The UFO Phenomenon

Is this a UFO ? Truth behind viral 'UFO over Sweden' video clip revealed

A short clip showing a strange object moving rapidly across the sky has been doing the rounds on social media recently.
The footage, which appeared on Twitter, Facebook and TikTok earlier this month, quickly gained a great deal of attention and was shared far and wide by other users.

It shows, in grainy black and white, a strange oblong-shaped object traveling at considerable speed across an otherwise featureless sky and off into the distance.

The object has some sort of structure attached to its underside, sort of like the keel of a boat.

But is this really genuine footage of a UFO or is there an alternative explanation ?
It wasn't long before Reuters had posted up a fact check article in which it had traced the video back to an original post on February 6th by a user describing themselves as a "3D artist".

When the news agency reached out to the author, he told them that the footage was entirely fake and had been created using the 3D rendering software Blender.

In other words - it's safe to say that this is one mystery that has been well and truly solved.

You can check out the clip for yourself below.
