Is it UFO? Is it water tank? Man’s hilarious conversation over mistaking ‘pani ki tanki’ for UFO in smog-filled Delhi goes viral
Chandigarh, November 8
Delhiites have been gasping for fresh air ever since the pollution levels in the national capital have touched alarming levels post Diwali. Adding to their woes are farm fires, stubble burning and unfavourable weather conditions.
It’s not just their struggle to breathe that the residents of Delhi-NCR are fighting with, even the visibility has gone as blurry as it could get.
Baffled over one such optical illusion caused due to the ‘smoggy visibility’, a man confused a water tank for a UFO.
A Twitter user shared a picture of the flying saucer which turned out to be a water tank hidden behind the Delhi smog.
Netizens were amused as the picture did resemble a UFO hovering in the sky.
The Twitter user received the ‘water tank-turned-UFO’ image from his friend and a screenshot of their hilarious yet worrisome conversation went viral.
“Text from a friend in Delhi,” read the caption of the post.
