In a stunning revelation from 250 miles above Earth, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) reported spotting a UFO — or as it turns out, a very confused weather balloon that apparently moonlights as a cosmic disco ball.

Commander Buzz Stardust, who was on his third orbit around the Earth and first orbit around the concept of "space parties," described the sighting: "We saw this shiny, pulsating object and thought, ‘Aliens finally showing off their dance moves!’ Turns out, it was just Steve from Mission Control sending up a weather balloon with LED lights and a Bluetooth speaker. The playlist was strictly '70s funk."

Dr. Luna McGiggle, ISS’s resident skeptic and part-time stand-up comedian, added, "When I asked if the aliens had a dress code, Buzz said, ‘Apparently, it’s bell-bottoms and platform shoes.’ We even tried to invite the balloon to our Wednesday zero-gravity yoga session, but it drifted off saying it had a hot date with Jupiter."

NASA officials confirmed that while no extraterrestrials have RSVP’d to the ISS disco, the space station has now officially added disco balls to its inventory — just in case. Meanwhile, Steve from Mission Control is reportedly upset that his ‘party balloon’ is getting more attention than his last 500 weather reports.

In conclusion, while the universe might still be vast and mysterious, one thing is clear: even in space, you can’t escape a good old-fashioned misunderstanding fueled by funk music and colorful party decorations.
