Stunning video footage of the super moon, which shows an apparent UFO flying past the spectacle, has sparked a furious online debate about the existence of aliens.
In a YouTube video posted by David McCarty, a disc-shaped object can be seen flying across the supermoon on Nov. 14. Up to date, the video has been viewed more than 48,000 times.
“The November 2016 Beaver moon supermoon was the largest supermoon since 1948,” McCarty said in his YouTube video.
“I thought this would be a special thing to film but when I was reviewing the video in full screen I noticed something even more impressive.
“I had caught a ‘UFO’ passing in front of the supermoon! Watch carefully at about 00:51 for it to pass along the bottom of the lunar disc.”
Some viewers were convinced this was a visit from aliens.
Kaun Australis said: “Amazing clip! The moon light seems to follow the UFO as it passes over the edge! Never seen anything like it!”
Lynda Maddison posted: “What a fantastic video, well done… can’t deny that is a UFO crossing the moon such good clarity.”
Allureby Jones added: “When’s the best time for a UFO to show itself? When millions and millions of people are all looking at the same thing!”
But others had numerous explanations for the weird sight.
One said it was a bird, while Jonathan Bardsley said: “It’s a jet with the exhaust distorting the light of the moon.”
McCarty even posted what he thought it could be – a satellite.
He said: “It’s a distinct possibility that it is the International Space Station or some other large satellite passing between the earth and moon.
“There are numerous large military satellites in orbit.”

LOL. That’s a bug walking on the lens. The little trail of light at the end seems impressive, but it’s just an artifact from the extreme focus difference between the moon foreground and the insect up close. Look at when the bug enters the bright moon, you see the same little trail but the other way around.
