Miami International Airport joined a viral online trend by posting about a supposed flight restriction due to “unusual aerial activity.” The airport’s social media post referenced a circulating theory claiming extraterrestrials might appear during the Scotland-Brazil soccer match. The post was clearly intended as a joke, playing into the widespread speculation. The “UFO alert” originated online and quickly gained traction before the game. The airport’s response generated further engagement on social media platforms. No actual flight disruptions were reported related to the alleged phenomenon.
