  • A video supposedly showing a person with reptilian eyes is frequently shared on social media: This video does not document the existence of a reptilian humanoid race. This video actually showcases the digital editing of Instagram user @Nickels. This video was originally posted to Nickels Instagram page in March 2019. While that posting did not include any disclaimers to notify viewers that what they were witnessing was a work of computer-generated imagery (CGI), and not a reptilian race of humanoids, Nickels is well-known for his digital creations. In March 2019, for example, a video went viral that supposedly showed YouTube star Logan Paul getting a camera implanted into his forearm. A similar video showed musician Nessly with a autotune device implanted in his arm. These videos are all the result of digital editing. Paul does not have a camera installed in his arm, Nessly can't autotune his voice by singing into his wrist, and the person featured in the above-displayed video does not have reptile eyes. While these videos may seem like obvious fakes to some viewers, they can be mistaken for authentic when presented out of context. The reptilian eye video, especially, plays into a centuries-old conspiracy theory about the world being secretly ruled by a lizard people. In fact, when the reptilian eyes video went viral in December 2020, it was attached to a piece of text claiming that this person was from a draconian/Illumaniti bloodline. Conspiracy theories about a secret race of lizard people have persisted for years, despite zero evidence to support it. Sightings are typically made up out of whole cloth or, as in the case above, on doctored videos. Still, this hasn't stopped people from searching. In December 2020, investigators in Nashville, Tennessee, said that the person responsible for the Christmas Day bombing had even made comments about powerful politicians actually being part of a race of lizard people, prompting investigators to consider it as a possible motive for the incident.
