An intriguing piece of footage from India shows what appears to be an illuminated flying saucer hovering in the night sky. The odd object was reportedly filmed on Monday evening by a witness in the city of Chennai. In the video, the UFO initially seems to be a singular light out on the horizon. However, when the camera zooms in on the object, one can see that it is illuminated by a ring of lights. Alas, the footage ultimately ends with no indication of what became of the weird object after the witness spotted it in the sky.

As one might imagine, various theories have been offered by viewers online as to what the eye-catching UFO could have been. While many marveled at the possibility that the object was otherworldly in nature, more skeptical observers have suggested that the aerial anomaly was simply a drone or perhaps a lighted balloon. Meanwhile, others compared the curious craft to a similar illuminated UFO that was seen cruising over an Iranian city earlier this summer. What do you think was filmed in India on Monday evening?
