Strange cloud on Eichenwalde

https://i.imgur.com/gOjqrXD.jpg

Anyone else notice this? It’s at the zenith, you just look straight upwards and it’s there, a weird white glob with a brighter tiny dot at one end as if it were a spacex launch

If you slowly move mouse around, I swear you can see tiny specs like glitter in it, and I stared at it for a bit and kinda looks like it moves so slightly and wobbles

I’m a 3D artist and have made tons of skydomes over the years and this isn’t a UV texture issue where paint seeped onto another shell, otherwise there’d be a very hard and solid cutoff where the whiteness ends.

This was hand-painted in, whether by accident or purpose, but it’s pretty odd considering the rest of sky on map is basically entirely clear blue, why would this be here?

I tried scoping in as Widow, it largely disappears but still faintly visible

note - it’s not the sun either, there is already a sun in the sky (not pictured) and the lens glare when staring near the sun does not match up or come from this mystery cloud in question.

The hopium part of my brain hopes this is a “world event” like other games have done such as Fortnite or Final Fantasy 11, where things appear in the sky and slowly get bigger over time, signalling the coming of a special event or update when it fully arrives

lol it doesn’t look like a cloud, there’s a weird bright dot on one end as if the fuzzy stuff behind it is a comet trail

also very strange the entire rest of upper sky is clear blue except this one thing hidden until you look straight upwards

lol it looks more like smoke than a cloud its weird looking

It’s a bug with the skybox texture
it’s just where the texture wraps around and bleeds into itself
nothing special

I mean the Sombra circle code first appeared on Dorado in the sky, I don’t see why a cloud couldn’t be a precursor to something else.

Let @Cake have this.

@Blizzard world events, make it happen

Pretty sure Sky Code was actually nothing and Blizzard made it an emote/spray to tease the people who thought it was something.

It looks like an Amogus getting Thanos snapped.

How do I do a clean install on my brain?

Must be skycode for the next new character!

young zoomer yells at cloud

Sombra also has a rare pre-match line where she says like “They say you can see so many secrets if you just look up at the stars, I wonder what’s hidden up there”

Although like other person said, this could be Blizz poking fun at the ARG fans from old days studying the patterns on the moon
