**FAA Calls for Investigation into SpaceX’s Uncontrolled Starship Flight: Elon Musk Blames “Space Gremlins”**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the world scratching its head and SpaceX employees frantically Googling “how to catch a gremlin,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has officially called for an investigation into the recent uncontrolled flight of SpaceX’s Starship. Witnesses reported seeing the rocket perform what can only be described as “a mid-air interpretive dance” before it decided to take a nosedive into the Gulf of Mexico, leaving fish and seagulls alike questioning their life choices.
Elon Musk, the self-proclaimed “Intergalactic Overlord,” took to Twitter to address the situation, tweeting, “It wasn’t a malfunction; it was a feature! We’re just testing how well the Starship can swim. #SpaceGremlins.” When pressed for further details, Musk added, “You know, like those little guys from the movies. They’re always messing with my rockets. I swear I saw one in the control room last week. It was wearing a tiny space suit and eating a Pop-Tart.”
Meanwhile, FAA spokesperson, Chuck “The Rocket Man” Johnson, stated, “We’re not saying it was aliens, but we’re also not ruling it out. We’ve seen stranger things in our line of work. Last week, a drone tried to deliver pizza to the International Space Station. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well.”
In a bizarre twist, SpaceX intern, Timmy “The Space Cadet” Thompson, claimed he saw the Starship “doing flips like a gymnast” before it plummeted. “I thought it was just practicing for the Space Olympics,” he said, still clutching a half-eaten bag of astronaut ice cream.
As the investigation unfolds, one thing is clear: SpaceX may need to invest in some serious gremlin-proofing technology. Until then, we can only hope that the next flight doesn’t end with a splashdown in someone’s backyard pool. Stay tuned for updates, and remember: if you see a small creature in a space suit, it’s probably best to call the authorities.
