Drivers on a busy motorway were left stunned after spotting a mysterious fireball shooting through the sky in broad daylight.

The strange burst of light appeared at 8.41am as commuters were making their way to work along a carriageway in Phong Phet, Thailand.

In the clip, the sky is bright blue when the light is seen over the houses towards the right-hand side of the screen, travelling towards the ground at high speed.

It glows brightly for several seconds before suddenly disappearing out of sight.

The video was uploaded to YouTube on September 7 by Poraj Jaturongkhakun and has already clocked up more than 156,900 views.

One YouTube viewer wrote: "Wow, that looked incredible, I hope no one is hurt," while another simply added: "Aliens!"
