A mystery object described by one local news outlet as a "UFO" has been shot down in the southern Russian region of Rostov.
Vasily Golubev, the governor of Rostov oblast, wrote on Telegram that a "small-size object in the shape of a ball" had been discovered flying "in the wind" at an altitude of around one and a half miles on January 3. With the object spotted above the village of Sultan Sala in the region's Myasnikovsky district, Golubev said "the decision was taken to liquidate it."

Putin is a globalist.
It would be great to meet E.T himself.
I don't think he went up.
Could be a waste of Russian air defense hardware to have to shoot down lighter-than-air aluminum sphere decoys.
The sonic boom is caused by the craft interacting with the air. I think the argument is that these things don’t interact with their environment in a conventional way.
How fast?
🤔🤔🤔
Capt. Fravor described a craft moving from in front of him to several miles away…..instantly.
I am not saying I believe any of this. I am just saying that, not producing a sonic boom is not the weirdest part of this.
