I seem to have found the original source of the claimed sightings that has lead to this massive case of hysteria. It's a Twitter/X account called @rawsalerts. Here's the post:
There is zero evidence to support any of the claims made in this post, and it seems to have spread virally from here. It appears that rawsalerts posts disinformation and then it is disseminated through a massive network of fake news sites and fake social media accounts. Just do a google search for "rawsalerts" to see what I mean. It looks like much of its content is constantly reposted by NewsBreak, which has been noted as a disinformation/fake news site set up by China.

Starting to get the idea? I believe this was a case of mass hysteria that was literally engineered by one of our enemies.
