A strange disc-shaped object was filmed flying over Sydney's skies on Monday, prompting residents to suspect it may have been alien aircraft.

The strange UFO was seen from the NSW capital as far as the Central Coast, with the bright white object leaving a trail behind it.

'Did anyone see the strange light moving across the sky about 10 minutes ago?' a woman from Sydney's inner-west asked on Facebook.

'I hope I'm not the only one who saw it because it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.'

The eerie pictures of the UFO instead had a more troubling outcome, with astrophysicists identifying it as a Chinese rocket. 

Did you see a UFO tonight? We have had reports of strange flying objects over Sydney and the Central Coast. However we dont think we are entertaining visitors from outer space. Instead, this is most likely the rocket which was launched from China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center tonight. Did you see it? Videos and photos welcome in the comments.
