A spherical UFO has been spotted hovering over New Jersey in new jaw-dropping footage.
An unidentified Reddit user took to the site to share a video of a shiny object flying over a construction site in Florence, New Jersey, on Monday.
The small circular object was captured on camera at around 2pm flying quickly across the sky and appeared to be rotating.
The user, who is known as Chesapeakefitness1 on the platform, said they noticed the object moments after hearing a 'loud jet sound,' which caused them to look up.
While other users suspected it was a Mylar balloon - commonly used at birthday parties - caught up in a gust of wind, the Redditor pushed back against the theory.
Others said it was moving too fast to be a Mylar balloon and appeared to be 'mechanically controlled'.

'The object is hard to see being small, but it is too unusual to be a balloon. Mylar usually reflects sunlight, but this might have its own light?' one questioned.
Another simply observed: 'Awesome footage. seems like a spinning sphere in a hurry.'
As for what the object actually was is yet to be determined.
New Jersey ranked fourth in Google searches for UFO activity, according to data analyzed in August.
New Jersey recorded 16,820 UFO-related queries - 18.1 per 10,000 people,
Neighboring New York had 37,260 monthly UFO-related search queries, or around 19.04 per 10,000 residents.
Massachusetts came in first, with 13,750 monthly Google queries related to the topic (or 19.64 searches per 10,000 people).
The Jersey sighting comes just days after a Las Vegas resident reportedly saw a bizarre cube-shaped object in the sky.
They claimed they had witnessed strange aerial lights in the area 'over 100 times' since June 2020, adding that these craft 'always seem to head toward Nellis Air Force base.'

For at least 17 nights last December, swarms of noisy small UFOs were seen 'moving at rapid speeds' and displaying 'flashing red, green, and white lights' within the highly restricted airspace over Virginia's Joint Base Langley–Eustis.
Vegas natives have posted videos confirming they too have seen more than one red, green or white UFO that 'wasn't flashing like a regular aircraft [or] like a satellite.'
Another witness, who documented one September 4, 2024, case from their own 60-night experience with the odd lights, hoped coming forward might help get answers.
'I live approximately 7 miles from Nellis,' they said. 'Past two months, every single night, I've seen numerous different things going on. Just wondering what it all is.'
General Glen VanHerck of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), has pled with the US Secretary of Defense to authorize electronic eavesdropping tools to get to the bottom of the Langley swarm.
The general, who led the mission to take down the infamous Chinese spy balloon in February 2023, described Langley's 'drone swarm' wave as unlike any other reported.
And speaking to the Senate Armed Services Committee this past March, General VanHerck's successor as the head of NORAD, Air Force General Gregory Guillot, told lawmakers that still more baffling UFO cases over US bases continue to mount.
'I wasn't prepared for the number of incursions that I see,' General Guillot confessed.
One Las Vegas witness, who documented their own months-long experience with the odd lights near Area 51 on Sept. 4, 2024, hoped coming forward might end their own confusion. Above, a still from that witness's video, dubbed Enigma #298748
'I lived under a commercial flight pattern near the airport, so I'm very familiar with what airplanes and conventional aircraft look and behave like,' one observer to a September 13, 2022 case (above) stated. 'This was not conventional,' they said of the 'very bright light'
While the new witnesses to the UFO sightings near Nellis were all civilians — working with consumer phone cameras and not the military-grade radar, infrared and NASA imaging tech deployed at Langley — their reports echo the Air Force's own experiences.
'They were flashing weirdly not [like] the normal navigation lights,' one witness reported in their submission to a UFO-spotting app run by start-up Enigma Labs.
'Typically sightings near bases such as Nellis and Area 51 where there are a lot of experimental aircraft being tested are assumed to be advanced technology under development,' Enigma Labs consultant Alejandro Rojas told DailyMail.com.
'However, given the admission that UAV are flying in secured airspace over other Air Force bases,' he noted, 'we need to take a closer look at these.'
Rojas, a seasoned UFO expert and cofounder of the nonprofit, told DailyMail.com that Enigma has received 'a lot of reports near Nellis Air Force Base.'
For those looking to witness 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' (UAP) for themselves, a new report listed the best spots to see a UFO as Phoenix, Arizona and New York City.
Phoeniz was famously home to one of the biggest UFO events in U.S. history, which occurred on March 13, 1997.
That night, hundreds of people reported seeing 'The Phoenix Lights'.
Phoenix has long been a hotbed of paranormal activity - with its most major, and widespread, account of UFO sightings happening on March 13, 1997
According to the recent study, July is best time of year to spot a UFO in New York, Ohio, Colorado and Oregon - with the most common time between 9 and 10 pm.
For states such as California and Arizona, November is reportedly the best month to watch the skies.
