In the clip, a small, pipe-shaped object can be seen floating around the clear blue sky in Denton, Manchester.
Perhaps this isn't that surprising -
Manchester was named the UFO capital of Britain earlier this year.
Adorned with lights that flash from white, to blue, to purple, the mysterious object is long and narrow, rather than the disc-shape commonly associated with UFOs.
The strange sight was caught on camera as the object flew "higher than planes," according to the owner of the footage.
Posting the clip on social media, he wrote: "Knowing how high it appeared in the sky, I'm guessing its size was massive."
He added the possible UFO was visible in the sky for around 40 minutes before it flew so high it could no longer be seen.
The video, which has resurfaced online after being first posted in 2011, has garnered significant attention from believers in aliens and the supernatural.
