Video: Strange Alien Figure Captured on California Ring Camera. Homeowner is 'Not Crazy' & 'Not Calling the Police'

A woman from Southern California captures an alien-like figure on her Ring camera, and an expert weighs in on the strange footage captured in her front yard. She said she would not call the police on the mysterious being.

Jessica Ortiz of Compton, California captured footage of an alien on her Ring camera

Jessica Ortiz Captures Alien Footage on her Front Yard Ring Camera in Compton

Jessica Ortiz from Compton doesn't know if she is going crazy after capturing video footage of what resembles an alien on June 5, 2025. It was definitely "something strange in her neighborhood," and it was in her front yard based on the location of her Ring camera.

She said, "I'm losing my mind, and I took the phone to my son and I was like, 'Can you check this for me...Am I seeing things...is this what I'm seeing?'"

Her son replied, "Mom, it's an alien. Call the police."

She said, "I'm not calling the police on an alien. We didn't even know what to do. I'm not calling the police, I'm not going outside. I guess I'm going to have to live with the doubt because I'm not checking."

Question to the reader: If you saw an alien in your front yard, would you call the police?

If a person sees an alien on a Ring camera, should they call the police?

Please note that emergency services are intended for genuine emergencies and should not be used for non-emergencies. 

Crime Scene Expert Shares His Thoughts on the Alien Captured on the Front Yard Ring Camera in Compton

Scott Roder, a crime scene reconstruction expert, weighed in with his opinion on the matter.

He said:

"Most likely, we are not alone here on planet Earth. I think we share the space with beings and creatures that we are not readily able to recognize or acknowledge that are there."

He worked on an incident report based on the information from Jessica Ortiz and he came up with a 3D model. The model he created is seen on the left below, and another similar variation can be seen on the right, generated by AI.

Alien 3D rendering

Roder continued, "Based on the totality of the circumstances of the evidence we had, we estimate that the creature is about three feet tall with two arms and two legs, walking at what we would consider a normal pace." 

Tips if You Have Important Video Footage

If you capture important footage of any kind, always download and back up the original file in multiple places without altering the original footage, such as compressing the file. 

There are many considerations, such as light, distortion, and reflections, that can cause interesting things to be captured in security videos. When the subject matter is something that has never been seen before, it makes it even harder to confirm what a person is actually seeing.

Comments to the Facebook Post about the Black Bear in Decatur

There were interesting comments to the Facebook post about the black bear seen in Decatur, with some sharing about sightings also in Tennessee.

Betty Par wrote: "The close-up in the tree is so precious! I read somewhere that the growth of population in Tennessee is the reason for more frequent sitings in north Alabama...makes me feel sorry for the bears."

Nena Goodwin wrote: "What a beauty, that little bear!! harmless unless threatened. Or to protect their cub if they're too close, they usually just runoff black bears are not aggressive."

Tara Ann Redditt wrote: "We suddenly have them everywhere in west Tennessee suddenly. My husband said he saw one a year ago. They convinced him it was a cow but he always insisted it ran like a bear not a cow. Since he rode bulls. I guess he saw a bear. We now know of several. Lol"

Rita Mahaffey wrote: "How come all these bear sightings in the valley all of a sudden. Is some environmental organization trying to sneak in and establish a new habitat for them. We need them to go back where they came from."

Russ Williams wrote: "Is this the same bear that's been tracked from Arkansas, across North Mississippi, and spotted in a pear tree in Lawrence County a couple of days ago? MDWFP said yes to the bear in the pear tree. It can be identified by markings like a notch in the left ear."

Mickey V Brannan wrote: "There's got to be more than one bear... Considering there have been bear sightings in Limestone County, Lawrence County, Colbert County and Morgan County...I realize they can move around pretty quick but that's a lot of distance to cover in a very short time."

Sharon Durbin Horton wrote: "I feel bad for the bears because they are out of their normal habitat, run out by builders that just have to make more money."

Jeffrey Korner wrote: "Just remember folks bears are beautiful animals but are oh so dangerous especially to our children especially when startle them they will charge in their own fear. Bears close [to] homes with small children is a tragedy waiting to happen. Bears are so powerful and can and have killed humans."

Charlotte Hinkle wrote: "Thank you for sharing pictures. I will never walk to mail box or in back yard covered with trees and creek just down road without fear of seeing one. They are beautiful and amazing we have them so close."

Richard Paquette wrote: "What ever you do don't feed them. It's a death sentence for them and possibly you also. There [are] opportunists, they have a range of 200 miles. And there lazy they go where the food is. And [they] have [an] uncanny [sense] of smell."

Joanne Borden wrote: "He is just a baby! Y'all please don't hurt him or approach him and cause other people to hurt him or her."

California Man Arrested After Leaving 'Human Skin' Teddy Bear Outside a Convenience Store in Prank Gone Wrong

A California man was arrested after a prank that went very wrong. He claimed to have left a "human skin teddy bear" outside of a convenience store on Sunday, July 13, 2025. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department was called to the scene to investigate the teddy bear.

California man arrested after claiming to leave a human skin teddy bear outside a convenience store

'Human Skin Teddy Bear' was a 'Macabre Prank' Outside Convenience Store

ABC7 News reported that a California man left a "human skin teddy bear" outside of an AMPM convenience store on Bear Valley Road in Victorville on Sunday, July 13, 2025. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department was called to the scene to investigate the strange teddy bear that was left on the ground outside the convenience store.

A zoomed-in image of the bear can be seen below.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department: 'No Human Remains' Found on Teddy Bear

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department determined that there was not actually any "human remains" or "human skin" on the teddy bear. The claim was utterly false, and the police arrested 23-year-old Hector Corona Villanueva, and booked him for a report of an emergency while knowing that it was intentionally false and for planting evidence under the pretense that it was real. 

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department issued a statement about this incident, stating:

"Incidents such as this take up valuable emergency resources and put the public at risk, possibly delaying response time to legitimate calls for service. We would like to thank those that reported information that was helpful during the investigation of this case."

What was the 'Human Skin' Teddy Bear covered with?

The teddy bear was not made out of human skin. It was made out of latex.

ABC7 Eyewitness News spoke to Robert Kelly of Dark Seed Creations, an artist from South Carolina, who said that he made the teddy bear, and it was not made out of human skin, but out of latex. He confirmed that he did ship one of the bears he made out of latex to Victorville. He assumed it was just a routine order; however, he started to receive many calls when fans of his work started calling him on Sunday after recognizing one of his bears.

Kelly said:

"I guess I'd probably be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying it a little bit. You know, I'm an independent artist, so you know, I know what starving artist life feels like. So, a little attention is sometimes good regardless of not being able to condone whatever. I mean, I don't know if the guy broke any laws or it was just a prank, but it looks like he definitely got some people riled up." -Robert Kelly, Dark Seed Creations artist

His human skin teddy bear normally retails for $165 on his Etsy website. 

As of the date of publication, the human skin teddy bear was sold out.

Another True Story about a Teddy Bear Containing Ashes

An Alabama woman was driving around and saw a teddy bear on a garbage pile. She stops and grabs it to bring it home to her dog as a chew toy. When she and her daughter get home, they discover the teddy bear has ashes inside of it along with a secret note.

Why Chef Katsuji Tanabe Abruptly Left the NBC Cooking Show 'Yes, Chef!'

Many viewers of the show, Yes, Chef!, airing on NBC want to know why Chef Katsuji Tanabe was seen at the beginning of episode 5, "Chefs Rank," for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds, and then in the next scene you hear Peter say, "and  then there were eight." This post will tell you why he left abruptly mid-episode.

Chef Katsuji on Yes, Chef! (credit: NBC)

Was Chef Katsuji a Villain in the NBC Show, 'Yes, Chef?'

Chef Katsuji Tanabe on NBC's cooking competition Yes, Chef! was very much a polarizing character to the point of doing selfish things that made him a reality show villain. He frequently labeled himself as the "best chef in the kitchen" several times in the 4 complete episodes he was in, but something happened to him at the beginning of episode 5, titled "Chefs Rank."

Play-by-Play of What Happened to Chef Katsuji By Episode

This was very unexpected, because in many ways Chef Katsuji was very much the villain at times, such as the infamous episode where he takes all of the eggs during episode 3, "What's in the Box?" where Chef Katsuji is given the hardest task of making spheres via "Spherification," and fails miserably at the task, despite telling José Andrés that he can play around with it and essentially figure it out, but he is unable to achieve the task. Lee successfully wins the Spherification challenge, and gains admiration from Chef José Andrés for this win.

*Spherification is a culinary process that involves using sodium alginate to form liquid into spheres.

At the end of the episode 3, Chef Katsuji maintains that he is playing the game by taking all of the eggs, while other chefs desperately need eggs to make their dish, but the move was purely out of gameplay to keep others from using the eggs in a pure villainous move.

In episode 4, Peter was in charge, but could not cook, and Chef Katsuji was placed on Peter's team with Christopher. Chef Katsuji was clearly annoyed that neither of his dishes was selected by Peter, but their team still won the challenge thanks to Christopher's skilled dishes, elevating first a hot dog and then nachos.

Chef Peter, Christopher, and Katsuji in Yes, Chef! episode 4 (credit: NBC)

Chef Katsuji is Seen at the Beginning of Episode 5, Chefs Rank

He was seen with the group at the beginning of episode 5 as they listened to co-host José Andrés, but this scene is cut about 3 minutes and 30 seconds in, and when the competition resumes, Chef Katsuji is no longer in the competition. He was last seen in episode 5 patting Peter on the shoulder, considering that Peter had the guts to not put out either of Katsuji's dishes in the challenge the just took place in episode 4.

At the 4:40 into the episode José Andrés says, "We are starting with one less chef than expected, and that "Chef Katsuji had to leave the competition."

Distractify reported that "Martha Stewart said that Katsuji decided to self eliminate."

Did you notice that Chef Katsuji disappeared in episode 5 of 'Yes, Chef'?

Florida Man Shot in Chest by a Friend Survives Bullet Thanks to his Cross Necklace

A 20-year-old man from Marion County, Florida survives a gun fired at close range thanks to the cross necklace he was wearing. The necklace (seen below) interfered with the trajectory and force of the bullet, and even the trauma surgeons believe that the man survived thanks to "divine intervention."

Cross necklace worn by Aidan Perry

Miracle Cross Necklace Shielded Florida Man from a Bullet 

Nothing short of a miracle saved  20-year-old Aidan Perry's life when a friend was showing off a gun and the gun "accidentally" opened fire from about 10 feet away. A bullet went into Aidan's chest, but did not kill him, thanks to the cross necklace he was wearing.

Thankfully, his Dad Aaron Perry had given his son a cross necklace the previous Christmas, and son Aidan was wearing it during the almost tragic event that could have taken his life.

His father said, "I don't want to say it was just a gift, but it came from the heart."

Aidan believes God protected him in this miracle, saying, "I think God played a big role in this...I think he's the reason I'm still here today."

Aidan Perry survived a gunshot to the chest

Perry said, "Even with a little bit of pain, I'm still here, so it's fine. As long as I'm still here."

Ocala Surgeon: Cross Necklace Saved Florida Man's Life

A trauma surgeon at HCA Florida Ocala Hospital surmised that the cross necklace shielded the force of the bullet.

Dr. Khafra Garcia Henry said:

"Because of [the necklace's] metallic component, it actually shielded a lot of the force of the bullet, so the bullet ricocheted off the necklace and entered his chest small. However, it was just in his fat tissues because it slowed down the trajectory of the bullet."

The trauma surgeon continued, "The bullet could've entered his chest wall itself, into the pleural space, which is the airspace around the lung between the bones and injuring his lung itself or his heart." 

Dr. Henry believes that Perry would not be alive today if was not wearing his cross necklace. 

The "friend" that shot Aidan Perry was arrested in Sumter County, and charged with "culpable negligence" causing injury. 

Doctors do believe Aidan Perry will make a full recovery with time.

James Spann Posted on Facebook about Black Bear Sighting in Leeds, Alabama

James Spann Posted About a Black Bear Sighting in Leeds, Alabama

On June 22, 2025, James Spann posted the following about a black bear sighting in a Facebook post (see image below):

Black Bear Sighting in Leeds, Alabama

James Spann Facebook post about a black bear sighting read:

From William Richard "Good morning Mr. Spann. The black bear spotted on Dunnavant Valley road and 41 was again captured last night shortly after 10:00 p.m. entering Leeds city limits. I captured him on one of my trail cameras just southwest of the quarry along Dunnavant Rd (SR 25) near Elliot Lane. After speaking with the woman who took the photo and got the security footage of the bear she gave me the exact location which was near the Dunnavant volunteer fire department, so I knew which ridge he was traveling along and set up multiple cameras.

This is the Little Oak Ridge that eventually becomes Mills Ridge in Leeds (AL). It's part of the mountain ridge that runs parallel to 119. I may have cheated a little bit and baited him to draw him in with a case of black berries, apples, and raw fish, so don't mind the bait pile.  This location is also just once in a list a few miles south of the Waffle House which is an infamous location for bear sightings in the past.

And as always, here is the photo (ssen above) from my trail camera app geo-tagged with exact GPS coordinates and the camera location on the map for authentication purposes to validate this is real. I noticed how many people questioned the validity of yesterday's photo. I believe this is the same bear from the video footage I sent you Thursday from Chelsea and Highway 51. I can't recall a black bear being this documented as it migrates northeast since I've lived here anyway. Pretty cool."

Jersey Mike's Subs makes awesome subs. They will always ask you if you want it Mike's way. Mike's way is adding the following ingredients to your sub (generally applicable to cold subs): lettuce, onions, tomatoes, oil, vinegar, and spices.

Jersey Mike's makes one of the best Philly Cheese Steak subs with Chipotle Mayo, but don't worry, the Chipotle Mayo is not spicy, it just adds to the flavor. Under the hot subs section on the menu, the Chipotle Cheese Steak is #43 on the menu.

A Tip When Ordering the Chipotle Cheese Steak... 

Now, if they wrap your Chipotle Cheese Steak sub in aluminum foil before handing it to you, be sure to eat it soon. The juices from the sub could make your Chipotle Cheese Steak bun soggy if you take your wrapped sub anywhere to eat it (i.e. such as taking it back to work).

Pro Tip: Eat your Jersey Mike's Chipotle Cheese Steak not long after you get it for maximum enjoyment!

In My Opinion...

I think Jersey Mike's should provide other side options besides just chips, but I can't complain about their delicious sub sandwiches. Some people would like to eat healthier, and I think introducing other sides, like potato salad, would be popular for Jersey Mike's Subs.

I thought it was great when Jersey Mike's took the money from one day's sales and donated all of it to a local charity. That was really a class act for Jersey Mike's to do that.

I have always wanted to try the Grilled Pastrami Reuben, #20 on the hot subs menu, but I can't get myself to order anything other than the Chipotle Cheese Steak sub, because it is that good!

What is your favorite sandwich at Jersey Mike's subs?

Black bear was seen in Huntsville, AL in June 2025

North Alabama residents got to experience nature over the weekend that is more typical of Gatlinburg, TN, or Asheville, NC, when a black bear was seen roaming around a neighborhood in June.

WHNT News 19 Chief Meteorologist Danielle Dozier's Post on Facebook

WHNT News 19 Chief Meteorologist Danielle Dozier posted on her social media page about a black bear spotted in Huntsville, AL, in mid-June 2025, and people are losing their minds in the comment section. The first photo posted above was taken over the weekend.

Her Facebook post read:

"BEAR IN HUNTSVILLE! The bear was seen roaming around the Marina Park neighborhood in Huntsville over the weekend! Photo from Dana Doner." 

The second photo that Danielle Dozer posted (seen below) was taken on Monday, June 16, 2025, by Garrett Pinkerton.

On her Facebook page, she also has a video of the black bear roaming around Huntsville. AL.

Some Facebook Users Think That the Black Bear is a Baby Elephant

Facebook users sometimes say strange things, and this time was no different. Several users commenting on Danielle Dozier's original Facebook post think they are seeing a baby elephant. 

*For context, the University of Alabama Crimson Tide's mascot is an elephant, so there may be a joke hidden in there.

Facebook user Quoc Ha posted in the comments, "Looked like a baby elephant at first. lol" 

Facebook user Ashley Palguta added in the comments, "Quoc Ha, I thought it was an elephant. I thought it was some kind of AL joke."

Facebook user Paige Burnett Frost posted in the comments, "Why did I think that was an elephant 😂"

Facebook user Joni Charlton Colburn posted in the comments, "Quoc Ha, I had to zoom in. I saw an elephant too."

Facebook user Christa McDowell posted in the comments, "Quoc Ha, I thought that too 🐘"

Facebook user Nicole Burke McCowen posted in the comments, "Probably the same bear spotted by the train tracks on Hobbs Island yesterday."

Some Facebook users questioned if the bear was real or just AI, and WHNT News 19 Chief Meteorologist Danielle Dozier assured them in the comments that the black bear "was real after seeing the security video footage herself."

Safety Tips When Encountering a Black Bear in Huntsville, AL

It is important to remember that when you encounter a bear of any kind, to should keep calm. 

• If you have time, get all children and pets indoors quickly.
• Never turn your back on a bear and run. This can trigger a predator instinct to chase. 
• While black bears tend to be more skittish than other types of bears, a mother bear will be more aggressive when protecting her bear cubs. Always stay clear of bears and keep your distance.
• Never feed wildlife, including bears. It can cause them to get attached to humans, rather than fear them, and this will never end well for bears.
