UFO witnessed during Russian protests

[Foxlike Mulder]

Here is an article on a huge sighting in Russia in the last day or so. The issue isn't whether it was there or not, thousands saw it, it was whether it was extraterristrial or not. Some were calling it (possibly) a spy probe...but it was definitely unique (and unidentified!).

That video is quite interesting. I will wait for it to get examined by someone who is good at such things.

What are the odds that many by-standers had camera phones and we get one blurry video out of it? I see no way to make heads nor tails out of the video as it stands. But, it seems to flutter in the breeze and I've never seen videos of alien craft 'fluttering'.

There are now several videos...it does seem that many are now able to identify what it was, which is a drone/probe (with cameras). RT had much better video of the event which clearly shows a camera and other more terrestrial technology when seen from a closer angle. I was going to send the link to RT's coverage, but it's no longer on the main site as of this morning. Other news outlets are reporting the same however. This has been quickly explained. One item of note, drones/probes are being used more and more frequently, even now in the US. There was a drone incident in North Dakota earlier last week.

That is even scarier if it is a drone watching the people just like the movie They Live.

That is the Parot AR Drone, heavily modified without the foam body. It sells for $299 and up and can be flown with any Android OS and iOS device like an iPad or iPhone. Most likely the Russian FSB police were checking out the protest.
