Some stories drift into the public consciousness the way a slow-moving cloud crosses an evening sky—quiet, unexpected, and impossible to ignore. In early November 2025, such a moment unfolded above Anaheim, capturing attention from commuters, theme park fans, and local news outlets alike. Every so often, Southern California produces an oddity that seems tailor-made for viral mystery: bright lights mistaken for UFOs, strange sounds rumbling through the night, or unusual shapes hovering in the air long enough for someone to pull out a smartphone and hit record. These moments ignite collective curiosity, blurring the line between the explainable and the extraordinary.

It appeared just as commuters were starting their day, a dark halo suspended in the pale morning sky. Anyone unfamiliar with the phenomenon might easily leap to dramatic conclusions. And many did. Before the explanation surfaced, speculation spread like wildfire: Was it smoke? A natural occurrence? A stunt for a film? Or, as the internet loves to suggest at every opportunity, something extraterrestrial? Local news stations immediately seized upon the strange visual, with KTLA leading the charge. Their coverage sparked discussion, debate, amusement, and ultimately a satisfying moment of revelation. But the journey from mystery to explanation—complete with eyewitness testimony, social media sleuthing, and an official update

During the summer, a behind-the-scenes video for the upcoming first-person action-adventure video game “Jurassic Park: Survival” revealed how Saber Interactive and Universal are bringing Isla Nublar back to life. However, while the video showcases many aspects of the game, from dinosaur models to the environments on offer, it seems one major detail was hiding in plain sight this whole time. In the featurette, developers and Universal execs walk viewers through their painstaking re-creation of the island from the iconic 1993 film, admitting that they’ve been relying on film archives, production stills, and blueprints to ensure “every prop is in the same place.” Players will explore a “fully realised Isla Nublar,” moving through familiar locations like the Visitor Center, but also discovering previously unseen structures such as a hotel for guests. The game puts you in the shoes of Dr. Maya Joshi, played by Payal Mistry, an InGen scientist who was unable to evacuate the island. In the video, Mistry describes Maya as “incredibly passionate and adventurous … she takes risks, she steps outside of her comfort zone.” The gameplay blends first-person stealth and action, forcing players to use distractions, ingenuity, and their environment to survive encounters with dinosaurs.
