Earlier this month a number of residents of St. Petersburg, Russia witnessed a UFO hovering just above their inner-city apartment buildings. At least one witness managed to film the UFO with a camera phone.

The UFO appeared to be triangular in shape with three glowing blue lights arranged at sixty degree angles. The craft appeared out of nowhere and floated above the city before vanishing into the night sky. The two unnamed witnesses interviewed in this clip are certain that what they saw and recorded was not of earthly origin.

‘Days later we still talk of the event as if it was some kind of miracle. Prior to this I was the last person to believe that aliens are visiting our planet in UFOs but now I am re-considering my attitudes’.

This UFO sighting comes right after an announcement by one of Russia’s leading geologists, Professor Alexander Portnov, that human beings probably originated on Mars and were brought to Earth by aliens around 10,000 years ago after a catastrophic climate shift left that planet uninhabitable.

Professor Portnov bases this theory partly on images taken by NASA’s exploration rover, 'Spirit', that show possible remains of artificial structures and evidence of a once thriving eco-system.

NOTE: Pfr. Portnov's theory is interesting, but I'm not buying it...at least for now. As for the UFO, I've read all sorts of speculation including US 'Black Ops'. Since the Russians are known to have a heavy trigger finger, I seriously doubt that speculation. Anyway, it's one of many triangle shaped UFOs that are being reported worldwide. So what are we to make of the large number of sightings?... Lon
