So it's either a bunch of kids setting off fireworks which was mistaken for gunshots...

Which is backed up by a shit ton of evidence...

OR

It's 10 foot tall aliens because some idiot on social media thought they saw a blurry shadow walking around cop cars...

We may never know /s

I love the idea of an alien invasion in Miami and the first you hear of it is a bunch of gunfire as random citizens just declare war on the aliens within second.

“Oh my god what’s that??”

“It’s kinda shadowy”

“Open fire!”

Well... it is Florida and shadows are black...

There’s not one video I could find of any sort of fight or these fireworks. They lined the streets with dozens of cop cars. You gotta admit it’s a bit strange
