Back in the 50s, aliens used to fly around in flying saucers, and do unspeakable things to victims in lonely places with their probes.

National lockdown 'could be announced in next week' as cases surge

But it seems that saucer-shaped spacecraft may have come back in vogue – as an actual, genuine 50s spacship flew past.

Tireless UFO spotter Tyler Glockner from YouTube channel Secure Team said, ‘It can only be described as some sort of flying disc-like shaped UFO, that was spotted hovering in the distance behind the international space station before darting away at a very high rate of speed.

‘This is one of the most commonly seen and spoken about craft by hundreds and thousands of people over Earth, in space and above the moon.




‘This thing moves as if it knew the camera was watching it and it was in the frame before it picks up speed before finally shrinking due to the law of perspective before blasting backwards.’

Other observers were more sceptical.

Such sightings happen with surprising regularity – and NASA has repeatedly said they’re just distortions in the lens, not alien craft parking at the ISS.

Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual says, ‘The constant ‘sightings’ of UFOs near the ISS are mainly due to reflections and space junk, and it is down to wishful thinking that images sent back from the space station are of alien craft.
