Residents of a quiet suburban neighborhood were stunned yesterday when an unidentified creature plummeted from the sky and landed in a backyard swimming pool.
The incident occurred at approximately 4:17 PM when homeowner, Sarah Miller, was relaxing by her pool. “I heard this strange whirring sound, like something flapping. Then, out of nowhere, this… thing just fell from the sky and splashed into the water,” Miller recounted, visibly shaken. “I screamed, I didn’t know what it was!”
The creature, described as being approximately the size of a small cat with large, luminous eyes and membranous wings, struggled to stay afloat in the pool.
Animal control officers were called to the scene and were able to safely remove the creature. It is currently being held at an undisclosed location, where experts are attempting to identify the animal.
“We have never seen anything like this before,” stated Dr. Emily Carter, a lead biologist from the local university. “Its anatomical features don’t match any known species in this region, or frankly, any species I’m familiar with.”
Speculation is rampant throughout the community. Theories range from a misidentified native animal to an escaped exotic pet. Some residents have even suggested extraterrestrial origins.
