Resembling a robed figure, the formation quickly drew attention, with onlookers becoming convincined that what they were seeing was the shape of Jesus himself in the sky.

The phenomenon quickly made local headline news and footage of the spectacle went viral online.But was this really a sign from above or could the cloud formation have simply been a case of pareidolia (the brain's innate ability to perceive meaningful shapes in abstract patterns) ?
