Strange UFO-shaped hole appears in the clouds, but alien landing not likely in NC

Not long after, photos from other people began to appear on Facebook, with some commenting — perhaps tongue-in-cheek — that the shape was not unlike the gap that might be left by a descending flying saucer ... or a cloaked USS Enterprise (a Star Trek reference.)

“ALIENS!” wrote Dan Ciaccio on Facebook.

“Wow! Looks like a scene from Independence Day!,” posted Jennifer Brady Ellis, referring to the 1996 alien invasion movie.

Kathy Lynn Carlin of Collettsville, N.C., was among those who shared photos on Facebook. She told McClatchy news group she and her husband saw the odd formation around 10 a.m. Saturday, as they drove to Statesville on N.C. 64/90. That’s about 65 miles northwest of Charlotte.

She watched for 10 minutes, long enough to see the hole begin to develop an even stranger looking funnel cloud appearance at its center, she said.

“Can someone please explain to me what exactly this is,” she posted on Facebook.

“We rounded a curve ... and it was directly in front of us,” Carlin told McClatchy news group. “We thought it looked like a tornado, but didn’t see any rotation.”

Experts believe a likely explanation is that it was a fallstreak or hole punch cloud, a weather phenomenon that has resulted in reports of UFOs in other parts of the country, according to Earthsky.org.

Hole punches are created when “supercooled” water droplets turn to ice crystals after coming into contact with passing planes, the National Weather Service reports. The frozen droplets start to fall, creating a hole that expands “outward as neighboring droplets start to freeze,”the NWS says.

“They look like strange clearings in an altocumulus cloud layer, often circular patches of clear sky, surrounded by clouds,” reports Earthsky.org. “Sometimes people report them as UFOs.”

In January, the National Weather Service office based in Seattle tweeted that multiple “fallstreak hole clouds” formed over British Columbia, resulting in an MSN.com report of “scary, strange cloud patterns” that resembled a “UFO invasion.”

Astronauts experienced reverse blood flow and blood clots on the space station, study says

A study of 11 healthy astronauts onboard the International Space Station for six-month missions has revealed a new risk of long-term spaceflight.

Six of the astronauts experienced stagnant or reverse blood flow, one had a blood clot and another was found to have a potential partial blood clot.

The study, which involved nine men and two women with an average age of 46, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Network Open. The identities of the astronauts were not included in the study.

Over time, astronauts staying for six months on the station can experience the weakening and loss of bone and atrophying muscles. Astronauts also experience blood volume loss, weakened immune systems and cardiovascular deconditioning, since floating takes little effort and the heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump blood. Scott Kelly and other astronauts in their late 40s and 50s have also complained about their vision being slightly altered. Some of them have required glasses in flight.

The weightless environment of zero gravity causes a fluid shift in the body toward the head, the opposite of what we experience standing on Earth. On Earth, humans spend about two-thirds of the day in an upright position and about a third laying down at night. This causes a daily fluid shift that varies based on our position.

But for astronauts, the fluid shift is sustained for long periods of time. It causes puffiness in the face, "bird leg" syndrome where the legs lose volume, and decreases plasma volume while increasing...
