Narrative:
While cruising at FL350 over dkk we had a brief encounter with clear air turbulence. Altdevs were 200-300 ft and speed fluctuated 20-30 KTS. Aircraft rolled approximately 30 degrees left. We were in light chop before and after the encounter. The seat belt sign was on and the 3 flight attendants were in the aisle doing their service. There was no chop forecast on the flight plan, the inbound crew reported nice rides, and only light chop was reported ahead at FL350 by ATC.
