The strange video, shared by bewildered homeowner Jessica Ortiz, shows a diminutive, grey figure with an unusually shaped head scurrying across her driveway.

The footage, reportedly captured at approximately 12:45 AM, shows what many are describing as a stereotypical “grey alien” – standing an estimated three to four feet tall – shuffling quickly beside Ortiz’s front porch before vanishing from the frame.

Moments later, a cacophony of loud banging noises can be heard, which Ortiz later clarified was the sound of her back gate opening, though intriguingly, her motion-sensor cameras in the rear of the house detected no further presence.

The mystery deepened with the account of Ortiz’s aunt, who lives next door.

She reported hearing three loud bangs on her roof around the same time, followed by unsettling scratching sounds that sent her fleeing to her room in prayer. “Which is wild to me,” Ortiz emphasized when recounting her aunt’s experience.
