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 initial video that sparked the extraterrestrial buzz surfaced on Jan 1, according to several US media outlets. On New Year’s Day, 911 callers reported hearing what they thought were gunshots at the mall, according to a report in the Miami Herald.
