The video, taken in Russia by Maxim Rodionov, shows the bright light in the sky on Wednesday evening above his hometown of Zadonsk, south west of Lipetsk.

As he walks toward the phenomenon, Rodionov explains there doesn’t appear to be any sound coming from the object or flashing of the lights which would indicate it was a helicopter or plane.

He raises the question of whether the source of the object is alien life, or perhaps a secret Russian military program.

Andrey Novgorodsky, another resident of the town, explained he said seen the object too and believed it to be alien life.
