Illuminated by the red-hot glow, the UFO seems to begin tumbling through the air uncontrollably after loitering for a few seconds.

The blazing thruster then appears to transform into an unstoppable fireball as it continues to rotate.

Cuban journalist Juan Manuel Cao, 62, shared his thoughts on the strange sighting on his AmericaTeVe Miami channel.

He told viewers: “It’s the closest thing to a flying saucer I’ve ever seen and it’s not a dot in the sky, it’s clearly visible.”

The clip has also been applauded by bigwigs in the UFO community across the world.
