Years after the emergence of a video showcasing an alleged UFO sighting over Kumburgaz, Turkey, the contentious footage is once again circulating on TikTok, rekindling discussions about the possibility of encountering “real aliens.”
TikTok has evolved into a hub for rumors and conjectures related to purported UFO sightings globally, accompanied by sporadic claims regarding the potential existence of extraterrestrial beings. Adding fuel to these intriguing speculations was an incident on an airplane, where a woman’s assertion about a fellow passenger being “not real” convinced some individuals that aliens were present on an American Airlines flight.
The Kumburgaz UFO video, supposedly filmed between 2007 and 2009, has resurfaced on TikTok, prompting critics and UFO enthusiasts to scrutinize its authenticity, given the extraordinary claims associated with it. Numerous content creators have shared close-up images from the video, suggesting the presence of “someone” inside the alleged UFO. The prevailing belief among some is that these entities are “aliens” piloting a spaceship on Earth.
The unclear origin of these images depicts two creatures conforming to the stereotypical description of aliens—large-eyed beings without hair and elongated body features.
While debates persist about the potential existence of aliens on Earth, TikTok users are divided in their opinions. Some express skepticism, dismissing the claims as possibly CGI or AI-generated. Conversely, a faction ardently contends that the video and the depicted aliens are indeed “real.”
Opinions on TikTok range from debunking the footage as outdated to considering it a groundbreaking human discovery. The debate continues, with some users asserting that the images of alleged aliens were captured using a camera equipped with “long-range optical zoom.”
In the ongoing saga, the Kumburgaz UFO video remains a divisive topic on TikTok, with users expressing varying degrees of belief in the authenticity of the footage and the existence of extraterrestrial life.
