That’s one hefty constellation prize.
Ring is offering a $1 million award to anyone who can capture an alien sighting on their Amazon-company doorbell cameras.
“Ring’s Million Dollar Search for Extraterrestrials” encourages Ring users to scour their footage this season for any signs of unnatural or abnormal activity.
“For almost 100 years, scientists, experts, and average homeowners have shared stories and video clips of Extraterrestrial sightings,” Ring said Wednesday.
“With new sightings and further evidence that lifeforms might exist beyond Earth’s atmosphere, there’s a possibility that Extraterrestrial activity could be happening right outside your front door.”
Users who spot a UFO flying past their property, green little men walking down their street, or other proof of otherworldly life are encouraged to submit their Ring footage to the Amazon company, where it will be reviewed by a “Space and Extraterrestrial Expert.”
If the paranormal professional deems that the video meets “the Scientific Evidence criteria of an Extraterrestrial lifeform,” the owner will be awarded the sizeable prize money.
Participants could still be eligible for a smaller prize, however, for submitting a creative hoax that might trick some who aren’t as privy to scams as the expert.
“Show us your best Extraterrestrial costumes, accessories, makeup, props, or other artificial means and you may be eligible to win a $500 Amazon gift card for your extraordinary creativity.
The contest will run through November 3, giving participants plenty of time to bust out their binoculars and charge their cameras.
“Have fun and don’t be fooled by the realistic costumes you may see on Halloween!” the company joked.
Although the “Million Dollar Search for Extraterrestrials” appears to be mostly for fun, Ring cameras have picked up on plenty of potential extraterrestrial activity in the decade since it was released.
In July, the device captured a mysterious green fireball streaked across the night sky in Louisiana — sparking conspiracy theories that a UFO passed through while everyone else was sleeping.
Skeptics refused to accept meteorologists’ conclusion that the blast of green light was just a meteor, with many theorizing it was an alien making a landing in the Pelican State.
Three years earlier, a Texas man’s Ring device caught the moment he was apparently abducted by a passing UFO.
Luckily, he was returned to Earth, chalking the footage up to a silly glitch.
