A bizarre situation that played out over the weekend on the International Space Station's live feed left some conspiracy theorists wondering what they'd just seen.

The NASA feed that normally shows a view of Earth from the ISS astronauts' perspective showed something a little different for a few seconds. In the distance, a faint light was seen plummeting toward Earth, but the object stopped falling and hovered in place before the video feed was cut.

The video was first scrutinized by YouTube user "Streetcap1," , according to AL.com.

"This could well be a meteor or the like," the user said in the YouTube post. "What made it interesting was the camera cut off when the UFO seemed to stop."

NASA has since responded to the footage, saying it definitely wasn't a UFO, but could have been a piece of space junk.

"(The light) could be any number of things: a reflection on the lens of the camera, radiation hitting a sensor in the High Definition Earth Viewing system, a satellite, a meteor or one of the tens of thousands(of) bits of ," Popular Mechanics reported.

A NASA spokesman piled on, telling Popular Mechanics that an alien spacecraft has never been spotted– near Earth, or far from it.
