Fallstreak Holes and Brocken Spectres – BBC Enquiry

[Leah Arnold-Redman]

Hello Cloud Appreciators!
I am a researcher with the BBC Natural History Unit in Bristol, UK. We are doing a short story about Fallstreak Holes and Broken Spectres and I am looking for people who are willing to share (on TV) their photos and experience seeing these first hand.

If you have a good photo or video and are willing to do a short interview with us then please reply and we may be able to get to you to film.

Thanks,
Leah

Not so sure about Fallstreak Holes but I have seen a good few Glories from above in a glider with the glider’s shadow being in the middle (the equivalent of the Brokenspectre).

This is a recent example as I flew close to a cumulus cloud a little above cloudbase on 12th September 2015. Instead of the human shaped Brokenspectre shadow there is of course the shape of the glider, the cockpit being at the centre as that is where my camera / eye is.
