Huh..Never thought about it that way.

Although, I'm still going to go with the more of the "hinting that the change that is about to come" scenario. Him looking into the sky and seeing a slightly different world screams "THAT THING IN THE SKY IS GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD!" (To me, at least)

Although, a parallel world would be just as viable.. But due to the interviews and such, I would lean towards the latter opinion.
