Lamppost Sighting in Downtown Houston

There have been reports of a lamppost appearing in downtown Houston. Witnesses say that they saw a tall thin metal object with some form of light-emitting apparatus at the upper end. The police are investigating this sighting, and we fully expect that more information will surface shortly. If you see any other lampposts, do not engage them. They are dangerous. Instead, back slowly away and call 911. If possible, take a picture for identification purposes. Any further developments will be reported.
