The Washington-based space research agency, NASA, has denied all the recent claims made by the UFO hunters that the sightings near the International Space station were that of an Unidentified Flying Object i.e. UFO. The space agency has dismissed all the statements and said that the sightings might have been just the reflections caused by the ISS panel windows.

University Herald reported that a NASA's representative has cleared the air for the online community people and said that the reflection from the shuttle's window might have formed a spacecraft like structure, which was eventually mistaken for UFO.

Besides, many nonbelievers also have come to the aid of NASA and denied the UFO sighting claims made by the UFO hunters. They said that the recent spotting of the UFOs could have been just any other Russian Soyuz Spacecraft or some supply-carrier vessels from Earth to the ISS. The cynics also argued that the so-called UFO might have also been the capsules, which generally carry waste materials emitted from the ISS.

However, a YouTube UFO hunter, Streetcap1 said that he doesn't believe the explanations given by NASA and is quite confident about the UFO sightings near the ISS. Also, one of the regular blogger at UFO sightings daily, Scott C. Waring said that the recently spotted UFO, flying around the space station, was not a perfect disc structure, but was arguably one of the most similar designs of a UFO till date.

Meanwhile, Inquisitr reported that earlier, an online UFO community challenged NASA to explain the recent UFO sightings near the ISS. The news about the UFO hovering close to the ISS started doing rounds on the internet when the hunters spotted a UFO during a live stream from the space station. Many UFO hunters believe the fact that there is heavy traffic of UFOs near the ISS.

Additionally, there are reports that the UFO hunters and conspiracy theorists believe the fact that NASA is trying to cover up the evidence of the UFO sightings. It is reported that NASA performs this hiding act by shutting down the live stream from ISS, whenever a UFO enters in the live feed.
