Miami Police Debunk Alien Sightings at Bayside Marketplace

Claims of extraterrestrial activity at the mall were sparked by a large police response to unruly teenagers, not aliens, say authorities.

Miami police were called to Bayside Marketplace on New Year's Day in response to a group of about 50 teenagers shooting fireworks at people and looting stores.
Social media users circulated videos showing a large police presence and shadowy figures, leading to claims of alien sightings at the mall.
Miami police have debunked these claims, stating that the 'aliens' seen in the videos were actually shadows of people walking.
Despite the police's clarification, conspiracy theories about the incident continue to circulate on social media.
Police have reassured the public that there were no aliens at the mall and that the situation was handled appropriately.
