The weird object has been seen over various parts of the city including Truro city centre, Carluddon clay tip, Fistral beach in Newquay, over the A30 highway, above Roche Rock and by a surfer above the sea off the Cornish coast.
It was first spotted by surfer Kiefer Krishnan, who caught it on his Go-Pro camera and posted on his Instagram account on Monday.
Photographer Shayne House spotted the weird object, which appears to disappear and rematerialise, over the A30 highway, also on Monday. He filmed and even managed a close-up.
He declared on Twitter: “What the?! Is this an alien spacecraft over the A30?”

Harry Wild, who works in food marketing, also uploaded footage of the unexplained object. She saw it over Fistral beach on Monday and asked on Twitter if anyone else had seen it.
Many people commented it looked like a swarm of birds or insects.
There were three more sightings on Tuesday. The first was by Trudi, from Kent, who posted footage over Roche Rock, near St Austell, on Instagram.
She wrote: “What on Earth is this in the sky? It looks like some kind of craft to me, has anyone else seen this?

Local newspaper Cornwall Live approached various agencies about these sightings but no one has any answers.
The Eden Project will launch its new Journey into Space attraction on July 27 and wondered if these supposed UFOs had anything to do with that.
A spokesman for the attraction said: “It’s true we have a galaxy of ways to tell the story of space at Eden this summer. To coin a phrase … ‘The truth is out there’.”
