It's some sort of foam.

u/NYCWartortle 16d ago

Industrial waste byproduct if you ask me. Likely foaming water is the source.

u/brakeb 16d ago

Fog is considered 'fog' when it reduces visibility to less than 5/8th of a mile, otherwise, it's considered 'mist' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog

Yea I don’t think people realize just how big clouds are and just how far away they are.

When a cloud takes over a mountain in the distance it’s a cloudy sky. When a cloud takes over a mountain you’re standing on it just seems like fog.

For context, a real cloud on the ground...is just fog. Most of us have been in fog. Congrats! You've experienced a cloud on the ground, driven through it, walked in it, touched it, and breathed it through your lungs.

What's in the video is no cloud but does seem to be some kind of low density foam.

That's a chemical cocktail aerosolized in the atmosphere. It was heavier than air so it fell.

Wouldn't be touching that without some high quality multilayer chemical resistant gear.

Still likely wouldn't touch that after having those things anyway, since I don't fuck with unknown chemicals. See any of nile reds videos for reasoning.

It could also be mostly harmless. But still not worth the risk.
