The New Year had barely begun when Arizona-based Richard Christianson posted this photo on Facebook, and asked his friends for advice on what the heck it is:
The photo appears to be looking down a street at night, and leering on somebody’s front yard appears to a tall figure with wings.
So, what the hell is it?
This mystery has stirred up quite a bit of fuss on the internet:
Man in Arizona captures these images that are going viral. Some say it's a demon, others say an angel. What do you think? @cleveland19news pic.twitter.com/4Q7PUI4QeU

Is it an angel, or a demon?

Or wait, maybe there is a simpler explanation???
@Rivo_FPS @cleveland19news how about it's a fucking palm tree 😂

Maybe people on the internet have claimed that the object looks like a single Issa tree — or perhaps two trees blowing in the wind.
Not everyone is convinced though.
What do you think? Can this creepy-ass photo be dismissed as a tree, or is it something else?
Christianson has since deleted the photo, making some believe it was staged. Perhaps he just didn’t want the media attention, though?
