On Tuesday afternoon, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife officials announced to Kentuckians that when it comes to bull sharks living in the commonwealth’s waterways, they had nothing to worry about, just like that mayor did in Jaws.

However, when wildlife officials tried to calm Kentucky Lake visitors and residents with an official looking Facebook post Tuesday afternoon that they hoped would explain the original story was total bull shark, they neglected to call a press conference or offer any names as sources for further comment or explanation.

The end result for residents is one of confusion, “They’re telling us the story about bull sharks was fake news, but then their story kinda just looks like fake news too, I mean little stories like this can have a big effect here in town, and potentially ruin this small town’s summer economy,” explained Kentucky Lake’s former vice mayor Larry Vaughn.

“The fact that they don’t cite any authoritative sources, that’s the problem I got, that and this here old timey photograph that’s been hanging in my office, since long before I worked here,” Vaughn explained as he pointed to a framed photograph that must have been from, “some sort of old Kentucky newspaper, or history book.”

The photograph dated May 15, 1848 isn’t exactly in focus, and Vaughn admits it might not be the evidence he and other bull shark truthers are looking for, “could be showing us six or seven bull sharks in a river next to an incredibly large roll of toilet paper, or it could be a family that was too cheap to take a ferry and attempted to ford the big blue river, which many historians agree must have been located somewhere near the future site of Rupp Arena. How did this family die? Was it bull sharks? Was it dysentery? We know for sure if they forded the river it ruined a lot of their supplies, especially since they were carrying way too much buffalo meat. Guess there’s no way to be sure. History, she is a cunning mistress and she keeps many a-secret, the answers to which, we are not privy.”
