On the 10th of February of this year, I saw something in the sky above my house that, originally, I was not going to mention but, now that I can see what is happening, I decided that it merited comment. Normally I ignore things of this nature since too many people "see" things that, when I look at what they see, I see nothing special. In most cases it is just that most people have led their lives ignoring their surroundings and only now that others are waking them up they begin to "see things" everywhere that they think are extraordinary but really are very ordinary. On the very odd occasion there is something truly unusual but such things are very rare. However, this is one of those rare occasions that I could not ignore.
Unfortunately, despite wishing I had photographs to document what I saw, I did not have any kind of camera with me at the time and had I gone to get one, by the time I had it ready, the event would have passed. So, I have to just tell you what I saw and let you decide for yourself whether or not you believe me. I documented it at the time so I have kept a good record (as is second nature due to my long engineering career). Just bear in mind that I am usually inherently skeptical with regards to attributing any meaning to this kind of thing because, as mentioned, most people making claims such as these make mountains out of non-existent mole-hills (YouTube is brimming with such madness). As an engineer with a very strongly scientific background, I tend to approach everything in a very logical and fact-driven manner.
Nevertheles, this was something distinctly unusual, rare, even difficult to believe despite seeing it with my own eyes. Here is the account of what happened.
I stepped outside into my back yard, looked up into the sky and saw three startling and well-defined clouds, together in a tight-knit group but of substantial size, that slowly came from the west. They virtually stopped overhead, above my house on the hill. There were a few other faint clouds nearby but plenty of blue sky in between and all around. Two of the group of three clouds were perfect images of eagle wings, left and right, perfectly placed relative to each other, with perfect symmetry and clearly depicted flight feathers, and in the space between the two wings was the clear image of the head of an eagle, both the head and the neck, but it was fading. The image of the eagle was oriented such that it appeared as if it was in flight towards the north east. Startled by what I saw, I watched as the head faded away within a few minutes.
After the head completely disappeared, the wings began to fade beginning at the shoulders and fading outwards, in perfect symmetry. They remained right where the wings should be but simply faded away, looking as if they were being gradually erased from the parts nearest the body towards the outer extremities until they had completely vanished.
I have never before seen such a sight in the clouds. One can sometimes make out the odd shaped face or animal or any such rough and approximate thing but generally they are poorly defined and at least some imagination, if not a lot, is needed. Not this time, however. I have never seen something so perfectly portrayed before in puffy white clouds and, for a moment, wondered if I would suddenly awaken. How could swirling winds create something with such perfect mirror symmetry?
This could not be chance. How can I ignore this and just write it off as "luck"? I do not believe in luck. Luck is for the ignorant and the godless.
An interpretation: The great eagle is divided, left from right, and the head is caught in the middle, but no union exists any longer. The new head will not last because the nation refuses to repent and there is no forgiveness, no coming together. The nation has been judged. In spite of the new head seeking to restore the nation to its former greatness, the factions within will continually derail all such efforts until anything the head says and does is ignored since, as a result of all the friction and widespread hatred for truth, all such efforts will achieve nothing. The head will fade into irrelevance and become as if it was not. Then, left and right will fade away, beginning at the centre and the parts closest to the head, finishing off with the far left and far right extremities with a great chasm between them, until nothing remains. The seeds of war and destruction sown by prior government and godlessness will soon produce a great harvest and nothing the new head does can stop it. Taking the nation will be a walk in the park for its enemies. Without God, there is no more unity and there is no more strength. The eagle will be overthrown just as it overthrew. All that remains is wind.
God will not be mocked. As the eagle has sown, so shall it reap.
You have been weighed in the balance and have been found wanting. Goodbye, great eagle, for it would appear that your time has come.

An article published sometime in the past day demonstrates just how far gone this all is:
We are Watching a Slow-Motion Coup D'etat
The great eagle is dead, the republic is long gone. All that remains is the distant echo of its liberty bell, fading like a flower in the scorching sun or a morning mist in the desert.
