PHOTOS: Hulk Hogan’s Image Appears in the Sky Over Clearwater After He’s Laid to Rest

Clearwater, FL — As the sun set over Florida skies yesterday, something extraordinary stopped locals in their tracks. Towering above the trees in the golden clouds, what appeared to be the unmistakable silhouette of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan took shape. Arms flexed, bandana-clad head held high, and in his iconic pose — it was as if the “Hulkster” himself had made one final appearance.

Earlier that day, the legendary wrestler, actor, and pop culture icon was laid to rest in Clearwater, the city he called home for much of his life. Fans gathered to pay tribute, but few could have expected what would unfold hours later in the heavens.

Photos snapped by stunned locals quickly made their way online, with comparisons emerging to one of Hogan’s most iconic poses — sunglasses, red bandana, yellow wrestling gear and all. When paired side-by-side with known images of the WWE Hall of Famer, the resemblance is uncanny. The cloud formation seems to mimic not just his physical frame, but his signature energy.

While some view it as a natural coincidence, others believe it’s something more — a celestial tribute to one of wrestling’s greatest legends. “It was like he was flexing one last time, just to let us know he’s still watching over the ring,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Whether a divine message or a perfect case of pareidolia — the human tendency to see familiar shapes in random patterns — the moment captured the hearts of Hogan fans worldwide.
