A bug in the matrix or just the radar? This is no normal cloud-shape, is it?

what a roller coaster, and the ominous unexplained insect edit is a cherryon top

aha here’s a full explanation of the thought process:
- no other weather report matches these patterns
- they’re suspiciously round and not blobby like real clouds
- they’re each suspiciously localised around the radars in the network
- there are lots of types of radar artefacts, including close-to-radar ground-clutter (this is what I assumed it was) but it’s too consistent and large of a signal for that
- so it must be something uniform, in the air instead of on the ground, that isn’t rain
- bugs are about the size of a big rain drop! enough to be picked up as a strong signal by the radar and enough to prevent the radar from seeing long distances
- It’s also been flying-ant-day recently across Europe
