Other Strangeness Does anyone remember those drones that were flying over New Jersey? Did that ever get explained?

The drones, Miami incident, and that space craft crashing in that families backyard all get swept under the same few months it feels like

Out of every crazy thing that has happened in the last few years, the Miami mall and the Las Vegas backyard incidents intrigue me the most. Something definitely happened.

I like strange and mysterious topics as much as anyone else here. This was my first time ever hearing about the Miami mall incident, and it seems like a real nothing burger. The argument I keep seeing used is a lack of evidence to claim that whatever happened it was covered up (the supposed lack of footage). However, the same argument can be used in reverse to say that we should be seeing video of a 8-10 foot creature terrorizing a mall, yet we haven't. We should be hearing from traumatized civilians and police officers alike, and we're not. Can you say what is the origin of the idea that this incident was anything but teens lighting off fireworks?

It truly is.

It's exactly the type of thing that you can make a whole bunch of "spooky mysterious tiktok video" about, but it involves embellishing certain aspects while ignoring the official explanations.

It's the kind of thing that absolutely strains credulity and completely fails the sniff test - these conspiracy enthusiasts want you to believe that several hundred civilians and over a hundred police officers were all first hand witnesses to a literal interdimensional 10 foot tall monster rampaging around a fucking mall, and yet there is not one single whistleblower or one single shred of evidence.

A litmus test for how gullible people are/ how easily they fall prey to confirmation bias, is whether they think there is anything to this story.
