A UFO was filmed over the Thames Estuary in London on Feb. 5, according to a video uploaded to Youtube.

The UFO, with several bright lights, appears to hover above the water. The person who uploaded the video wrote in the video description that the lights “seemed too bright for a boat […] and looked like it was above the water.”

Some viewers commented that the UFO might be a ship or an oil rig, and complained about the video not giving a reference of the water, which led the uploader to later upload longer videos, in which the camera zoomed out and showed the UFO slightly above the water’s horizon. From these videos we can also confirm that the shakiness of the footage is caused by a 40 times zoom.

Some also suggested that the video is a distorted footage of a plane landing, but UFO seems to have no movement throughout the video, which makes it unlikely to be an airplane about to land.
