Cavum (Fallstreak Hole), which is formed when part of the cloud layer forms ice crystals which are large enough to descend as a "fallstreak". They form in clouds of supercooled water droplets, which in the end, creates a form of virga, a trail of ice crystals that doesn’t reach the ground, but evaporates before getting that far. This classic example was spotted over Charlotte, Michigan, US.
