Thousands of Russian residents saw a UFO in the sky: photographs and explanation

On the night of July 10, 2024, residents of dozens of Russian cities saw a UFO in the sky. The bright object, around which luminous circles radiate, was observed by citizens of Moscow, St. Petersburg and various regions of the country. In the last century, people would have thought it was a flying saucer or other device of alien origin. But today we all know that the term “unidentified flying object” does not mean aliens, but any flying devices that cannot be immediately recognized. No, an alien spaceship did not fly over Russia – the next morning it became clear to everyone what it was.

Photos of UFOs over Russia in July 2024

An unidentified object in the night sky was seen by residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg, and messages about it were published on social networks from the Belgorod, Bryansk and Rostov regions. The photographs below show that we are talking about a bright object of an elongated shape, from which luminous circles emanate.

The object was visible in the night sky for a short time, and over time it disappeared. Perhaps someone was impressed and thought they were aliens. But some people who follow astronautics news almost immediately realized what it was.

Successful launch of the Ariane-6 rocket

The unidentified object over Russia turned out to be the European Ariane-6 launch vehicle. At 21:01 pm, July 9, it just took off from the Kourou spaceport, which is located in the French department of Guiana. The launch was supposed to take place an hour earlier, but before takeoff, engineers discovered a problem that actually turned out to be minor. The space rocket successfully entered the specified orbit and the flight can be considered successful.

This was the test flight of Ariana 6, which is very important for the European Space Agency (ESA). Until now, the European agency had to use the services of SpaceX to deliver cargo into space. After the successful launch of the Ariane 6 rocket, the agency became independent and can carry out launches independently.

Before the launch, European Space Agency Director General Josef Aschbacher emphasized that “Ariane 6 will take Europe into space and make history.” That is, it was really a very important launch.

It is worth noting that the launch was successful, but the mission could not be called ideal.

According to the Financial Times, at the very end of the test flight, the rocket experienced a serious malfunction in its auxiliary power unit. According to the plan, the upper stage of the rocket had to be returned to Earth. But due to a breakdown, this was not possible, so now the upper stage of Ariane 6 will revolve around our planet until it collides with the atmosphere and burns up in it. This may take several years.

Encounters between people and aliens

People regularly mistake spaceships for aliens. And none of these cases turned out to be real – there are no known cases of contact with extraterrestrial intelligence.

An example is a case that occurred in Brazil in 2020. Then thousands of local residents saw an unidentified flying object in the sky, which glowed with blue, red and yellow lights. In some videos you could notice that they are arranged in the shape of a triangle.

After this mysterious incident, many posts mentioning UFOs were deleted. However, it was found in Google maps – the satellite captured the object as it flew near the forests of Rio de Janeiro. According to company representatives, this is simply a reflection that overloaded the satellite's sensor.

Perhaps people saw some kind of secret device that no one should know about. That's why posts with him were deleted so quickly. Be that as it may, the mysterious object is unlikely to be of alien origin. Most likely, this is something created by people.

< p>In the second half of the 20th century, aliens were generally a favorite topic of many people. Some men and women have claimed that they were abducted by aliens and subjected to scientific experiments. Of course, all these stories were made up in order to attract attention. The same goes for stories in which farmers found crop circles.
