Video.. What is the secret of the cloud that landed on the ground in Indonesia?

Arab Weather - The Morong Raya area in the Indonesian province of Kalimantan witnessed a strange scene documented in a circulating video clip, showing a white cloud-like mass slowly descending from the sky to the ground without being affected. This unusual phenomenon sparked widespread controversy and questions on social media.

Incident details and initial reactions

In the video, a number of miners are seen approaching the mass curiously, leading some to speculate that it was a “cloud that escaped from the sky.” Activists used the scene to make jokes, with some saying that the cloud was probably tired of the rainy weather in Indonesia, while others linked the phenomenon to fictional characters such as Son Goku from the anime “Dragon Ball,” who is famous for riding clouds.

Scientific explanation from the Indonesian Meteorological Agency

After the video went viral, Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) clarified that the cloud was not a natural cloud. Andri Ramdhani, director of the General Meteorology, said the phenomenon could be caused by condensation of water vapor or gas emitted from mining activities in the area.

Ramdhani said environmental conditions, such as low temperatures and high humidity, may have played a role in the formation of this strange mass. He added that natural clouds cannot land on Earth as solid masses because they are made up of very light particles that spread through the atmosphere and evaporate before reaching the surface.

Interaction between nature and human activities

Between scientific explanations and internet memes, this phenomenon remains one of the rare events that highlights the impact of interactions between human activities and nature. The scene reminds us that our world is full of oddities that never cease to amaze us and arouse our curiosity to understand more deeply what is happening around us.
