Seemingly made of metal, the 'UFO' measured several meters in diameter and was held on to the back of the truck with heavy-duty straps to stop it falling off during transport.

Opinions on the mystery have been mixed to say the least.

"The Argentine economy must be really bad to carry an intact UFO on the roads in plain sight," said one commenter, while another suggested that a lack of suitable aircraft might be the reason.Others, meanwhile, distanced themselves from the UFO angle, instead suggesting that the object was part of a communications system or some other industrial installation.

This story echoes another instance of a large, disc-shaped object seen on the back of a truck in Argentina which occurred back in 2016. You can check out the story and video - here.

At the time, the 'UFO' was also deemed most likely to be some sort of industrial component.
