Ring is giving its users in the US an opportunity to embark on an alien sighting task for a million bucks. The task users need to perform to win the competition is very straightforward, yet you might not be able to complete it. Ring says that users should submit a doorbell video of extraterrestrial life forms lurking around their houses or businesses.
While the money is beyond enticing, a ton of users will want to know what they need to do to win. However, the task is impossible to achieve because there are various conflicting beliefs on the existence of extraterrestrial life forms. There are currently a lot of debates on the topic of extraterrestrial life forms visiting Earth.
Ring now hopes to use this to have a bit of fun while having some of their users on the lookout for aliens lurking on their properties. All Ring expects of users is that they get the alien on video using a Ring indoor or outdoor camera. Well, some users already feel that this task is a spin-off from the Mission Impossible movie, but Ring still has something in store for these users.
If you can record an alien during the Ring alien sighting contest, you can act like one
Ring doesn’t deny the fact that this challenge might be impossible and the million-dollar prize money might not go to anyone. For this reason, they are making this challenge even more fun by letting users explore their creative side. The company is letting users record themselves acting as an alien on their indoor or outdoor camera for a prize.
For users who wish to act like an extraterrestrial life form instead of recording a real one, they can get a $500 gift card. From this, it is now clear that Ring is just in the Halloween spirit and is trying to catch some spooky fun. So users in the US can start working on their alien costumes and get their acting together for a chance to win big with Ring.
However, those who believe that aliens are real and might have seen some in their backyard can still submit their recordings. The $1 million prize money is still open to them, but astrobiologist Jacob Haqq Misra will examine the photo. This will be to confirm if the Ring indoor or outdoor camera recording actually captured an alien or just some kid that ran by.
Users submitting videos to win a million bucks must ensure that the recording captures some “unusual, extraordinary, or unexplainable behaviour.” Video submissions will open on October 12, which is just a few days away. The company also gives users a hint on how they can attract these aliens to their Ring cameras, as well as how to greet them once they arrive.
