Bizarre creature with elongated head caught on doorbell camera sparks fears of visitors from another planet

Daily Mail​a day ago
A frightening sight was captured on a woman's doorbell camera which appeared show an extraterrestrial walking through her backyard.
Jessica Ortiz, from Compton, California, revealed the June 5 clip on her Instagram account, showing a bizarre creature walking in her driveway and exiting through a back gate.
This short, blue ' alien ' had an elongated head, a tiny neck that seemed to be coming out of the creature's chest, and a protruding backbone.
As the creature moves out of view, you can hear Ortiz's gate slam shut after the invader leaves her property.
Ortiz recently revealed that the incident took place around 1am PT and was only captured by her front door camera, even though she had motion-activated cameras all around her home.
'That's why we know for sure it's not a person because there's only one way in and there's only one way out,' Ortiz said while sharing her story with the YouTube channel The Hidden Underbelly 2.0.
The scary incident got even more bizarre after Ortiz's aunt, who is also her next-door neighbor, said she heard banging and scratching noises on her roof just 30 minutes before the creature was caught on camera.
As for why her other cameras didn't detect the suspected alien invader, Ortiz shared that the video seemed to show the creature materializing out of nowhere right before walking past the front door.
Ortiz added that the encounter started when she received an alert on her Ring doorbell app.
'I asked my son to look at the video. I brought the phone and I was like 'Hey, double check this for me, what am I seeing?' and he saw the video like three times and he's like 'Mom it's an alien, call the cops.'' she explained during the June 27 interview.
Despite her son's suggestion and her own fears about what was lurking in their neighborhood, Ortiz never ended up calling the police.
'It was scary. At that moment, I was like, what do I do?' the mother said.
'I was like 'we're going to sound crazy calling the police saying there's an alien in the backyard,'' Ortiz continued.
Although Ortiz wouldn't call the strange sighting an alien, she said she does believe we're not the only living beings in this universe.
The host of The Hidden Underbelly podcast, who did not give his name, speculated that the creature was indeed an alien and appeared to be from a race UFO researchers refer to as 'the Greys.'
He noted that alleged alien encounters over the years have cited two distinct species of Greys, one extremely tall race and another short and strangely shaped race.
This 'alien,' which appeared to be no more than three or four feet in height, seemed to fit the description of the short Greys.
Although both Ortiz and her teenage son were still awake that night, the YouTube host pointed out that it seemed very unlikely a small children would have been out roaming the streets at 1am.
'Look at its head, it's a very weird shape,' the host explained. 'And the color, this is looking like a blue-grey creature, of the typical Greys.'
'Could this be somebody in an elaborate costume? This would have to be a very small person,' he said.
In October 2023, Ring doorbell cameras, an Amazon-owned company, offered a $1 million grand prize to any US resident who provided 'unaltered scientific evidence of a real extraterrestrial lifeform.'
The month-long contest came after troves of videos claiming to show extraterrestrial activity flooded the internet. However, most of the sightings turned out to be meteors falling from the sky.
No one ended up winning the 2023 contest by Ring. Ortiz was asked about Ring and Amazon's offer and said she would enter it if the companies are still taking submissions, adding that her video was not edited in any way.

A rogue fertility clinic, stolen eggs, and an unlikely friendship

In 1995, Renée Ballou received a call from a reporter at the Orange County Register. The reporter asked if she was alone, and suggested she would need to sit down. Ballou says: 'She said, we're breaking a story tomorrow. We have some records here that the FBI has released, and we have every indication that your eggs were stolen and that you have a child that was born from the stolen eggs.' Ballou had received an unsuccessful IVF treatment at the Garden Grove Medical Center in Orange County, California, eight years earlier. The clinic, run by doctors Ricardo Asch and José Balmaceda, had stolen eggs or embryos from 137 patients, which had led to at least 15 live births. Journalist Jenny Kleeman tells Helen Pidd: 'Most of the paperwork is just gone. So these are just the ones that we know about now.' But at the time, it wasn't considered illegal. 'It was classed as a kind of medical malpractice, which is the same as you'd get for taking the wrong kidney. It's not the same as intentionally stealing someone's genetic material and creating a human being with it.' As part of her reporting on the Garden Grove and the children that were born as a result of the scandal, Kleeman also tracked down Carole LieberWilkins, the woman who unknowingly received Ballou's stolen eggs, and had given birth to a boy, Daniel. What Kleeman discovered was an incredible friendship between the women, and what happens when people trust in the goodness of each other. Support the Guardian today:

Preppy Connecticut town torn apart by violent murder at private school house party

A wealthy Connecticut suburb has been rocked by the killing of a private school lacrosse star stabbed to death at a house party. Raul Elias Valle, now 20, is accused of killing 17-year-old James McGrath at a home on Laurel Glen Drive in Shelton, a ritzy town 15 miles west of New Haven, after a fight over stolen beer. Prosecutors say that on the night of May 14, 2022, Valle used a pocketknife to stab four teenagers, including McGrath, following a feud between groups of boys from rival schools at an earlier party. At the time, Valle was a 16-year-old student at St Joseph High School, where tuition costs $19,000 a year, while McGrath was a standout athlete at the nearby $25,000-a-year Fairfield College Prep. Despite being charged with murder, Valle was released on a $2 million bond posted by his parents. He has pleaded not guilty and turned down a plea deal, opting to go to trial. He now faces up to 60 years in prison if found guilty. His case began unfolding at Connecticut Superior Court in Milford on June 17, 2025, and so far jurors have heard testimony from a sobbing Valle, along with several students who were at the party in 2022. During questioning, Valle admitted that he stabbed four people a collective nine times. Besides McGrath, those injured were named as Faison Teele, Ryan Heinz, and Thomas Connery. When asked if he was responsible for the stab wounds, Valle said: 'I don't know. I guess so. Yes.' He added that he didn't remember sinking the knife into the teens. Valle attorney has framed the stabbings as self-defense, saying his client was swarmed by teenagers during an 'attack' by other partygoers. Speaking in court, Valle told the court that a huge group of teens attacked him and 'everything went black.' 'I started waving and just stabbing in every direction, just flailing my arm around,' he said during the tearful testimony. Valle said his trio were confronted by 'about 30 people spread out in a line' which he described as a 'wall' of teenagers. Another high schooler at the party, Taylor Capela, witnessed the deadly fight, and said she heard one of the alleged victims shout 'he has a knife, he has a knife'. Moments later, Valle lunged at McGrath, Capela said. Capela said McGrath was not fighting anyone and was simply observing the chaos when Valle plunged the blade into his chest. She watched in horror as blood seeped through his white clothing. Capela also recalled seeing Teele and Connery covered in blood from their wounds. Capela broke down in the courtroom as she recalled the horror, saying she now suffers with nightmares and anxiety. Witnesses detailed how the fight which ended McGrath's life was sparked by an earlier disagreement at another house party. Valle's friend Jack Snyder, who gave him the knife, testified under an immunity agreement shielding him from prosecution linked to the crime. Snyder admitted going to a house party around two miles away earlier in the night and stealing beer from one of the stabbing victims, Ryan Heinz. Snyder said this triggered a minor dispute with a group from another local school, Shelton High. The rival groups then began insulting each other on a group chat that had originally been set up to organize basketball pick-up games. Snyder admitted that he and Valle left the first party when tensions were high, but planned to confront the other students later. They drove to the party on Laurel Glen Drive later that night, where Valle said the car was mobbed by the boys from the rival school. Snyder said he gave Valle a pocket-knife he had in the car, claiming that his friend 'aggressively' asked for it. Their friend Tyler DaSilva was also in the car. He added that he, DaSilva and Valle intended to resolve the fight peacefully because DaSilva 'knew some of their families', but he said one Shelton High student punched Valle, and the situation escalated from there. Meanwhile, Snyder remained in the car. He said that when Valle returned he was visibly disturbed. He said Valle told him 'I think I just stabbed four people'. Snyder said Valle tossed the knife into the woods as they left the scene - something the defendant denies. Snyder also admitted writing 'enjoy the hospital' in the basketball pick-up group chat, but told the court he did not understand the seriousness of the situation when he sent the message. One of the victims, Heinz, recalled the horrific moment he was stabbed. He said he did not initially realize, until a friend pointed out blood soaking through his clothes and he heard a gurgling noise coming from his collapsed lung. Disturbing footage of the fight was shown to jurors. Valle said it was Snyder who tossed him the knife unprompted, and that he was confused about why he handed him the weapon, but pocketed it anyway. Synder has denied this version of events, saying that Valle asked him for the knife. Prosecutors have charged Valle with murder and multiple counts of assault. He is being tried as an adult despite being a minor at the time of the alleged crimes. The trial is set to continue for several more weeks at Connecticut Superior Court.
