A video of Indonesian origin is also arousing curiosity in Italy. The scene, filmed in Muara Tuhup, shows a white and soft object slowly descending to the ground, capturing the interest of several workers on site, one of whom, fascinated, decides to hug it. The phenomenon has quickly gained popularity on social media, reminding many of the famous "speedy cloud" of Goku, the protagonist of the animated series Dragon Ball.
Analysis of the Phenomenon
At first glance, the object might look like a cloud that has fallen to the ground. However, science teaches us that clouds are not solid entities but an aerosol composed mainly of water vapor. Being less dense than air, they do not sink but disperse into the skies. So, what could that which appears to be a terrestrial cloud be?
Technical Perspectives
Several experts suggest that it is more likely a foamy compound. The region where the video was recorded is a mining area, often subject to construction and industrial operations. In such environments, it is common for materials expelled from mining operations to combine with water vapor and gases, especially in conditions of low temperature and high humidity. This process could explain the appearance of the “cloud,” which formed as foam due to the release of gases under pressure.
Security Considerations
Despite the inviting, soft appearance of what appears to be a cloud, embracing it may not be without risks. Experts warn that the foam may contain pollutants or potentially toxic chemicals from nearby industrial activities.
