I've seen a 'telegraph pole' emerging from the clouds as the plane I was in was arriving at Manchester Airport; it was brown, and massive.
Eventually I recognised it - the top section of the Emley Moor Transmitter.
The colour surprised me - it seemed definitely brown, wheras I know that the Emley Moor structure is made from light-coloured concrete. This must have been a contrast effect - the concrete just looked dak because it was surrounded by while clouds.
I wonder if that is what you saw.
Here's an image of Emley moor in low cloud; the clouds I saw came further up the transmitter, but the top was clearly visible.
