A 'high res' image of a UFO emerging from a cloud has been shared - and it allegedly shows a disc-shaped craft just moments before it vanished into space. The picture is clear and appears to show a round object that closely resembles the flying saucers depicted in TV and film.
Taken by Juan Manuel Sanchez, the image has been shared on national TV in Mexico and have since gone viral online, as the Daily Star reports. While the photos have undoubtedly caused a stir, scepticism surrounds the authenticity of the pictures and whether they were the result of a camera trick, a natural phenomenon, an elaborate hoax, or were in fact a genuine sighting of a mysterious object.
What do you think about the UFO sighting? Let us know in the comments...
Juan, a car mechanic, said he spotted the object while trying to take snaps with his mobile phone of an approaching storm.
The photo appears to show the disc hanging in front of the dark clouds in the distance.
Juan hit back at the doubters and stood by his story as he gave his account of the sighting outside his home in Valle Hermoso on August 17 to Mexican television station RDTV.
His claims were backed by his wife and one of his co-workers also who also said they saw the mysterious saucer before it shot off into the sky towards space.
Juan said he was "in shock" when he first allegedly spotted the object, saying it wasn't "fear, but something like astonishment".
He added that he is disappointed he didn't get a video, but as his camera was in photo mode he simply took the pictures he could before the object vanished.
Juan admitted he was worried about making his sighting public as he feared the stigma associated with UFOs.
He told RDTV: "It was right there above that house above the cables - it's sad I wasn't able to get a video."
The authenticity of Juan's photos remains unclear, but he appears convinced he saw something in the sky.

He added: "We were working here outside at the workshop when we saw some very dark clouds – it was cloudy like it is now, a bit more.
"When we started watching it it was in one place, it wasn't moving, and then as I got the second and third photo it started moving upwards. When I changed my phone to video mode it wasn't possible.
"As it was going away I could see it more, the shape of a disc."
