A Melbourne family claimed to have seen something unexplainable hovering over their house over the weekend and even managed to snap a picture of the mystery object.

Paul Steinberg told news.com.au that he was in the driveway of his North Caulfield home with his daughter at about 8pm on Saturday night when they both spotted the UFO.

“It was flying just under the clouds. It looked like three red lights in a triangular formation all moving silently together in a westerly direction,” Mr Steinberg said.

“It was just silently moving through the sky and we couldn’t figure out what it was and it took us a few moments to realise it was moving quite fast.”

He called his wife and two other children outside and said they all witnessed the object travelling at what he estimated to be about 500km/h.
