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

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.
