"then how do you explain this?"

Not all that difficult to do.

Sight is a CREATIVE process, and not any kind of absolute
perception that is the same to everybody. This is readily demonstrated in hypnotism when people "see" whatever it is suggested they see. What people see is conditioned by their
expectation and belief.

Thus, some people will experience this sight as "Jesus", other people as nothing at all, or a tree, bark, whatever.
A devout Muslim might experience the same sight as a vision
of Mohammed! But maybe culturally the inclination of such people would be to see Mohammed in clouds or at oases.

Namaste!
