Video showing ‘alien’ at Miami mall sparks claims of invasion An amateur video circulating online, purportedly showing an alien at a Miami mall, sent social media in the United States into a frenzy last week.
The video showed a figure that was at least 2.4m tall strolling outside the Bayside Marketplace shopping centre.
It sparked claims on social media that aliens had landed on earth. The truth, however, was far more down to earth, according to the Miami Police Department. On Jan 5, they released a video on Instagram to debunk the rumours.
There were no aliens, UFOs (unidentified flying objects), or ETs. No airports were closed. No power outages,” the police told Forbes magazine in an e-mail.
