The Night The Pope Died

I was working a graveyard shift that night, unfortunately I was working alone. By that time, the world had received news of the Pope's passing. I went outside for some fresh air, the sky was clear, I could even see stars. I turned in an NE direction and there in the sky, I saw a cloud in the shape of a cross. I looked everywhere else in the sky, there were no clouds except for that particular one shaped like a cross. The cross shape was so obvious, it was hard to not think that it could be one of those random cloud shapes. I even remember seeing a few stars twinkling right next to that cloud. I went inside because I was so scared, I came out a few more times the rest of the night, that cloud was there, it did not move at all, I did not see any other clouds the rest of the night except for that one. I do not remember exactly what direction it pointed to but I remember, I was facing a North Eastern direction when I saw it. It was not a thick cloud, but the night was bright and clear. I remember being so terrified to take a picture because it just seemed like something so holy, I was scared to do anything. By the time morning came, that cloud was gone, but it's something I will never forget as long as I live. I never did take a picture of it and have always wondered did anybody else see anything unusual that night too in the sky?
