The 2024 solar eclipse has been and gone, and sky-watchers across Mexico, the United States, and Canada enjoyed spectacular views, but those looking up in Texas believed they’d seen something else – a UFO.
What was thought to be a UFO was spotted over Arlington Texas, US during the solar eclipse yesterday (8 April).
Numerous people in the crowd were heard exclaiming and muttering expletives as the camera panned across the sky to get a better shot of the ‘UFO’ as it disappeared into the clouds.

In fact, the solar eclipse appears to have been missed from the footage entirely shared on X by Matt Wallace.
The total solar eclipse began over the South Pacific Ocean and passed over 13 US states.
Total solar eclipses are relatively rare, happening only once every one or two years.
Put simply, a total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth.
The result is that the moon completely blocks the face of the Sun.
“The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk,” says NASA of the celestial event.
Despite the event being filmed here, NASA warned against using a phone to capture the solar event because of the damage it can cause to a camera lens, as well as the naked eye.
The next total solar eclipse that will be seen from the contiguous United States will be on 23 August 2044.
Some who saw the UFO footage were unconvinced.
“Shadow on the clouds from an higher altitude airplane. I have seen this many times as an aviation spotter,” said one commenter.
And, after the CIA confirmed that most UFO activity at Area 51 can be explained away by military aircraft, it looks like they might be right.
However, there has to be even a small chance that there could be aliens involved, right?
The truth is out there – keep watching the skies.
