INCREDIBLE footage shows mysterious "spinning UFO" lighting up the night sky over a city and stunning a crowd of people.
In the clip a group of friends can be seen chatting on the street as one of them notices an illuminated object in the sky.
The cameraperson zooms in on the strange aircraft, apparently rotating while hovering in the night air.
The object’s lights suddenly go out as it seemingly shoots off into space.
The final scene appears to show another group of pals filming the same UFO from a different part of the city just as the object vanishes from view.
The alleged alien encounter took place in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, this week.
