The footage has garnered millions of views from netizens while many regarded it as the "best UFO footage ever." However, others are not convinced and have come up with various theories about the object's true identity. A section of viewers speculated that the object was a Mylar balloon, a festive decoration commonly used at birthday parties.
Mylar balloons are made of thin, flexible material with a metallic coating that reflects light, giving a balloon a shiny appearance. While they are often filled with helium, they can become stranded in the air with no way back to the ground, reported India TV.
A few others suggested that the object was a Navy or Chinese drone, while some viewers made pop culture references to Star Wars and Disney movies.
Interestingly, the viral video has sparked a renewed interest in the possibility of aliens and the existence of UFOs.
