That cloud formation is called Standing Lenticular Alto Cumulus. It's formed by very strong winds aloft rising above the mountains and cooling the air to the dewpoint making the cloud visible and then descending to warm the air and the cloud dissipates. The cloud is actually continuously forming and dissipating therefore in motion but appears stationary. You just lost a few minutes you'll never get back.
