Over the past week, residents of Cornwall have reported seeing a strange shimmering object in the sky which some believe is proof that extraterrestrials are visiting.

The odd phenomenon was first spotted on Monday by surfer Kiefer Krishnan, who caught it on his Go-Pro camera, and uploaded it to Instagram with the caption: “Looking through the GoPro footage and found the Strangest sighting at the end of the vid.”

Since then, a flurry of videos were uploaded to social media sites, all of which were spotted in different locations across the southwestern tip of England.

Harry Wild wrote on Twitter: “Odd sighting at #Fistral today. Anyone else see it? #ufocornwall”.
