Title: What Really Happened That Night?
Last Monday night, people in the town of Clearwater reported a loud noise and flashing lights. It happened just after 11:00 p.m. Many people went outside to look, but they couldn’t see anything in the sky.
The local news station got over 100 calls. Witnesses said it was "too fast" and "too bright" to be a normal plane. Scientists are now investigating, but they can’t understand what really happened.
There was no storm, no plane, and no fire. Some people think it was a meteor. Others say it might have been a technical problem or an experiment.
The truth is still unknown, but the investigation continues. Maybe one day, we will understand.
