THE X-MILES UFO hunters go wild over photo of bizarre ‘aircraft hovering over motorway’ claiming it’s a top secret US government plane

UFO hunters have been going wild over pictures of an apparent alien object in the skies above North Carolina.

The photographs were taken by Javion Hill, 35, during a storm on as he drove on U.S. 74, southwest of Charlotte.

The images show a square object hovering above the treeline with lights around the edge.

After taking pictures, Hill said he pulled over at the next exit to try and get video, but the aircraft had vanished into the heavy rain.

“I was on my way home with my wife on the speaker phone, and it looked like there was a tornado coming, so I was trying to take a picture of the clouds for my wife,” Hill told the Charlotte Observer.

“But then I saw something that wasn’t normal and I was, like ‘oh my god, what is that?’ I started trying to take as many pictures of it as possible while I was driving.”

Hill says the photo doesn’t do justice to the size of the object, which left him so frightened him he was unable to sleep that night.

“I was worried for my safety. I didn’t believe in UFOs until that moment,” he said.

Hill admits what he saw might have been a military aircraft though some online say the picture looks suspiciously like the reflection of a mobile phone on the dashboard.
