The dashcam footage shows a police officer leaning towards the window of a vehicle in front, presumably talking to the driver. But then, just as they were about to either slap them with an infringement notice or send them on their way, a beam of light consumes the officer.

After a few seconds, the beaming brightness fades away, leaving just a pile of smoking clothes by the side of the road. The car then pulls away, the driver seemingly not giving two shits about the vanishing officer; perhaps it was an infringement notice heading their way after all.

The astounding footage was shared by UFO Today, on Saturday and has amassed 11,000 views.

The user claimed the video was stored on servers at The Pentagon and was labelled as 'top secret'... It's worth pointing out at this point that if you ever want to keep something on the down low, just discreetly plaster a 'top secret' label on it.

He said: "I downloaded the video and shared it with a couple of my friends in the UFO community and they all told me the same, this footage looks real and it could change everything we know about the UFO story.

"The footage shows how a police officer stopped a car for a reason unknown. When the officer gets out to ask the driver some question, we see a very bright light coming from the skies. It's unknown whether the body of the officer was 'teleported' and his clothes were left on the ground.

"After the light disappears the driver, obviously scared, drives off. It's unclear where this event took place.

"This video could be the smoking gun we are looking for in the UFO community."

One viewer was grateful to the channel for sharing the gob-smacking video.

They said: "That's just wild! and I don't even know what to say if it's real. Thanks for sharing."

Indeed, the user suggested in the captions that 'if this footage is real, it would be the best evidence of alien UFO activities on earth ever'.

Well, if that is the very best you have to offer, then that's me pretty much convinced there haven't been any alien UFO activities on earth ever.
