I ran across this video from CNN.com – it shows a strange looking cloud formation over New York City. At the 1:25 mark in the video, the reporter goes on about how many people see the face of the recently-deceased Michael Jackson in these clouds…
Mmmm-kay… I’m not seeing it. But then, I was never a big fan of MJ in the first place. And, of course, if you had never even heard of or seen a picture of MJ, then the blob in the clouds above would likely look to you like… well, like a blob.
These clouds are called mammatus clouds, and they are more common than you might think. It’s just that they’re not that common around New York City, which is why so many people there reacted as they did. So, there’s nothing particularly strange there. But what about some people claiming to see MJ’s face in these clouds?
