Technically, there is no place called “Sunset Mountain”, although there is an area called “Sunset” just to the east of Sunset Peak.  Rattlesnake Mesa was also where William Branham returned to in 1964, after which he told of a blast that prophesied judgment for the West Coast.  The cloud appeared north of Flagstaff, around 200 miles away from Sunset Peak.

In the sermon “Shalom” (January 19, 1964), William Branham said that the picture of a large, mysterious cloud in the May 1963 issue of Life magazine caught the Angels’ flight (or evidence of the angel’s flight) on camera.  This statement does not seem to agree with the facts as:
*The Angels appeared to William Branham in the morning time. 
*The cloud appeared over Flagstaff in the evening time.
*Life magazine reported that the cloud appeared just north of Flagstaff (but was visible as far as Mexico) on the evening of February 28, 1963. 
*William Branham went hunting after March 4th, 1963.


Another interesting fact is that there was not just one cloud, but two.  The second cloud is noted in the Life Magazine, and appears in a smaller photograph off to the north-west.
