Can anybody please help me?
What do you say “kumo-no-ue-no-hito” in English? Not ‘ someone on the cloud’ of course?
I’ve heard it is “someone from another planet”. Is that right?

I'm a native English speaker so I'm not exactly sure what “kumo-no-ue-no-hito” means. When you say someone is
"from/on another planet", you're saying that they think differently from
ordinary people or aren't paying attention to what's happening around them. To have your "head in the clouds"
means something similar, that you're aloof and not paying attention to what's around you.

Google seems to think “kumo-no-ue-no-hito” is about social status. If that's the case then I don't think either of these
expressions work, and I don't understand it in Japanese well enough to think of a good English alternative, sorry!

DMM English is extremely helpful when searching appropriate English phrase.
"(idioms you would like to translate like雲の上の人) dmm 英語"
This almost certainly leads you to the right expression.

far noble person
extreme skillful person
verry sophisticated person

you'll find appropriate among these words.

It's "hard act to follow".
