I am sorry for the quality, it was filmed with a mobile phone YouTube user Naktis Ireland

Despite the footage being filmed in December, the video was only posted online last week – causing many Internet aficionados to cry foul.



Writing on YouTube, the poster addressed concerns about the shakiness of his UFO video.



"I am sorry for the quality, it was filmed with a mobile phone. Ironically I had a Canon EOS 55D with 300 mm lens at home that could of filmed in 3000x3000 but I was afraid that they would disappear by the time I got my camera as this is a very rare opportunity so instead, used a phone to record as much as possible."
