Disturbing looking - anyone know the name for this atmospheric phenomenon?
An Unusual Cloud Phenomenon Above the Skies of Victoria, Australia
'Fall Streak Hole' (or 'Hole Punch Cloud')
"Photographer David Barton snapped this extremely unusual weather event above the skies of Victoria, Australia. Apparently the unusual event is called a Fallstreak Hole (or commonly a ‘hole punch cloud’):
Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water has not frozen yet due to the lack of ice nucleation (see supercooled water). When ice crystals do form it will set off a domino effect, due to the Bergeron process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate: this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud.
Not unsurprisingly, Fallstreak Holes are one of the most common cloud-related events reported as UFOs."
The Vashon Island Bike Tree has been there since the 1950s and the bike belonged to an 8 year-old boy. He forgot the bike in that swampy acreage and never bothered to get it back.

Hey, that's only a 15min ferry ride from here
Can't imagine leaving my bike somewhere as a kid and not going back for it until the tree has swallowed and lifted it off the ground

I think you should go there and take photos to verify the story. Inquiring minds want to know if it is true.
I've seen pics of it before. I'll ask some locals firstI think you should go there and take photos to verify the story. Inquiring minds want to know if it is true.
Even the bubbles were freezing this week...
