The Antarctic Impulse Transient Antenna (\textsc{ANITA}) collaboration \cite{Gorham:2016zah,Gorham:2018ydl,Gorham:2020zne} have reported observation of two anomalous events with noninverted polarity. These events are proven to be hard to explain in terms of conventional cosmic rays (CR). We propose...
