Social media reacts to ‘Hand of God’ image seen in sky

The image was snapped above Arizona this month and has been
uploaded to YouTube.

Channel
MrMBB333 revealed the image in a footage entitled Hand of God and said it was
emailed to him and to the best of its knowledge was not digitally edited.

According
to UK Express, the image shows a shadowy shape over a sunset that appears to
resemble an outstretched hand.

One
YouTube user wrote: “It’s a miracle.”

YouTube viewer Lisa Kirk posted: “I love the hand of God
photo. 

“Those
of us who believe do not need a reminder but in these crazy days it is nice to
see he shows us his love.”

Others
suggested it had been edited.

Scott
C Waring, a paranormal and UFO blogger, featured the image on his website
ufosightingsdaily.com.

He wrote: “This sunset photo looks like a giant hand
reaching up. 

“It’s
easy to take it as a sign since the outreached hand is often a sign of helping
out others…a sign of love, caring and friendship. 

“Since
the abilities of angels and some aliens are in essence equal, its comes to
reason that one can be the other, but this sign was meant for someone out
there. It has purpose to it.”

Sceptics say claims like this
are nothing more than conspiracy theories.

They
say images like this are just the result of pareidolia when the brain tricks
the eyes into seeing familiar objects or shapes in textures or patterns like
the surface of a rock or clouds.

Sceptic
Scott Brando, who runs hoax-busting website ufoofinterest.org, which debunks
alleged paranormal events, said: “I think it’s an effect like crepuscular
rays, but for a confirmation I’d need the original image by the author.

“If
the image is real, the hand is a pareidolia effect, but, in my opinion, without
the original picture, I think it is a fake.”
