EXTRATERRESTRIAL fans have slammed the space agency NASA after a live feed was pulled seconds after a glowing ‘flying disc’ was spotted.

Furious UFO chasers have accused the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of hiding the truth after the webcam, showing a mysterious small white object, cut out.

The Mirror reports the ‘glowing disk’ was spotted on NASA’s live webcam from the International Space Station.

Space enthusiasts, monitoring the camera, were the first to report the strange object on August 4.

“I took a screenshot of the UFO and enlarged it. It has a long line down its middle and a dome on its top, but is rectangle (sic) on its lower bottom,” Scott Waring, a blogger from UFO Sightings Daily said.

Another user added: “Really neat that you caught them going to blue screen as the object comes closer you can almost imagine the person that sensors saying, ‘oh-no not another’. “It screams we’re guilty of hiding the truth ... C’mon NASA employees stand up and tell us what your company is doing.”

“NASA’s still up to shenanigans as usual,” one said.
