The finding remains developing because the plane was also moving, making it difficult to assign full responsibility to the cloud.

Small Cloud Near Left Window May Have Moved, Mike Says

Mike says a small cloud near the left window may have shifted slightly, though he cautioned that aircraft movement remains a factor.

Mike reported Monday that a small cloud near the left window may have moved, though he urged readers not to draw conclusions until the aircraft, window, and cloud have been considered separately.

"Something is different from a minute ago," Mike said. "I am not prepared to say the cloud did it by itself."

The report was filed after Mike noticed a white shape no longer occupying the exact visual relationship to the wing that it appeared to hold earlier in the flight. The Sky Reports desk marked the matter developing because the plane was in active motion and the ground was not close enough to serve as a reliable reference.

Current Assessment

Mike said the cloud could have shifted, the aircraft could have advanced, or the entire sky could have continued its long-standing practice of presenting itself from a new angle every time people move through it.

He added that nothing on the ground could clarify the matter because the ground was "still doing that miniature thing."

Cloud Possibly moved, though it has not confirmed.

Plane Definitely moved, per aviation.

Ground Present but too small to be helpful.

Next Steps

Mike will continue monitoring the cloud until it leaves the window, becomes clearly another cloud, or the plane begins its descent and the ground becomes more legally reportable.

As always, keep flying, my little skyheads.
