panama alien meteorite: Viral TikTok video from Panama shows alleged meteorite with ‘Alien Life’ – Discovery or Hoax?

The recent claim of a potential alien meteorite discovered in Panama has sparked considerable attention online. The narrative began on August 29, when a TikTok user known as @kinpanama shared videos of a rock-like object that he posited as an “interplanetary visitor” landing in his backyard. In his footage, the object appeared to change over time, developing a greenish-yellow gelatinous growth that subsequently turned black and sticky. The user noted the object emitted a burning smell and mentioned he sought assistance from a local university, though no official response was reported.

As the videos gained traction on platforms like TikTok, X.com, and YouTube, reactions varied widely. Some viewers were fascinated, associating the find with pop culture references. Others expressed concern over the possibility of an extraterrestrial organism in a residential area. However, experts have suggested that the growth may not be alien but a terrestrial fungus known as Clathrus archeri, or the Devil’s Fingers, which resembles the described phenomena and emits a foul odor to attract flies.

Skeptics have also raised suspicions about the authenticity of the claims, with some suggesting it is a staged event or a hoax. Inconsistent visuals and the disappearance of initial videos from @kinpanama’s account have fueled this skepticism. No official investigations or confirmations from Panamanian authorities regarding the matter have emerged as of now.
