Footage of an Iranian missile test is being passed around the web, but not for the reasons you would think.

The footage was being shown to American audiences when someone noticed that there appears to be a flying object that moves past the screen at incredible speeds; visibly cutting through the cloud in the background.

UFO? yes. It is unidentified.

Out of this world craft? Maybe, maybe not.

I’m sure the top secret technology of our drone planes or spy planes of our military is something that could rival the speeds shown here. Maybe this craft is not even American. Either way, it’s an interesting piece of footage.

A UFO streaks through the sky in this astonishing video of the Iranians test firing a controversial missile.

The mystery object zooms unseen through Iran’s airspace — before splitting a cloud in two as the film focuses in on the soaring rocket.

A UFO expert today described the unknown craft — which appears to be tracking the weapon — as “phenomenal”.

Iran launched two short-range missiles last Saturday — angering the West and Israel.

A US report on Fox News revealed the UFO in footage of the second launch.

The video shows the Shahab-3 rocket soaring into the sky.

But after 38 seconds a nearby cloud is mysteriously torn in two by a flying object travelling at speed.

Nick Pope, a respected former UFO analyst for the Ministry of Defence, examined the remarkable footage.

He hinted that whatever ripped through the cloud was not man made.

He said: “One theory is that it’s a secret American drone. At any time there are prototype aircraft and drones being operated that won’t be shown in public for years.

“Stealth aircraft flew for many years before their existence was acknowledged.

“But the speed and acceleration seems phenomenal. I’m not convinced we’ve got anything capable of such manoeuvres.”
