A mysterious photograph appears to show a ‘cloaked UFO’ hiding inside a cloud above a Canadian mountain town.
The image was reportedly captured over Canmore, Alberta on August 2 and shows a glowing, saucer-shaped formation suspended above the landscape.
It was shared on Facebook by Chary Woods, who posted the photo in a group dedicated to clouds.
Many people in the comments were quick to congratulate Woods on capturing an epic cloud hanging in the sky, but some noted that it looked more like a UFO.
At its center is a dark oval that UFO researcher Scott C Waring claims is a classic disk-shaped alien craft concealed within the cloud.
Waring said he increased the contrast on the photograph, allegedly making the object at the center of the formation easier to see.
He claimed the UFO had deliberately created the cloud to hide itself while flying closer to the ground.
The researcher further alleged that alien craft use clouds as cover while secretly scanning the thoughts of people below.

The extraordinary image has divided viewers online, with some declaring it evidence of extraterrestrial visitors while others questioned whether it was created using artificial intelligence.
However, no evidence has emerged proving that the shape is a physical craft or that aliens were involved.
‘This is a UFO cloaked within a cloud that it created,’ Waring wrote on his UFO Sightings Daily website.
‘When you add contrast to the photo, the alien classic disk craft becomes visible at its center.’
