• Joshua Ross captured the yellow glow floating above houses 
• He filmed the unidentified object in the sky on his mobile phone
• Mr Ross said the object was moving from 'side to side' and 'up and down'

A man has captured the moment he spotted an unidentified object in the sky near his home on the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland.

Joshua Ross saw the yellow/white glow floating above houses and filmed it on his mobile phone.

Speaking to Channel 7 News, he said: 'It was just going side to side up and down, round and round, it would go up one direction and then shoot back the other direction. And then it just went under a tree and disappeared and that was it.'

The video was posted on Facebook with users commenting it could be a 'fireball', a 'plane' or even just a 'bird'. 

Mr Ross was left bemused as to what it was, suspecting it was a UFO, but astronomers believe it could have been a meteor the size of a fist, according to the nightly news program.

And the cloud cover in the sky was what created the 'hovering effect'. 

The latest UFO sighting comes as a new documentary hopes to shed light on a growing number of alleged extraterrestrial encounters in Australia.

The film, Australien Skies, studies 'evidence' of UFO sightings across the country, and the people who spend their days gazing upwards hoping to spy something from outer-space.

The documentary's director, Don Meers with Dojo Media, said he made the film in an effort to get a grasp on the UFO phenomenon. 

'The first goal of this film is to see if we can understand what is happening,' Mr Meers said.

'Secondly, I want to try to work out what these object are... and lastly, I want to see one of these objects up close for myself.'

One of the key figures of the documentary is Damien Nott, a qualified UFOlogist, who claims to have more than 2000 pictures and videos of sightings - many of which feature bright objects hovering in the sky, and shapes inexplicably appearing and disappearing beyond the horizon.

'A lot of people think that I'm definitely an abductee or I'm definitely a contactee,' Mr Nott said, in a preview released ahead of the documents premiere next month. 

'I'm not going to come out and say I've spoken to aliens, and they've told me all these things about the planet... that has never happened. All I know is I've had a number of very strange experiences.'

The documentary also featured the story of Liam Freaney, who claims he was approached by the men in black following his own UFO encounters.

Mr Freaney said he first started seeing the visitors in March 2013, which led to him spotting a number of helicopters sinisterly hovering near his house, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
