Vacationer in disbelief after capturing incredible footage of a ‘UFO flying through a thunderstorm at 3,000 mph’

A man was on a family vacation in Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida, when he saw a UFO drifting through a thunderstorm at 3,000 mph.

Carmen Rich, 29, was waiting to move bars when he decided to take on the off-shore storm around 8 p.m. on June 17.

He was just filming a storm off the coast of Fort Lauderdale Beach in June when he encountered the so-called UFO.

His startling images show what he claims to be a UFO, appearing and disappearing within a second before the stunned Carmen says, ‘wow, did you just see that shoot over?’.

While capturing the footage, he was so impressed he asked if anyone else had seen it, before ending the video to watch it because “he “wondered if he was crazy.”

He was so startled that, not expecting to see a UFO while watching a thunderstorm, he rushed to show bystanders, including his stepsister J.Jennifer Rich, 20.

The financial analyst who was left ‘scared’ after seeing a ‘ball of light’ fly through the air.

“The thing in the back was an airplane and that’s where you can get a gauge on how fast this thing was. Jennifer turned, blinked, then missed it.

“I showed some local guys and they said they’d never seen anything like it in their lives.”

Carmen, from Boston, Massachusetts, said, “It was the fastest thing I’ve seen in my whole life and if it was going that fast I thought it would make some sort of noise, but it didn’t.”

The shocked man added: “I was on vacation so I had to act normal, but that night I was actually scared.

“I saw it with my own eyes over the phone. I immediately screamed and ended the video because I wanted to see if I really got it. I wondered if I was crazy.

He decided to post his surreal findings on Facebook, which has garnered more than 500 comments — but users disagree on whether or not it was alien.

One user commented, “Wow, that was incredible!”

A second speculated, “They (aliens) like thunderstorms. This is how they charge their flying ships. I have seen, photographed and filmed it myself several times.’

A third said, ‘Wow, I had to look closely when you said it, that’s crazy! Good catch!’

“I saw it with my own eyes over the phone. I immediately screamed and ended the video because I wanted to see if I really got it. I wondered if I was crazy.

Carmen describes herself as a logical person and claims that what he saw was a UFO, insisting that it is ignorant to deny the prospect of other life on Earth.

“I’m not sure what kind of drones travel thousands of miles per hour.

“I’m glad I had an experience like that instead of an experience other people say they’ve had.

“I believe it was a UFO. It could have been human, it could have been non-human, but it was an unknown flying object.

“I don’t know if it’s an alien vehicle. I don’t think we’re alone in the universe, but I also don’t think the government is telling us all the technology they have.

“I don’t know what it was, but it was something the public won’t know about for a very long time or at all.”

He responded to comments claiming it was just lightning by explaining there was no creaking noise and said it couldn’t be a drone because it was traveling a “couple of thousand miles an hour.”

“This seemed much larger than anything ball lightning has been observed. It had to be the size of a sprinter van if I had to guess, but at that speed, who knows!’

Another user said, “It could be a reflection of the car going by, it happens exactly as the car went by, or you never know what that could be.” Maybe it’s a UFO.’

Carmen replied, “I saw it with my eyes first and then watched the video.”

“It was much bigger with my own eyes. The camera shows a light ball, but in reality it looked much bigger.’

Carmen admits he was left scared that night and believes what he saw was an alien craft or technology that the U.S. government has failed to show to the public.
