Strange Cloud Falls From The Sky

[burntheships]

Ok, this is odd.
Not earth shattering, yet it does perplex me.

I dont recall ever seeing a cloud fall from the sky.
Thoughts?

Is this the same kind of stuff they called "Angel Hair" in the fifties?? If it is then is this a UFO related thing? Sorry I can't see what you guys are looking at!   Linda

and take a screen shot of the "cloud".

To much soap in the great washing machine in the sky!  

Also could be sea foam picked up by the wind. 

There is a picture of sea foam on this page.  It is number 10  or maybe 11 down. lol

Good 'cotton candy' effect - can be done in  a variety of software (DreamWeaver is a favorite) AfterEffects comes to mind...

Amy - what is this?


"Alas, another one of those 'shaky camera' CGI projects.

Obvious clues everywhere.

Let's see who gets the most."

(Exits GEL persona)  Ha ha


And Deuem, can you run a Deuem on the 'cloud?'

Good fun here -  Yep - Angel Hair it is!

Such "angel hair" is reported from time to time. Laboratory analysis of authentic material (airborne cobwebs are sometimes mistaken for angel hair) is impossible because the material always vanishes. In the summer of 1957, when Craig Phillips (director of the National Aquarium from 1976 to 1981) witnessed a fall off the Florida coast, he collected samples and placed them in sealed jars. But by the time he got to his laboratory, they were gone.

saw a vid somewhere of the huge cobwebs in oz blowing around after a flood


found it

Well, I haven't worked much with effects in After Effects, so not sure the name of it...  And I have seen the footage before and thought it looked cool, but that there's probably an effect for that.  [grin]
