The new video was allegedly recorded by an amateur stargazer before being uploaded to YouTube.

UFO websites have picked up the tape and some believe it offers compelling evidence.

Scott C Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily, said: "This was recorded last week, a fleet of UFOs landing on our moon.

"This person caught a lot of them. Most digital cameras today have a digital and optical zoom. Optical is high quality, digital is computer generated, so combined, you can get a great photo of the moon with a 50X total zoom or better."
