In an unprecedented meteorological event, a series of massive, verdant islands have been observed hovering thousands of feet above the Pacific Ocean. Early reports from research vessels confirm the presence of unique flora and fauna previously unknown to science. The islands appear to be self-sustaining, exhibiting no visible means of propulsion or support.
Scientists are scrambling to understand the phenomenon, with initial theories ranging from undiscovered atmospheric phenomena to advanced, unacknowledged technology. Several international space agencies are redirecting satellite resources to study the “sky-islands” in greater detail. Public reaction has been a mixture of awe and apprehension as the implications of this discovery begin to unfold.
