Fallstreak holes are natural phenomena
that often get mistaken for UFOs. These
‘hole punch clouds’ occur when water
droplets inside a cloud freeze and fall
beneath it, creating a large gap that
looks like a perfect hiding place for
a flying saucer.Aliens, obvi.
The rarity of fallstreak holes is what tends to throw people.
That paired with the tendency to look at anything in the sky and cry ‘UFO!’ is the perfect makings of a false alien alarm.
Sometimes these clouds have little rainbows inside.
They aren’t always circular, though…
They make all kinds of crazy shapes.
Including airplane/sword/cross/wieners.
