At least I think it was, the cloud layer was almost stationary and something seemed to have started a cascading effect through this hole.In the close-up you can see some refraction and also perhaps that the air from above the cloud was continuing to flow through the hole - almost like a waterfall - condensing into a tail of lower level cloud as it did so. http://s6.postimg.org/8xqhbnnnl/fall_streak1.jpg

Nice hole punch cloud images...
Nice one
There's been a great layer of Altocumulus undulatus over Yorkshire - I thought I saw a fall streak hole too,but it was too far away to be sure (it wasn't over the NYM though, so it wasn't yours!)
Nice example. I've seen one or two of these round here today.
That's a really good capture
Certainly a good example of a "hole punch" cloud. I can also make out the "mock sun" in the fall streak itself in the third image.
Like it!
