A UFO was spotted near the International Space Station and NASA tried to cover it up, according to wild claims online. 

Video footage shows the bizarre anomaly that was spotted during NASA's live feed from space – which some think could be a UFO or alien spaceship.

The clip reveals the moment the space agency's second camera appeared to pixellate during the broadcast.

Then, a few seconds later, a white-coloured object can be seen passing in the bottom-left corner.

"I don't think it is part of the ISS, it definitely seems alien-like to me," an anonymous source revealed.
