But Miami police have revealed that the strange figure in the video was actually just a shadow of someone walking.
The images show several police cars queuing up in front of a shopping center with emergency lights on Monday.
In one clip, what appears to be a large gray figure is seen walking close to an entrance, sparking rumors among conspiracy theorists.
“Miami's Bayside Marketplace video shows something weird: a glowing figure walking through smoke during a wild scene,” one user wrote.
But Miami police quickly dispelled the rumors, pointing out that the unknown figure was actually the shadow of someone walking.
'What can be seen in this video is the shadow of someone walking. If you look at the bottom of the shadow you can see the person. No orphans,” a spokesperson said.
The police response at the mall was sparked by a large group of unruly teenagers causing trouble about five miles from South Beach.

Social media erupted with thousands of comments about what they described as 'Miami Mall Aliens'
They set off fireworks, causing public panic as some thought a shooting was taking place at the time. Four teenagers were later arrested over the incident.
Social media erupted with thousands of comments about what they described as “Miami Mall Aliens.”
Some even claimed that police responded to reports of aliens and not to the teens.
'10 foot tall aliens/creatures (caught on camera?) shot inside and outside Miami Mall, media silent, police cover it up and say kids were fighting with fireworks, yet all these police cars and air traffic stopped that night, except for the black army helicopters…and no media coverage,” one user wrote.
Miami police public information officer Michael Vega insisted it had nothing to do with aliens.
“There were no aliens,” he said. 'No airports are closed. Nothing is withheld from the public. LOL.'
