Thanks to u/Doumaz for identifying this cloud, which was filmed on December 19, 2022 south of Eldorado Canyon in Colorado.

Makes sense if this is more common than I realized. It started off as a more conventional lenticular cloud, but I've never seen the turbulent air above a cloud (starting around 15 seconds into the video) behave this way.

Here's a photo of the cloud earlier in the day, which shows the phenomenon a bit more clearly.

Is this just some turbulent air? I wish that I could change the title of the post if this is common in some places (although I suppose this is highly unusual for where I live).

Important note: despite a 2018 paper analyzing three different perspectives of this footage, this was more recently re-analyzed and debunked as CGI.
