In today’s fast paced world it is easy to know what is happening on the other end of the world. With social networks such as Youtube and Facebook, everything is just a click away. On one hand these platforms are beneficial, but on the other, they just provide a forum to spread something out of the ordinary. It takes only seconds to look at something and find out whether it is forged or genuine. Recently a video went viral of a black horse flying over the skies of Jeddah or Makkah (the city is unconfirmed), but it the location was confirmed in Saudi Arabia. It definitely sounds bizarre, but some people consider it worth believing.



Almost every workplace has shown or whatsapp-ed the 45 seconds video to their colleagues and are debating the topic. It stars a dark night with clouds and lightening in the background. In a short video clip a man is heard chanting “Allah o Akbar” and Kalima in awe, while the camera stays on the horse, which is apparently flying in the sky. Perhaps a fabricated apocalypse?



It has turned out to be a helium balloon shaped as a horse flying in the sky, but there are many who think that the horse was actually flying without wings with the help of its legs. As of matter of fact, apart from Arabs, people of different ethnicities have viewed it hundred and thousand of times in every corner of the world. Those who consider the video to be genuine can actually see the legs of horse moving. This makes one wonder- what will we do when the true and genuine signs of the Judgment day start becoming obvious?
