Police have shared a CCTV image of the little one walking alone in his night clothes.
But mystery surrounds the sighting as no one has reported a child missing, officers say.
A spokesperson from North Wales Police said: “We have received reports of an eight-year-old boy in alone in Oakenholt.
“He was last sighted near the Spar in Chester Road, Flint at around 7.45pm.
“He was wearing pyjamas and a Batman dressing gown and had bare feet.
“If you have seen this child, or are aware of who he is, please contact us on 101 or online quoting the reference number B003961.”
Chief Inspector Andrew Griffiths confirmed this morning that the force has not received any reports of a missing child.
Helicopter pilots and uniformed officers spent last night scouring the town for the boy.
“As a result of the initial report of an unaccompanied child we have conducted extensive and coordinated air and ground searches,” he told Wales Online.
“These searches have not received any sightings or information.
“As we have not had any reports of a missing child I am satisfied at this time that the unidentified child is no longer on the streets.”
However, PCs will continue to their efforts to find the little boy and make sure he’s safe, he said.
