Is it an image of the cosmic power of a Mayan temple? Is it a Photoshop image designed to fool gullible viewers? Or is it a glitch in Hector Siliezar’s iPhone? Nobody is really certain.
Siliezar took the photo in 2009 in a series of three photos as he attempted to catch a lightning strike above the El Castillo pyramid in Chichen Itza. A thunderstorm was overhead and lightning was beginning to flash.
His first two photos show nothing out of the ordinary. When he took the third photo, the vertical beam of light from the pyramid’s apex was undetected by the naked eye. Everyone he immediately showed the photo was amazed. Of course the photo now is making the rounds of Mayan calendar sites.

This is bizarre! My first instinct is to claim it is a camera glitch but if that were so wouldn't it go all the way down the picture? Hmmmm... Is it a hoax? :-o
As far as camera/light glitches are concerned, I love catching them in photos, myself. I've had several such "angelic miracles". :)
