In a video posted online, a mysterious object seems to appear above the planet.

The glowing object – which appears blueish in hue with a white centre – can be seen in the background of NASA’s live feed.

As the camera zooms in, the alarming size of it becomes clearer as it towers over the planet.

Bright-blue gases surrounding the figure seem to shift and change on the screen, appearing in the background behind the International Space Station.

But NASA’s feed is promptly cut short, reading: “Please stand by.

“The High Definition Earth Viewing experiment is either switching cameras, or we are experiencing a temporary loss of signal with the International Space Station.”

Unsurprisingly, the unexpected cut left conspiracy theorists up in arms.

One stunned viewer wrote: “That was a weird looking blob next to the space station?”

Another added: "NASA is lying."

A third argued the object could be a “space ice ball”, with viewers noticing the object looked like “a drop of water in zero gravity”.

But this is by no means the first time the ISS feed has picked up on something strange in the earth’s atmosphere.

Earlier this year, viewers noticed a white object floating across the International Space Station’s live feed.

It is not just space where UFOs have been seen in recent months.

Footage surfaced earlier today of a bizarre triangular-shaped object hovering over Ohio.

Earlier this week, there were fears an alien portal had opened up in Australia during a thunderstorm.

It comes after Daily Star Online revealed how alien technology may have been used in the biblical story of the walls of Jericho.

In an exclusive pre-release look at Blaze's new Ancient Alien series, conspiracists claimed the fabled Ark of the Covenant held extraterrestrial powers.

And it all started with Moses.
