That sounds like the Magellanic Clouds. Two galaxies that are satellites of our galaxy, visible in the Southern Hemisphere. They may be confused with clouds, but they are always in the same part of the sky (including in the apparent rotation of the sky around the Earth, of course).

The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These are visible only from the southern hemisphere, and were named in honor of Ferdinand Magellan, the commander of the first European flotilla to sail all the way around the Earth.
