A recently viral video showcasing a rare phenomenon has sparked curiosity and amusement across social media platforms.
The footage, shared by the Instagram account @undercover.id, captures a peculiar white mass, resembling a cloud, that has fallen and settled on the ground, surrounded by a group of intrigued onlookers.
Cloud falling gracefully onto the ground
The unusual event occurred in Murung Raya, a district in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The mysterious white formation, resembling a fluffy cloud, quickly became a hot topic.
In the video, a cloud can initially be seen high in the sky before it slowly descends, standing out in an unusual way.
As the cloud slowly falls to the ground, many people rush forward to take a closer look, capturing the moment on video.
Condensed water vapor
Despite the fun speculation, scientists have provided a more grounded explanation for the phenomenon.
Experts suggest that the white mass is likely not a fallen cloud but rather a fog or condensed water vapor.
Under specific conditions of temperature and humidity, water vapor can gather and form a dense mass, creating the appearance of a solid “cloud” on the ground.
