The shadow appeared on Saturday over the Hebbal flyover, according to the post. “A mysterious shadow (object?) was seen in Bengaluru skies last night near Hebbal flyover. Did anyone else see? What could this possibly be? A shadow of a building? If it is, then what could possibly be the science behind it?” the user posted.
