'Is that a UFO?' Beachgoers are puzzled by a mysterious object hovering above them which 'changed its shape before disappearing'

Bizarre video footage shows a black ring object floating in midair above a beach in northeastern China.

The UFO-like object flew slowly across the beach before it disappeared into the clouds, according to swimmers.

However online users from the local area suggested it could be a smoke ring caused by a performance at a nearby playground. 

Mobile phone footage, uploaded by Pear Video, shows Jinshitan beach in Dalian, China's Liaoning Province on August 12.

An oval-shaped black smoke ring can be seen floating above the beach.

One onlooker, surnamed Yu, said in the video: 'There is an unidentified flying object appearing in the sky. Its oval shape is expanding and it is coming towards us closer and closer.'

The object then changed its shape to a parallelogram.

It disappeared into the clouds shortly after.
