RESIDENTS were left stunned after claiming to have seen a bizarre UFO with spinning green lights circling the night skies in the US.

Multiple people reported spotting the mysterious rotating spectacle above Middletown, Ohio, on Wednesday evening at around 10.30pm.

Locals hurriedly whipped their phones out to record the strange object with an ominous green glow stalking the city overhead.

Eerie footage taken by Caden Little shows a ring of lights hovering above him in a whirling motion – before they quickly vanished.

He told local news outlet WCPO the incident “was scary” but that “in like two seconds it was out of sight.”

“It looked like something I’d never seen before at all,” Caden said. “I had seen drones fly before and this was not like any type of drone.”The way it moved and how fast it could take off… I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Another bemused witness, Bryce Garrick, explained how he was in his car when he noticed the peculiar parade of lights rotating in the sky.

He captured a dramatic video showing the alleged UFO spinning anti-clockwise as motorists sat below, which appeared to sport five green lights in a circular formation.

But it suddenly shot out of sight to the left at significant speed after just a matter of seconds, disappearing into the night.

Residents have been frantically searching for answers following the unusual incident, yet authorities have no explanation.

The Butler County Sheriff’s Office said it did not receive any calls about the lights and that it is unaware of their source.

However, experts have been skeptical about the authenticity of the supposed UFO, despite admitting it travelled too fast to be a drone.
