admin An unusual weather phenomenon was noticed in the Southern part of the United States. Most residents were left in awe of the fallstreak holes that were created due to the weather conditions.
The fallstreak holes are a science phenomenon that occur when the temperatures drop very low and there is atmospheric instability. A part of the cloud falls off the sky. This is usually seen in the middle level clouds and this phenomenon is also known as hole punch clouds.
The clouds that fall off usually have water stored in them in the liquid form. But this water is usually very cold and it remains liquid despite going a little lower than the normal freezing point.
Although, if there is any form of additional cooling, these water droplets cannot be pushed further and they convert themselves into ice crystals.
It is these ice crystals or water droplets that fall from the clouds leaving behind a bog void in the cloud. This is what creates the hole and is seen by the people and are called as fallstreak holes.
Most often these fallstreak holes are creating by aircrafts and the wate droplets crystalise on the surface of the airplanes. The falling crystals can be noticed by even the naked eye if looked carefully.
An apparent illusion is created wherein the cloud appears to be a combination of blue and white. The aircrafts when passing through the sky irrespective of whether are ascending or descending act as triggers for the fallstreak holes.
Because of this very reason, it is noticed that most of the fallstreak holes appear near the busy airports.
This unusual phenomenon left the people in southern United States dumbstruck but did not catch the eye of the NASA scientists who believe it to be a normal phenomenon.
According to the people, it was beautiful and acted as a pre valentine day gift for them. These fallstreak holes dotted the entire skies and were somewhat shaped like tiny hearts in the middle making it even more special for the viewers.
