THIS “leaked” viral video shows a US Predator drone getting blitzed by a mystery UFO in Afghanistan, it has shockingly been claimed.
The footage, which has received more than 160,000 views, is supposedly leaked government footage, according to alien conspiracy theorists.
In the clip, the cross-hairs of the predator drone are seen soaring over a mountain range.
It appears to be tracking a small object in the distance in the desert-like landscape.
The mystery craft being tailed then disappears, but when the drone follows it, a bright light is seemingly fired directly at it from the unknown object.
The video then scrambles, suggesting the military craft has been destroyed.
YouTube channel UFO Today posted the clip amid claims a military source had explained the video seemed genuine.
He said: “Some ex-military people told me that this footage seems genuine drone footage.”
The YouTuber also claimed his "source" said the attack was the "tip of the iceberg" as "there seems to be an increase of UFO's interacting with military drones”.
Viewers of the film had mixed views on its authenticity, with many thinking it was just a hoax.
One posted: "Is that real? Why would they allow this to be released if it was?”
Another added: “They’re finally here, this has to be proof.”
And a third commented: “So obviously edited.”
UFO Today appears on a number of "UFO blacklists" of websites and website channels compiled by sceptical hoax debunkers.
They claim the channel has been known to present previously seen and debunked material as new broadcasts.
The UFO and alien subject is awash with many hoaxers, which infuriates genuine researchers.
Scott Brando, who runs debunking website ufoofinterest.org suspected the video is old footage, and is investigating with other sceptics.
