With the country being engulfed in war with Russia for many months now, it was very likely that those UFOs were military tools, according to a U.S. intelligence agency source.
UFO sightings over Kyiv
As per the report, Ukrainian astronomers took many steps to capture and observe these strange phenomena, which are called UAP or ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’ but what the truth of what actually were remained unclear.
The scientists’ team leading the investigation are quoted as saying,
We observe a significant number of objects whose nature is not clear. We see them everywhere.
These scientists in their paper, divided UAPs into two categories: cosmics and phantoms.
Cosmics are luminous and brighter than the background sky, while phantoms are dark and appear ‘completely black.’
Harvard astronomer’s reasoning for the sightings
As reported byVice, an explanation of the sightings has now been provided by Avi Loeb, who is a leading voice in the study of extraterrestrial life and former chair of the Astronomy Department in Harvard University.
Leob has just published a draft of his finding online. According to the paper, the sightings are, ‘fully consistent with the size and speed of artillery shells.’ This implies that the UFOs in Ukraine are sightings of artillery, according to the reasoning offered by Leob.
As per the interview he gave Vice, Ukraine is not the right setting for any UAPs due to the noise and disturbance caused by the war. He is quoted as saying,
In science, we’re trying to minimize the noise so that we can pick up the signal and therefore Ukraine would be the last palace on earth where I would search for unidentified aerial phenomena… The noise level is so high.
