On the night of December 1 to December 2, an unidentified flying object was observed in Yekaterinburg, which, according to eyewitnesses, hovered over the city, flickered mystically for some time, then disappeared without a trace.
A mysterious UFO, looking like an alien ship from some sci-fi movie, appeared in the black sky over the Shirokaya Rechka area and attracted the attention of a few onlookers who happened to be nearby at such a late hour (after midnight).
The size and origin of the unidentified object is impossible to pinpoint, but one thing is certain: an aircraft with flower-shaped lights cannot be confused with a helicopter, a Chinese flashlight or a cluster of stars. Eyewitnesses managed to capture the UFO on video - the highest quality video can be seen below. The half-minute recording was made by a resident of Yekaterinburg, Rinat Strizhachuk, who did not lose his head, took out a mobile phone and took off the alleged interplanetary ship.
According to Strizhachuk, that night he was driving his car from friends from the Michurinsky residential complex towards the city center along Sukhodolskaya Street. In the area of the Mega shopping center, a man saw a luminous object above the Shirokaya River. It had a central beam and five beams around its circumference. The Yekaterinburg resident stopped, got out of the car and started filming. According to the operator, the UFO hovered about two hundred meters above the ground. He blinked his lights briefly, after which he seemed to evaporate.
Once on YouTube, the video caught the attention of many commentators. There were users who said that this was not a flying saucer, but some kind of outlandish quadcopter with backlight. Other skeptics believed that the video was simply edited in a video editor (which caused a lot of indignation from the residents of Yekaterinburg). Nevertheless, many regulars of the resource believed that Rinat managed to fix a real alien ship or what we call a UFO.
