NASA's Terra Satellite recently captured a strange image of the sky above the Gulf of Mexico and just off the coast of Florida which revealed some odd Eerie holes in the clouds the clouds looked like someone had taken a whole punch to the sky this unusual phenomenon isn't new researchers have been documenting it since the 1940s according to NASA but it wasn't until about 15 years ago that scientists finally found an explanation the features are officially called Cen clouds but are sometimes nick
named hole punch clouds or FAL streak holes they're so big that you can see them from the ground and in space it's no wonder that people have mistaken them for flying saucers or other unusual phenomenon they don't look like your average cloud and in fact they aren't your average Cloud if it weren't for human technology clouds would never exist they form when airplanes fly through banks of mid-level aloc cumulus clouds clouds made of super cool droplets according to a pair of studies published in
2010 and 2011 researchers from NASA's Langley Research Center found in 2010 that the more shallow the angle that the plane takes to pass through the clouds the larger the left behind will be the analysis showed that any type of plane can produce clouds NASA's Terra Satellite captured photos of a cluster of kavum clouds near the West Coast of Florida on January 3 the more than 1,000 flights per day coming from the Miami International Airport are a major contributor to the phenomenon according to
the agency the Terra Satellite is designed to study changes in Earth's atmosphere and the effects of climate change researchers use data collected from the satellite to map the impact of human activity and natural disasters
