I wasnt exactly sure where to post this image because the reason Im posting it, is because it is an interesting pic, not necessarily because I think its proof of anything in particular.
The caption on the website where i got the image from claims it is "proof" of weather control. While i dont know if that is true or not, i suppose it is possible.
Whatever the case may be, its just a cool pic

These “hole punch” clouds were just as apparent from above as they were from below. A few of the “holes” are elongated, with what appear to be smaller clouds inside them.

seriously!
On January 29, 2007, inhabitants of Acadiana, the Cajun heartland in southern Louisiana, saw unusual looking cloud formations. These “hole punch” clouds were just as apparent from above as they were from below. This pair of images shows the hole-punch clouds captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite (top) and from the ground (bottom). The MODIS image shows a number of round holes in a blanket of cloud cover over Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas. A few of the “holes” are elongated, with what appear to be smaller clouds inside them.
This strange phenomenon resulted from a combination of cold temperatures, air traffic, and perhaps unusual atmospheric stability. The cloud blanket on January 29 consisted of supercooled clouds. Supercooled clouds contain water droplets that remain liquid even though the temperature is well below freezing, and such clouds are not unusual. According to the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) Satellite Blog, cloud-top temperatures ranged from –20 to –35 degrees Celsius. As aircraft from the Dallas-Fort Worth airport passed through these clouds, tiny particles in the exhaust came into contact with the supercooled water droplets, which froze instantly. The larger ice crystals fell out of the cloud deck, leaving behind the “holes,” while the tiniest ice particles in the center remained aloft.

That's twice you've made that claim in this thread.
Could you provide some reason as to why you believe it's photoshopped?

Than how can water be in droplets at -25 degrees celcius like in all of those reports?
A liquid below its freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form. However, lacking any such nucleus, the liquid phase can be maintained all the way down to the temperature at which crystal homogeneous nucleation occurs.
Water has a freezing point of 273 K (0 °C or 32 °F) but can be supercooled at ambient pressure down to its crystal homogeneous nucleation at almost 231 K (−42 °C)
Droplets of supercooled water often exist in stratiform and cumulus clouds. They form into ice when they are struck by the wings of passing airplanes and abruptly crystallize. (This causes problems with lift, so aircrafts that are expected to fly in such conditions are equipped with a deicing system.) Freezing rain is also caused by supercooled droplets.

There are conflicting statements by multiple agencies that state it is due to jets, then our space craft launches, to unused supercooled jet fuel. They really need to pick one and stick to it!
