- The object was spotted entering Earth's atmosphere by the ISS
- Space agency claims it is a meteor but conspiracy theorists reject this
- Alien hunters SecureTeam10 say it is moving too slowly for a meteor
- Nasa has previously been accused of covering up evidence of alien life
Nasa has once again been accused of covering up the existence of alien life, after an astronaut captured footage of a UFO.
The mysterious object was spotted entering Earth's atmosphere by one of the crew of the International Space Station.
Despite assurances from the space agency that it is just a meteor, conspiracy theorists remain convinced that it is evidence of extra terrestrials.

Nasa has once again been accused of covering up the existence of alien life, after an astronaut captured footage of a UFO. The mysterious object (circled) was spotted entering Earth's atmosphere by one of the crew of the International Space Station
Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli shot the clip, which shows a fiery ball of light racing towards the Earth's atmosphere.
The ISS crew member believes that the object could be space debris, but both the space agency and alien enthusiasts have rejected this explanation.
Tyler Glockner, who runs alien hunting YouTube Channel SecureTeam10, believes it is more proof of a government conspiracy to hide the existence of aliens.
Nasa has previously been accused of covering up an alien sighting after a video surfaced showing six UFOs passing the ISS live-stream, seconds before the feed was cut and replaced with images from a camera showing the inside of a briefing room.
Although the footage of the most recent sighting came from Nasa, conspiracy theorists are suspicious over how quickly they released it to the media.
Speaking in a video uploaded to the SecureTeam10 channel, Mr Glockner said: 'I don't think it's a meteorite at all.
'What many people may not realise is that this video is a timelapse.
'You're seeing the earth spinning at a high rate of speed and we see this flash of light coming from space.
'It does look to be moving at 85mph (136 km/ph).
'But when you account how fast the earth would have actually been moving, had this not been sped up, it would have been moving much, much slower.
'Speeds that are slower than even the slowest meterorites.
'Why did they do this? Why were they so adamant about publishing this when when they've never jumped on a story so fast?'
Mr Glockner also says that the round ball is coming in at too steep an angle to be a meteorite.
In the video, he compares the object to another meteorite that fell to Earth during the 2011 Perseid meteor shower.
In this clip, the characteristic tail of a meteor that is missing from the ISS object can clearly be made out.
Mr Glockner added: 'If you compare this to what they are calling a meteor in this new footage, at no time does this so called meteor look like anything that was captured back in 2011 - it just doesn't.
'It's a short, stubby object that looks nothing like the other meteor here.

'We can see this discharge, the energy coming from here vanish.'
Not everyone agrees with the paranormal explanation on offer.
Speaking to MailOnline Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said: 'Nasa can't win when it comes to dealing with UFOs.
'In this instance, SecureTeam10 are complaining that the agency rushed to release the footage and has only put forward a meteor as the explanation.
'I'd rather believe Nasa than SecureTeam10 any day.
'Even if it was debris, it doesn't turn it into a extraterrestrial scoutship filled with tentacled aliens on a mission to invade our planet, which is what SecureTeam10 imagines every time they see a blob of light filmed by Nasa cameras.'
