Pittsburgh Puzzler: Unidentified Object Smashes Window of Downtown SkyscraperPittsburgh Puzzler: Unidentified Object Smashes Window of Downtown Skyscraper Downtown Pittsburgh was abuzz with activity on Thursday morning when an unidentified object crashed through the window of a 35-story skyscraper. The incident occurred around 8:30 AM at the U.S. Steel Tower, one of the city’s tallest buildings. Witnesses reported hearing a loud bang followed by a shower of shattered glass. Eyewitness accounts described the object as being “metallic” and “football-sized.” “It sounded like an explosion,” said Emily Jones, an employee in the building. “I looked out the window and saw glass everywhere. It was terrifying.” Firefighters and police responded to the scene quickly and cordoned off the area. The building was evacuated, and no injuries were reported. Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the damage. One theory is that a bird or a drone may have flown into the window. However, there have been no confirmed sightings of either. Another possibility is that the object was a piece of space debris. According to NASA, there are millions of pieces of debris orbiting Earth, and some of them can fall to the surface. “It’s possible, but it’s unlikely,” said Dr. Mark Jones, an astrophysicist at Carnegie Mellon University. “Space debris usually burns up in the atmosphere before it reaches the ground.” For now, the mystery of the unknown object remains unsolved. Investigators are continuing to review surveillance footage and conduct interviews in an attempt to determine what happened. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of glass skyscrapers. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile cases of objects crashing through windows of tall buildings. “We need to take a closer look at our building codes and make sure they’re up to date,” said Mayor Bill Peduto. “We can’t afford to have people injured or killed by falling objects.” The Pittsburgh Puzzler remains a mystery, but it has sparked a wider debate about the challenges and dangers of maintaining glass skyscrapers in an urban environment.
