A man was convinced he’d spotted a cloud hiding an alien spaceship after he noticed the surface appeared to be ‘reflective’.

Anthony Sakowski was baffled by his discovery, which he spotted in the sky while driving in Arizona.

He films the strange saucer-shaped cloud for over two minutes while driving along a country road.

Alongside the footage, Anthony wrote: “Strange cloud hiding UFO . Reflected above.”

He added: “UFO reflected on haze above.”

Anthony published the video on YouTube on January 6 although the exact date and time of the sighting is unknown.

The clip has now been viewed more than 5,400 times.

Most viewers were convinced that Anthony had simply spotted a lenticular cloud , which are stationary lens-shaped clouds and have often been mistaken for UFO sightings.

But UFO hunter Scott Waring, of UFO Sightings Daily disagreed, saying: “The UFO was noticed when the sun lit it up and caused a disk reflection above it on the clouds.

“Only a metal reflective surface could do this, and, as you see, the dark area of the cloud is the actual UFO.”
