ive never heard of this before but maybe ive seen it . is this when the glass gets the white haze to it . normaly in little dots all over the back glass.ive allways refered to it as bad glass. please explain this to me

I was on like the 25 26 27 floor .just scraping the glass going along like nothing . pretty big windows maybe 6 feet high and 5 feet wide.
