For years, eagle-eyed viewers of NASA's live stream have spotted a series of strange objects lurking above Earth near the International Space StatION

While experts often dismiss them as space junk, the conspiracy flames are often fuelled further when the live feeds seem to cut almost immediately after the objects appear – leading to bizarre claims NASA is covering up alien life.

Footage of a mystery object lurking in the background of the ISS has now emerged to reignite the conspiracy.

The video shows what appears to be a craft with two legs coming off it hovering near the station.

YouTube conspiracist Of Sound Mind and Body said in the clip: “As you can see, there is a massive object lurking in the background.

“The object is completely illuminated by the sun and it is very hard not to notice its bizarre shape.”

The screen then turns blue, leading the theorist to suggest NASA deliberately cut the feed.

“After a few moments of the object being completely in the open for all to see, guess what happens next?” he continues.

“Viewers were then hit by the infamous NASA blue screen – we say ‘infamous’ due to the number of times it happens when a UFO is seen.”

Renowned truth-seeker Streetcap1 originally spotted the object back in 2016, but the frenzy around it has reignited after Of Sound Mind and Body posted it last month.

Prominent alien hunter Scott C Waring also weighed in on the footage on his blog ET Database.

“[The video] shows an extraordinary UFO with a shape unlike anything I have ever seen before,” he said.

“The object was recorded on live NASA space station cam and has a very strange appearance. It is clear to me that UFOs frequently visit the space station to keep an eye on humanities progress.”

But some viewers dismissed the sight as nothing more than a reflection on the space station’s window.
