The video, captured on Saturday, shows a large black figure hovering across the skyline.

The UFO appears to remain at the same height and, according to a witness, it "did not float away like a balloon".

The spectator told MUFON, a non-profit organisation who investigate this kind of incident, that they "just observed this in Houston, Texas".

"Object was moving north-northwest and was keeping the same elevation and didn't move like balloons," the witness added.

"Much larger, vertical structure like a floating tower with a pointed tip at the top.

"Don't know what the Hell that was. Freaking out a bit."

The clip has since been shared on YouTube channel TexasUFOs, where the presenter speculated if it could be more than your average UFO sighting.

She said: "We see a very large and dark black craft moving across the sky at a steady rate of speed and going in a straight line.

"It looks to be taller than it is wide.

"For now the question remains, what could this be?

"Could it be a helicopter, or a plane, or a top secret military craft or spaceship?"

Since the video was uploaded yesterday, it has already racked up more than 2,000 hits and viewers were quick to link the sighting to a United States Air Force black project.

One comment read: "Looks like a drone with something rigged-up below."

And another added: "I totally agree. A drone with some kind of contraption."

It is not the first time conspiracy theorists have claimed to have spotted the same thing, though.

Earlier this month, concerns were raised following a similar sighting in Florida.
