Video Showing Foam Shared With Fake Claim

It must be noted that the alleged video shared with claims that clouds are falling from the sky is not true. A fact check of the video revealed that the white, cotton-like figure was not clouds but a piece of foam which was frozen in the nearby river. The foam, which appears to be like a cloud, allegedly flew in the air and fell in the fields in Katka village.

Clouds Seen Falling from Sky Are Large Pieces of Foam

The shape and colour of the foam, which resembled a cloud, confused people, thereby leading to the spread of the rumour that clouds fell from the sky in Katka village. The viral clip also claims that people were able to touch the clouds which fell from the sky. However, real clouds are made of tiny water droplets, thereby making it impossible to hold. People can only pass through real clouds and not touch or play with them, as villagers are seen doing it with the foam in the viral clips. Did EAM S Jaishankar Admit India Lost 3 Rafale Fighter Jets to Pakistan?
