Does this video show stricken UFO plummeting to Earth? Footage filmed in skies over Russia prompts heated debate
A video shot in Russia has got UFO watchers excited after some claimed it was an alien vehicle plunging into the earth.
The video was shot by Russian man Mikhail Litvinov who said he spotted the device leaving a huge plume of gas behind it as it plunged to earth on the outskirts of the central Russian city of Kemerovo.
It quickly attracted thousands of views as people debated what it could be, with many pointing out it was too slow to be a meteorite, but producing too much of a gas trail to be an aeroplane.
Is this a UFO crashing to the ground outside of Russian city?
