Watch: US Residents Spot Strange Flying Object During Total Solar Eclipse

The recent total solar eclipse captured the attention of residents across the US, Mexico and Canada as they witnessed a rare phenomenon of the skies turning dark during the afternoon. Countless videos and photos of the jaw dropping event were shared online. Amidst these shots, one video stood out for a different reason. Few citizens allegedly spotted an UFO during the eclipse, leaving the internet in disbelief. The footage showed the object quickly disappearing into the clouds. The incident took place in Arlington, Texas. While some speculated it to be an extra terrestrial spaceship, others suggested it was just the shadow of an aircraft flying above the clouds during the eclipse.

In Texas, while residents prepared themselves to witness the rare event, that’s when an unknown flying object passed from the eclipse path, which left everyone surprised. Strangely, the object went unnoticed until it was above the cloud and only its shadow was visible before it disappeared into thin air. The unexpected sighting puzzled viewers and sparked numerous theories. Sharing the video, an X user wrote, “RED ALERT: A new video just surfaced of the UFO spotted over Arlington Texas during the solar eclipse today and people are freaking out because it seems to disappear into the clouds.”

Since the video was shared on X, it has gone viral and garnered over 8 Million views. A user suggested that the shadow seen on the clouds was due to an airplane flying at a higher altitude. The person mentioned that they have observed similar phenomena as an aviation spotter.

Another provided a more detailed explanation and stated that the shadow was from a flight passing above the clouds. They explained that the shadow disappears when the airplane moves into clear air and clarified that such shadows are similar to the size of the airplane as the light source is far away.

An individual quipped, “Aliens love visiting the United States of America.”

A user humorously suggested that it’s a dragon shadow rather than a UFO.

In recent months, there has been a rise in UFO sightings across the United States and Arizona is one of the top states for such incidents. Data from the National UFO Reporting Center reveals that Arizona has witnessed the most number of sightings. Nearly 5,000 reports out of approximately 170,000 reports since 1974 were from Arizona. According to alien expert Ash Ellis, Wales is considered the prime location for encountering UFOs in Britain. Ellis claims that Wales recorded 323 cases of UFO sightings last year.
