Over the past week, numerous reports have been made of strange, glowing orbs or beams of light appearing in various locations around the city. Witnesses describe the lights as ranging in size and color, from brilliant white to eerie green. “I was walking my dog in Salem Common when I saw this huge, glowing ball hovering just above the trees,” said local resident Emily Carter. “It was like nothing I’d ever seen before.” Another witness, Johnathan Smith, claims to have spotted a beam of light shooting down from the sky near the Salem Maritime National Historic Site. “It was like a giant laser beam,” he said. “It was so intense that it lit up the whole area.” Authorities have investigated some of the reports but have been unable to determine the source of the lights.
