Washington, D.C. has been hit by a bizarre mystery after giant numbers reading "8647" suddenly appeared across a stretch of grass on the iconic National Mall, triggering a federal investigation and igniting political controversy just days before a major event linked to President Donald Trump.
The massive message, etched into the lawn near the World War II Memorial, was visible from aerial cameras and webcams but much harder to spot from ground level. Images showed the numbers formed by patches of dead or discolored grass, leaving authorities scrambling to determine who was behind the unusual display and how it was created.
