Video: Russian ATC tracking a UFO at 9800km/h!

Su Campu

Seems to be a genuine video of from Yakutsk in Siberia. Strange. Could it be space junk?

Would space junk change direction like that?

Yeah I was wondering that myself, if it were descending then it could meet winds from a different direction, but it's way too steady for that, plus it's going at 10,000km/h and the altitude remains at 19kms!!! I really haven't a clue what it could be!:mad:

Steyr

Missile perhaps?? I didnt see an Airspeed Indication just 0000 on the top.

aurora

Sterling Archer

+1 probably the americans

It's the X-37B.:pac: But it does 28,000km/h not 10k.

Obvious fake but fun nonetheless.

Ya reckon? Fake as in the video itself or the actual radar screen? I wondered that myself but it seemed fairly legit to me. And my Russian's not great but the background chatter did seem normal ATC exchanges.

There was some discussion on another forum about it. Someone with expertise in radar pointed out obvious (to him) flaws on the screen.

But apart from that, what is obvious is the simple fact that there is nothing capable of moving at that speed and the most obvious conclusion when you see something like that on the internet is that somebody faked it. Because sadly there are no alien spacecraft flitting about having fun with us but plenty of people who want to believe there is.

"what is obvious is the simple fact that there is nothing capable of moving at that speed" ..... ? you serious?

this was in the news the other day :

now that is something that is in the public eye, something that is not top secret. Imagine what the DoD has that they would warrent as being top secret! how long was the sr-71 covered under wraps at the skunk works before the public were told about it?

there is arguable something out there that can fly at those speeds.

basically, we know that an aircraft exists that is capable of more than 7,200km/h at and we know that there are several other aircraft types aswell that can fly easily at above 26,000 meters.

so who's to say nothing exists that can fly at 9,800 km/h at 19,780 meters???

and that's not to mention pete knights x-15 flight in the 1960's where he attained the velocity of 7,274 km/h .... that was 50 years ago.
