China: Mysterious Cloud Spotted Over Sky Of Jinan, Shandong

This is the unusual moment that a perfectly rectangular "bilayer cloud" floating solo in a clear sky, resembling a "placed" object. On November 26, 2024, in Jinan, Shandong, the video clearly showed the cloud’s edges sharply defined against the backdrop of blue, sparking intrigue and speculation. Experts suggested that the shape might have been due to the contrails of a high-speed aircraft. When aviation fuel, primarily composed of hydrocarbons, burned, the hydrogen in the fuel combined with oxygen to form water vapor. This vapor rapidly condensed into ice crystals in the cold upper atmosphere, creating a streaking effect that from the ground appeared smooth and thread-like. While the exact cause was still a topic of discussion, it left a lasting impression on those who saw it.
