The clouds have always been hungry thing, we've just never noticed before because we weren't looking at them as living beings. They hide among the 'true' clouds like wolves in sheep's clothing, camouflaged and eagerly awaiting their next meal.
Planes go missing far less than they they used to but, of course, now they are big and crowded things full of too many lights and too much meat for a single 'false' cloud to handle and they don't seem to be able to get close enough to each other to share food.
When a commercial plane disappears we blame another country and we assume there will be a wreckage. Unfortunately some of the 'false' clouds have reached such a size where leaving even the slightest scrap of metal behind is highly unlikely.
If it weren't for an astronaut's lucky photo of a sunset, showing several clouds with milky grey eyes and gaping mouths swallowing entire flocks of birds, we might never have known there was anything but air and water above us. Not that knowing has changed anything.
Everyone tries to fly lower, use smaller planes and even avoid air travel when possible but it hasn't stopped the 'fales' clouds from existing. If anything it's made things worse and helped the smaller ones eat far more frequently and voraciously.
They are all growing at a faster rate than we could ever have anticipated and they are beginning to swarm.
