  • UFO expert Scott Waring claimed to have spotted an alien vessel flying near the ISS
  • The video of the alleged UFO was captured using NASA's live ISS cameras
  • The alleged UFO was shaped like a doughnut 

A UFO expert claimed to have spotted a circular alien vessel flying near the International Space Station (ISS). According to the expert, NASA allegedly spotted the object and zoomed in on it using the station’s live camera.

Claims about a UFO flying near the ISS were made by Scott Waring in a recent blog post on ET DataBase. Waring said he saw the strange object while he was watching the live feed captured by the cameras mounted on the ISS.

In the video, Waring spotted an object that appears to be hovering behind the ISS. The object appeared like a bright light in space. After a couple of minutes into the video, Waring noted that the screen suddenly showed a blue screen. According to NASA, this usually occurs when the cameras encounter a loss of signal.

“While watching the ISS, I noticed that a small glowing light was noticeable in the distance over the two radar dishes,” Waring stated in a blog post. “But unsure of how useful the UFO was since it’s hard to see, I assumed that maybe it wasn't worth reporting...but then as I went further into the footage, I noticed that NASA went to blue screen.”

The UFO expert then said that NASA switched to a different camera to continue the live feed. When the clip resumed, the camera focused on the strange object behind the ISS. The shape of the object became more distinct as NASA’s camera zoomed in on it.

As seen in the video, the object had a circular shape with a hole in the middle. Waring noted that the object was shaped like a doughnut.

“They went to a new camera and you can clearly see the space station put the UFO in the center of the screen and then enlarge it to maximum size,” Waring stated. “When it is zoomed in on, the object looks like a giant alien doughnut UFO.”

Although Waring believes that the object was an alien vessel, YouTube users who saw the video commented that its appearance might have been caused by a minor technical issue in the optics or lens of NASA’s camera.

NASA, on the other hand, did not release a statement to acknowledge the claims made by Waring.
