The perplexing incident occurred over Egypt during a recent routine flight of a Boeing 747 airliner.
They say that pilots make for some of the best witnesses of the UFO phenomenon and this latest sighting, which was filmed and uploaded by Captain Ruud Van Pangemanan during a routine flight over Egypt, is certainly one of the most interesting we've seen in a while.
The footage, which was recorded at around 5am local time, shows a bright light that seemed to dance around outside the cockpit and that was observed by several members of the flight crew.
The video shows the object appearing, disappearing and moving around over an extended period of time.
"We thought the light was a plane, but it wasn't on our radar," the captain said.
"Then we thought maybe it was a star, but the stars twinkled quickly and the stars didn't move."
He also went on to rule out the possibility that the object was a satellite due to its strange movements.
"The light of the UFO in front of us moves freely," he noted.
The footage, which you can view below, is definitely worth a watch and unlike many UFO videos these days, it doesn't try to oversell the sighting but instead offers it up as a fascinating, light-hearted mystery.
"Please figure it out yourself, maybe you can identify th[e] flying object," the caption states.
The UFO shows up at around 20:53 on the video - everything before that is routine activity.
