While the talk of UFOs has become a bit of meme over the years, actual concrete information surrounding the matter has come out in recent weeks.
Recently, NASA made history as they presented their initial findings from an independent UFO study, with a detailed look at their research coming in July.
And now, bodycam footage from a local police force has seemingly captured a suspected UFO, adding more to the growing speculation.
The footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department shows the moment a potential UFO dashes across the night sky, with many residents seemingly bemused by what they had just seen.

Local TV channel 8 News reported the object spotted in the sky was picked up on the bodycam footage at around 11:50pm local time on 30 April - with its flash seen as far as Utah and California.
Less than 40 minutes after that initial sighting, a man who lives around 80 miles from Area 51 made a rather chilling phone call.
After ringing 911, the man claimed there were two unknown entities in his backyard shortly after he and his family spotted a similar object from the sky.

"There’s like an 8-foot person beside it and another one is inside us .. and it has big eyes and it’s looking at us — and it’s still there," the terrified man told the police dispatch.
"In my backyard. I swear to God this is not a joke, this is actually — we’re terrified. They’re very large. They’re like 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot.
"They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. Like, I can’t explain it. And big mouth. They’re shiny eyes and they’re not human. They’re 100 percent not human."
As you'd expect, the police were a little shaken and even confused by the whole affair, as was revealed by the audio and pictures captured on their bodycams.

Unfortunately, this potential sighting of the UFO still remains a mystery and is certainly unconfirmed.
Following the 911 call, an extensive search of the area and interviews with witnesses took place - though no new information was uncovered.
It was a extensive search, too - as law enforcement officials remained on the property for several days to investigate the potential UFO sighting.

However, according to 8 News Now, no new information was found and the case has been closed by the police.
So it appears this potential UFO sighting will forever remain a mystery.
