LOWESTOFT, NORFOLK—Emergency services are responding to reports that a mysterious 100-foot creature, widely believed to be Godzilla, has appeared in the seaside town of Lowestoft, prompting road closures, confused tourists, and an urgent reassessment of the town’s existing monster preparedness policy.

Witnesses first reported the creature shortly after 9:40am, when it was seen emerging near the harbour, briefly pausing before proceeding inland with what observers described as “measured confidence” and “no obvious interest in fish and chips.” Mobile phone footage appears to show the towering reptilian figure navigating residential streets with surprising care, although at least one lamppost has been lost.

Norfolk Constabulary confirmed it is working alongside the fire service, ambulance crews, and “relevant national agencies” to contain the situation.

Local councils have activated emergency protocols not previously tested outside tabletop exercises labelled Hypothetical Lizard Scenario. “We planned for flooding,” said one official. “This is… different.”

The Ministry of Defence has acknowledged awareness of the incident but declined to confirm whether the creature is radioactive, hostile, or simply lost. Early indications suggest the beast has so far limited its activity to walking, looking around, and occasionally roaring in a manner described as “expressive but non-specific.”

Residents are advised to follow official updates and not rely on social media rumors suggesting the creature is “probably friendly” or “heading for Ipswich.”

This is a live and developing situation. Authorities say further updates will follow as containment efforts continue.
