No, That Wasn’t a UFO Over Northern Virginia This Morning
The fireball in the sky was scary, but not alien per se.
Tuesday night, it felt like the world was ending. On Wednesday morning, it looked like it. People on Reddit reported witnessing what they thought was a UFO lighting up the sky above Northern Virginia. No need to fear extraterrestrials, though: Turns out it was a massive meteor shooting across the country early this morning, merely hours after the black hole that was the presidential debate.
“Please tell me someone else saw a UFO while driving on 7 to Leesburg this morning at 6:30 AM,” wrote “RDMLCrunch” on Reddit. “I’m not joking I swear to god. It glowed red for a few seconds, then with a blue tail like a torch it shot forward at a cartoonish speed and was just gone. I just want to know that someone else saw it, this is legit fucking with my brain right now.”
Not a bad description, since this is what fireball actually looked like:
The American Meteor Society, which researches all meteor-related activity, reported receiving hundreds of reports on the great bright ball of fire from DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and elsewhere. It was likely from the annual Southern Taurids meteor shower, which is active this time of year. Basically, the meteors are flaming masses of dust and debris from a comet. (Earth is just orbiting into that mess, so we’re seeing the light show as a result.) In this case, the Taurids label indicates that the fireball comes from Encke’s Comet.
Oh and those comet particles? They’re called fireballs because they’re literally planet-size. Comparable to Venus, specifically. Nothing to see here, this is totally normal but yes it does look like the sky is falling.

Secret Government files show county UFO reports
JUST weeks after a mysterious circle of lights was seen in the sky by people living in Tenbury it has been revealed that dozens of reports of UFO sightings in the county have been revealed after previously confidential Government files were published.
There has been no explanation for the recent sighting in Tenbury.
The files show 21 reports of unidentified flying objects made from people across Worcestershire between 1997 and 2009.
Several reports were made in Worcester involving teddy bear-shaped objects, moon-sized balloons and red and yellow stars.
A sighting was reported in Worcester in August 1997 where a UFO “the size of an aircraft” travelled across the sky at huge speed.
In 1998, reports were made of extremely bright, oval-shaped objects slowly moving across the sky in Evesham as well as round, white, erratic objects in Kidderminster.
A black teddy bear-shaped object moving rapidly through the sky was also reported in Bewdley, Hereford and Worcester. Very bright round objects and shooting stars moving slowly then rapidly were reported in the early hours in Worcester in 1999 and 2001.
On New Year’s Eve 2001, a star-shaped object “pulsated and then vanished” in Malvern.
A “big, round, bright star” coloured yellow and red moved upwards in Worcester according to one report in April 2002.
In 2003, a helium-type balloon the “size of a moon” with blue and red lights was reported to have moved across the sky in Worcester. Seven to eight spherical objects moved in a straight line across the sky in Droitwich.
A report of several noiseless lights flying “rapidly” in a V-shape before splitting up and vanishing leaving no visible trail was made in Malvern in 2009 and the final report to be documented in the files shows a “strong” orange craft hovering across the skies in Evesham in October 2009.
The Ministry of Defence stopped taking UFO reports after December 2009.

GREEN BAY — Have you ever seen a UFO? Well, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has and he shared his experience on the Pat McAfee Show Tuesday.
That's right, 15 years ago Rodgers saw a UFO in the sky and he's still talking about it to this day.
"It was a snowy night. It was orange and moving in the clouds from left to right and the bizarre part that was attached to it was after it was out of sight we were frozen looking at each other wondering what the hell just happened... 30 seconds after that we heard fighter jets," said Rodgers.
Rodgers said there were three fighter jets that appeared to be chasing after whatever it was that he saw.
From then on, Rodgers started researching and looking into what he may have seen.
"After that, I really got into researching that because we had a story that we couldn't explain," said Rodgers. "It was something that I definitely got into and was interested more in. I've done some research over the years, and I've had some other interesting experiences as well but that was probably the most vivid."

Cosmonauta annuncia: "Quando incontrerò gli alieni sarò cordiale con loro."
Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, astronauta che partirà questo mese sul razzo Soyuz per andare sulla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale nell'ambito della missione Expedition 64, durante una conferenza gli è stata posta una domanda molto curiosa, ovvero, cosa farebbe se incontrasse gli alieni nello spazio?
"Penso sia normale mostrare cordialità con la vita extraterreste, se dovessimo incontrarla, così come facciamo quando incontriamo la vita intelligente e non intelligente sulla Terra"
