A thoroughly convincing apparition

I mean, really. No one can deny that this photo, published by NASA and taken by the US Air Force, is proof of a holy apparition.

I am touched ...
 
Even NASA calls it an angel. So now we have proof of the existence of angles from a reliable source.

Of course someone will say the photo is fake. But it is not!

NASA calling it an angel is simply blindness to the Truth. Really -- does it look more like wings (with a body the viewer must supply in his mind), or two great meatballs, trailing clouds of glorious pasta? In the name of of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, this sort of denial would make our ancestral midgit weep.

In hopes that you will be touched by his noodly appendage, as I have been, RAmen.
 
Does anyone else think it's a bit sad that something like this, created by nature, thermodynamics, or whatever (I'm sure someone smarter than me can step in with the necessary tech. info here), isn't good enough for people to say "wow, isn't this cool, beuatiful, awesome, etc." without bringing angels and all that crap into it.
 
[Nitpick alert]The caption under the photo says "The jet that released the flares, a C-17 Globemaster III, is seen on the right." But that plane is clearly coming toward the camera. It looks like they were released by the same plane which the photographer is on.[/nitpick]

I must say that of all the possibilities, the smoke does look more like the FSM than anything else.

It could also be that the plane is actually in front of the smoke angel. The angle (pun intended) of the photograph makes it difficult to find a reference.

If the aircraft is in front of the angel then the angel is HUGE.

It wouldn't surprise me.

I saw that, too. Ther Globemaster is clearly behind the smoke, and heading towards it. So if it fired the flares it didn't just do a U turn, it turned back, travelled back a bit, turned again and came back towards the way it was going originally. All whilst the camera plane ignored the actual firing of the flares so that it could get into position just in front of the smoke for a later shot.

I don't buy it. A different aircraft fired those flares, possibly another C-17, with the one we see following behind and the snap taken after the first cleared the frame.

Then you see more clearly than I.
That airplane is going AWAY from the flare remnants.
IT is flying away from the photographer. On that aircraft, it is difficult to tell front from rear when standing in front or behind it.
 
Angel? It really looks more like an octopus or other radially symmetrical creature rather than something we've decided is bilaterially symmetrical.

Verily, I hath been touched by His Noodly Appendage, and cannot deny the veracity of this holy apparation. All bow before His Noodly Might, lest the marinara of doom descend upon ye! The end times are at hand!

*ahem*
