Telegraph UK (Link) (December 18, 2009) Video
A giant pyramid which appears to be a UFO hovering over the Kremlin has caused frenzied speculation in Russia that it is an alien spacecraft.
The object has been compared to an Imperial Cruiser in the Star Wars films and witnesses estimated it could be up to a mile wide.
Two film clips exist which appear to show the same object and footage has been repeatedly playing on Russian television news channels.
The shots, one taken at night from a car and one during the
day, were both filmed by amateurs.
The ‘craft’ was said to have hovered for hours over Red Square in the Russian
capital.
The clips of the ‘invasion’ have gone to the top of the country’s version of
YouTube.
The identity of the shape has not been confirmed. Russian reports ruled out a
UFO but police refused to comment.
Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO analyst, said 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.”
A spokesman for aerospace journal Jane’s News said: “We have no idea what it
is.”
I watched this video skeptically and I'm not convinced it's real but it's definitely well done and worth a look. You get an occasional glimpse of the driver of the car and his expression seems appropriate and genuine. What you don't see is any reaction from other people in viewing range of the object. When the car turns onto a busy street with the floating pyramid in plain view, traffic flows normally. Either Russians are very complacent when faced with history-making events or nobody saw the thing that wasn't really there.
I saw Mt. St. Helens blow on a clear day from Seattle, long after the massive eruption. I think that's an equivalent event to this. In Seattle, people slammed on their brakes in the middle of the streets and skidded to a halt. People filled the rooftops of office buildings, companies shut down so people could watch the plume. OK, it was the middle of the night in Moscow, but nobody stopped to get out and look. Seems odd.
