so is there any evidence of ufos over Irkutsk in Russia's Siberia
in the last month or so
well On 27th February a UFO event was witnessed by hundreds if not thousands of residents living in the Irkutsk region of Siberia, Russia. For two consecutive nights, an unknown object was observed over the forest, and on the second evening was reported by witnesses to have exploded. There were very limited reports of this event in the western media, and a brief story appeared online with All News Web. It is important to note that after this event transpired, there were at least two news broadcasts that aired in Russia discussing the events and interviewing eyewitnesses; however until now a translation/paraphrasing or full description of what what said on both news broadcasts hasn't surfaced
Residents of several villages in Irkutsk for a second day only talk about UFOs that they saw in the night sky. Residents were fearful as the objects appeared to take off when filmed by their cellphones. Together with experts, our correspondent carefully considered the few seconds of video recorded by Roman Igonin: These shots disturb residents in several towns and villages near Irkutsk.
'In the night sky they saw a UFO and couldn't believe their eyes' says a student from one of the local schools.
'Bright flying spheres appeared above the forest late in the evening, they were unidentified objects' stated one inhabitant of the village:
'Several objects stood still above the forest several kilometers from the earth and after 10 minutes a huge noise like an explosion then they were scattered and vanished in air' (Above the tops of the spheres themselves they would be as 1000 lamps over the forest and then a deafening explosion as if everything under on the earth should not have remained intact). For half an hour dozens of concerned residents called and told the same thing: something strange in the sky flying, that appeared to explode and fall in the woods, though the villagers at first thought a plane crash and not a UFO incident and reported that the smell from the smoke was very unpleasant like the sulfur smell of fireworks. Online services did not confirm this was a plane crash, no official news of a crash was released although witnesses confirm the presence of task force and fire brigade, and in the morning emergency response aircraft rose from the area.
After that all the residents in one voice declared that they saw a flying saucer, and Aleksei watched the bright glow from the window of his home and states,
'I've only seen something like this before in movies.'
(News reporter asks) 'Do you believe in UFOs at all?'
Aleksei responded, 'I do not know but I saw this with my own eyes, and you can believe that or not but I saw it'.
The Director of Astronomical Conservatory Sergey contacted some witnesses and residents of neighboring villages who had seen the explosion and said they may have seen a stony meteorite. He said,
'It was a bright flash the witnesses said like a camera flash. It was not clear what was the actual light source: The flash of light lit everything in fact. That sounds very similar to the fall and high altitude midair destruction of a large meteorite. It is not surprising to me that the M.O.E. nor the police have not found any traces of a fall.'
After such an explosion astronomers say there may be no large fragments. Some meteorites crumble into dust."
Since these reports, there is not much more coming out on this. Opinion has it that the Russian Military has taken over and the information is now classified.
;)ongoing case? or just a hoax?
