Is it PHOTOSHOPPED? Halo Over Moscow

A Halo Over Moscow

by Mike Krumboltz
6 hours ago

And you thought rainbows were cool. A few days ago, a mysterious cloud shaped like a halo appeared over Moscow, and the buzz has yet to break.

We're the first to admit that a photograph of the heavenly cloud appears to be photoshopped. It's just so...perfect. But meterologists have spoken up and said the cloud wasn't digitally altered. However, it wasn't exactly what it appeared to be, either.

When the cloud initially formed, some UFO enthusiasts declared it to be a "true mystery." Some even compared it to the giant spaceship hovering over Earth in the movie "Independence Day." Reality quickly dashed any predictions of an alien invasion. An article from the Daily Mail explains that the "luminous ring-shaped cloud" was simply an optical effect.

An official spokesperson for Moscow's weather department said, "Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west — this is how the effect was produced."

The cloud loomed last week, but the searches are still soaring. Lookups on "halo cloud" and "moscow cloud" are both booming, and a video clip has garnered hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. You can check it out for yourself below...

Thank you no caste,

Computer was in for repair about 10 days and I wasn't able to keep up with everything on the slow spare computer.

After a quick scan of posts I didn't see it, should have done a PA search.

Thank you bou x too.

I use Photoshop. I don't think it is Photoshop per se. But it could be generated with Flash technology or CGI (computer generated imagery).

They would have debunked it on RT if it was computer generated.
