Bizarre video footage has emerged of a humanoid figure floating in Australia's skies.

It's not exactly clear what the object is but it is black and appears to be human-shaped.

The video was posted recently on Facebook and a voice over that accompanies it says it was taken in Sydney last month, with the bizarre sighting lasting around five minutes.

The strange object can be see hovering in the sky. It briefly disappears before reappearing, then disappearing for good.
