The Internet is abuzz over an alleged UFO sighting in the night sky over Oakland, California.
Three fast-moving dots of light can be seen travelling close together in a video posted on YouTube by a KevinMC360.
The 'UFO squadron' shows the three lights in a triangular pattern spotted on May 26.
Cynics claim the cameraman has merely captured a flock of birds, but Kevin insists the sighting was genuine.
In the film, he follows a plane as a point of reference.
'For all you bird lovers out there you can call them geese, if you like, but I will only laugh at you,' he said.
The UFO video has already attracted more than 2,500 viewings.
He posted it a year after claiming to have filmed 'a group of spacecraft' over Oakland.
'I got them. There was a squadron of spacecraft,' he claimed in the video, which shows five lights in a V-formation.
That video has been viewed more than 23,780 times.

The World for People who Think
It is pretty obvious that he is catching craft in formation. But are they ours?
I don't know why anyone would bother to call them "birds." But "bird" is a slang term for an aircraft.
I can imagine them being our own jets. After what I've been reading I can easily imagine that we could make an aircraft that could do this. They have to have a propulsion system that radiates IR. And jets get hot, so they would radiate IR.
The classic stories of alien craft do not describe them as flying the way winged aircraft fly. They can move around at will, change speeds almost instantly. These craft seem to be just flying along quite high. Their outlines look like they have wings, so I would guess they are winged craft, or "birds" in the parlance. The wingless craft are called "bogies," though that really refers to any unidentified radar blip.
