What does the above image look like to you? To me, it looks like a random blob on a poorly made cheap balloon. But to a bunch of Texans, this blob apparently looks like the Virgin Mary:
Javier Fuentes, a salesman a Payne Weslaco Motors, says he was out to sell new cars Tuesday morning until his day “blew up” into something else.
“Everybody was blowing some balloons and we noticed that this image came from the balloon,” said Fuentes. “And everybody was agreeing that it looked like the Virgin Mary.”
On closer inspection, Fuentes says he noted that the image was more than just a possible defect on a balloon.
“That’s what I thought in the beginning and I tried to erase it and I couldn’t. I even tried to put some saliva on it and it didn’t go away.”
And some of his co-workers at the dealership say they were moved to tears after seeing the image.
Obviously I’m a skeptic. But, I’ve seen far more convincing apparitions. This? It’s a blob. Quit yer cryin’, pop the balloon, and move on, folks.
