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!”

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
