Witnesses claim the object pulsed in the sky with a yellow ball for a few seconds before disappearing.

Some argue that it could be a spaceship, a fireball or debris from a Chinese rocket.

“The UFO was so bright like a fireball circling in the night sky. It was something I had never seen in my life, it scared me,” said Ali Mohammad, quoted by Mail Online.

According to reports, the Chinese rocket weighing 18 tonnes reentered the atmosphere and crashed into the Indian Ocean on May 9.

Experts were unable to predict the exact location of the impact before the rocket fell which meant social media was busy saying the rocket would crash in a populated area.

Video from India shows a fireball with yellowish spheres that appears to lift off a couple of times before disappearing abruptly.

The object was seen moving in the night skies of the Kishtwar district of the Jammu region of the territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Was it a low earth-orbiting satellite, aliens, the drone or the out-of-control gigantic Chinese rocket?” said one local named Ibrahim, who watched the video.

The amazed voice of a child can be heard in the background in the footage.

“We were spooked on seeing it. It appeared to be full of flames,” said local Feroz Ahmed.
