Our Investigation

We noticed the video has a watermark of “Biugo” on the top-right corner. Biugo is a video editing application for Android. Installing the app, one finds out that it has a feature in which any picture can be super-imposed on the Burj Khalifa and to make it seem as if it is a light show.

We downloaded the app to test and found that the home screen of the application has various templates including one of the Burj Khalifa. It has a feature in which any picture can be super-imposed on the Burj Khalifa and to make it seem as if it is a light show.

We then searched for media reports covering this incident but couldn't find any to substantiate the claim.

The official Twitter handle of Burj Khalifa had tweeted about it as well.
