Some genuinely quite eery footage look to show an nameless flight object ( UFO ) has emerge over the last few days from Shanghai . Unlike mostUFO footage , it is clear , crisp , and has been captured by multiple witness .

The footage shows a triangular physical object that appear to be in the clouds over the Chinese city . witnesser register it for several minutes as it remained there , overhead .

So far , so creepy-crawly . The videos instigate venture about motherships from UFO conspiracy type .

" I had a mini version of those triangle baddies hover above my head for a square two minutes when I was out for a trot with my girlfriend 5 days ago . It had a elephantine ruby-red rope at the middle,“one Redditor wrote . " It run low zoom zoom away . "

" I ’ve see one very similar and I Live in NY . dead giant smutty triangle obscure than the night sky with a faint whitened lite in each corner and a weird almost “ vibrating ” orangish - flushed Christ Within in the centre of it . Moved across the sky right in front of me and a friend very slowly , almost just range along , " another wrote . " We stared at it for maybe a min before it vanished in front of us . It was insane . "

The video also pull in the attention of more sceptical common people . YouTube line Burbex went to the site where one of the videos was recorded , to see if they could crack the case .

Heading towards the building , they found that the police force would not let them past . This deform out to be a gas leak , however , rather than the Men In Black doing a cleanup . They eventually   got to where they believe   that   the footage was filmed , due to the acoustics and angle of other surrounding building .

Here , the presenter began replicating the movements of the initial camera operator , so as to prove and incur the exact spot where the UFO appeared . However , he was complain out before he could get a night dig , and maybe get a look at the UFO .

However , when heading to another spot where the second piece of footage may have been film , he got drunk with a local bar possessor , who get out his phone and provided a shot of a UFO that look strikingly exchangeable to the one that ’s caused all the fuss . It was lead on a different date and showed clearly what the reservoir was : a shadow . Yeah .

As see with the Statue of Liberty below , a lustrous lighting shone on an objective on a cloudy night can cause this illusion .

The triangle shape of the edifice casting the shadower made citizenry think UFO , whereas the maker of the Statue of Liberty were sensible and went for a much less convincing " tempestuous god towers above New York " vibe , which is more hard to misidentify for alien .
