Black UFO spotted during Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket launch prompting claims of 'cover up'

A black UFO was spotted during Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket launch which has prompted claims of extraterrestrial life and a supposed 'cover up'.



The billionaire, who owns Tesla motors and founded SpaceX, sparked an international media frenzy when he sent his Roadster car into space strapped to his company's Falcon Heavy rocket.



But some people have spotted a black object in the video recorded from the rocket and have speculated on social media that it may be an actual UFO.



And so-called truthers have also hinted that the presence of an alien craft was covered up when video footage from the spacecraft cut out, the Daily Star reports.



One person wrote online: “My thought was a trans atmospheric skip vehicle, but I could just be hopeful.”



And another breathless enthusiast wrote: “Is that aliens!!! What is this?”
