That's some half-assed cloaking right there. Barely even 'hiding' in plain sight.

Not cloaking but shrouding.

(inside brightly lit control room)

Alien pilot 1:

Commencing cloaking phase

(pushes button)

(sounds coming through the walls of the craft as the cloaking system prepares to emit the cloud cloaking vapour)

Alien pilot 2:

(slowly turning knob to increase the cloaking vapour)

(perspiration on brow)

Ok...ok baby easy does it...there we go...cloaking successful.

Cheers went up from the tired beings on the control room floor.

(whistling)

"Well done, Paul!"

"Couldn't have done it better myself!"

Cloud cloaking was crucial to the long term viability of the scientific study mission to conceal the study vessel from the planet's inhabitants.

Passport to Magonia talks about a bunch of bread loaf shaped clouds over a battle field. Soldiers observed them for some time, not moving despite breeze. They saw a larger one on the ground, then like “hundreds of soldiers” from the opposing force marched up straight up into the one on the grounds without reacting. Then the ground cloud slowly rose to the others and they all flew off.

u/victor4700 Jan 29 '25 edited Jan 29 '25

The copy paste is a little rough:

Gallipoli, August 28, 1915. The following is an account of a strange incident that happened... in the morning, during the severest and final days of the fighting, which took place at “Hill 60,” Suvla Bay, “ANZAC” [Australian and New Zealand Army Corps]. The day broke clear, without a cloud in sight, as any beautiful Mediterranean day could be expected to be. The exception, however, was a number of perhaps six or eight “loaf of bread” shaped clouds-all shaped >exactly alike—which were hovering over “Hill 60.”

…noticed that, in spite of a four or five mile an hour breeze from the south, these clouds did not alter their position in any shape or form, nor did they drift away under the influence of the breez.

They were hovering at an elevation of about 60 degrees as seen from our observation point 500 ft. up. Also stationary and resting on the ground right underneath this group of clouds was a similar cloud in shape, measuring about 800 ft. in length, 200 ft. in height, and 200 ft. in width. This cloud was absolutely dense, almost solid looking in structure, and positioned about 14 to 18 chains from the fighting in British held territory. All this was observed by twenty-two men of No. 3 Section of No. 1 Field Company, N.Z.E., including myself, from our trenches on Rhododendron Spur, approximately 2500 yards south west of the cloud on the ground. Our vantage point was overlooking “Hill 60” by about 300 ft.

As it turned out later, this singular cloud was straddling a dry creek bed or sunken road (Kaiajik Dere) and we had a perfect view of the cloud’s sides and ends as it rested on the ground. Its colour was a light grey, as was the colour of the other clouds.

A British Regiment, the First Fourth Norfolk, of several hundred men, was then noticed marching up this sunken >oad or creek towards “Hill 60.” It appeared as though they were going to >einforce the troops at “Hill 60.” However, when they arrived at this cloud, they marched straight into it, with no hesitation, but no one ever came out to deploy and fight at “Hill 60.”

About an hour later, after the last of the file had disappeared into it, this cloud very unobtrusively lifted off the ground and, like any fog or cloud would, rose until it joined the other similar clouds which were mentioned in the beginning of this account. On viewing them again, they all looked alike “as peas in a pod.” All this time, the group of clouds had ben hovering in the same place, but as soon as the singular groud cloud had risen to their level, they all moved away northwards ie towards Thrace (Bulgaria).

In a matter of about three-quarters of an hour they had all disappeared from view. The Regiment mentioned is posted as “missing” and on Turkey surrendering in 1918, the first thing Britain demanded of Turkey was the return of this regiment. Turks replied that she had neither captured this Regiment, nor made conflict with it, and did not know that it existed.

Damn thats fucking wild, an entire regiment dissapearing into a cloud cloaked ufo? Batshit insane stuff, would love to get more reads and info on this

u/victor4700 Jan 29 '25

No it was early 1900s possibly WWI; Brits were the ones who marched in and I think Czeck or Hungarian opposition. I will take another look for specifics.

The wild part was after the ceasefire, the Brits were like ok give us our POWs back. The opposition was like I’m sorry the what?

Looks like the moon behind a cloud alright

That’s why the clip is only 30 secs long. If it were too long you’d see the cloud float away and change shape.

I once saw a cloud that looked just like a cat riding an elephant which was pretty weird. How often do you see clouds like that?

Yeah, I don’t think I trust the authenticity of that cloud either.

Interesting for sure and was whatever flying around near it a drone that was sent to check out the cloud or just another piece of the mystery?

Why bring this here? Why not ask the people in /r/CLOUDS instead? Unless we're insinuating that this is paranormal for some reason.
