A mystery wall of green lasers spotted in Hawaii are likely to have come from a Chinese satellite, it has emerged.
Hawaii's tallest mountain Mauna Ke was spotted with some unusual activity last month after a wall of green lasers appeared across the sky.
The footage, which was captured by a camera operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan on January 28, was thought to have come from NASA's ICESat-2 satellite.
The satellite tracks and measures Earth's surface to keep track off sea ice and forests.
However, according to NASA, if the lasers came from them it would have been via its Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter (ATLAS) instrument, which emits beams that are "bright green on the visible spectrum."
After some research it was confirmed on February 6 the satellite did not belong to NASA - and was most likely a Chinese satellite.
The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, who posted the video, updated its video description to reveal the new claims.
It said: "According to Dr. Martino, Anthony J., a NASA scientist working on ICESat-2 ATLAS, it is not by their instrument but by others.
"His colleagues, Dr. Alvaro Ivanoff et al., did a simulation of the trajectory of satellites that have a similar instrument and found a most likely candidate as the ACDL instrument by the Chinese Daqi-1/AEMS satellite.
"We really appreciate their efforts in the identification of the light.
"We are sorry about our confusion related to this event and its potential impact on the ICESat-2 team."
The revelation comes amid tensions between the US and China after three objects were taken out above US and Canada airspace in the past seven days.
And today China is getting ready to take down a UFO spotted over the water near the port city of Qingdao.
The first Chinese spy balloon spotted floating over US waters was shot down last Saturday after John Kirby, White House National Security Council spokesman, said it posed a "reasonable threat" to the safety of civilian flights.
The White House said the object was "the size of a small car" and posed a "reasonable threat" to commercial flights.
On Friday, President Biden was forced to order a fighter jet to shoot down an unidentified "high-altitude object" off Alaska.
The object was flying at 40,000ft over the coast of Alaska and had reached speeds of 40mph.
It was travelling towards the North Pole before being shot down.
On Saturday Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, revealed an "an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace" had been shot down by U.S. F-22s in Yukon by US and Canadian forces.
And later that evening US and Canadian aircraft were quickly scrambled to Havre, which is 30 miles south of the Canadian border, forcing the airspace shut for 50 minutes.
Fighter jets were unable to find the mystery object, according to the The North American Aerospace Defense Command, who "did not identify any object to correlate to the radar hits."
They said they will continue to monitor the situation following three incidents this week.
