Oct 13 2009Aliens Are Here, Apparently Vodka Drinkers
Aliens were recently spotted (well, not literally) hovering over Moscow and playing with the clouds above the city because they have that technology and like to make our meteorologists jealous for sucking so bad at predicting the weather (you said no rain today, jerks!). And don't even try to tell me there's some other reasonable explanation for this video, because there isn't. Even Stephen Hawking agrees with me, and that guy knows his stuff. Isn't that right, Stephen? STEPHEN?! Need I remind you you're parked precariously close to the stairs?
Thanks to Sergey, melissa and roy, who would have at least thrown a rock at it or something.

Nope, the footage is clear no blury picture or shaky focus so by the laws of the world the one thing we know its not is a UFO.

ok... On my way back from Sudbury to Ottawa, I saw a sideways funnel cloud... I'm still kicking myself for not taking photos. It must of been a couple kilometers long and not moving, just there, in the sky, lower than the other clouds. That was this weekend

Seen this cloud phenomena several times before. Nothing new.... maybe the reporter and the people in Moscow are just uninformed.

@13 sideways funnel cloud is just another name for a penis, STOMPYs penis if any. He's got a couple of death stars hangin between his legs so it's appropriate.

18. 68wolf - October 13, 2009 4:45 PM
found a link on discovery that explains this, calling it a "punch hole cloud" and another site with a bunch of photos of different examples of them: http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2008/12/punch-hole-clouds.html

This shit happened near me in Florida a few months back. 18 got it right, they're Punch-hole Clouds, weird but harmless.

23. Adam - October 13, 2009 8:52 PM
is it just me, or does it just look like a circular break in the clouds?
I don't think that it looks like light shining through or anything spectacular. Weird perhaps, but not too special.
24. naas - October 13, 2009 9:04 PM
@18 thanks for shedding light on this subject, punch hole clouds indeed. I had never head of this before today - but after 5 minutes of research I learned how to make a 'smoke ring' shoot up in the sky.....

I am going to make one of these as soon as I figure out what fuel they use to produce the long lasting smoke.... Anybody know?

@ everyone
In soviet Russia cloud punch hole in YOU!
26. Ciao - October 13, 2009 10:20 PM
blech, just some weird warm or cold air pocket separating the clouds in a unique formation...or that's just that one cloud that wants space. haha!
27. Gir - October 13, 2009 10:43 PM
Its a giant butthole, prepare for a shit storm...

its a new clvere advert for the game Halo!
The Moscow cloud actually looks like a punch hole cloud but where is the empty center? these punch hole clouds are also seen in other shapes - you can see a pentagram one here http://www.xearththeory.com/punch_hole_clouds_fallstreak_holes.html
Although the Moscow cloud is not a normal looking punch hole cloud the same site on another web page show a photograph of a similar cloud so even though we might be alone that cloud type is not! http://www.xearththeory.com/how_why_what_are_punch_hole_clouds_fallstreak_holes.html

36. Jaded Icon - October 14, 2009 3:00 PM
Easily explained. There's a giant blowing smoke rings in Russia. Now was that so hard?
37. Megadeus - October 14, 2009 3:31 PM
Looks practically identical to this cloud formation:

oi dickheads this was formed by weather currents hitting each other and spinning round in a circle like a mini tornado in the sky
