About
The Panama Alien or Venomkin, sometimes known as K-25, refers to a series of purportedly AI-generated[1] videos by TikToker @kinpanama documenting an alien made of black goo, similarly to Venom[2], that he purportedly found in a small meteorite chunk in Panama. The earliest video in the series was posted on August 29th, 2025. The TikToker posted videos throughout September 2025, with many going viral, inspiring reactions and reposts online, with some believing the videos to be real.
History
On August 29th, 2025, TikToker @kinpanama posted a video of himself poking at a small chunk of rock. The description reads, “Meteorite that fell in Panama Pedregal, soon samples will be taken to the International University.” The post gained over 2.2 million views in a month.
@kinpanama Meteorito que cayó en Panamá Pedregal,pronto se estarán llevando muestras a la Universidad Internacional #meteorito #viral #panama #viraltiktok #tiktok @NASA USA 🚀 ♬ sonido original – Kin👾[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
The TikToker uploaded numerous update videos about the supposed meteorite chunk over the next few days, showing something black with tentacles breaking free from the rock. On September 9th, the TikToker posted a video of the creature emerging from the meteorite that gained over 6.6 million views in two weeks. The description reads what translates to, “I’ve been curious since this thing started to grow in my meteorite, why it does not grow in orbit, I think that the sun makes it grow too much and it scares me.”
On the same day he posted a video to TikTok showing the alien under glass, writing in the description, “Some are calling him Venom,” garnering over 15 million views in the same span of time. As the alien continued to grow, the TikToker eventually locked it in a safe and put it in a building other than his home.
@kinpanama Muchos le están llamando Venom 😮#viralvideos #tiktok #videoviral #viral #viraltiktok ♬ sonido original – Kin👾[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
On September 13th, the TikToker uploaded a video where he goes to visit the alien in the safe, writing in the description, “I went to see how it is, it has grown😰, the people who came yesterday to look for the samples blocked me, I thought they were serious,” garnering over 2,8 million views in 10 days.
On September 14th, he uploaded a similar video to TikTok showing the alien in the safe, garnering over 15 million views in just over a week. The description seems to show his sanity slipping, reading, “When night comes I feel calm, I know it won’t grow, every time I show it to them, when I light it, it grows and puts me in danger, no one has been interested in me.”
@kinpanama Cuando llega la noche me siento tranquilo, se que no crecerá , cada vez que se los enseño, al alumbrarlo crece y me pone en peligro , nadie se a interesado en mi 😰#vemonkin #videosvirales #viraltiktok #Viral #tiktok ♬ sonido original – Kin👾[17][18][19][20][21][22][23]
Over the following days, the TikToker began to post videos of the alien swimming in the water after he released it. On September 22nd, 2025, TikToker @imagiplaytion posted a video seemingly deleted by @kinpanama showing the creature swimming, garnering over 21 million views in a day.

On September 14th, 2025, X user @AaronTuttleOK started reuploading the videos of the supposed alien with captions that wonder if they’re real, suggesting it’s either the greatest alien hoax of all time or completely legitimate. That day, one of his posts sharing the videos gained over 5,500 likes in about a week. In the post he points out that beyond to the alien videos, the TikToker’s content is very normal and unrelated to effects or aliens.
The most elaborate alien hoax of our time, or completely legit. 😱
1. Just a regular normal TikTok guy since 2022, until 10 days ago. So this is completely out of character.
2. He shows his actual home and license plate.
3. He documented daily.
4. He did lives to discredit AI… pic.twitter.com/6umTmImCKC[32]— Aaron Tuttle (@AaronTuttleOK) September 14, 2025[33]
