A number of residents became convinced the aliens were invading after a mysterious light was seen in the sky.
Mysterious lights cause alien panic
In a series of videos, the large ball of light can be seen hanging in the sky at night for several minutes because it moves further away and then extinguishes in the distance, the Mirror Online reported.
At the time the people of Ocana in Norte de Santander, Colombia, were concerned the ball of light was in fact an alien invasion but others pointed out that it could be a flare or another fired object.
Local authorities are reportedly still trying to find out what the light actually was and some witnesses claim the orange glow disappeared into the neighbouring town of Aguas Claras.
