The stability of cold relatively dense weakly ionized high-velocity clouds in hot galactic halo plasmas is a highly interesting question of interstellar physics. The question of the dynamical and thermal stabilization of a neutral cloud in a thin ambient plasma is numerically investigated by three-dimensional plasma-neutral gas simulations. The results show the dynamical formation of a magnetic barrier which exerts a stabilizing pressure on the cloud and thus offers a solution to the lifetime puzzle.
