Moments after the lightning struck a UFO appeared to plunge out of the sky trailing a streak of light.

Conner said: “I can’t say that I have encountered anything like this before.

“I’ve never really recorded the skies or anything and that day of the storm, I really felt the need to record.

After sharing the footage online, numerous UFO watchers compared it to HG Wells’ famous sci-fi novel, The War of the Worlds, in which a meteor crashes on Earth carrying hostile aliens.

One viewer said: “Looks like when the Martians lightning bolted into the ground.”

“It’s an alien spacecraft,” said another.

Debate ensued over whether Conner had actually filmed a regular meteor with many questioning whether it would move so quickly across the sky.

Some argued it was ball lightning, an unexplained and unproven phenomenon whose existence has been attested to by witnesses going back for centuries.
