Video claims alien attack on International Space Station

New Delhi : NASA's International Space Station may have come under an alien attack recently, suggests a viral video over digital media platforms.

A YouTube video uploaded by Streetcap1, titled UFO Ifres Red Beam at the ISS, shows an alien mothership emitting a red beam light at regular intervals.

"These lights appeared next to the space station. I checked the pre-archive footage and they don't appear on any other footage as far as I can see. Look at the red light coming from them and going to the space station. It's pretty strange," the YouTuber said.

"Maybe it's a lens flare, I don't know what's causing it. In the previous shots hours ago there was no evidence of it at all. It could be lens flare, but I can't see what was causing it. Its shape was what was most interesting to me."

However, the Ifres Red Beams do no damage to the space station, which orbits 200 miles (320 km) above the Earth. 

Ever since the video has been uploaded on the channel, a lot of people are commenting over it. Some say it is an 'attack by alien mothership', while some call it fake and dub the visible spaceship as just a reflection.
