The clip shows a bright, orange moon low in the sky with an odd 'line' over halfway down it. This line travels from the centre of the moon to its edge throughout the video.
The Reddit user remarked: "I saw this object moving across the moon (beautiful orangey moon) last night. I can tell you it was exactly 23:06."
"Besides being awestruck by the moon's beauty, I couldn't believe there was a long object moving very slowly from left to right! Has anyone seen anything like this before and can someone help me find an explanation, please? I posted on the London subreddit, but I'm not sure we found any explanations."
"I don't think it's a stationary object. The moon is moving from left to right in this video, therefore if the object is stationary, then it would go from right to left in this video which it doesn't. I think it's definitely a very slowly moving-object.", reports the Daily Star .
"I also thought [it could be] an arch of balloons that may have escaped a wedding but this object doesn't move that much in terms of bending, which I'd expect a group of balloons to do."
The video has garnered over 2,000 upvotes and nearly 300 comments from puzzled users trying to figure out what the mysterious object is. One user commented: "This is really interesting."

A different user admitted: "I don't know what to make of it on its face but seems very interesting. If we were just to assume it was on or even near the moon, the thing would be massive."
