The combination of clouds and light created an image that appeared — to some — to look like the King of Pop. The image was captured over Goochland County, Va., during a June 23 lightning storm. Jackson died on June 25, 2009.mj3-Heavenly? Storm Chasers See Michael Jackson Moonwalking In The Clouds

Photographer John Plashal said he was unaware of the Jackson imagery when he first submitted photos to the WTVR CBS 6 Facebook page after the storm. He said a storm chaser app, not a higher calling, compelled him to set up his camera outside Satterwhite’s Restaurant in Goochland where took several photos of the lightning storm.

“The image that you see of Michael Jackson just happens to be there,” Plashal said.

He insisted he added nothing to the photo.

“It’s pretty wild,” he said.

Plashal, 45, said he was a fan of Michael Jackson and said he particularly recalled how the music video for Thriller changed MTV. He also said Jackson’s death six years ago was one of those “I know where I was” moments.

“I was at the pool with friends. My friend got a text that Michael Jackson had just died,” Plashal said. “He was an icon.”

Plashal said his 17-year-old daughter Caroline is also a Jackson fan and would be thrilled to know her father’s photo has caused such a stir.[/su_quote]
