Key West, Florida – An extraordinary atmospheric phenomenon recently captivated observers off the coast of Key West, Florida, as several distinct circular cloud formations appeared in the sky. The unusual sight, documented in a widely shared video, showed perfectly round 'holes' within a layer of altocumulus clouds, revealing patches of blue sky. The videographer, identified as 'BlacktipH Fishing' on social media, expressed visible astonishment at the spectacle. 'Bro, look at these clouds! What is that?' he exclaimed in the footage, drawing attention to the unique patterns. Another voice in the video added, 'It's like a missing puzzle piece.' These formations are scientifically known as fallstreak holes or cavum. They occur in supercooled cloud layers where water droplets are below freezing but remain liquid. When ice crystals are introduced, often by disturbances such as passing aircraft, the supercooled water rapidly freezes and then evaporates, creating a clear, circular void in the cloud deck. The rare sighting has generated considerable interest online, sparking discussions about meteorology and natural wonders.
