Just had co-workers telling us about this as if it was the strangest thing ever, that there were "shadow aliens". They said that there was a bunch of military and Homeland Security that showed up to it as well (haven't seen anything about that anywhere) and that they confiscated any video or phones that anybody had of it... but that all sounds pretty far-fetched in this day and age. Like, yea, I believe somewhere out there, aliens of some sort exist... but for them to just show up at a Miami mall of all places is kind of stretching it.

The only thing kind of weird is that there wasn't any video of the stuff going on inside. I don't doubt all those cops would've been called out based on what little information they may have had in the beginning, maybe all they got a report of was "explosions" in the mall and so obviously they think it's something else, but that nobody has a cell phone video of this 50-person brawl breaking out is strange in this day and age.
