There just may be something out of this world happening in Compton, California.
In a video shared to X by the Blurry Creatures Podcast, footage from a woman’s Ring camera showed something unusual walking by her house. In the right-hand corner of the screen, a holographic image of what would appear to be an alien simply walks by the house.

“I’m not going to call the police, I’m not going to go outside…I’m not checking,” Ortiz said.
According to NBC Los Angeles, Ortiz said she had her son check the footage three times, which he then said, “Mom, it’s an alien. Call the police.”
/**/The outlet also noted that during the end of the footage “loud noises can be heard coming from outside. It’s unclear what caused those noise.” According to NBC, Ortiz’s aunt who lives next door said she heard scratching and crawling sounds, which led her to run to her room to pray.
As strange sightings like the one in Compton continue to surface, Christians must be discerning and spiritually grounded. The Bible warns of a coming end times deception in the last days, one so powerful that it could deceive even the elect if possible (Matt. 24:24). Whether this incident is a trick of technology, a demonic manifestation or part of a deeper spiritual agenda, believers must remember that Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light (2 Cor.11:14), and the enemy will use signs and wonders to draw people away from the truth.
