A supermoon-loving stargazer managed to capture what he claimed to be a UFO when viewing the moon in Surprise, Arizona on Saturday night.

On November 12, there were two amazing objects that passed by the moon, according to a posting on YouTube by Rondomon.

"While taking video of the Supermoon, with NexStar 6se telescope, UFOs do a fly by," the cameraman explained.

"After zooming in on the moon I walk away and sure enough UFOs start flying by," he explained. The UFOs appear to have distortion surrounding them, perhaps bending light."

He has even given details of his device: "Camera was a Sony CX500V HandyCam HD, 5X optical zoom, manual focus at .9m, maxview 40 lens for a 38X telescope magnification."

Blogger Scott C Waring called it odd. "A UFO in orbit that has a haze mist around it. The object is solid, because if it was transparent, we would see the light of the moon through it," he said. "I believe that the field around it is due to the alien propulsion, because the haze has been seen in thousands of UFO photos before.

A number of commentators have agreed that the sighting is a ufo. An Anonymous commentator wrote that he saw a strange object pass by the supermoon on November 13, from Phoenix in Arizona: "While stepping outside to take a look at the Supermoon, I also witnessed a UFO in orbit around the bottom left of the moon. Seen from a naked eye, with no telescope, it appeared to look exactly like the video posted above. I could see what appeared to be a black dot flying or passing around the front of the moon for minutes at a time. My boyfriend explained it to look as if it was a little black ant crawling on the moon. So strange but very real."

Other commentators have dismissed the phenomenon as just "Helium balloons."

A user called Jugganaut7 feels that they were just leaves blowing over the camera's lens. He said: "You can tell what you caught on film was way too close to be in space because the focus was way off. So, by all accounts, it is the definition of a UFO, but it really just looks like a leaf blowing in the wind."
