So There Have Been Michael Jackson Moonwalking Sightings???

When I saw the stories about people seeing Michael Jackson’s image moonwalking in the clouds of a thunderstorm, I was intrigued. In fact, I was so sure that what they must be seeing was something so awesome that I had to see for myself. Unfortunately, to my surprise, I couldn’t see anything but a downdraft, some rain, a lightning bolt, and a whole lot of hope for something that just wasn’t there.

In trying to find the article, I came across several fan sites for Michael Jackson, and what’s even more surprising is that there are a whole slew of photos from fans over many years who have seen the King of Pop reign high in the heavens. And then again, some of the images fans have seen are not so heavenly. What I imagined I would see in the story that was trending?in June would have looked a little bit more like these — at the very least.

I can’t really tell if the car is dented, or if Michael is supposed to look very pale here. Regardless, I think a few facial features are missing. It still looks more like Michael Jackson than what people in Virginia saw in the clouds on the 6th anniversary of his death. Via BlankExit

This image, which is a reflection of the King on a car hood, looks more like him than the thunderstorm moonwalking image. And yet, some of the images get even more realistic.

This is definitely him. Though suspiciously pixelated, I can clearly see Michael here, posing like the superstar that he was.

So this one might be a bit harder to see, but after the reading the comments I came to realize that you really either see it or you don’t.

I guess, in looking through all these images, I found myself humming “smile,” and hoping that maybe there would be a better image of him. In doing this, I realize that Michael is still inspiring millions, with the hope he’ll return to wow us with more moonwalking.?Six years after?his death, I can honestly say, the world isn’t the same without him. While I can’t see Michael in the thunderclouds in Virginia on the?anniversary of his passing last month, I can see Michael in all the buzz and clamor by people that he would’ve so adored.
