KRON4 Chief Meteorologist Lawrence Karnow says the formation is known as a "fallstreak hole" or "hole punch cloud."
The clouds form when there are water droplets that are colder than freezing but have yet to freeze, according to the National Weather Service.
These "supercooled" water droplets need a "reason" to freeze, which usually comes in the form of ice crystals, the NWS explains.
Planes passing through the cloud layer can bring these ice crystals.

If there’s a hole around San Francisco, somebody is bound to try to stick something in it.

So, technically, the sky WAS falling out of those clouds! All those Bay Area Chicken Littles were finally right, but none of them realized it.

That sure looks like the same type hole that was left at O Hare Airport after the UFO was sighted by multiple Ground Crew and several Pilots.
The hole appeared AFTER the UFO took off straight up from hovering over the Active Ramp for UAL.
The O Hare cloud punch was strange because the Weather Conditions were NOT the type that creates the cloud punch.
