A startling new video has captured a clear image of what one witness believes was a giant UFO flying over California.

The April 27 video taken by an unnamed resident in Twentynine Palms followed what appears to be a brightly-lit hexagonal craft as it flew over the desert.

The UFO reportedly appeared out of nowhere around 10:27 pm PT while the witness was staying at a remote cabin.

According to the report the witness made to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) two days later, the suspected spacecraft was moving very slowly and irregularly, like it was in a daze.

‘It seemed to move arbitrarily with no clear path. The movements were jerky and at varying speeds,’ the witness wrote in their NUFORC report.

The large object also appeared to pulsate, giving off a bright light from its edges, as it moved through the sky for approximately 15 minutes.

‘Tonight is the new moon – so it was definitely not the moon, and in any case was much brighter than even a full moon,’ the witness continued.

‘The striking thing was its great brightness and irregular shape and path,’ they added.

As the witness in Twentynine Palms followed the UFO, they added that the strange craft began to change shape – morphing from a six-sided object into a circle.

The person taking the cellphone video was the only witness at the cabin that night, so no one else was able to confirm their story.

However, they declared in their report to NUFORC that they hadn’t taken any ‘mind altering substances’ during the sighting and had clear vision the entire time.

Officials at NUFORC tried to find an explanation for the sighting, noting that a SpaceX rocket launch had taken place that day, but that Falcon 9 took off from in Florida three hours earlier.

A previous rocket launch created a similar phenomenon over the UK in March.

That bizarre shape was caused by illuminated frozen fuel expelled from the SpaceX rocket, experts revealed.

The light blue spiral is formed when excess fuel that has been released from the fast-spinning rocket turns to ice.

It then reflects the sunlight in the upper atmosphere – giving it an otherworldly gleam – before turning to water vapor.
