A group of Ukrainian soldiers were left scratching their heads when their reconnaissance drone spotted a sizeable saucer-shaped object hovering in the sky. The peculiar UFO sighting reportedly occurred earlier this month as the country's 406th Battalion was using a thermal-imaging UAV to keep an eye out for Russian adversaries. The exercise took a strange turn, however, when the drone caught sight of a cylindrical craft off in the distance.
The weird anomaly understandably sparked a spirited debate among the soldiers operating the UAV with one of the men wondering what the object could be and why it was not moving. As the group observed the object, one of the soldiers marveled that it was a UFO, while another expressed confusion over the fact that the sizeable object was not firing on the drone. Although they attempted to get a closer look at the oddity by zooming in on it, this provided little clarity as it simply resembled a floating disc.
One curious detail from the incident is that a soldier notes that the object is visible in infrared, but cannot be seen using the drone's thermal-imaging system. The tantalizing clip concludes with one of the soldiers asking if they should "ram" the UFO, which one imagines was a suggestion made in jest. As for what the object could have been, barring some kind of secret craft deployed by Russia, some have suggested that the 'flying saucer' was merely an atmospheric mirage.
