Elon Musk knows a lot about tunnels, spaceships and the grave threat artificial intelligence poses to the future of humanity.

But does he also know about the existence of aliens?

Sadly, we can’t answer this question and the latest claims from UFO hunters are unlikely to help us do so either.

The famous YouTube channel SecureTeam10 and ThirdPhaseOfMoon have both uploaded videos showing a mysterious ‘craft’ appearing behind a SpaceX Dragon that’s on its way to the International Space Station.

It’s been suggested that the craft is either alien in origin or perhaps even a top-secret (and possibly non-existent) spy plane called the TR-3B, which is also known as a ‘Black Triangle’.



Although this craft has never actually been officially confirmed or observed by unequivocally reliable sources, it has achieved legendary status among conspiracy theorists.

‘Could this be the infamous TR-3B up in space visiting up close?’ asked one narrator of the ThirdPhaseOfMoon video

‘This thing’s huge. Notice the portals underneath – it definitely matches the characteristics of a TR-3B.

‘It’s going be hard to suppress this.’

Unfortunately, an explanation has now been offered for the sighting.

On social media, an alien debunking account called UFO of Interest said the SpaceX video probably showed a city on Earth appearing behind the spacecraft.

Elon Musk was at the heart of another bizarre alien claim earlier this week.

A world-famous UFO spotter suggested that he secretly sent a weird robotic ‘creature’ to Mars on a mission to investigate Nasa’s Red Planet Rover.

‘Is it just me or have I just found a mini alien robot wandering around the Mars Curiosity rover?’ asked Scott C. Waring.

Sorry mate: it’s just you.
