An Edinburgh council worker has been left mystified after capturing something "very strange" over the skies of the capital last week.
The footage, which was captured by Mike Grubb, was taken on April 6 at around 10.30pm in the Gilmerton area of the capital.
55-year-old Mike had been letting his pet lurcher out for a pee when he noticed a strange light in the sky in front of him.

At first he believed it to be a plane at high altitude, but once he saw a plane fly below it he began to wonder if it was a visitor from another world.
“I shot the video last week at around 10.30pm when I let my pet lurcher out for a quick pee,” he said.
“My attention was drawn to the flickering light above the sky which was directly in front of me. I found it to be very strange, and was mystified. At first I thought it was an aeroplane in the distance.
“However, that theory was soon shot down in flames after an aeroplane appeared below the strange moving object. I always keep an open mind on whether or not aliens or other species exist.
“My friends and family have been taking the Michael out of me but who knows, I might be abducted by aliens.”
Last Saturday, a Fife woman believed she had captured a UFO flying above Arthur's Seat from her home on the other side of the Firth of Forth.
Melissa Mcmanus, 35, from Dunfermline, said that she was looking towards Edinburgh when she saw a strange orange-like object above the famous capital landmark.
Melissa was also letting her dog out for a pee when she saw the strange object - she said she hadn’t “seen anything like it before.”
And at the end of March a husband and wife thought they had potentially snapped a number of UFOs above their city centre home.
The wife at the time said: “When I zoomed in it looked like an orb and was very round with a pattern on the bottom but it seemed too still.
“I finished looking at the pictures and after a while I noticed it was moving ever so slowly and when I looked at one of the other pictures I thought there is something else there!
“It looked like a saucer to the side of the main orb - it was almost disc-like travelling towards the bright light.”
