Is there one in particular that strikes you as clear evidence of the hand of god in action?

Isolated incidents like this are also confusing.  Why does god cause the sky to go a bit nuts on one afternoon so many years ago and then go back to even more obscure stuff like scuff marks on appliances or clouds shaped like angels or miracles that are indistinguishable from coincidence?

Here's one of the photographs. I've looked through all that I could find, but they're all similar in nature

Now, what's the fuzz about that? What am I supposed to look at to get the presence of god? Not to mention that there was something going on at the same time, just a stretch to the Northeast, that would have made divine intervention a little more credible.

It's the year 1917 after all and the middle of a peaceful nowhere seems like a curious choice to make an appearance. But I guess, HE works in mysterious ways, isn't it?
