A UFO appears during a storm over Pretoria, South Africa

A video has been posted on YouTube which shows what could be a UFO flying near a storm over Pretoria, South Africa on Sunday night.

The footage was shot by a friend of YouTube user Josh Bezuidenhout who is looking for answers as to what it could be.

Could it be ball lighting, a laser pointer or a genuine UFO?

You can see in the video that the object moves from left to right across the sky during the storm. At one point after flashes of lightning, the object seems to disappear, only to reappear again a few seconds later.

I think we can rule out laser pointer as it would be a beam rather than a dot of light.

A drone maybe?  There is a noise at the beginning of the video which sounds like a drone but the object looks too far away to be able to hear it if it was one.

What do you think?
