KUALA LUMPUR: A video footage of a brilliant foreign “object” entering Malaysian skies on Wednesday night has left netizens baffled.

The video clip, watched 72,000 times, has been making its rounds on social media and WhatsApp groups and even posted on TikTok by Styfly Malaysia on Aug 31.

In the short clip, the owner of the video claims to have set up his hi-tech recording device, facing the KL Tower and KL city centre just before midnight to capture the fireworks show at the break of the country’s 66th Merdeka celebration.

However, he captured a sighting of a moving bright light when he reviewed the recording afterwards

“What could it be? For a clearer image, I uploaded it on my laptop and that’s the best I can do,” he says while playing a close up recording of the falling object with X-files music playing in the background.

The video on display has a video recording speed of 30mps and was displayed in a 4K resolution.

“I tried to zoom in but this is the best result.

“What could it be? What could possibly move that fast?

“Did I record a meteor or fighter jet or jeng jeng jeng,” he said, before asking viewers to guess what it is at the end of the TikTok clip.

Here are some of the comments Styfly Malaysia received from his video:

Most of the comments on the post were amusing to read, with some describing the “object” as cartoon characters, alien, supernatural creatures and even suggesting that it’s a UFO.

But sadly none could justify what that object with the bright light was.

There was one user who even proceeded to tag the police department, to get them to investigate the video.
