Can any weather experts confirm that a cloud can explode in size as quickly as this pilot is describing? Typically you only see this with time lapse photography or sped up video.

Like the time a tree jumped in front of my car and made me hit it. Would expect planes to have dashcams by now

"shot" in front of them sounds something went by really fast, clouds don't do that.

it will be interesting to read an official analysis about this incident from the FAA/NTSB in the coming months.

It kind of sounds like the pilot is exaggerating because he flew into a strong convective updraft and doesn't want the blame, but who knows? Maybe it could have been an underwater volcanic eruption, but that should be verifiable with seismic data.

Most of our declassified material regarding UAP/UFO activity is over our oceans. The other day I was reading that rogue waves have been recorded at 2-3 times the size of other swells during the same time period. Now this report about a strange plume 45 outside of Honolulu.

When I read about the rogue waves I was thinking about the amount of displacement that might happen if a massive UAP/UFO moved out of our oceans at a high velocity. Now there's a plume rising out of the ocean near Honolulu?

I think aliens are hiding in our oceans...

I’m not a meteorologist but I wonder if it has to do with the cap (or lid) boundary being ruptured? If ruptured is the correct term.

Cap - (also called "Lid") A layer of relatively warm air aloft, usually several thousand feet above the ground, which suppresses or delays the development of thunderstorms. Air parcels rising into this layer become cooler than the surrounding air, which inhibits their ability to rise further and produce thunderstorms. As such, the cap often prevents or delays thunderstorm development even in the presence of extreme instability. However, if the cap is removed or weakened, then explosive thunderstorm development can occur.

The cap is an important ingredient in most severe thunderstorm episodes, as it serves to separate warm, moist air below and cooler, drier air above. With the cap in place, air below it can continue to warm and/or moisten, thus increasing the amount of potential instability. Or, air above it can cool, which also increases potential instability. But without a cap, either process (warming/moistening at low levels or cooling aloft) results in a faster release of available instability - often before instability levels become large enough to support severe weather development.

There was some person on the conspiracy subreddit a few years back that claimed they worked for some part of the government. They said that all the world governments are aware that there's another entity that lives in our oceans, that they have their own cities, more advanced tech, and they're the "aliens" we hear about. They come from the oceans to observe us occasionally but we don't know why. If we mess with them, they easily destroy our stuff, so we all just leave them alone.

Not a true believer of random internet posts, I just think non-political conspiracies are fun to think about.

I don't know but I do know there is crazy weather over the Pacific the last 3 weeks with seemingly infinite atmospheric rivers moving across the entire Pacific and raining down onto California.

Don't they have dash cams for commercial aircraft?

One of the best UAP sightings I’ve heard and at the start he seems to be describing the UAP as coming out of the water, albeit not at ridiculous speeds like described here. Given the whole 95% of the oceans unexplored or whatever that stat now is if UAP are aliens or something wouldn’t be inconceivable that they are doing stuff in the oceans

It was weather:

> Satellite imagery later reviewed by the report’s authors showed strong cells associated with a storm system moving toward Hawaii that were near the flight path, according to the report.

I watched Manifest. Have they been in the air for 5 1/2 years?

When I flew on Hawaiian airlines they were constantly harassing us to make sure our seatbelts were always fastened. Seems that the 25 injured ignored the flight attendants.

I know we're joking aliens, but uh...stealth spy plane? Jet wash + it's paint scheme seem like a cloud to naked eye, radar etc blocked by tech?

It wasnt. Typically flights from the mainland approach the islands from the North/Northeast, no where near any active volcanoes.

In fact, there are no arrivals into HNL that fly anywhere near Mauna Loa or Kilauea.

I'm kinda shocked there isn't any forward camera for accountability. Planes are mostly flown by instrument readings so there's not usually a lot to see up there.
