The footage shows a flashing blue light moving up into the skies.

It begins moving off to the right of the screen, before suddenly disappearing.

“You can see it going up and up, I don’t know what it is,” the cameraman says.

“I’ve been camped near Area 51 and, oh my god it’s gone!”

Many conspiracists believe the top-secret air base in Nevada, US, is actually the home of alien mysteries.

And such footage of a strange object appearing to lift off from the base has further sparked claims online, after it was posted to YouTube.

“That's like some back to the future s***,” one wrote.

Another added: “You can see it travel to the left when it disappeared. It definitely moved at an insane amount of speed!”

A third commented: “Looks more like something that teleported.”

But other viewers weren’t as convinced, questioning how the man managed to get close to one of the most secretive locations on the planet.

And a fourth simply suggested: “It’s a helicopter.”
