But all the pictures you posted showed that there
was cloud, just very thin cirrostratus. Just not particularly obvious visually, but the photons got captured on the camera chip and became easier to see when the colour balance was changed by reducing the effect of the transmitted blue and increasing the effect of reflected sunlight from the cloud. Look carefully at the right hand image to see what I mean:
The eye responds differently to CCD (or CMOS) chips, and I am not disputing your perception of what your visual system detected, but the photographs you posted
do[/do] show cloud in the "blue sky" streaks.
