He took this photo only 21 km from home… and nobody ever understood what it was.

There are days when everyday life holds unexpected surprises. That’s exactly what Alfredo Lo Grossa experienced during a simple walk near his home. That day, as the sun was setting over the sea, he looked up and… stopped dead in his tracks. On the horizon, a luminous, almost human-like shape seemed to float in the golden sky. Intrigued, he took out his camera and captured the scene. A few hours later, the image spread across social media. In an instant, it went viral. Between wonder, curiosity, and passionate debate, everyone had their own interpretation.

A phenomenon that touches the hearts of internet users

Comments poured in under Alfredo’s post. For some, the silhouette evoked a benevolent, almost reassuring presence, like a light watching over him from afar. Others saw it as a subtle reminder: to  slow down and appreciate the beauty of the world , to find a little serenity in a daily life that is often too fast-paced.

The more rational among us speak of aligned clouds, a simple reflection of the sun on the water, or a perfectly orchestrated coincidence. But one thing is certain: whatever the explanation, the magic is undeniable. The image continues to captivate, precisely because it retains its air of mystery.
