VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Residents in Virginia Beach were witness to the appearance of a ‘fallstreak hole’ in the clouds Tuesday morning.

T he clouds, which are also known as fallstreak holes, are nothing to worry about and are not dangerous. You may have even indirectly caused one if you've ever flown.

Since altocumulus or cirrocumulus clouds often cover a wide area, several of these holes may appear on the horizon, especially in busy flight paths. The clouds also appear quite visibly on satellite.

This can be something as small as dust particles or as large as a plane. When something passes through the cloud, it gives something for the water droplets to freeze to.
