Jackson, Mississippi: City Denies Rumors of Alien InvasionJackson, Mississippi: City Denies Rumors of Alien Invasion Jackson, Mississippi – City officials have vehemently denied rumors circulating on social media that an alien invasion is underway in the capital city. “These baseless claims are simply not true,” Mayor Chokwe A.

They have also encouraged residents to report any suspicious activity to local authorities. “We understand that these types of rumors can be unsettling,” Mayor Lumumba said. “But we want to assure everyone that we are taking every necessary step to ensure the safety and security of our city.”
