A couple were left stunned after they spotted UFOs 'as bright as the sun' hovering above a river in Canada.

Justin Stevenson and his wife Danielle Daniels-Stevenson were driving through Fort Alexander on May 14 when they saw the bright lights above the Winnipeg River.

He pulled over at a clearing where Danielle, 32, filmed two 'sun-like' balls of light floating above the tree line without making a sound.

Justin, 49, can be heard declaring 'I think we're seeing some aliens' as another two appear 'from nowhere' and begin moving downwards.

Other clips show two UFOs continuing to hover while the bemused pair sit in their vehicle for half an hour to watch them.

Justin, previously a sceptic of extraterrestrial life, said the experience felt 'like he was in a sci-fi movie' and it's given him 'proof there's something out there other than humans'.

Danielle posted one of the clips on Facebook later that night where it's been viewed more than 650,000 times with users calling it a 'strange anomaly' and 'a clear shot of UFOs'.

Others have claimed they're helicopters, drones or flares dropped from planes but mechanic Justin disagrees and is adamant there's no explanation for the sighting.

Justin, from Manitoba, Canada, said: 'My wife saw lights and we were confused at what they were so we drove to a clearing where we could see properly.

'There were two really bright lights above the river almost like the sun shining but the sun had set by this time. They were super bright like a fire in the sky.

'They were sitting above the tree line for the longest time then they started to move down and then two more popped up right out of nowhere.

'There were six all together and they didn't even make a sound.

'I just thought 'what the f**k?'. That's when I realized it wasn't a fire and I questioned if it was aliens.

'It was pretty surreal and it felt like we were in a sci-fi movie.

'I was skeptical before I saw this but now this has given me the proof I need that there's something out there other than humans.

'There's no explanation so we posted it because we wanted people to describe for themselves what that is.

'The naysayers can have their opinion but I disagree.'

Danielle's post read: 'We saw this just a few mins ago. What is it? It lasted like half an hour.'

Social media users were quick to offer their thoughts on what the UFO could be

One social media user commented: 'Oh wow!! You're brave to record this. I would've taken off.'

A second wrote: 'Oh my word! What is that? Pretty scary that it's so close to home, yikes!'

A third added: 'That is one strange anomaly.'

A fourth said: 'UFO that's a nice clear shot ... Wow.'

However some disagreed and wrote: 'Looks like helicopters.'

Another commented: 'It could be flares that planes drop.'
