MeteorologistΒ Isidro CanoΒ announced inΒ a Facebook postΒ that an orb made of βa very hard plastic or an alloy of various metalsβ showed up on the top of a tree just north of the city of Veracruz, Mexico, with witnesses saying they saw the orb βfalling from the sky,β making noise but with no fire, and Cano warned people to βnot touch or come near it,β adding βit may have radioactivity.β
It gets weirder. In a follow-up post, Cano said there was a βcodeβ on the outside of the orb, and on Monday he updated his followers again to tell them the βartifactβ had been removed and taken out of Mexico. His theory is that itβs space debris from the crash of a Chinese rocket.
