The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration report:

The trigger S190808ae (GCN Circular 25296) is no longer considered to
be a gravitational wave signal.

Further analysis after removing instrumental artifacts resulted in
the candidate no longer passing our threshold for a public alert.
