Since the second week in December, videos (at least two known to exist) were uploaded to YouTube from Russia, allegedly documenting the presence a gigantic triangular “UFO” hovering near the Kremlin. Today the English Daily Mail provided commentary on the strange videos, claiming that the object’s appearance on December 9th coincided with that of a strange “blue spiral light” that made news after its appearance over Norway; later believed to have been a failed rocket launch from Russia. Below is a link showing the strange triangular object that has experts “baffled”:

At present, media sources that also include BritainNews.net assert that skeptics have decried the videos, stating that witnesses would have come forth in droves had the videos depicted an actual object hovering over Moscow. However, the article originally appearing at the Daily Mail website earlier today makes the contrary claim that there were indeed “hundreds of witnesses. To this, the article states that “Some commentators have reacted sceptically to the videos and have pointed out that if hundreds of people had seen the object more videos and photos would have emerged by now.”

The object, which appears to slowly rotate from side to side, does look interesting; but as always, the poor quality of the videos in question leaves a good bit of room for interpretation. Perhaps a hoax using computer rendering software, major European news sources are only now catching wind of the story. The videos have existed since at least December 10th, however.

In what is perhaps some of the most telling data regarding the incident, the Daily Mail reported that “Russian reports ruled out a UFO but police have refused to comment.”

Former Ministry of Defence UFO analyst Nick Pope, who has become England’s “go-to-guy” with regard to UFO reports and commentary, told the Mail, “it was one of the most extraordinary UFO clips I’ve ever seen. At first I thought this was a reflection but it appears to move behind a power line, ruling out this theory.”

The Mail also reports that a spokesman for aerospace journal Jane’s News has gone on record stating, “We have no idea what it is.” Until official word is disclosed by Russian officials, the origins of the at-present rather precarious video will remain uncertain.
