Clues on The Masked Singer Season 9
UFO’s clues started with a “Moose on the Loose” theme song playing on an old TV. Then a newscaster comes on with breaking news “from the East coast,” saying a UFO was spotted “hovering over a runway in New England and moving West.” The newscaster then mentions she’s “influencing” radio waves and we see one of the men in black wearing a tiara. She is then seen putting down an Italian flag that said “I <3 IT” on it while he says she “touched down on a runway for 30 seconds” in New York and “struck a pose with the locals.”
A headstone with “R.I.P. Queen Victoria” is then shown on the screen. The UFO is then seen using a sewing machine on a scarf. Next, the UFO is beamed up, “alongside several sister ships.” The UFOs pass the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. She is shown doing the robot dance, while the newscaster says “look out universe!”. The clues end on the UFO texting “GG! TIME TO SING!”
Once she had finished her performance, astronaut Mike Massimino brought a clue out onto stage. It was a helmet that said “PLANET WIDE” on it. The UFO explained, “I don’t like to brag, but I’m not just known in America but the whole galaxy.”
Popular Guesses for The Masked Singer UFO
Ken predicted the UFO is Kendall Jenner. Jenny thought this might be Gigi or Bella Hadid. Robin said that the clues pointed to Emily Blunt, but with the voice, he guessed Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber.
The Masked Singer detectives started the guessing game! Fans in the comments have predicted the UFO could be Victoria Justice, Kendall Jenner, Normani, or one of the D’Amelio sisters. I personally would love to see Dixie on the show, especially since her mom and sister had their chance on a reality competition show, both appearing on the last season of Dancing With the Stars. (Charli even won the season!)
With that voice and all the clues, we had to do some sleuthing of our own to figure out who is under the mask. But our prediction is that the UFO is…

Olivia Culpo!
Now, we’ll run through all the clues that prove it.
The clues said the UFO was “from the East coast” and mentioned “New England” and Olivia Culpo is from Rhode Island. The newscaster mentioned the UFO “hovering over a runway,” and Olivia is a model. His mention of “moving West” and the Golden Gate Bridge also make sense, because she is engaged to San Francisco 49ers player Christian McCaffrey. Those weren’t the only clues about her famous fiance! “Touch down” was also mentioned, as well as “GG” in a text, which stands for “Good Game,” a common sentiment among athletes.
There were a few mentions of her career as a fashion influencer, including saying she’s “influencing radio waves” and her using a sewing machine. And there was no shortage of clues on her pageant history! We saw a tiara, an “R.I.P. Queen Victoria” headstone, and a “PLANET WIDE” helmet, all obvious nods to her being a pageant queen and winning Miss Universe. The newscaster mentioned she “skyrocketed overnight” as well, and Olivia Culpo won Miss Rhode Island the first time she ever entered the competition, launching her career seemingly overnight. Lastly, the Italian flag with “I <3 IT” on it is a clue pointing to her Italian heritage.
And if you had any doubt, Olivia has been posting singing TikToks recently and the voice is a perfect match. Do you agree with our prediction or are there any clues we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments!
