UNDER ATTACK? UFO 'filmed firing laser at International Space Station' in NASA footage
THE International Space Station (ISS) may have come under attack by hostile aliens in a UFO with laser blasters, a conspiracy theorist has suggested.
NASA footage from the ISS live cam yesterday shows a strange object opposite the space station, that appears to emit a red beam at intervals, according to YouTuber Streetcap1.
He posted the clip to his YouTube channel which regularly puts forward alleged evidence of aliens and UFOs.
In his video entitled 'UFO Fires Red Beam at the ISS?', he said: "These lights appeared next to the space station.
"I checked the pre-archive footage and they don't appear on any other footage as far as I can see
"Look at the red light coming from them and going to the space station… its pretty strange."
The object itself that he thought might be a UFO appeared to resemble many other alleged ISS sightings that have been previously debunked as lens flares from the camera or reflections of the ISS itself.
The ISS also did not appear to sustain any damage in the clip.

Streetcap1 added: "Maybe it's lens flare, I don't know what's causing it.
"In the previous shots hours ago there was no evidence of it at all.
"It could be lens flare, but I can't see what was causing it.
"Its shape was what was most interesting to me."
He then said NASA appeared to try to zoom the camera away from the object, as if to hide it from view.
Many of Streetcap1's followers felt he was on to something.
Vikki Ledgard posted on YouTube: "I think that series of red lights looks like the lights of some huge vessel (mothership if you prefer)."
Arthur Tasev said: "This slipped through the net from NASA."

David Waddington added: "It is a craft of some sort and I think the ISS was expecting it, camera on infra red would probably show a lot more."
Juliana Jaynes said: "How long is this going to go on? It is more than obvious there are ships EVERYWHERE."
James Paul added: "That appears to be the same craft that’s been seen manoeuvring around the ISS and boosters heading to orbit.
"I believe it’s an anti-gravity craft that belongs to the USAF along with other craft of the same type only smaller."
However, Erika Demiral was less convinced.

She said: "Is it possible it's a reflection of an electrical panel inside the ISS?"
Express.co.uk showed it to debunker Scott Brando, who runs website ufoofinterest.org.
He believes the red lines were laser beams, but not from aliens, but NASA itself.
For the past few years the agency has been sending data to and from the space station by red laser beam from the Optical Payload for Lasercomm Science (OPALS) project based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
NASA's website states: "OPALS beams packets of information using lasers, which allows for sending data at a faster rate compared with transmission by radio waves."
