Cloud lands in United Arab Emirates

Can a cloud defy gravity and fall out of the sky to settle on the ground? A video shot by an Emirati shows it happened in the UAE and the lucky photographer considers it as a heavenly miracle.

The film shows the small white cloud flying low above the ground before taking a downward direction and falling, settling on a fence in the fertile Bida Faris area just outside the eastern oasis town of Al-Ain.

The unidentified man who captured the unique phenomenon then handed his camcorder to a farm worker and asked him to continue shooting as he headed towards the cloud and pushed his hand through it.

The film shows the cloud split into some parts as it hit the ground. Small parts were seen blown off by the wind while the main part remained stuck to the fence. “I could not have believed this hadn’t I seen it and captured it,” the man said. “I believe this is a miracle that illustrates God’s power.”

Fake as all out, but it doesn't matter; religious nutters will happily buy into it, just like Jesus' face appearing on Jimbob-Billy's pizza box.

That looks more like foam than a cloud.

Uh it's firefighting foam.

TimO wins - AFFF, aqueous fire fighting foam. Happens all the time when we use it for drills on offshore oil rigs.

There is a UAE air force training college and airport near there. Foam from a fire fighting exercise sounds just about right.
