Witnesses tweet UFO photos during Canadian baseball game (Video)

A UFO was spotted at a Canadian minor league baseball game, and a couple of people at the game tweeted photos of the object. One of the teams scored four runs about the time of the sighting, causing some to speculate it was “cosmic intervention.”

The game was at the Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium in Vancouver. The Vancouver Canadians played the Everett AquaSox. In the sixth inning a shiny blue object was spotted over the right field fence. The Canadians scored four runs in that inning, and went on to win the game 5-1.

Tweeters began using the hashtag #luckyUFO, and even the Vancouver Canadians tweeted about the UFO.

At least two baseball fans tweeted pictures of the object. One tweeter says he saw the object hovering and moving up and down before it disappeared.

Local newspapers had fun with the sighting. The Vancouver Sun called the UFO “cosmic intervention” in the Canadians’ favor. The Province newspaper’s headline read “Nothing like a UFO to help out.”

The Province speculates that the object could have possibly been a kite or a remote controlled helicopter, but calls the pictures tweeted by the witnesses “eerie.” No one has come up with a definitive answer as to what the mysterious object might have been, but when it comes to sports superstitions, I am sure the Canadians are hoping it shows up again tonight in the second of their three game division playoffs with the AquaSox.
