I don't see anything, and I think videos like this are a distraction from important spiritual work. I do like the song, but it's a shame it is attached to this type of video. It really does remind me of when I was Catholic, and used to be embarrassed by videos of Hispanic Catholics who saw "la virgen" in tortillas or oil spills on a freeway overpass. I believe in visions and miracles that are authenticated by the Church like St. Mary's appearance at Zeitoun, but this...I dunno...it's a cloud...and it's not even a terribly clear image! :-\

if u look at part 0:16 u can see the cross in the lightened part of the cloud. I also learned now not to pay too much attention to it, cause it's not that important for ur salvation. U don't have necessarily pay much attention to it if u dont feel for it, just thought i'd share it :)

I wish I could be humble like that..
