Whether it's wild animals, creepy criminals, or angry neighbors, Ring cameras have recorded all kinds of crazy footage over the years. But might the same home security cameras be able to capture evidence of extraterrestrials visiting Earth?
That’s what Ring wants to know. The Amazon-owned brand has launched a contest that’ll award $1 million to a US customer if they can submit video taken from a Ring camera that shows evidence of real alien life.
“Customers all over the world capture life’s unexpected and delightful moments through their Ring Video Doorbells and Cameras. Now, you could be rewarded for catching an otherworldly sighting,” Ring wrote in a blog post on Wednesday.
The offer doesn’t appear to be a joke. Ring posted the official rules for the contest, which require the submitted video to be unaltered. The same video must show the filmed alien demonstrating some “unusual, extraordinary, or unexplainable behavior.”
Astrobiologist Jacob Haqq Misra will then examine the footage to certify whether the recording possesses “Scientific Evidence of an Extraterrestrial.” The catch is that you have to obtain the footage through a Ring device, whether it be an indoor or outdoor camera.
Whether alien life has ever visited our planet remains up for debate. But the Amazon brand is also launching the contest as part of a Halloween promotion. Along with the $1 million grand prize, Ring is also offering owners a chance to win a more obtainable $500 gift card if they film themselves dressed up as an alien instead.
“To enter, simply capture and submit your most creative interpretation of an Extraterrestrial sighting on your Ring device, and you will be in the running among your earthling peers to win a $500 Amazon gift card,” the company added. Contestants will be judged “based on creativity, humor, engagement with a Ring device.”
In an email, Amazon said: "We hope this contest sparks curiosity and joy among families this Halloween season!"

The release date for the slimmer and lighter mid-gen refresh of the PS5 has seemingly leaked online, alongside details about its first bundle. As per reliable tipster Billbil-kun — notorious for accurately leaking monthly PS Plus games ahead of time — the new PlayStation consoles with smaller form factor will go on sale November 10 in the US before spreading out to other regions; both disc and digital versions. A bit before that, on November 8, Sony would be bundling it with the newly launched Marvel's Spider-Man 2 at $559.99, which is the same amount as the existing standard edition bundle. While not explicitly mentioned, the content should be the same, with a digital voucher for the game, alongside a themed controller.

Eiichiro Oda was 17 when he sold his first manga one-shot, opening the door for his now 26-year run with One Piece. Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto had a similar trajectory from one-shot to serialization, while Noriaki Kubo’s one-shot work led him to eventually create the mega-successful Bleach. All three legendary creators owe some success to former Weekly Shonen Jump editor-in-chief Hisashi Sasaki, who was on constant prowl for the next big mangaka. And now, Sasaki is turning his attention to the United States to do the same for Western artists looking for their big break.

We know the setup: A whole group of people life in an elaborately fake place that's actually the set of a sprawling reality show where they—and their lives—are the entertainment. Upcoming «cinematic puzzle game» American Arcadia is just that, a retro futuristic 1970s world constructed for entertainment purposes. Except for one thing: If you're not popular, if your ratings with the audience at home drop too far, you're killed.
