Circular in shape, the object appeared to be flying against the wind despite possessing no apparent means of propulsion and local air traffic control reported that it hadn't picked anything up.

Any suggestion?? Nothing seen by local ATC... 👽?? pic.twitter.com/Hu07DLmn3z

South Wales Police were in fact so perplexed by the sighting that they posted the video on Twitter (see above) to ask the general public for suggestions as to what it might have been.

"It's difficult to judge the size but we filmed it for just over seven minutes," they wrote.
