Fallstreak holes / hole punch clouds
 (Unusual Observations - Clouds)
 
A collection of photos submitted from locations around the world of an unusual cloud formation, which many call 'hole punch' clouds or fallstreak holes - essentially, 'glaciating supercooled cloud' - ice crystals falling through a supercooled layer of cloud. This is an extremely unusual event to witness and some are quite spectacular. If you have any unusual photos like these, please contact the project coordinator to add them to this page. To learn about this phenomena, see 'Weather Questions' - 'Hole Punch Clouds' at this site. Thanks to all those recent contributors - how this gallery has grown!
