Footage of a mysterious flying object with a spinning fiery thruster has sent shockwaves through the UFO community.
The clip appears to show an unknown craft similar in shape and design to spaceships seen in the hit film Independence Day.
The UFO-like item also seems to have a fiery thruster on the back that burns with different intensities.
At one point, the blazing thruster starts spinning and the entire UFO turns into a fireball in the sky.
The blaze then subsides into a spinning line of flames.
The video was originally filmed by a local resident on their phone in the borough of Cerro, Havana, Cuba, in 2019 but re-surfaced on social media – going viral after Cuban journalist, Juan Manuel Cao, 62, shared it on his AmericaTeVe Miami channel.
Cao said: “It’s the closest thing to a flying saucer I’ve ever seen and it’s not a dot in the sky, it’s clearly visible.”
Former US Intelligence Officer, Colonel Octavio Pérez appeared on the show to add his thoughts to the clip.
He said the aircraft possibly uses an anti-gravitational system, suggesting it could be extraterrestrial or a spy plane adapted from alien technology.
One viewer commented: “Those US military ships using alien technology are everywhere.”
Another said: “At first it looks blurry, but then the object becomes very clear. It is one of the best images I have ever seen.”
Monterey UFOs remarked: “Amazing!”
Paranormal Tenerife wrote: “This is one of the clips that caught my attention the most. It has a different design to the typical.”
The viral video comes amid a growing wave of statements and testimonies in the US about the existence of UFOs.
Former US intelligence official David Grusch recently claimed before Congress that the government maintains a secret UFO recovery program and is in possession of “non-human” spacecraft and “dead pilots”.
The Havana sighting and recent revelations in the US have fuelled growing speculation about the existence of extraterrestrial life and the role of governments in concealing such information.
