A cross-shaped aurora appeared in the Alaskan night sky around 10 p.m. (Japan time) on Nov. 27, according to a website that relays live streams of aurora on the Internet.

"I have never seen anything like this during my 40 years of research," said Yosuke Kamide, the director of the Rikubetsu Uchu Chikyu Kagakukan (Rikubetsu museum of space and earth sciences) in Hokkaido.

...A north-south aurora coincided with a curtain-like aurora spreading from east to west and disappeared in about 30 minutes, Kamide said

At first blush reading the headline and looking at the photo I thought the headline was religiously inspired. After reading the text, however I don't think that is the case. Given the low number of Christians in Japan it seems more likely a slight lapse in the translator's skills.
