A well-renowned journalist has responded to the conspiracy theory that she is an alien or demon after a White House camera caught her eyes rolling back in a seriously eerie moment.
Molly Martinez is a multimedia journalist working out of Washington, DC. Her work has graced Gray Television’s Washington News Bureau and KFYR-TV in Bismarck, North Dakota, but she will now forever be known as the White House’s resident alien reporter.
The viral moment emerged when Molly was in the White House press briefing room, and she turned towards the cameraman. While fiddling with her press pass, phone, and hair, Molly turned towards the camera and offered a rather creepy smile. But that’s not what has people losing their minds on Twitter, for that came a few moments later when Molly’s eyes seemed to roll back in her head.
The clip, which was shared widely across both TikTok and Twitter, sparked a wave of theories ranging from “proof of lizard people with vertical slits” to “Aliens, they walk among us.” Beneath one particular post, which was viewed 23.9 million times, people lost it.

“Throw her ass in the fire or a pool of holy water. She is a damn demon,” one wrote.
Another said: “Imagine you just look like that and one day come online and see a thread of people saying how u look like a reptilian creature wearing a skin suit. I would commit.”
“Bro, imagine being insecure about your smile and people see it and start theorising whether or not you’re a lizard person,” someone else said.
Other people suggested that the video was AI, and while we don’t have confirmation of that, Molly Martinez herself has since responded.

It’s got to be incredibly jarring to log onto Twitter to find people are calling you an alien, but nevertheless, the White House reporter took the moment in her stride as she reacted to the conspiracy theory.
Alongside a screengrab of Worldstar Hip Hop’s viral post, Molly wrote: “This is objectively the funniest thing that’s ever happened to me.”
“Molly is such a generic name for a body snatcher,” one person pointed out, to which Molly responded, “It was between that or Liz, but my parents didn’t want to make it too obvious.”
When another person genuinely questioned how Molly is doing in light of her lizard-person exposure, she firmly stated, “Subjectively extremely funny as well.”
Keep your eyes open, folks. You never know where or who they are.
