It was shot with a Nikon Coolpix P900 camera as the photography enthusiast was using its 83x optical zoom to see the moonscape close up.
Then out of nowhere, something resembling a metallic craft enters the frame, passing across the face of the Moon in mere moments.
It was filmed from the US city of Trenton in New Jersey and has sparked a debate among UFO buffs about what it could be.

The person filming, who asked to remain nameless, said they were fascinated by the Moon and it was "pure luck" that they were filming at that moment.
"It's just something I'm interested in," they said.
"We live on a giant rock ball that is being orbited by another giant rock ball that is just floating there.
"I was doing a closeup of the Moon. I typically like to zoom in on the craters and the edges of it.
"It's pure luck that the UFO came into the picture while I was zooming in on the edges."

Some have suggested the object was falling ice from a plane, a meteor or just space debris.
Others believe it is the International Space Station (ISS) because it roughly 15.55 orbits of Earth a day, travelling at an average speed of 17,227mph, and at an altitude of between 205 miles and 255 miles.
From the ground, it's typically seen as a slow-moving, bright white dot, taking roughly 10 minutes to pass from one horizon to another.
It comes as scientists release an alien-watch scale so you can find out if you’ve really spotted a UFO in the sky.
