Russia: Amazing UFO filmed near Moscow, video

A UFO was allegedly seen by a number of witnesses hovering above a shopping mall in a satellite town of Moscow in Russia early last month. One lucky witness managed to film the craft with astonishing results. The footage below shows the very clear outline of a disc shaped craft that suddenly vanishes towards the end of the clip.

The sighting took place in the town of Kashira, on the outskirts of Russia's capital city Moscow. The UFO was spotted above the well-known Kisharsky Shopping Mall, leading some local UFO researchers to speculate that it may have been tapping into the Mall's substantial energy system.

UFO sightings and footage have never been more frequent in Russia and many local ufologists believe that aliens will soon be openly revealing their presence on our planet.

Russia: Amazing UFO filmed near Moscow, video

Hey, Joe, as you probably recall, I often make fun of the UFO videos and photos posted on the web. But I have to say that this one is a little less goofy than most. The most interesting thing about it to me is this: after the object suddenly darts off to the left, there is one frame (and one frame only) which shows it re-appearing on the other side of the building as it continues leftward. This would seem to show that it wasn't just some floating model that somebody jerked to the left from behind the building. Whatever it was, it continued its flight beyond the building towards the left. And it was out of sight by the time the camera person could zoom back out and look around for it. According to my frame count, the re-appearance of the object on the left side of the building is nine frames after it begins its jag to the left.

Whatever it was, it was something flying in the air and it definitely went behind the building and re-appeared on the other side, moving very quickly. If the Russians have a craft that will hover and then suddenly dart away like that, they're doing pretty good work. And if it's a complete fake, it's a good one, quite entertaining...

Watched the video. I love a good UFO story, but I’m not buying this.

Looks fake to me, but then they all look fake or misinterpreted, when I look at them.

I find it amusing that the term UFO is commonly used to describe something that is ascribed an extraterrestrial origin. UFO nuts apparently don't understand what the word "unidentified" means.

This reminds me of one of the most convincing UFO sightings of the 1970s. It was a video (possibly a movie) taken with a high quality camera, looking north on Catalina Island. The camera was well focused (terrain hundreds of yards from the camera, was quite clear), but the object was blurred by atmospheric haze, since it was fairly distant and near the horizon. It was "obviously" moving too slowly to be an Earthly aircraft.

Many years later, a serious investigation was conducted. There is a lot of redundancy from frame to frame in a video or movie, and all of the images were (digitally) laid on top of one another, to get a clearer picture of the object.

After combining data from thousands of frames, the analysts were able to read the "N" number from the tail of the Cessna. Then they did one better, and convinced the FAA to do an archive search. The FAA found the flight plan, filed by the pilot, which indicated the airplane was further away than witnesses had believed.

Eventually, the pilot was contacted, and he had a record of the flight in his log book.

Here are two consecutive (enlarged) frames from the video. The first is 8 frames after the object starts its leftward squirt; the second is the 9th frame thereafter. It's quite clear that the 9th frame shows a bit of the object, whereas the 8th frame doesn't. No subsequent frame has any trace of the object in it. It's also worth noting that the little glint of sunlight off the edge of the building on the far left is present in both frames, and the object is clearly situated behind that glint in the 9th frame, as it ought to be if it's really moving from behind the building towards the left.

 

8th frame after the object's leftward move begins (the object is still entirely behind the building)

 

9th frame after the object's leftward move begins (the object emerges from behind the building)

 

I'm not guessing what's going on in this video; I'm just saying that it's entertaining, whatever it is.

I say fake. 2 clues.

3rd clue: just happened to have his camera running and pointed in the exact location where the saucer appeared.........

You don’t know that it is a ‘saucer’, and the ‘camera’ may have been pointed in that direction to record the building and the operator noticed the object in the sky. The object could have been a Russia aircraft flying straight toward the camera albeit far away and made a sharp right turn which looked to the camera/observer like the object was stationary then darts to the observer’s left.

That doesn't fit what I see in the video, MHG. Look at it frame-by-frame...

Okay. But my opinion isn’t going to change anything regarding veracity or lack thereof. But I’ll give it a try ...

Sorry, I didn't make it past the first line-

"A UFO was allegedly seen by a number of witnesses hovering above a shopping mall"

How can you trust witnesses that can hover?

Object appears to move slightly to the oberser’s right then dart left. Other than that, I couldn’t find anything to substantiate it as a ‘flying suacer’. It definitely appears to be a UFO ... since no one has identified what it is.

The video is worth watching . . . .

The pic above is probably as clear a segment as is there.

Sounds like more incremental winding up toward some sort of overt presence.

Sigh.
