Please follow these basic rules * cough Agent cought Dink cough *, there's plenty of area's this conversation can go too without entering the area of religon.
1. Don't discuss a known religon, personal beleif's is one thing, we all have those, but if it was taught to you by a church of any kind, or any other religous body then it's strictly off limits.
2. Keep on popular topics, known and suspected hoaxes, tame internet footage, and personal experiances.
3. Films, TV series, books and other works of fiction, technology and the supernatural, unexplained events, all fine. Just don't quote any bible.
Just use your common sense, Agent Dink has kindly demonstrated what not to do, and to be fair he was the only one doing it. I don't see why the rest of us should be excluded from an interesting discussion when he was the only person at fault.

What really gets me about most supernatrual sightings, is that they have not really changed over the last hundred years. The photographs are always black and white, and producable via the simple expediant of exposing the film to a scene, sliding black the shutter, then taking a second exposure on the same peice of film. Video's are always very, very grainy, certainly I've never seen anything on DV camcorders, which would be easier to study.
There are of cause other things to account for it of cause.
This is a story about electric blue clouds seen from space. It's not much of a strech that something simular might be seen at ground level.
As others have said, these things are often seen when tired, and the brain does play tricks! How many of us have put keys down, then 30 seconds later been at a complete loss as to where? Of cause we do have an explination for that! It was in harry potter, wizards making shrinking doorkeys
But all in all, the images never change, which is what makes me tend to think it's all made up. Peoples stories are never really different, it's always a ghostly transparent figure. If someone popped on claiming something new I'd be interested
