Dear Readers, you may notice the dates of the Blog do not match the Flash Post dates which are in real time. The blog was written in 2009 and saw the light of day 6 months back when my younger daughter discovered it and decided to bring it to you here.

“Button, what do you think this is? A bird? A plane…?

This photo was captured by Leesa Willmott on her smart phone camera and is actually a fallstreak formed in the sky over Wonthaggi in Australia. This bizarre sight was seen on Monday  in the town near Melbourne. Adam Conroy, forecaster for Bureau of Meteorology said fallstreak holes are seen when a section of the cloud freezes high up in the sky. Since ice is heavy, crystals fall off leaving a gaping hole in the sky.

This is a relatively rare phenomenon.”
