The claim is viral on both Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A few users have also shared the video using a caption in English<\/a> –\u00a0“Cloud sitting on road at Tibet.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Entertainment website\u00a0Latestly <\/em><\/a>had written an article on the video in September 2018, also claiming that it shows ‘clouds’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

American TV host Ken Rutkowski was among those who shared the video in 2018, tweeting, “This natural phenomenon is very rare.”<\/em><\/p>\n

SANDSTORM, NOT CLOUDS<\/h2>\n

Upon reverse-searching one of the frames on Yandex, Alt News was redirected to a Croatian website<\/a> according to the which the video shows a desert storm. This article was published on July 4, 2016, and claims that the event took place in China.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While Alt News was unable to independently verify the location, a close look at the video makes it evident that the mass is not made of clouds. There’s a distinct difference in the shade of the clouds visible in the sky and the mass on the road, which is wheatish brown in colour.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, there are several such videos of sandstorms available on YouTube.<\/p>\n
