This video shows a UFO hurtling through the sky over Liverpool?.

The mysterious footage was taken by taxi driver Paul Douglas.

He spotted the object while driving down Upper Parliament Street in the city towards the waterfront when he saw something unusual in the sky above Mariners Wharf on Monday night.

Paul, from Aigburth, said: "It was about 10.20 and I was driving when I saw something strange in the sky.

"It was over the marina and it was just a mad object in the sky.

"It sort of looked like a drone but it also had three green lights on it.”

Taxi-driver Paul said he pulled over in amazement at what was drifting through the sky and started filming the object as it moved closer towards land then back out towards the water, the Liverpool Echo reports.

He added: "It was hovering over the water and I tried to follow it in the car as I was coming down Upper Parliament Street.

"As it was hovering, the birds were making a funny noise and going a bit mad.

"Then after a couple of minutes it started going out towards the water again.

"It was pretty high in the sky as it was floating over the water.

"I went to the waterfront to ask two fishermen if they saw it as it moved on but they didn’t."

Paul described seeing three green lights sitting horizontally across the object.

He added: "It looked a bit like horizontal traffic lights.

"There were three green lights and then one different coloured light on the end."
