Angel Captured at St Peter’s Basilica
Source of this photo is from Daily Mail
When retired policeman Andy Key went on a trip to Rome, he was struck by the beauty of sunlight streaming through a window in the Vatican. As the Pope made an address nearby, he decided to capture the stunning image on his camera.
But it was only when Mr Key, 48, and his wife Susan, 44, returned home and and downloaded their photographs that they noticed a strange apparition in the picture. They were amazed to see what looked like the image of a guardian angel above the heads of other visitors to St Peter’s Basilica.
Professional photographers have studied Mr Key’s photo and are at a loss to explain what may have caused the image.
This is improbable. The scene is clearly fantasy.

been there twice and that place has got something special going on… despite the fact that the marbles used are mostly stolen from the palacios….
anyway, interesting picture.

seems like reflections to me

I can see where the shape looks like an angel in thetop picture. In the bottom picture not so much an angel as just a reflection of the sun light hitting the walls. The top one does look cool. But i do not need a picture like this to prove to me that angels exsist… i know they are out there everywhere……we just cant see them

Commented by lloydpeters — July 7, 2008 @ 8:31 am
That looks Kinda like an Angle but only somepeople are able to see them. Idont think they would be able to catch it on camera.

Edit Copy & Paste, Gaussian Blur, Diffuse Light, Add noise and you have yourself a lil angel, leave it to Yanks to actually believe that an Angel would allow itself to be captured on camera. I doubt that he was the only one taking pictures…lets see some others of that day.

If it is an angel which I doubt it is, then it is the angel I’ve ever seen.

Comooon…this thing can be “photoshopping”… it cann’t be just like this..esspecialy not in the church or Manastire or cathedral or whatever it is… i dont believe on this..it’s fake , its tryin to fool the ppl ..who believe’s this i thik he is enjoying himself…i dont say that angels dont egzist..but comoon…it’s impobsibble to be like this…God is The Greatest…
Commented by Asttrit — November 19, 2008 @ 7:21 am
theologically speaking, angels are purely spirits.. the term ‘angel’ is their office.. their work.. but they’re purely spirits and cant be seen.. moreover, why would an angel be interested to show himself? i mean, they would rather enjoy being with God than to spend sometyime here in the material world.. this is totally fake.. or if not fake, not an angel.. it could be their counterpart.. who are really fond of deceiving people..
Commented by ian — November 29, 2008 @ 4:56 pm
this technically and definitely not an angel..

i rather believe in angels rather than ghost monsters or any demonic creatures angels maybe the sign of that you have a lucky day today but maybe if see some demonic creature maybe thats the time to say good bye cruel world or maybe you can solve your problems cause if you wont solve any problems when you saw any demonic cretures blahblahblah….

Commented by Ariana — June 9, 2009 @ 5:16 am
Angels love to go in churchs…but i believe god and angels…but the angel in the picture is so little…is angel little like that??maybe it is a truly angel…but if i can ask god about that maybe god will answer me that is an baby angel going to the sky….if this is FAKE how about if thta is true???
sorry if i will hurt somebody who believe its fake…im a CATHOLIC….
Commented by SHALALALALA — June 11, 2009 @ 4:18 pm
Angels are sent by God. They are messengers. That and praising God is their job. Why would they like to hang out at a church when they can actually be with, walk, and talk to The Almighty. Besides we will never see an angel like this. Never, it sends no message to us. God wants more from us than an “awww”.
Commented by Allianna — June 16, 2009 @ 2:36 am
this looks like light bouncing off of something, or at least deffinately an illusion caused by light somehow.

why is its head triangle shaped? and you can make ANYTHING on a computer these days *sigh*
Commented by Ella — October 30, 2009 @ 11:50 am
ummm… dunno if anyone has thought of this, but could it be light reflecting? like a sunbeam off a watchface, could light be reflecting off something larger and onto the wall? because i notice it’s ‘head’ is irregular because it’s on a pillar. if the pillar wasn’t there, i think you would just see a regular square of light on the wall.
