Over the last few years, many TikTokers across the globe have claimed to have had a close encounter with the third kind. In some cases, they\u2019re convinced they\u2019ve witnessed an alien or seen a UFO in their area. While some of the videos do raise some interesting questions, many of them are just classic internet stuff, really. Grainy videos of fast-moving lights or big pieces of construction make it seem like someone has finally made contact with an alien species and are going to end up at Area 51. They are, totally. Well, after the recent \u201calien encounter\u201d in Las Vegas went viral, TikTok has become obsessed with another clip from Puerto Rico. Though, this one is a little different compared to usual. Puerto Rico \u2018alien mermaid\u2019 goes viral on TikTok The original clip was uploaded to TikTok back on June 19. It\u2019s around three minutes in length and shows a mysterious light under the ocean in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico that sparks interest from the men filming it. Unlike some of the other UFO clips that have spread on TikTok, there isn\u2019t any fast movement in this. Instead, the light just continues to glow brightly in one area under the water, prompting the sailors to get close to it and investigate further. From there, there is an outline of something in the water. Naturally, you can\u2019t really see anything too clearly, but that hasn\u2019t stopped viewers from coming up with ideas as to what it might be. \u201cUFO Alien Mermaid,\u201d said one. \u201cLooks like a mermaid,\u201d another viewer said, going away from the alien claims. \u201cFor a split second I thought I saw a body, head and glowing eyes,\u201d added another. Other viewers believed they had a more logical explanation as to what it could be like divers or a pool of fish. \u201cWhat you are witnessing is called bioluminescence. It\u2019s not groundbreaking but it\u2019s pretty cool,\u201d replied another. Despite that, some are still convinced it\u2019s something from another galaxy, but, you know, we\u2019ve not got an alien on camera just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAlien Mermaid\u201d goes viral as viewers don\u2019t know what to believe TikTokA clip of an \u2018alien mermaid\u2019 in Puerto Rico has been going viral on TikTok as users are a bit unsure as to what it exactly is.
