I was an eye witness at the game and can CONFIRM that there WAS A FLAG.  It was transported across the field by a floating craft with golden wings emitting light.  We all stood in shocked silence as lightning rained down with frogs and crickets.  After about 30 seconds people realized their cell phones weren't working and we all just went back to watching the game.  That's why there aren't any pictures.  The real tragedy is the mis-reporting of a mass hallucinogenic public event.
