Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A local man took footage of the rare phenomenon with his cell phone while driving in Michoacan. After uploading the clip to social media, the visual went viral.
The formation resembling a giant arm and hand has left many people confused and debating about the origins of the cloud.
"This looks like a palm of a hand stretching down with the fingers touching. It is like it is a Holy hand," expressed one comment on the footage by, "Anastacisa." While another user chimed in and described the scene as, "like a halo."
Some people exclaim it is God showing himself to Mexico during a time of uncertainty with the Trump administration.
On the opposite side of the explanations are users declaring it resembles a UFO and it is a sign of an alien invasion or "the arrival of evil to the land."
However, a meteorologist came forward to provide a scientific explanation to a strange situation.
According to the local expert, the shape is a large "vapor mark," about a kilometer in length.
"This is a stationary lens-shaped cloud that forms in the troposphere, normally perpendicular to the wind direction," he explained, according to the Daily Star. "The name for this rare type of cloud is a lenticular cloud."
No matter what you believe the situation to be, it is important to remember that God is a part of our everyday life. Even if he isn't showing you a sign - he is there.
