Footage widely shared on social media appears to show the unknown dark object – shaped like a disc or cigar – moving amongst the clouds.

It shoots across the screen, disappearing beneath the cloud whisps, before then emerging again.

One person can be heard screaming: “Woah there’s something flying through the air what the f*** was that.”

Meanwhile, another shouts: “It’s aliens it’s aliens.”

A total eclipse plunged North America into darkness on April 8 – enchanting millions with the spectacle and sparking wild conspiracy theories.

The clip has gone viral, being posted on Reddit and X and viewed thousands of times.

And it comes amid a time UFOs remain a H๏τ topic among lawmakers in Washington DC.

The video has caused a stir – but while some were excited by it others were more cynical.
