so not high quality but it does show what I saw.
Any thoughts on what it was?
