Neatorama reader Nick Schwartz sent us this intriguing account of an "angel" captured on a webcam from a scuba club in Cozumel, Mexico:
"One of my bookmarks is a scuba club in Cozumel - which I have never been, but I'm from Buffalo, NY and its nice to see something tropical once in a while. So point of all this being, I opened the app and saw what looks to be an angelic figure walking through the scuba club. I don't have any program to zoom in on this image but it's certainly something interesting. Some say angel. Some say a bunch of coincidences coming together at the moment I opened it. "
... and soon after, the "angel" was gone:
What do you think? Is it an angel or just Buzz Lightyear showing up for a little night dive? Thanks Nick!
Its a man (dressed in white) carrying two plastic tables and putting them on his head for stability. The tables are top-to-top with each of them having their legs outwards. Obviously club staff (hence the white overalls) clearing up tables for the night. He is moving towards the camera, and the low resolution shot blurs because of this.
Leave that credulous stuff to YouTube ghost sightings.
Love the blog, but this is not cool.
anyhow, (specifically @ Taluta) not all hoaxes have to be photoshoped. It could in fact be a person dressed weird on purpose, and got in front of the camera.
but in this case it seems bobbynotick was on the ball. :P
A little over 15 mins and 900 exposures the object is gone.
The ghost effect can easily be explained by night time over exposure in the light since he is moving.

In fact it's quite obvious a guy carrying tables just from the posted pic, just look at it close up, his shoes stand out too
And what's with all the bile spewed over this post? What if the image captured some guy walking on tip-toe, wearing black or red with something looking like horns sticking out his head? Spirituality is only ok to discuss if it's from the dark side?
second thought "its a guy moving a table"
third thought "there are some really dumb commenters here" [eric, karen, cluck]
If that's no angel...
What's this supposed to mean?

"Why did so many people get upset about this? Alex seemed to be joking and others simply pointed out what the photo actually is but I dont understand the outrage that some people had about an “angel”"
Because it's "Hip and Edgy" to be anti-religious on today's innertubes by spoiled secular libtards
perhaps if it was a pic of the Obamessiah they would be inclined to wax rhapsodic about the orgasms it induced
I support the theory that it is a man moving a table.
Did you notice the lights (on the right hand side) are on when the man is out but as soon as he has finished his job he goes in and switches off the lights.
Or were the lights left on for the Angel ?
