— Meanwhile - Earth - Mississippi —
On a calm, muddy stretch of the Mississippi River, a pontoon tour boat cruised across the gentle surface, serving tourists who were enjoying the scenery.
Today should have been like any other day, with tourists enjoying their scenic tour, but a churning patch of water changed that.
The churning started small before it quickly escalated into a violent whirlpool, and then...
Booooom! Splash!
An explosion rang out, accompanied by a massive splash of water as a pillar of light burst forth from the riverbed.
The tourists were startled and voiced their alarm. Some rushed to the opposite side of the boat, away from the anomaly, while others moved closer to get a better look.
Many took out their phones, trying to capture the strange phenomenon happening not far from their pontoon boat.
