An unusually clear video has been published showing the mysterious object descending above her home.

Colleen McCormack had been relaxing outside her home in Pembroke, Massachusetts at 9 p.m. earlier this week when she became aware of a peculiar object in the sky above.

Grabbing her phone, she recorded a short clip of the object descending through the clouds.

Resembling a dark, vertical cylinder with lights, the UFO seemed to be moving too slowly to be a piece of falling space debris or a meteorite and seemed to be under some semblance of intelligent control.

“It looked like it was on fire or something,” McCormack told WFXT-TV.

“I have no idea what it could have been.”

“My heart was pounding because I just looked up. I’m like oh god what is about to happen right now?”

“It was really quiet. You couldn’t like really hear anything. That’s why I was just like more confused. When stuff flies over all the time, you hear it.”

The FAA declined to comment on the video but noted that there had been no reports of debris.
