Last year a tikToker's sighting of a gigantic "UFO" floating in the sky shocked social media. The video soon became viral and many people shared their views on the platform.
People Terrified After Spotting Huge 'UFO' Hovering In Sky
TikToker @neshahiggins posted a video of what appears to be a flying saucer in the clouds in the sky.
Naturally, the video gained popularity.
The TikToker in the video questioned, "What the f**k is that?" it was posted last year.
Additionally, viewers were in fright. Someone wrote: "Y’all can say it’s not real or not, clouds, etc but when those UFOs really start showing it’s finally over (crying face emoji) they coming closer and closer."
"STAAAAPPP!!! This not cool!" a second demanded.
Another said: "Well s**t it's finally happening."
Another Twitter user became famous after humorously tagging the video in a tweet with the following message: "@JordanPeele’s Marketing is always top tier #NopeMovie."
For those who don't know, she's referring to Jordan Peele's horror movie Nope from 2022.
The description of the acclaimed film featuring Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun reads: "Caretakers at a California horse ranch encounter a mysterious force that affects human and animal behavior."
Additionally, the director responded to the popular TikTok in a fairly clever way and said he had nothing to do with it.
"That one's not mine," he wrote.
IMAX got involved with the fun too, tweeting: "We told them to come down to Earth NEXT Friday, not this Friday."
Notably, there will always be skeptics who argue that the initial TikTok report of the 'UFO sighting' was just a lenticular cloud.
People often prefer to go ahead of themselves and say that lenticular clouds seem like UFOs.
According to earthsky.org's Deborah Byrd: "These lens-shaped clouds typically form where stable moist air flows over a mountain or a range of mountains.”
"When this happens, a series of large-scale standing waves may form on the mountain’s downwind side. If the temperature at the crest of the wave drops to the dew point, moisture in the air may condense to form lenticular clouds."
She added: "As the moist air moves back down into the trough of the wave, the cloud may evaporate back into vapor. So lenticular clouds can appear and disappear relatively quickly. Plus they’re not familiar to people who live in low-lying or flat terrain.”
"And, just to confound things, lenticular clouds have also been known to form in non-mountainous places, as the result of shear winds created by a front. For all of these reasons, lenticular clouds are often mistaken for UFOs (or “visual cover” for UFOs)."
It appears that this UFO may have finally been found.
