People in Portugal were terrified as a cloud formation appeared in the skies which look like a fist and later on was dubbed as “the hands of god”.

The cloud took an unusual form of a fist from Heaven with a hand holding a fireball as it dominated the skyline across the island of Madiera.

The cloud was spotted by several people on the island, and said that they cannot believe there luck when they look up at the clouds while some commuters made their way to work in the morning rush hour.

Another man who posted some photos and created a blog and it wasn’t so long before his article were noticed and spread across the internet. Amazed onlookers began comparing the orange cloud to everything from a flaming fist of fury to the iconic comet featured in the classic video game.

“As soon as I saw the sky, I was immediately intrigued and I just had to grab my camera to take photo,” said Pacheco. “For me, the cloud looks like an outstretched hand with a fireball.”
