Farmers in Colombia’s Tolima provence were freaked out by a UFO that crashed in a field on Sunday. “It was smoking and a strange liquid was leaking it,” said one resident.
Police eventually identified the wreckage as an Internet balloon from X, Alphabet (Google)’s R&D company. X’s Project Loon is “designed to extend Internet connectivity to people in rural and remote areas worldwide.”
“We all thought it was a UFO or the remains of a space craft,” locals were quoted as saying in El Tiempo newspaper.
