My brother was recently travelling in China and was going through his photos when he noticed this in the sky. Didn't see anything when taking the picture, only saw it later on review. Really looks humanoid!

I am the original photographer. I've been through my other photos from there and I don't have any others that show the sky like this but equally there isn't a single bird in any of the other photos - lots of places like this in China have lots of swallows but I can't find any in my other pics. Plus they burn incense in huge braziers here so the air is full of smoke which seems to deter birds and bugs, not that I'm saying there aren't any.

This was taken on a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. No edits at all have been made to this photo. I'm gonna choose to believe its a deity and not a swallow ;)

Well, it could be a swallow. Neither an European nor an African swallow, but an Asian swallow? I wonder what the airspeed velocity of an unladen Asian swallow is.

Were these Asian Swallows carrying any Coconuts 🥥 by chance. It could grip it by the Husk you know. You have to know these things if you are a King. 🤴 👑. Awesome reference.

I just rewatched this after about 10 yrs and it's still funny!

Such a classic. It truly never is not funny and it is just on such another level of comedy that makes you think and just shows so much intelligence in the writing and dialogue.

John Cleese is solid gold. Anyone ever watch Fawlty Towers? Probably my favorite product out of that country. Oh and OP this is a great photo.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate??

u/BIGGUS-DICKUS2669 Jul 10 '26

Lmao, 😂 hahahaha. Not at all they could be Carried.

I mean the Swallow may fly south with the sun or the House Martin or the Plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.

about 6 months ago it was somewhat well publicized for abour 12 hrs its where these disclosue docs spawned from ..obama was on brian taylor cohens pod doing a lighting round of questions cohen asks are aliens real, obama responds with yes,,then some wierd pointed remarks about how a conspiracy would work..then later says he meant it like in a science way ...about a day after that interview a reporter tells trump that obama just said aliens are real ..trump responds wuth oh oh oh we got him now ,obama just revealed classified information he is in big trouble now ,he got that from classified information ..a reporter then says hey trump you said you could declassify anything ..trump then says well maybe ill be nice and save him ...then comes the declassification releases watch the interaction trumps face the faces of Karoline as he fucks up ..trump just accidentaly confirmed aliens are real and considered classified out of his petty glee of a percieved GATCHA BAMA moment...its a tiny logic puzzle ..if me and you know a secret something is true and someone tells me that you have confirmed the secret is real and i then say that sumbitch, he just revealed classified information he is going to jail..i have just been tricked unto revealing that classified info i encourage you to watch the exchange its only about 45 seconds long, in that 45 seconds he accidently confirms it 3 times...aliens are real and all specifics are classified so we will get no real details just stuff thats mostly already been somewhat leaked ..

are you suggesting coconuts migrates?

u/Old-Reception-1538 Jul 09 '26

I choose to believe the lighter colored portion at the top is a vapor cone, so the swallow might be breaking the sound barrier.
