Enormous glowing ball over northern Siberia sparks UFO fears

Russia has been hit by a wave of reports of a giant UFO in the sky last night with spectacular pictures of an enormous glowing ball illuminating northern Siberia.

Social media erupted with claims of 'aliens arriving' and locals in far flung parts of the country told of 'shivers down their spines'.

While the source of the light remains unclear, some have suggested that it was the the trace of a rocket launched by the Russian military that caused this extraordinary phenomenon in the night sky.

Vasily Zubkov posted: 'I went out to smoke a cigarette and thought it was the end of the world.' The extraordinary scenes were captured by leading Siberian photographer Sergey Anisimov in the town of Salekhard which straddles the Arctic Circle. 'I was taken aback for a few minutes, not understanding what was happening,' he said.

'The glowing ball rose from behind the trees and moved in my direction. 'My first thought was about the most powerful searchlight, but the speed of changing everything around changed the idea of what was happening. 'The ball began to turn into an arc and gradually dissipated.' After the multi-coloured light show was over he went home to find local children as young as five in the yard babbling about 'aliens' and 'the portal to another dimension', he said.

One of the comments on the Daily Mail is great: “You see, I told you we were living in a Lava Lamp.”

I’m sure it has something to do with the galactic vegas shooting conspiracy.

Gotta love The daily Mail. Whatever the story is, there’s always a ton of photos going into great deal - something you don’t see here.

Towards the end of the embedded vid I heard a female voice saying, “what is that?” English in a Siberian town? Unusual.
