Panamanian man claims to find alien life on meteorite

In Panama, a man, known as @kinpanama, has gained viral attention after claiming to have discovered a meteorite in his backyard. He released videos that show the rock appearing ordinary at first, but within 72 hours, it started to excrete a greenish-yellow goo, which then transformed into a black substance. This phenomenon has led to a mixture of intrigue and skepticism online, with some users associating the substance with comic book references like 'Venom.' Critically, various scientists have suggested that the growth on the rock could actually be Clathrus archeri, a type of fungus that mimics a normal rock before developing black, tentacle-like shapes and emitting a foul odor. However, despite his claims of recording samples taken by authorities, neither local officials nor academic institutions have verified his assertions. Critics are questioning the authenticity of the videos, suggesting that they may be staged or manipulated, which has further ignited discussions about the possibilities and limitations of social media in disseminating information about extraordinary claims. As skepticism grows, along with the viral nature of the story, many users have started to question the reliability of what is being presented and the impact of such sensational content on public perception of real scientific discoveries.
