THIS is the jaw-dropping moment a UFO soars across the sky during a solar eclipse as spectators scream “what the f*** was that?”.
The crowd had gathered in Texas to watch the spectacle unfold but ended up getting far more than they bargained for.

The clip – posted on Reddit – shows a dark object dart across the screen and disappearing behind some clouds before it re-emerges again.
One person can be heard screaming: “Woah there’s something flying through the air what the f*** was that,” while another shouts: “It’s aliens it’s aliens.”
The post was captioned: “This UFO appeared in Texas during the eclipse.
“This is mind-blowing 11-second UFO footage that has a disc and a cigar.”
The video has caused a stir among redditors and although some were excited by it others were more cynical.
One person wrote: “I love this kind of videos you can clearly hear emotions in multiple peoples voices.
“It gives it a little more credibility in my eyes.”
Another reckoned the UFO was “Some kind of small aircraft just above the clouds. probably recreational drone.”
While a third commented: “Frame by frame enhanced I don’t know what to think.
“It looks like a person or something flying. The object goes into the cloud and comes out the other side, fast.
“Maybe it’s some optical illusion but it’s fun to speculate whatever it is.”
THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
The celestial show swept across the globe and delighted stargazers around the world – although some felt a little short-changed.
A full eclipse graced Mexico the US and Canada but crowds in the UK only caught a small glimpse of the action as the sun was only partially covered.
Cloudy conditions meant the view was marred for millions, while those in the US were left starry-eyed.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth.
It casts a shadow on Earth that either fully or partially blocks the sun’s light in some areas, resulting in either a total or partial eclipse.
Stargazers across the globe gathered hoping to see a spectacle – this image was snapped in New York[/caption] In some countries like Mexico – where this picture was taken – the eclipse completely covered the sun[/caption]
