Almost 100%, Em and I just saw a UFO drop straight out of the sky on our way home from dinner… we stopped and looked at each other and asked if either of us saw it… Very bright ball of light going straight down out of the sky towards Lake Travis. Anybody else witness this?

Once again, Mayfield has made headlines for unconventional reasons. The 25-year-old took to Twitter on Wednesday night to report a potential UFO sighting while he was on his way home from dinner along with his wife Emily Wilkinson.
As per his recollection, Mayfield saw a ‘bright ball of light’ shoot down the sky near Lake Travis in his hometown of Austin. Expectedly, Twitteratti had a field day with this and social media went berserk with some insane Baker Mayfield memes.
Here are some interesting fan reactions to Mayfield’s recent tweet
“No, and I’d suggest you stop this little charade right now Mr. Mayfield.” pic.twitter.com/SK7aoXwTf5

I believe you man..BECAUSE I SAW IT TOO!
In fact, they actually communicated an urgent message to me telepathically!🛸
They said that you should sign a fair (but team-friendly) 5 year extension that allows enough salary cap space to secure solid free agents while you're here.👽

Of course, fans were quick to bring in Colin Cowherd (a stern critic of Mayfield and popular talk show host) memes.

“I just don’t like my franchise quarterback having alien encounters in the offseason. You know where you don’t have UFO sightings? The film room. Why do you think you don’t hear Tom Brady going X-Files? He’s watching tape. I mean, cmon Baker.” pic.twitter.com/aDQtivROyM

Alien enthusiasts will be aware that Ohio has a rich history of UFO sightings. Almost 50 years ago, a small-town policeman from the city chased a flying saucer into Pennsylvania.

Last week, an American Airlines pilot also reportedly saw a cylindrical-shaped object resembling a missile or UFO on the Texas-New Mexico border. Do Mayfield and his better half need to re-evaluate their choices for supper, or is there something deeper at play here?
