(ETH) – Scientists have been left baffled after a mysterious glowing object suddenly appears in Earth’s orbit.  According to a report from the Sun, Images of the puzzling object have been released after some speculated it appeared to be a new “minimoon”.

Scientists are saying it’s too soon to say for sure what the mystery object is and that further research and investigation is required. There are some astronomers who have suggested that the object could be an artificial object, while others say it might also be an old satellite or space debris,

while others are saying the object is an asteroid, which would mean it would be the only second natural satellite to be spotted around the Earth, other than the Moon.  Grigori Fedorets, the lead astronomer for the observations, said: “Either way this is a very compelling object and needs more data to determine what it is”.
