A viral video shows what appears to be a horse flying in the sky over Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In the (very poor quality) footage, we see flashes of lightning illuminate a dark sky, intermittently revealing the flying horse, as we hear a man excitedly speaking in what sounds like Arabic, apparently reciting verses from the Koran.
The origin of the footage is unknown. However, it's path to viral fame began on November 24, 2014 when it was uploaded to Facebook by a Filipino woman named
Angel Louise Dela Cruz. She did not claim to have taken the video, nor did she say where she found it. Several days later it was uploaded to YouTube by others, where it was titled "Flying Black Horse in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia," or sometimes "Flying Horse Seen in Makkah." It has been viewed over one million times on YouTube.
What exactly is the creature in the sky? One popular theory is that it's the Buraq, a legendary horse that transported the prophet Muhammad.
From Wikipedia:
The most commonly told story is how in the 7th century, Al-Buraq carried the Islamic prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem and back during the Isra and Mi'raj or "Night Journey", which is the title of one of the chapters (sura), Al-Isra, of the Quran.
However, one problem with this theory is that the Buraq has wings, which the creature in the video does not have.
Another theory places the horse within Christian eschatology, arguing that it's the black horse prophesied in the Book of Revelation. The
Philippine News explains:
Some Christian believers even quoted from a passage in the Book of Revelation at Chapter 6:5-8 which reads: "And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand." According to some Bible scholars, in the Bible's Book of Revelation, the black horse represented famine. The black horse which was seen descending from the sky amidst clouds and thunderstorms was linked by some netizens to the black horse of the "Revelation."
But finally, more skeptical viewers quickly pointed out that the object in the sky is probably just a horse-shaped, helium-filled balloon. Such balloons are apparently sold in a shop in Jeddah. An image (below) that promotes this debunking theory has recently been circulating on Facebook.
Assuming that the balloon theory is correct, the video does not appear to be a deliberate hoax, but rather a case of people interpreting unexplained footage in fanciful ways.
Back in August 1937, there was
a deliberate hoax involving a balloon creature, when residents of Nantucket reported sighting a giant sea monster swimming in the ocean. The monster turned out to be an inflatable balloon created for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and was floated offshore as a publicity stunt.

Jesus is surely coming
As for the horse legs moving about, this horse is being tossed about by wind and rain on a poor quality video, it's likely you will see anything you want to see on such a video. Personally, this horse legs did not appear to be moving to me. I believe what Christians need to be focusing on is to study their bibles more (it is clearly needed) so they know the real signs of the time so they won't be distracted by flying baloons and be prepared and on guard for the return of Christ at all time, not just when weird video pops up n the internet.
God bless 😊
On the day of judgment we will ask Him whether the horse was true horse or just a balloon..
In the meantime,Let you know That there is no other name on earth,in heaven and the sea below by which humanity must be Saved apart from the name of Jesus Christ,the Sun of the living God....He is inescapable,Because if you try to dodge Him on earth, you will still meet Him in the Eternity.
this horse is real because it was moving in one direction,legs were continuous moving & heads were also moving. I telling u all that this was burrahk & it was same as the flying horse seen in movie clash of the titans. but the flying horse seen in mecca was not having wings. We can also say that this warning for all of us that kayaamat ( world end) is near. daily earthquakes are coming in Nepal,india, & many other countries. so be alert. this is just a message for all humans and mutants.
