According to a new report from the Main Astronomical Observatory of the
National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, unidentified flying objects
(UFOs) have been spotted over Kyiv. The report was published in the
preprint database arXiv.
Using
specially calibrated cameras at two weather stations in Kyiv and
Vinarivka, a village about 75 miles (120 kilometers) to the south,
astronomers observed dozens of objects “that cannot scientifically be
identified as known natural phenomena,” the report said.
The
researchers divided their UAP observations into two categories:
“cosmics” and “phantoms.” According to the report, cosmics are luminous
objects that are brighter than the background sky. These objects are
designated with birds’ names — such as “swift,” “falcon” and “eagle” —
and have been observed flying solo as well as in “squadrons,” the team
wrote.
The researchers estimated that phantoms range from 10 to
40 feet (3 to 12 meters) wide and can travel at speeds of up to 33,000
mph (53,000 km/h). For comparison, the Lockheed SR-71 blackbird is the
fastest known aircraft, reaching speeds of up to 3,500 km/h....<<<Read More>>>...
