On August 10th, 2024, a most unusual event occurred in the small town of Beaver, Oklahoma. It was a humid summer morning around 9:50 AM when local resident Josiah Swanson noticed something peculiar outside his kitchen window. Floating just above his backyard was a perfectly spherical object, approximately three feet in diameter, emitting a soft pulsing glow.

Rather than dismissing it as a trick of the light or overactive imagination, Mr. Swanson's curiosity got the better of him. Grabbing his digital camera, he cautiously approached the mysterious orb for a better look. Much to his surprise, the object remained stationary, almost as if awaiting inspection. After snapping several photos, Mr. Swanson summoned the courage to gently poke the surface with his finger. To his great astonishment, his digit passed clean through as if probing thin air.

Word of Mr. Swanson's discovery quickly spread throughout Beaver via social media. Within the hour, nearly the entire town had congregated in his backyard gawking at the bizarre anomaly. Scientists from the local university were summoned and performed tests on the orb using high-tech equipment, but found its composition and origin utterly baffled explanation. Just when hysteria in Beaver reached fever pitch, the pulsating glow abruptly faded and the orb vanished, leaving no trace that it had even existed. To this day, the matter remains an unsolved mystery among UFO enthusiasts around the globe. Some speculate it may not have been the first, nor will it be the last, strangely shining sphere to hover above quiet Beaver, Oklahoma.
