The story KEEPS getting weirder and more and more people are taking notice to it..
We are still following Kin from Panama and whether he really has a pet alien growing in a safe.. Debate is raging! But lots of people are freaking out while others are trying their hardest to debunk what they feel is a big hoax on TikTok..
Here is a quick rehash for those who were not following coverage of the story..
The individual, who identifies himself as only Kin online, said he discovered a small, silver-colored space rock in a fiery crater in Panama on August 29…
Since then, he has shared a series of videos on TikTok showing what he described as the meteorite burning leaves on contact and an unruly, tentacled organism sprouting from within it.
A week after his initial post, he claimed that the crater ‘shines at night,’ sharing footage of the dark site glowing mysteriously.
The most recent video at the time this is being posted is imagery of an “alien” that continues to grow!
Reddit user HighStrangeness is trying to provide a more scientific explanation.. According to the post, the mysterious black substance exposed in Panama is not an alien meteorite entity at all but rather a silicone-based polymer known as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), combined with small amounts of hexane, a common organic solvent. Both materials are widely used in everyday applications ranging from medical implants to cookware. The unsettling “wiggling” and “breathing” movements seen in the videos were attributed to a phenomenon called swelling-induced snapping motion. When PDMS absorbs hexane, it swells; as the solvent evaporates or redistributes, different parts of the polymer contract at uneven rates. This creates sudden snapping movements that appear organic, almost as if the material were alive. The irregular rhythm of the contractions mimicked muscle-like motion, while PDMS’s flesh-like texture and the black coloration amplified the alien illusion.
People are going to still debate–and we are still going to be following Kin for as many updates as we can get..
One thing, the biggest thing for us, is that Kin does not seem to have any history on his Tiktok of doing anything like this for attention. If this was a big hoax, or a movie promotion or ad, you would think there would be more potential connections to things like that in the past. But there is none.. it all starts with that little potato looking thing.. and now it has legs.
Whether fake or not, I guess we will keep watching to see what happens next..
