A Google Maps user reckons they have spotted a "UFO flying over suburban England".
The internet browser uploaded the image to Reddit, which appears to show a shiny saucer-shaped object hovering over a row of houses.
It was uploaded with the tagline: "Just randomly found a UFO flying over suburban England."
Other responders to the post were not so sure that the OP had actually spotted a UFO, though.
One wrote: "I see this happen a lot with reflections on google maps, a lot of cars have this if you look."
A second agreed with this theory, writing: "Someone's conservatory [glass roofed extension, see neighbours.]"
A third suggested: "Looks more like camera damage."
Other Reddit users were similarly convinced that the image does not show an alien spacecraft.
One wrote: "It's an Unidentified Flying Object. Is it some sort of spaceship? Pretty sure it's not."
Another joked that it could be the "timelord", referring to Doctor Who.
It is not the first time a Google Map user has made a curious find on the popular site.
