Australian police are stumped after they captured bizarre footage of what appears to be an unidentified flying object (UFO).

Western Australia Police couldn't help but notice the rather unusual object upon reviewing vision of a storm that erupted over a beach in the town of Broome on Saturday night.

Bolts of lighting can be seen erupting in the sky before a mysterious object comes into view in the left-hand corner of the screen.

The UFO can be seen hovering for a few moments before disappearing from the screen.
