Amazon is launching a very special competition: if you manage to film an extra-terrestrial with your Ring connected doorbell and the video is validated by a scientist, you win a million dollars.

Assuming that you believed in their existence, how would you go about observing the arrival of an extra-terrestrial? Probably by getting a telescope and then choosing a clear night to point it at the sky and wait. Or maybe you would help NASA with your smartphone if it handles night photos well. Otherwise, you can use… your connected doorbell. No, it’s not a joke.

Amazon has just launched a competition to obtain a alien video made from Ring, its smart doorbell. Note that at the time of writing, the page dedicated to the event displays the message “Alien error! Please save your content for now. Our team is actively working to resupply the mothership.” A 404 error in short, unless beings from elsewhere have heard of the initiative and wish to put an end to it prematurely.

Amazon gives you a million dollars for an alien video filmed with the Ring connected doorbell

In any case, the following call could be read on the site: “The detectors have picked up stray signals coming from the Neighborhood Nebula. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe that’s something. It’s there that you intervene”. Concretely, the videos must be transmitted from theRing doorbell control app. The meteorologist and astrobiologist Jacob Haqq Misrad acts as judge and will designate the best “scientific proof” of theexistence of intelligent extra-terrestrial life.

The author of the winning video will receive $1 million from Amazon. The contest is open to residents of the United States only, but you can still enter to win a $500 Amazon gift card. To do this, you will also need to send a video filmed with your Ring doorbell, but it is up to you to portray the alien that will appear in it. Puppet, person in makeup or costume… Anything goes. The closing date for submissions is set at November 3, 2023.
