UFO Spotted Near Halfway Park

Dramatic reenactment of the flying saucer. Not a real photo. 

HAGERSTOWN, MD - Today social media was abuzz as Halfway residents saw what appeared to be a flying saucer briefly hover near Halfway Park, then vanish into the clouds.

"It was really spooky," said a resident who wished to remain anonymous, "it hovered there for about thirty seconds, then took off straight up into the sky! I swear I'm never drinking before 4 PM again!"

When asked for comment, the City of Hagerstown initially refused comment, but then responded that the flying saucer was actually fireworks. "There was no flying saucer over Hagerstown. The Hagerstown Airport verified there was nothing on radar during the time of the supposed sighting. This was most likely the result of fireworks igniting swamp gas."

Any residents who may have captured photos or video of the incident are encouraged to post them on The Hagerstown Report Facebook page.
