Witnesses reported seeing a large, glowing object in the shape of a sphere, approximately the size of a basketball. It emitted a faint, ethereal light and seemed to float effortlessly above the skyline. “It was just there, all of a sudden,” said one resident, Sarah Johnson. “I couldn’t believe my eyes.” Another resident, Peter Jackson, described the orb as “translucent and shimmering.” “It didn’t move much, just kind of hovered there,” he said. “It was like something out of a science fiction movie.” The sighting lasted for several minutes before the orb gradually faded away, leaving no trace behind. Authorities have been unable to identify the object and have launched an investigation.

Some have even suggested it could be a hoax. “I’m not sure what it is,” said Mayor Frank Cownie. “But it’s certainly captured the attention of the city. We’ll continue to work with authorities to try to figure out what we saw.” The orb has become a local sensation, with social media abuzz with speculation and photos. Citizens are urged to report any further sightings to the police or local authorities.
