A woman claims to have photographed an angel hovering over the fairgrounds at some state fair in South Carolina. Link. Hmmm… Bright lights, warm evening, South Carolina. It looks like a Carolina Sphinx Moth fluttering by, reflecting the light.
But, she can believe whatever she wants. No harm, no foul.
Wow, what balanced reporting.
No mention of what the “skeptics” actually think (i.e. MOTH! IT’S A GODDAMN MOTH!), just “I believe in angels… It’s an angel.”
OK, they’re probably taking the mick, but you’d think they could actually point out that it’s a moth to stop people reading it and forwarding it to other idiots with a note saying “Hey, they photographed a real angel. Science is wrong again, huh?”
Kind of reminds me of the Darwin “meteorite” photo that turned out to be a bee. (Although that one fooled a lot more people.)
C: Tinkerbell!
I beleive in moths…it’s a moth.
Moths also have a head, wings and legs.
Throw it into a bug zapper and see what happens.
Bloody Vorlons are showing up everywhere these days.
The body’s kind of disproportionate to the wings, but that’s probably the angle and lighting.
Speaking as someone who’s as much as a Christian as the next guy who chows down on wafers and wine… yeah, that there’s probably a bug.
I’ll never cease to be amazed by people who skip the “It looks like a …”
observation to the “It is a …”.
What must it be like to watch clouds go by with these people?
“That one looks like a horse.”
“No, it is a horse.”
“That one looks like an angel.”
“No, it is an angel.”
“That one looks like satan.”
“Agghhh!!!”
TINKERBELL IS AN ANGEL!!! :eek:
Alternative:
TINKERBELL IS A MOTH!!! :eek:
Welcome to November Sweeps.
Sigh. I sat through the stupid “news” video just to see the actual picture instead of the cropped section. When you see the “angel” in context, the moth hypothesis becomes overwhelmingly probable.
Come on, miracles are for those who will see them. Leave the poor woman alone.
I realize that copy editors have gone the way of high-button shoes, but, honestly, what are they teaching people these days?
“…something some might call a heavenly host.” So, like, is that a person who throws a heavenly party?
One angel (or moth) does not a host make.
