New York governor Andrew Cuomo brought an alien mask to a news conference about a utility equipment failure that caused an eerie flash of blue light in the sky over New York City.
Cuomo said on Friday that the incident, which caused power outages and grounded some flights at LaGuardia Airport on Thursday night, was an electrical malfunction.
New Yorkers posted eerie photos of the otherworldly flash of light on social media and joked about an alien invasion.
Even the New York Police Department tweeted there was 'no evidence of extraterrestrial activity' on Thursday.
Cuomo said on Friday that the electrical failure in Queens 'was more dramatic than destructive.'
But he said he would ask the state Public Service Commission to work together with the utility company of Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Ed) to identify the cause and help ensure that it doesn't happen again.
During a news conference streamed from the governor's press page on Facebook, Cuomo had a little fun with the mishap.
'We did find one piece of evidence that was a little peculiar. This was on the site,' Cuomo said, while pulling out an alien mask.
Keeping a completely straight face, he went on:
'Which has raised some questions, but I'm told it's a piece of safety equipment for workers, which I believe.'
With that, he pulled the mask down and folded it up. No longer able to keep it together, his lips turned up in a big smile.

'But there is no truth to the alien invasion or alien/UFO landing, whatsover,' he said, still grinning from ear to ear as he placed the mask in his pocket.
After his joke was over, Cuomo turned the news conference over to John McAvoy, the chairman of Con Edison electric company to give more specifics about what actually happened in New York on Thursday.
The chairman explained that it was a CCPD, or capacitive coupling detection device, that failed.
'Think of it as something that monitors and reports voltage back to our control centers and to protective systems,' McAvoyJohn McAvoy said.
Con Ed is still working to figure out what caused the high-voltage equipment failure that unleashed an otherworldly flash of bright blue light in the night sky over Astoria.
Although Con Ed initially described a 'brief electrical fire' at its power substation in Queens, spokesman Bob McGee said on Friday that what happened was what's called an 'arc flash' which is somewhat like a bolt of lightning.
The 'arc flash' occurred after the malfunction in equipment carried 138,000 volts of electricity 20 feet (6 meters) up in the air.
He said the flash subsided on its own.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
