A baffling UFO sighting has recently left an astronomer in awe and confusion.

Despite his expertise, he remains unable to identify the mysterious phenomenon, sparking intrigue and speculation related to UFOs.
A UFO was spotted flying across the moon leaving an astronomer extremely baffled
Unlike typical accounts of alien sightings shared by everyday individuals or those recalling childhood encounters, this sighting comes from an expert in scientific photography, Dr. Sebastian Voltmer.
Dr. Voltmer, known for his astrophotography expertise, was filming the moon's surface on March 16th when he unexpectedly witnessed a fast and luminous object passing across his frame.
Astonished by the sighting, he shared several images and video clips of the event on Instagram, utilizing his powerful C11 telescope to capture the phenomenon.
Despite his extensive knowledge and scientific background, Dr. Voltmer admitted his unable to explain the nature of the object he encountered.
Countless speculations were posed regarding the mysterious object.
Initially, he speculated that it could have been a satellite or space station, he noted that its remarkable speed was highly uncommon for objects passing near the moon.
The absence of a discernible tail further discounted suggestions of it being a meteor, a theory proposed by some commenters on the social media platform
.
Moreover, the International Meteor Organisation had no records of a shooting star during the time of Dr. Voltmer's observation, dismissing the meteor hypothesis.
Furthermore, the astronomer rejected the notion that the object could be a simple insect or debris close to the telescope's lens. Judging from the focal plane, he approximated its distance to be more than 500 meters.
Dr. Voltmer expressed his viewpoint, indicating that the height of the object was probably around 100 to 200 kilometers, potentially moving into a region called the Low Earth Orbit.
Backing up his findings, planetary scientist Iliot Sefton-Nash put forward the idea that the object looked like a group of satellites nearby, orbiting relatively near to Earth.
There were opinions suggesting that it was a UFO.
Speculation regarding the identity of the UFO has sparked various theories among observers.
Some enthusiasts on Instagram hinted at the possibility of extraterrestrial origins, considering the recent surge in UFO sightings.
I don't doubt that there is life on other planets somewhere out there in the universe, one user said.
I read a lot of books written by astronauts. Several well-known astronauts stated they saw UFOs, the second agreed.
Amazing how these aliens have the technology to make their spacecraft appear like out-of-focus mundane objects to our cameras isn't it? Another said.
