The phenomenon sparked several conspiracy theories on social media on Wednesday. (Geoamantes/Facebook)


On Wednesday morning, the residents of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas observed a peculiar event in the sky: a hole in the clouds.

The phenomenon occurred at around 9:00 a.m., when some captured an unusual cloud formation with a hole in it. The cloud appeared either oval or round, depending on the location from which it was observed, with an irregular rainbow also visible in its center.

Images of this distinct phenomenon went viral on Wednesday, giving way to all kinds of conjectures.

While some people suggested it was an extraterrestrial ship with an invisibility effect, others claimed it was a portal or an apocalyptic signal. Even Mexico’s best-known ufologist Jaime Maussan shared the videos of the strange cloud on his social media accounts, saying it could be “atmospheric” but could also be an “anomaly.”

A MIB situation.

3. I'm sure the weather is real, but the photo has been manipulated

There is something weird going on with the boundary at the telephone wire. The sky on the left is a different shade from the sky on the right of the wire.

4. I'm not saying it's aliens

but it looks like one of the pictures was edited badly to try and make it look like it was over a specific town.

6. Another fallstreak cloud. Caused by supercooling of water droplets. Perfectly natural.

Just because something is relatively rare doesn't mean it's an "anomaly".
