Despite the fact that school textbooks very simply and clearly explain what clouds and fogs are, in reality, these drip formations still hide many mysteries from us, which is why the theory of intelligent clouds even appeared. Back in the 19th century, the British self-taught scientist James Glacier encountered one of these mysteries. Fascinated by meteorology and aeronautics on balloons and balloons, in 1862 he first encountered a strange phenomenon: at an altitude of four kilometers in the clouds over England, he heard music. Five years later, this was repeated in the clouds over Paris, and this time Glacier listened to a wonderful concert of orchestral music.
One might think that the researcher is prone to auditory hallucinations, but in 1867, James invites meteorologist Gaston Tissandier and astronomer Camille Flammarion on a balloon flight, who also heard music in the clouds over Germany. James Glaisher has devoted many years to studying this strange phenomenon and, ultimately, came to the conclusion that clouds and fogs are somehow capable of picking up and amplifying sounds from a great distance. His guesses were then confirmed by other aeronautics, for example, British aeronauts, rising in a balloon over London in a thick fog.
Mysterious sounds of mists
Mariners also talk about this strange property of fogs. On the open sea in foggy weather, they say, one can hear completely unimaginable sounds, say, a dog barking, a cow mooing or a girl laughing, although the ship is surrounded by the ocean for hundreds of kilometers. In the past, when people believed in mysticism, such jokes of the fog often led to panic among the sailors and tragic consequences. But even today it is not known for certain what this "natural phenomenon" is, and whether it is natural at all …
For example, residents of the city of Taos, USA (New Mexico) in foggy weather periodically hear the noise of vehicles passing along the highway from the side of the desert, although there is no trace of any road there. This strange phenomenon even received the name "Taoist rumble", but scientists could not find an explanation for it. Such an unusual case is also known: in 1997, on Ross Island in Antarctica, polar explorers, during a thick fog, heard the noise of a passing train, and the friction of the wheels and the characteristic tapping on the rails were so clear and obvious that they even caused a mystical fear among the researchers. Where did the noise of a passing train come from, no one understood …
Riddles of clouds and fogs - the answers are yet to come

Today, when science would seem to have advanced far ahead, this mystery of clouds and fog remains a mystery. Moreover, it added observations of the strange behavior of clouds, which can take on "speaking" or symbolic figures and outlines, follow people and even help them, for example, saving them from the cold in the mountains, covering unlucky travelers with a "foggy blanket" surprise becomes warm and warming. On the other hand, fogs (these clouds that have fallen to the ground) are capable of taking people to parallel worlds, driving them crazy, and indeed …
And if the learned sounds in the fog (clouds) somehow, albeit not very convincingly, but explain how they blame cloud symbols on the pareidolic illusion, then they simply dismiss everything else: this cannot be - and that's it. And it is, as well as witnesses of such amazing phenomena. However, if only clouds and fogs were mysterious in our world, it is all one continuous mystery, don't you think?..
