Shocking scenes unfolded across the globe today as an unidentified gas – which had wreathed the planet for over six hours – mysteriously ignited.

The rest of Earth’s atmosphere was not affected by the explosion, leaving leading scientists baffled.

Once more, government experts have declined to comment on both the origin of the gas and the remarkable events it triggered. This has led to criticism from the general public, many of whom remember the unsolved mystery of the ‘Toclafane’, who murdered our own President only six months ago, before disappearing as suddenly as they arrived.

“It has to be aliens!” exclaimed one irate protester, who has kept a vigil outside the White House since the gas first appeared, “Who else has the power to do something like this? Maybe they’re paving the way for an invasion!”

The phantom pregnancies - which have affected over 60% of the female population of Franklin County over the last three days – were finally cured this afternoon.

Leading officials have attributed the condition to sewage contamination within the local water supply, claiming that the adverse reaction was the result of a reaction between the chemicals in the waste and unusual hormone concentrations within the women.

Tablets to treat the condition are now available from all medical centres in the Franklin County area. The ‘pregnancy’ should disappear approximately six hours are treatment. If the condition persists, or adverse side effects are experienced, authorities urge you to report to the nearest hospital.

An unidentified smog has begun to accumulate in the atmosphere of the Earth. The gas – which is made up of a highly unusual and previously unseen mix of compounds – is baffling experts.

This event follows on the heels of an outbreak of unexplained phantom pregnancies across the globe, with many sufferers located here in Georgia. The government have neglected to comment on a possible connection between the two events.

Although experts have been unable to locate the source of the gas, they are insisting that the components are non-toxic.

The first deaths – caused by asphyxiation – have occurred in densely populated city areas, including Hong Kong and LA, and the release shows no sign of slowing.

Franklin County, Georgia, has been hit by a spate of phantom pregnancies.

The symptoms consist of swollen stomachs and elevated hormone levels, consistent with the nine month of pregnancy.

Women of all ages have been effected by this phenomena and, although public officials have neglected to comment on the cause of the outbreak, they maintain that it is an isolated incident. No cases have been reported outside of Georgia.

Health officials have assured sufferers that the condition is not dangerous. Although it is uncomfortable, sufferers are encouraged to remain calm and stay at home while local doctors work on a treatment.

Due to the recent snow storm and the current rain there are flash flood warnings for Franklin County Georgia. Local forcasters have estimated that the threat should pass by the end of the weekend.

Authorties suggest you travel with caution and avoid any high rising water. If in doubt, remain inside.

A freak snowstorm blanketed Franklin county Tuesday Morning, 3 inches falling in the first hour. It seemed to slow as the morning progressed, but that didn't stop schools from closing and classes from being cancelled that the local university.



Residents made jokes of how the sudden, out of place storm was merely an elaborate April Fools joke. As the day wore on however, the jokes seemed to fade and even one resident was quoted as saying "It's a joke on humanity from the gods!"

Despite the fact that a Georgia county has been brought to its knees, some businesses have made the best of the situation. The Dragonfly Inn for example is providing horse drawn carriage rides through town for anyone who wishes to take part, as well as offering other snow-centric events for adults and children alike to enjoy.





County officials do wish to warn residents that though the snow is pretty to look at it does have its own dangers, and they urge residents to be careful if they feel they must go out for any reason.
