What would be the necessary conditions to rain bubbles?
What would be necessary in order for bubbles to rain down from the sky, whether they are actually soap or something else? Would it even be possible?
Aside from a bunch of little kids (which would be awesome to be honest) would there be a natural phenomenon similar to this?

1) Wind formations that lift from the ocean and bring particulate and other light matter into clouds over the land.
2) Regular lightening strikes into the ocean causing:
Dead carcasses of very fatty sealife.
Lye formation (also chlorine formation, but assume the different weights work out such that the wind moves lye and chlorine to different locations).
3) Many birds that gorge on the fatty carcasses and release their excrement into the air where it is then lofted by the winds and brought inland (winds not too strong for the birds to be caught up in).
4) Lye + water vapor + fatty acids = soap.
5) Soap (it's gel at this stage) + more water = diluted liquid soap.
6) Liquid soap + gentle force of forming raindrops + gentle winds = bubbles.
