FACT CHECK 

NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim and found it to be FALSE. 

A Reverse Image Search directed us to a YouTube video uploaded on the official channel of ‘UFO Section 51’ on January 29, 2018. Visuals similar to the viral image can be seen in this video. 

According to the About Us section of the YouTube Channel, they are “French visual effects artists and pleased to share our point of view on sciences, space, UFO & ancient aliens theories and many more.” 

Going through their YouTube channel, we found similar digitally created videos uploaded on their page. 

Further, we also did a keyword search but could not find any recent media report to suggest that any UFO was spotted near Hill Air Force Base, Utah, United States. 

Thus, it is evident from the above information that the viral claim is false.
