Human-like figures in clouds spark speculation about existence of aliens; Watch viral video

A video has gone viral on social media where a passenger on a commercial airline shows what looks like two human beings standing on cloud cover. The camera then pans to show several other such figures in the sky.

The video has received about 5 million views and has sparked speculation about the existence of alien life. It has been uploaded by Myra Moore, a content creator who identifies as a paranormal expert.

“A passenger on a commercial airline captures what appears to be multiple beings standing on cloud cover, what is going on?” Myra Moore, a content creator who identifies as a paranormal expert, asked while sharing the video on X. Moore added several hashtags like #aliens and #paranormal to her post.



Many conspiracy theorists took it as proof of alien life, others raised doubts about the authenticity of the video or tried to provide more rational explanations.

“Anyone that ‘captures’ footage is always swaying the lens. No one stays on the objects long enough to make out real theories. So, to me, it’s all fake click bait,” wrote one X user.

“I believe some of those shots might just be of men standing on snow..” another said.

Several people asked why the plane appeared to be stationary mid-air.

“I don’t believe it. If a normal human was recording this we would be zoomed in staring straight at the things until the plane was out of sight,” an X user wrote in the comments section.

Some people also gave a more rational explanation for the strange sight, calling it a natural phenomenon.

“It is a fog layer, and you are seeing steam rising from exhaust stacks,” an X user explained.

This one backed this explanation, saying, “I got an answer from a highly experienced pilot, ‘Probably smoke stacks or cooling towers below the cloud layer. Looks like a very low fog layer. And this isn't the tower itself but the actual steam coming out of them rising above the fog."
