I’ve seen a lot of conflicting accounts about the incident at the Florida mall where a massive police presence showed up (videos showed what looked like a city-level response). The official explanation says it was related to fireworks / disturbances, but a lot of people online say the response felt disproportionate, and details seemed to change or get clarified after the fact. I’m not trying to push a theory — I’m genuinely asking: What do we know for sure from verified sources, eyewitnesses, or local reporting? Was the scale of the police response typical for that kind of incident, or was something unusual about it? If anyone has firsthand experience, local context, timelines, or credible breakdowns (media, police statements, scanner logs, etc.), I’d appreciate it. Just trying to separate rumor from fact.

  • Nothing. And you will never know btw. Because they are so powerful that even tho it happened Infront of hundreds of eyes still no info.

    Think of that, what kind of power is that huh?

  • 8 feet tall shadowly aliens.

    They didn’t give up on it, it was just a test

    100% field test psyops, another recipe out of the MK ultra cookbook blown through the ventilation system with a sprinkle of holographic technology. Watered down project blue beam. All palmed off on a YouTube prankster for the dash of misdirection needed for it to be a savory dish of bullshit served up fresh to the public. Bon appetit.

  • I saw the videos of the aliens remember it was all over TikTok then GONE

    What did they look like ?

  • There were 8' shadow / smoke monsters coming into the mall through a portal from another dimension.. Some of the brave teens tried to hold them off with fireworks so that people could escape.

    I don't get how there was every cop in Florida there and literally nothing came out of it. Who was that eyewitness that disappeared?

    That’s crazy. I’ve heard both sides of the stories but this these two stories intertwine and somewhat makes sense. What are smoke monsters?

    Mantis beings with some form of active optical camouflage.

    They're making a stranger things 3 reference.

  • So I’ve heard a couple different things living in the area, first of all I guess there were some major big threats and issues just previously so they sent an exaggerated response this time to fireworks or something that sounded like gunshots.

    The conspiracy word on the street so to speak was that somebody opened something that looked like an old disc player and two aliens popped out of it and then fairly quickly looked around kind of seemed to confused and jumped back in.

    Someone did some research and found that that mall was like maybe opposite of Antarctica on the planet and maybe they accidentally swapped the coordinates lol? I have no idea I’m just repeating what I read on here and Miami forums Throughout the years.

    Coordinates in Antarctica and for the Miami mall are the reverse of one another from memory.

    How would a city that isn’t far from the equator be in line with Antarctica or am I dumb

  • Stranger Things Season 3

  • Aliens from some portal I also remember reading then gone again.

  • Don't take "credible sources" seriously, there were "eye witnesses" but they weren't there and only talk if paid, meaning they are clout farming. so in reality we will never truly know, all the info has been tainted.

  • Shady shit for sure

  • A dramatic over response to justify a bloated budget in a part of the country where people actually like and vote for over policing.

    Love this response. Ask a first responder to justify their budget and well.. you're effed if we don't show up when you need us. All paranoia. I'd actually love to see a well argued budget.

  • I have no sources but what I read a while ago was that someone was setting off fireworks and it got called in as a mass shooting

  • I believe in false flags but dude they let off fireworks INSIDE THE BUILDING. You hear bangs - AHHHHH! Some see lizard people in the still frames of any recording / people disturbed by existence itself. Sad. These are not the people with the cool iceberg theories - that would be the schizotypal, solid difference, probably William Blake was one 🥹 know your crackpots jeez!

  • I honestly think they just wanted to prove they can get a bunch of dumbass cops together for no reason whatsoever.

  • Was this yesterday in WPB? around 3PM EST?

  • I believe they were supposed to be sent to Antarctica through a portal their were people their saying a portal opened inside a clothing store where they appeared and then later high ranking military soldiers also appeared through the portal and got them all back together and disappeared reason I say is the coordinates for the mall in that store reversed are the coordinates to belgrano II a base in Antarctica. I mean it’s not that far off that military got confused and set coordinate backwards and the coincidence that it’s Antarctica where we all know stuff is being hidden idk just theories but based on people saying they saw a portal open and soldiers walk out to gain access of the creatures it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a fuck up on military part

    The fact the coordinates mirrored like that is definitely a bit of information that seems relevant and not a coincidence.

  • Someone wearing a hoodie/robe placed some sort of box on the ground and walked away. A few moneys later the box started smoking and that caught people’s attention. A few more moneys and some sort of “mist” started pouring out of the box followed by massive shadow beings and that’s when people run away.

    The police response was over 100 police vehicles, a chopper, a secure area of a few square blocks in which no one enter and people could leave after having their phones searched.

    Think about this, in the most ghetto ass mall you know, how many security cameras do they have? How many y rent a cops do they employ? that mall Is one of the most exclusive malls in Miami with TONS of cameras and rent a cops because it could be a target for a terrorist attack, and no one have video of it? I’d LOVE to hear from the people who work for security in the mall during that event and hear what happened from them.

    If it was fireworks, the video footage would be released and that’d be it.

  • It is something like Miami Mall: 80.1868W, 25.778N and near an Antarctic base is: 80.1868S, 25.778W. So essentially the North and South coordinate was mixed up. Great conspiracy I saw ages ago and I’m sure that checked out when I searched the numbers ! I’m in Australia, love reading into the Miami mall stuff

  • I talked to ChatGPT about this for a very long time and we evaluated all possibilities given the enormous police presence, no single cell phone footage or inside mall footage/surrounding area footage, and the 1st hand witness accounts of portals/interdimensional beings....we ultimately came to the conclusion that it was advanced technology/hologram tech/space bending tech (i.e. ultra top secret US military programs) being tested on the public and subsequently orders given to media to not report the story beyond that night. Police told it was kids with fireworks end of story and that's what media reports.

    ... You're talking to the corporate run personalized insta-psyop machine? Don't offload your capacity to think and ability to learn to these companies. Don't let them segregate you from others and your own humanity.

    We? Dude. Please stop talking to chatgpt

    LLMs can be legitimately useful but some people clearly have very unhealthy relationships with it.

    They sound crazy saying “we” but tbh this conclusion is pretty spot on to what it has the highest chances of being..

    yes, odds are higher its interdimensinal aliens coming from a portal rather than an over response to teens causing chaos. fucking ground yourself, think about what youre saying.

    Not actual aliens coming thru a portal.. but some type of tech/hologram to “test the waters” on the masses. Next time try reading and comprehending, & then think about what you’re saying.

    Don’t think all the downvotes were warranted, but there is a right and wrong way to go about digging with AI , the problem usually comes down to the references and the sources it is pulling from. So if I were doing research on something I wouldn’t come right out and ask the thing I would have an entire hypothesis first and then go drilling for historical references to see where the hypothesis goes.
