There's been a rise of 'Tic Tac' UFO sightings recently but one conspiracy theorist on Reddit believes he has the answer.
The forum user u/DeezNahtus took to the subreddit r/UFOs to share their theory of the weird sitings after sharing a video of what is believed to be a 'cruise missile.'
The Reddit user wrote: "Saw this and it reminded me of a Tic-Tac. Obvious propulsion on this but still interesting to look at."
These guided missiles are used against terrestrial targets, remain in the atmosphere, and fly the major portion of their flight path at a consistent speed.
The post, which the user shared was originally posted by u/Assorted_Education_, shows black missile gliding through the air.
It was captioned: "Chasing a cruise missile mid-air. It travels at 500mph, which is why the jet is easily able to keep up with it."
It has not been confirmed where the video originated, however, conspiracy theorists have run with it claiming that it's very possible that UFOs could be missiles while others said it looks nothing like a Tic Tac.
One user said: "I thought this would be interesting to look at for the UFO community since it’s a very fast-moving object suspended in the sky.

"Imagine seeing this 50 years ago. Technology is amazing and I hope one day we are able to witness something like this but with a real UFO. I hope you all appreciate this post."
Another added: "Those must be the dark, cylindric-shaped objects, some airline pilots are seeing."
A third said: "How the hell does that remind you of a Tic Tac?"
A fourth wrote: "Obvious propulsion on this.” So… nothing like a Tic-Tac."
Among other hilarious responses to the video, the missile was compared to a Nerf bullet because of its orange nose.
One user said: "I didn't know Nerf was branching into actual warfare?"
Another added: "Looks like a big Nerf dart."
