He said: “I took a screenshot and enlarged it. When I added contrast and shadow to it…it had other lights within it of different colours.
“What this tells me is that it was not a searchlight. Because a searchlight would have the same colour throughout, but it’s not.
“Also a searchlight would appear circular, this, however, appears like a disk seen from the side.”
Mr Waring said the UFO appeared close enough to the camera to give viewers a good look at its shape, speed and direction.
He dubbed the sighting “absolute proof” aliens are interested in Rome during the pandemic.
