Hole Punch clouds (Punch Hole Clouds) and Fallstreak hole clouds
Hole Punch clouds (Punch Hole Clouds) and Fallstreak hole clouds are variations and stages of the amazing weather phenomenon that creates holes in the clouds.
Hole Punch clouds and Fallstreak hole clouds are so strange when seen in the sky that they are also known as UFO clouds, sky holes, sky circles, cloud circles and crop circle clouds.
What are Hole Punch clouds?
Hole Punch clouds are very strange clearings in the cloud cover. The appear as clear patches of sky in the shapes of circular holes but also as rectangles and even pentagrams. The Hole Punch Cloud then turns into a Fallstreak Hole, where ice crystals or cloud streams out of the hole in an odd but constant pattern. Whatever process or force that creates Hole Punch Clouds has to explain the varying shape of them and the wierd associated Fallstreak Hole.Hole Punch clouds and Fallstreak hole clouds
Hole Punch clouds appear first as, normally a circle or oblong (cigar shape) hole in the cloud and then the Fallstreak hole may appear later but not always. The Fallstreak hole is seen by virga, which is clouds streams of ice being pushed or pulled away and downwards from the center of the Hole Punch cloud
Hole Punch clouds videos and photographs around the world
Hole Punch clouds and Fallstreak hole clouds have been spotted around the world recently. The main sightings have been in Romania, Moscow, Malta and West Palm Beaches (Florida, USA).
You can watch a video of the Romanian Hole Punch cloud here and the Moscow Hole Punch cloud video here.
Photographs of the Hole Punch clouds spotted in the skies above Malta, also the Romania and Moscow Hole Punch clouds (with the Fallstreak part in the middle).
More photographs, including this very strange double connected Fallstreak holes, can be seen and read about in this report of the West Palm Beaches (Florida, America) Hole Punch clouds.
What process or effect forms Hole Punch clouds?
There is no definite answer as to what process formsHole Punch clouds, all the suggestions you read are theories including the standard scientific theory. Some theories of what causes Hole Punch cloud are based on more accepted ideas than others. So, it is still a mystery that will hopefully be solved soon. The standard explanation for what forms Hole Punch clouds is to do with supercool ice crystals and jet airplane exhaust material. The issue with this theory is that it still does not explain the shapes that can be seen.
Another explanation is that Hole Punch clouds are an electromagnetic effect which would also explain the airplane theory as that would be a form of charged plasma (energised gas).
Other theories as to the creation or forces that form Hole Punch clouds range from them being UFO clouds, Crop Circle clouds produced by UFO's and also the product of Government technology such as HAARP. Most other theories apart from the standard explanation favour some form of electromagnetic forces to create Hole Punch clouds
