Such incidents hint at the possibility that stories about aliens and otherworldly beings might be true. Although scientific discoveries and innovations are widely recognized, there remain certain mysteries on our planet that science has yet to explain.
The depths of the Pacific Ocean and Amazon Rainforest are yet to be explored. Also, there have been instances where people have reported to have spotted UFOs flying in the sky. No logical explanation for such occurrences has been found, reinforcing that mystery prevails on Earth. Similarly, a puzzling phenomenon of a floating mass of red-coloured clouds hovering over the sky in Cape Town has baffled social media users. A video of the strange event has now gone viral.
The mysterious clip was dropped on X (formerly known as Twitter) garnering mass attention. “Spotted over the skies of Cape Town, South Africa. What do you think?” read the note accompanying the post. The video opened with the peculiar visuals of a thick smoke of clouds levitating over a building in Cape Town. Unlike the fluffy white clouds, this was dusty red, resembling a reverse tornado. A bulge-like oval feature was tapered downwards while the long, tail-like extension blended into the blue sky. With the blaring sun illuminating the cityscape through the billowing clouds, it evoked an otherworldly feeling.
The internet population did not waste any second to react to the video. “Earth about to get a taste of a tea bag,” commented one user jokingly. “Looks like a giant socket wrench,” noted another sarcastically. “Either a cloud formation caused by a geological feature like a mountain or it is aliens,” wrote a third individual. Shedding some light on the incident, a person explained, “It’s a Lenticular Cloud. They form when the air is stable and winds blow across hills and mountains from the same or similar direction at different heights. They look like an alien spaceship in disguise.”
