Qatar plans to implement UFO-style robot clouds which hover over stadiums to keep cool during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The bizarre solution is the brain-child of researchers at Qatar University who were trying to come up with a way of cooling temperatures.

Dr. Saud Ghani says the carbon fibre and solar panels would be around the size of a jumbo jet and automatically programmed to move as the sun moves in the sky

The helium gas-filled remote controlled clouds could then be used to hover over the stadium – lowering temperatures by 10 degrees.
