Severe weather can get pretty crazy in midwestern summers, but no matter how hard it rains, having giant metal spheres fall from the sky is unlikely. Or, one would think. But that's what happened this week in one Indianapolis neighborhood.
That definitely looks familiar…
Despite its bizarre appearance, the huge ball was not a miniature Death Star and was later identified as a "radome," which is a cover used to protect antennas and radar equipment from inclement weather.
Here's more on the unusual incident from The New York Post:
An employee with V2X, an aerospace and defense company with a location in Indianapolis roughly one mile away from the street now dented by the dome, told CBS4 Thursday that the radome was theirs.
The employee, though, said that the company is also perplexed and has no idea how the radome blew all that way.
'I think it probably got turned over and caught in the wind and unfortunately, it flew away. We're really thankful no one got hurt or anything. No one got injured. But that's what it is, I can confirm it's not an alien satellite or an alien spaceship,' Andrew Belush, a V2X site executive, told the outlet.
Too bad.
With everything else going on in the world right now, this seems like the perfect time for the spaceships to start falling out of the sky.
