A witness out for a stroll in Washington state captured some mesmerizing footage of an odd UFO shimmering in the sky. The peculiar sighting reportedly occurred in mid-July, though only came to light this past week. According to the individual who filmed the strange scene, they were "on a late morning walk" when they "noticed a flashing, reflective orb that would move slightly up, down, left and right." As seen in their video above, the shape of the metallic-looking object is rather difficult to discern as it shimmers in a fashion somewhat resembling the element mercury in its liquid form.
The witness went on to say that after moving around in the sky, the eerily silent UFO "would then appear to stop in place," though it was "always moving in a general northern direction." As for what the weird object might have been, setting aside the extraterrestrial hypothesis, a prosaic explanation for the oddity might be that it is a Mylar balloon, which would explain its reflectivity as well as the manner in which it moved in the sky while seemingly drifting in a specific direction.
