Strange Cloud Formation Over Tampa Bay
-
TAMPA (Nov 24th, 2008) – An unusual cloud formation had drivers all over Tampa Bay looking up Monday morning. People peered skyward to discover an alien looking hole in otherwise uniform high clouds. Several FOX 13 viewers e-mailed photos to the station, asking what caused the strange formation, which appeared before 8 a.m. over Old Tampa Bay or eastern Pinellas County.
FOX 13 Meteorologist Howard Shapiro could not explain the oddity. He described the clouds as Altocumulus, and said their circular orientation was puzzling. Chief Meteorologist Paul Dellegatto said it was probably just “luck” that the clouds ended up looking so eerie…
Anyone have any ideas what could have caused this?

High-frequency water ‘beings/ships’ (much like we are low-frequency water-ships)
coming down and cleaning the atmosphere?
November 24, 2008 pm30 6:55 pm
Crop circle in the sky. When we figure out what causes those we may know about this, however I hope we see more of them. Preparation for something bigger, more solid, much more challenging to explain.

its looks like there testing HAARP to me…

Looks like a super heated ionosphere to me so my money’s on H.A.A.R.P

well what is directly below this cloud circle? water, land, building?
and what might be above?
for the clouds to do that something is there a gas or vapor or umm?

I live in Lakeland…about 35 minutes away…and they were spraying us all day…a lot, the entire sky looked like the pictures above, except for the shape in the center…had something to do with what they were spraying…

1st pic looks like a peacock feather… how it looks like an eye… maybe the all seeing eye
November 26, 2008 pm30 5:41 am
There were three in a row!!Does anyone know of any pictures of all three.That picture is of the west most circle.There were two more directly east of that one.The other two had no clouds in the middle.They were perfect circles with clear middles.
November 26, 2008 pm30 12:55 pm
This I cannot believe, even though I would really want too, because that is too easy to photoshop these pictures with.. So don’t truly believe that unless you seen it in real life.

My hammer will strike lighting bolts at the darkness. Anybody…. anybody, “a” wants going on. Check out You Tube for the Crystal Skull in relations to City of Atlantis. Just look at videos in You Tube. The Crystal Skull talks about the Light, and how the human body was met to use it.

I live in Riveira Beach, not far from Lake Park and Palm Beach Gardens and the sky here in the last few weeks has also looked odd, like too many clouds from chemtrails or something. Just alot of that same kind of look in the pictures viewed above without the center circle. On Tuesday morning of this week, I ran some errands at about 8:30am and noticed a rather very low on the horizon, dark looking, very long residue from possibly a chemtrail. I don’t know what else it may have been. The color was a smoky graish and seemed to have started somewhere from around Singer Island or West Palm and stretched miles toward Royal Palm Beach area or further. I never got to see where it ended. I almost went off the road trying to figure out what it was. I have never seen anything like this before and I didn’t have a good feeling from it. I’ve never seen a rain cloud look like this.
November 26, 2008 pm30 6:49 pm
I live in New Hampshire and have been following chemtrails very closely. This is the most common pattern.
if you look close enough on any given day you can see that round pattern almost every time , just not
that define . I’ts some kind of energy pattern being zapped through the chemcloud at an extra low
frequency from one or more of those weird looking cell towers that seem to be everywere now.
Probably harp related as well.

As we develop the technologies to see farther out into space, we earn the right to see the messages left behind for us to find. A bit like Star Trek’s Prime Directive/First Contact working in our interest, if you like. The archaeological ruins/remains being photographed on the not-so-red planet Mars. There ARE really ancient tube-like canals, forests, a heart-shaped lake, not 2 mention ginourmous pyramids there. Likewise, we, at our level of societal evolution, having gained the right to first contact in1946 with the detonation of the nuclear device at Hiroshima(and look at all the flaps which followed that event in the 50′s), are an object of interest for all the other races in the galactic-union, that societal-evolution not being an event that commonly happens n the galaxy, some of those races would be interested in whether we reach stage two, ie whether we unite, becoming peaceful & join them, or perish. Naturally in watching us they would need to cloak their ships, but there are ‘mistakes’, hence the hole

A perfectly natural formation known in scientific jargon as cumulus circulus gemymus,,,,,,,or in common language, Aunt Jemima Clouds !!! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha haha. I say we choose up sides and get ready
for an awakening.

HAARP can modify the weather – hurricanes etc..are they tryin to show us wot they can do?…a fake alien invasion next? = http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=9578B2C9E76EF95F
November 27, 2008 pm30 6:25 am
well, this is a bit whacky when i looked at the picturs my reaction was one of something looked like crop circles in the sky. then i thought about chemtrails, then harrp perhaps all three are correct. i feel it is how you all react to looking at it, i am very supicious of anything as uniform as this, nature cannot produce this type of thing. but it is in the eye of the beholder how do any of you react? how do you feel?, go by your intution, possibly the right way to look at it all. maybe it is orgonite clearing the chemtrails hence the hole in the sky? there are more questions than answers pretty confusing but intuition will be your guide. tune in adn feel your answers coming to you.
November 27, 2008 pm30 6:52 am
chemtrails, when close together eventually span out into a carpet formation. Typically they are lower in the atmosphere than real clouds and as a result they are more susceptible to things going on on the earth directly below them. I’ve gotten so used to seeing these formations in the sky where i live i don’t pay much mind to them anymore. They are made up of alluminum and barium and are there to toxify your body and environment. Your best defence is a strong mind and character and a healthy body.
November 27, 2008 pm30 6:53 am
you are right polly, orgonite is a good possibility.

November 27, 2008 pm30 9:56 am
That circular formation is probably the result of a vortex interacting with the cloud formation.

Whatever it is… Remember, we have the ability to change the course of anything, through right minded thinking, pure loving intentions, meditations, prayer, and being sure to act them out in our daily lives. The loving benevolent beings are for sure here helping at this time. So, stay positive, with a smile on your face always for others and we will have the upper hand.

These are definitely Cloud Buster circles. Orgonite is a great thing but should be disabled when not in need and then they don’t mess with natural clouds.
November 27, 2008 pm30 5:45 pm
Maybe someone has a small cloud buster setup on the ground.
November 27, 2008 pm30 6:12 pm
Its real I feel that it is a formation of a light ship. Maybe they are still here and where as we are looking for lights, they have the ability to appear in a form that is unknown. Just use your wisdom and listen to your inner soul. Some friends of mine happen to have pics of this as well. They live in Tampa!
November 28, 2008 pm30 11:55 am
The puffy clouds were likely composed of ice crystals and very small super-cooled liquid water droplets. Studies have shown that very small supercooled liquid water droplets can exist well below freezing (as low as -40 degrees (C, or Centrigrade) ). The temperature in the cloud layer was around -24 deg (C) at the time of occurrence. Sometimes…when ice and the supercooled liquid droplets coexist within a cloud…a process occurs whereby ice crystals grow at the expense of the droplets. If the mixed cloud is agitated…the supercooled droplets freeze instantaneously. It is understood through microphysical arguments that water vapor must evaporate from the surrounding supercooled droplets and flow towards the ice crystals. This would start a cycle whereby newly formed ice crystals cause the surrounding droplet to evaporate…resulting in a circular form void of clouds with a mass of crystals in the center. Many photos taken that day seem to represent this process.
a plane or something els can trigger this.
November 28, 2008 pm30 12:07 pm
I have two pics of the same kind of cloud formation.I was driving a trk north on 95 in Maine and saw something just like this.I will try to post the pics.If I can’t post them here,I will post them on chemtrailltrackingusa.com,thx rusty.
November 28, 2008 pm30 7:54 pm
I can’t think of anything scientifically or physically that would create a perfect circle inside some clouds. The only logical assumption that could be made is that there is a cloaked alien spacecraft hovering in the air or descended/ascended through the clouds to create that circle.
November 29, 2008 pm30 12:11 am
Excellent photos. You can see the air swirling in the center
A wind tunnel or a Vortex.
A spiral motion of fluid within a limited area, especially a whirling mass of water or air that sucks everything near it toward its center
—-
And the rest of the aerosol soup surrounding the hole, looks like a controlled
geometrical patterns of spheres (polygonal/hexagonal patterning). That other matter
looks like the replication of bubble/gas surfaces. Almost 3D like.
I recently read at Harvard Univ., where they have the capacity to manipulate bubbles to last
up to a year, controlling the elastic response of the gas of the bubble. I understand they
have applied for a patent for this technique, of making gas bubbles stable.
Those sure look like stable bubble pattern hexagons or pologons all stretched out instead of
in a circle.
Weird. Doesn’t look like “RANDOM LUCK” to me, of those cloud formations ending up
the way they did.
November 29, 2008 pm30 12:21 am
None of it looks natural. The spheres surrounding it are also too uniform.
Almost like they are self replicating, like DNA replilcates.

Fascinating. A moderatly good example of a “Hole Punch” cloud formation and the loons and conspiracy theorists scurry forth from their holes to pimp their lunacies…..

It is the unseen design of this universe behind the apparent. What you are seeing is just a small section of this universal design. This so called “pattern” is visible only when you are awake enough to be aware. You can see the design into infinity with spiritual eyes. Everything that exists can be found within the design. This design infiltrates and is also multi-dimentional. The design is “information”, the seed of all that exists. This design is intelligent…it has existed since the beginning or even before time. The design is sort of a matrix that knows all and is all. We will all wake up to the reality of who we are. We are the design…recognize this fact and all of creation will weep with joy at your integration with ONENESS. Everything has been waiting for us to be recognized as self.

Has anyone here ever “vaporized clouds”?, the reluctant messiah
November 29, 2008 pm30 8:03 pm
obviously a cloaked ship.
November 29, 2008 pm30 9:38 pm
Sharpinchicago nailed it, someone in Tampa has a pretty good sized Orgonite cloud/chemtrail buster. Anyone ever watched Orgonite in action? Check this out, the guy erases part of a cloud with a handheld Orgonite cannon. (move the slider to the last minute for time-lapsed)

Possible probability explanation:
It could be a spaceship on such a high vibratory level, that it is displacing the cloud formation but is invisible in itself.

December 1, 2008 pm30 12:29 pm
I have seen these cloud circles in Sedona, AZ whenever UFO activity is reported. I agree with D-2012, it’s a cloaked ship. Also reported above the airport in Chicago last year, over Los Angeles basin earlier this year, and in Australia before the big rain started to fall.
December 1, 2008 pm30 2:51 pm
those clouds do look just like the clouds that appear after chemtrail spraying. i didn’t notice chemtrails here in SF for a few months until recently they’ve been at it again. the sky has been more smoggy looking than usual also, even though we’ve had rain & such. i’d say this has something to do with chemtrails/HAARP by the thin feathery widespread clouds & reports of chemtrails in the area.
December 1, 2008 pm30 3:22 pm
hmm looks like a cold fortex from above……
December 1, 2008 pm30 3:38 pm
amazing … the shape does look like the enterprise ,lol btw i had done some art that had something in the sky a month ago..and yes it does appear like a gateway of some sort but then the idea of a cloaked ship is another possibility..
December 16, 2008 pm30 9:41 am
It is quite *clearly* a hole punch cloud. Look up info & images on the Web.
December 16, 2008 pm30 1:49 pm
Sorry. I farted.

January 19, 2009 pm30 11:31 am
yeah thats the first think i thought too when i saw it. cloaked ship.
March 1, 2009 pm30 11:47 pm
I agree it looks like a HAARP ‘zap’ however I do wonder if they aimed it at a cloaked ship. The cloud beneath the ‘opening’ could be due to the interference in wave pattern going through a space craft of some sort. Very fascinating.
March 6, 2009 pm30 6:06 pm
It looks to me like an Alien craft that is just enough out of frequency that it can not be seen completely by us in this demention, they are slowly making themselves know to us that they are out there to contact us when the right time comes.
April 4, 2009 pm30 3:25 pm
Oh my god!!! Notify the GHOSTBUSTERS!!
April 23, 2009 pm30 2:42 pm
No, to most of you. I think I counted three with the right idea. It’s called a “fallstreak hole” and is a natural cloud formation. The mechanics (well the thermodynamics) are explained above by smoets 11/28/2008. Of course nature can make a circle near perfection. There are circles and 3D circles (aka spheres) everywhere; have you never seen an orange? Any vortex is fundementally circular. Geez. Has no one heard of Occam’s Razor? In most instances, the simplest is the best. Cloaking alien invading mind controlled by power waves people of earth is certainly not simple. Or even plausible.
April 23, 2009 pm30 3:47 pm
Whatever it is it looks fascinating. We live in a wondrous Universe and with it zillion possibilities…..
May 25, 2009 pm30 1:44 pm
Yep, Stars is right. They are “holepunch” or “fallstreak” clouds.
They tend to happen later in the day when the air is cooling.
At a certain point, small ice crystals find themselves agglomerating more ice upon themselves from the slightly supersaturated air around them.
As they gain weight, they start to fall more quickly, and entrain air with them to form a downward-travelling breeze.
Severe instances (ahead of storms) can bring down aircraft attempting to fly through them.

A couple weeks ago in tucson az. there was a stange cloud formations that looked like corn rows in a field. Very symettical and looked like a spray pattern with each rows starting point and ending point at the same place as if someone drew a starting line and a finish line. these hung there above tucson illuminated by the city lights and didn’t start dissipatating for almost an hour. have you by chance seen anything like that.
July 18, 2009 pm30 12:18 am
They sound to me like “Kelvin-Helholz” clouds.
Google this (pictures) and see if I am correct.
I haven’t seen these myself: I was only recently made aware of them.
