The crowd had gathered in Arlington, Texas, to watch the solar spectacle unfold but ended up getting far more than they bargained for.
Footage widely shared on social media appears to show the unknown dark object - shaped like a disc or cigar - moving amongst the clouds.
It shoots across the screen, disappearing beneath the cloud whisps, before then emerging again.

"It gives it a little more credibility in my eyes."
Another reckoned the UFO was "Some kind of small aircraft just above the clouds. probably recreational drone."

"Maybe it's some optical illusion but it's fun to speculate whatever it is."
John Greenewald, an investigator from The Black Vault, also weighed in.
He said: "This 'UFO' video is going viral since the eclipse yesterday.
"Only context was it was shot in Arlington, Texas.
"But, growing up near an airport, I feel this is a helicopter shadow in the clouds and I've seen something like it many times before."
THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
The celestial show swept across the globe and delighted stargazers around the world - although some felt a little short-changed.
A full eclipse graced Mexico the US and Canada but crowds in the UK only caught a small glimpse of the action as the sun was only partially covered.
Cloudy conditions meant the view was marred for millions, while those in the US were left starry-eyed.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth.
It casts a shadow on Earth that either fully or partially blocks the sun's light in some areas, resulting in either a total or partial eclipse.
