Rest easy friends, the sky ISN’T falling in

The formation is called a ‘fallstreak hole’, it appeared over Al Ain and the eerie footage was shared by Ibrahim Al Jarwan of the Sharjah Planetarium.

The phenomenon occurs when droplets of water in clouds are below zero, but the water is not frozen because of the absence of ice.

So nope, definitely not a UFO

Seems to be a round UFO in the clouds. Making its present felt. UFO resting in the clouds.
