As far as I know, most partial preterists relate the coming in clouds to Daniel 7:13,14, which was an event not visible to the human eye.

Isn't partial preterism like being partially pregnant?

Jesus said that every eye would see him when he came in the clouds. If everyone saw him, how come nobody recorded the event?

Partial preterists do think that Jesus came in the clouds and that it was witnessed.

They’ll take you to Josephus’ hearsay accounts of stange happenings in the heavens at the time of Jerusalem’s destruction.

He “came in the clouds” in 70 AD and one day he’ll come to close up shop.

And they will, at the second coming. As I have said before and demonstrated from Scripture a number of times, not every "cloud coming" in the Bible is the bodily second coming.

Just read Daniel 7. He goes up, not comes down. All with clouds.

Clouds in the Bible are like God’s royal raiment or His divine chariot. To be identified as "coming in clouds" is to be identified as God Almighty Himself. That is why the priests tore their robes in Matthew. 26. They understood exactly what He was saying when He said they would see Him coming in clouds. It was not atmospheric conditions that caught their attention, but the image of God’s throne from places like Daniel 7.
