This extraordinary footage appears to show the flashing lights of a UFO hovering in the night sky above a woman's home.

The object was recorded by paranormal investigator Angela Ashton before appearing to shoot upwards and disappear.

She shot the strange scene above the town of Lewisburg in Mississippi, US yesterday.

Ms Ashton is convinced the object she saw was extraterrestrial.

She said. "I don't know what else it could be."

Ashton saw the object just after midnight, WMC-TV reports.

She said: "It was at least the size of a football field.

"I was laying in my bed and I have a huge window that goes across the wall of my bedroom. And I saw a bright blinding light. I mean it was huge."

She told the TV station that the UFO was soundless as it hovered above the field before disappearing.

The clip, which is only a few seconds long, comes after a video emerged showing a purple-coloured alien-style 'aircraft' in Peru.

A stunned TV crew captured the footage in Lima, Peru, with authorities unable to explain the mysterious object.

An episode of Peruvian show Alto al Crimen was being filmed in the Miraflores district of Lima at the time, with Congressman Renzo Reggiardo being interviewed.

Production was abruptly however halted when crew saw the UFO in the sky.
