The rare event was filmed with an incredible backdrop in the form of the "Aurora Australis". Vagner tweeted, "Space guests, or how I filmed the new time-lapse. The peak of aurora borealis when passing over the Antarctic in Australia's longitude, meaning in between them. However, in the video, you will see something else, not only the aurora."

In the follow-up tweet, the Russian cosmonaut asked people to look closely at the nine to 12 second-mark in the video to spot UFOs. He said, "At 9-12 seconds, 5 objects appear flying alongside with the same distance. What do you think those are? Meteors, satellites or…? P.S. The frames were captured 1 per sec and later assembled in a video with 25 frames per sec rate.
