Amazing Photo Captures T-Rex Lightning Bolt

We're shocked.
U.S. Dept. of Interior

Welcome to Jurassic spark.

The U.S. Department of the Interior recently posted a photo on Facebook of a lightning bolt that looks amazingly like the head of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The bizarrely-shaped lightning bolt struck Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park near a formation called Blue Mesa, according to the post.

One viewer claimed the bolt looked more like a cougar stalking its prey, while others saw a snake, monster film icon Godzilla, and even the front half of a bear diving downward, according to CNet.com.

Another, who goes by “tfknjames,” claimed the image looked more like a male sex organ “that’s reached its climax,” according to the Metro.

The British paper also claimed the photo was “the most distressing thing to appear in the heavens since a cloud that resembled Margaret Thatcher.”

The photo was posted just this week, but was taken by park ranger Hallie Larsen back in July, 2013, according to FoxNews.com.
