Broome police, in Australia’s far north-west, shared CCTV footage of a bizarre looking object in the sky on Twitter  – and many were quick to claim it was a UFO. The video shows a bright object tilted on its side during a thunderstorm on Saturday night. Police captioned it saying: ‘After reviewing CCTV at town beach of last night’s storm, it appears we are not alone.

The round illuminated object appears in the corner of the screen as lightning strikes.

It hovers in the sky during the storm before disappearing into the distance just seconds later.

Twitter users have been trying to come up with possible explanations, with some saying it is probably just the reflection of a car’s headlights on the camera at the beach.

 ‘Not sure if it’s area 51 replica vehicle or an intergalatic vehicle. Insane footage!‘ one  Twitter user said.
