The Illusion in the Clouds: Are We Witnessing Miracles—or the Rise of a Global Deception?

From viral “Jesus sightings” to secretive military tech, the world is being conditioned to believe what it sees. But what if what we see is not real?

The Day the Sky Broke Open

Beginning in June 2025 in Naga City, Philippines—where more than eight thousand worshippers gathered at the Basilica of Our Lady of Peñafrancia for a spiritual service—the story unfolds. A woman turned her face to the heavens and became motionless inside the church. The clouds above were splitting as if a curtain was being raised.

A specter materialized.

Arms apart. Radiance spreading away. Jesus Christ's undeniable form as He was positioned during the crucifixion.

The woman yelled, "It's Jesus!" Mobile phones were lifted in a few minutes, people were weeping, praying, and passing out from a mix of hope and fear. The videotaped images went through the virtual world and racked up over five hundred million views. Over several days, the hashtag JesusInTheSky dominated trends on social media.

Was it a miracle? A spiritual message? Indication:

or anything totally different?

Because this incident was not a one-time affair.

When the Heavens Turn Into a Canvas

Just a month later, in July, residents of Alabama looked skyward to discover a huge image of Jesus hanging in the heavens—not just for a few seconds but for many days. Moreover earlier in February of the same year, witnesses in Jerusalem alleged to have spotted a similar figure among the clouds.

Various continents. Changing societies. Same graphics.

Deliberate orchestrating or chance encounter?

Many considered these events unusual. Some dismissed them as digital changes. But the more important question is much more complex: are these sightings actual spiritual occurrences or signs of a technical hoax going on across the world?

The answer might lie in a plot started almost thirty years ago by a Canadian journalist before the internet even arrived.

The Whistleblower Who Warned Us

Serge Monast, whose name is not often known in popular history, declared in 1994 something that would inspire one of the most horrible theories of current times. He warned about NASA's Project Blue Beam, a supposed global plan intended at establishing a New World Order through the simulation of miraculous events, he claimed.

Monast suggested this plan was broken into four different steps:

1. Modify archaeological discoveries to undermine religious convictions.

2. Show massive atmospheric holograms of deities.

3. Use ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) waves to send messages straight into people's minds.

4. Under a single dictatorial global government, unite mankind.

Just two years after making these claims, Monast died unexpectedly under mysterious circumstances following detention in 1996. No autopsy was conducted. No investigation was started. Though they never truly disappeared, his contributions slowly lost prominence.

Many people are beginning to wonder now: Were his alarms just stories, or are they a plan we are only starting to see come to pass?

Technology That Ought Not Exist—Yet Does

Science fiction relates to casting images into the atmosphere. It appears impossible to send sounds straight into a person's mind.

The patents, nevertheless, are genuine.

Monast pointed to Voice-to-Skull (V2K) patents—technology capable of delivering sound straight to an individual's brain without the use of speakers. Granted initially in 1989, additional ones came after in 1992. Another innovation, patented in 1976, provided methods for remotely monitoring neuronal activity and causing changes in brainwaves.

A later patent described a radio-frequency hearing effect in 2002 that was supposedly employed throughout the Iraq War to transmit messages straight into soldiers' thoughts—without speakers or radios present. Imagine hearing the message, "God wants you to surrender," and having no idea where it came from.

This is not something of conjecture anymore. Recorded.

And if the tools to penetrate the mind are present, then the means to fool the eyes certainly also exist.

Coordinated Sightings—or Coordinated Technology?

NASA describes the heavenly entities as pareidolia—the innate propensity of people to identify familiar patterns in clouds—when asked about them. Many people confidently believe in established authorities and accept this justification without question.

Contextual geography, on the other hand, tells a different story.

Located right in one of the biggest drone coordination zones in Asia, Naga City is where the noteworthy observation happened in 2025. A few months before the incident, a significant UAV and lidar-laser mapping project was carried out exactly there.

An important testing ground for Project Maven, military artificial intelligence programs, and next generation drone technology advancement, Alabama—the place of the drawn-out sighting—is also crucial.

These locations are not chosen by chance.

They work as experimental sites.

Belief in Time of Deception

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism—the three main world faiths—forecast the ultimate advent of a Messiah. Islam especially warns against the Dajjal, a deceiver whose power will overwhelm the senses and distort reality. A world where lying rules over every sphere of life.

Check your surroundings carefully.

Deepfakes weave fantasy into reality. Voices produced by artificial intelligence can mimic the living as well as the deceased. Faster than real fixes may be created, incorrect information travels. Food, money, and digital identities too can assume false personas.

We are surrounded by illusions.

Should it therefore be seen as a signal from the divine when a brilliant and exactly timed for public viewing image materializes in the sky? Or as still another type of psychological control?

The Real Question: What Do We Choose to Believe?

Should Project Blue Beam exist, we are now living its first stages. We are seeing an even more strange event—people trusting clouds, screens, and pixels—if it does not already exist.

One thing is clear regardless:

The modern world has groomed us to see visual material as truth even when it has been man-made.

The danger comes not from technology alone. The danger resides in our susceptibility to modification, re-direction, or manipulation of our ideas.

Their goal is neither your money nor stuff.

Their interest is in your view—your ability to believe your perceptions, beliefs, and judgment.

In a reality where the sky may be constructed and a voice can enter your thoughts, the individual, not the society, bears the responsibility to recognize what is genuine.

Therefore, I'll depart with you this idea:

The most serious thing is to ask rather than to accept blindly in a period defined by deception.

To explore.

to reflect upon.

To stay conscious.

For the most terrible deception is not the image above.

It's the presumption that everything you see has to be real.
