Eerie moment UFOs appear in sky above Spain next to double rainbow – before deadly flash floods hit

THIS is the moment ominous 'UFOs' were spotted hovering next to a double rainbow in Spain - just before the devastating floods hit.

Ambiguous footage seems to show a cluster of unidentified lights weaving through the brooding sky next to the rare rainbow.

The bizarre moment in Barcelona was filmed just days before the horrific floods that have battered the country.

The clip shows little white specs of light contrasted by the gorgeous rainbow, in what feels like an unsettling image in hindsight.

As the cameraman zooms into the unexplained moment, the bright lights whizz through the clouds.

He can be heard saying: “What the hell are they?

“What the f**k.

“They are f**king UFOs, bro.”

A young child is heard saying “holy s**t” in the background.

The most morbid explanation from the incident has come in the form of extraterrestrial warnings about the impending floods.

One reaction joked: "They are aliens from Galaxy 5383837, and we are all going to die.”

Another quipped: “Now intergalactic tourists are to blame for the weather.”

A third said: “It is common to see lights or spaceships before a disaster.

“It is as if they are carrying out surveillance on us, analysing what happens and how we react to tragedy.”

Whilst reports say that many locals believe the 'UFOs' to be genuine, others have said suggest it could have been drones

Others have suggested it could simply be a flock of birds reflecting light.

One local reasoned: “Because of the way they fly, they’re either birds of angels, although the latter is harder to prove if so.”

This theory was supported by another local, Rita.

Rita assured: "Whenever there are stormy nights over coastal cities, you often see seagulls flying in circles, they shine in the darkness because they’re illuminated from below.

“Apart from that, the double rainbow effect is very beautiful.”

It is yet to be proven what the soaring lights were.

SPAIN FLOODS

Catastrophic floods have swept Spain recently, with currently at least 217 people confirmed dead, AP reports.

AP also reports that currently 89 people are confirmed to be unaccounted for.

It's the worst flood-related natural disaster to hit Spain in almost 30 years.

A map released by Spain's meteorological agency AEMET showed which regions were hit the worst by the heavy rainfall.

Countless victims are thought to still be trapped under the rubble, or be trapped in their cars after they failed to escape the rising tides.

Thick mud has covered homes and streets, leaving displaced residents fighting through the mess to begin cleaning.

Survivors have spoken of the horror they witnessed and faced as they tried to escape the waves.

Guillermo Serrano Pérez, 21, from Paiporta, spoke of how the water rushed down "like a tsunami", which forced him and his parents to abandon their car and climb onto a bridge to safety.

There are widespread accusations that disaster relief authorities were too slow to react with warnings, meaning people could not get off the roads quickly.

The Civil protection agency did not issue an alert until 20:15 local time.

By this point, the town of Chiva and several others had already been flooded for at least two hours.

It has been confirmed that a British couple are amongst the countless casualties.

Search and rescue efforts continue.
