UFOs Over Ukraine

Ukraine’s airspace has been busy this year—that’s the nature of war. But scientists in the country are looking to the skies and seeing something they didn’t expect: An inordinate number of UFOs, according to a new preprint paper published by Kyiv’s Main Astronomical Observatory in coordination with the country’s National Academy of Science.

The paper does not specifically address the war, but in the United States, the Pentagon has long hinted, speculated, and warned that some UFOs could be advanced technology from foreign militaries, specifically China and Russia (though it hasn’t really given any evidence this is actually the case). The Ukraine paper is particularly notable because it not only shows that science has continued to occur during the war, but also explains that there have been a lot of sightings.

“We see them everywhere,” the research said. “We observe a significant number of objects whose nature is not clear.”

The paper is titled Unidentified aerial phenomena I. Observations of events come from observations made at NAS’ Main Astronomical Observatory in Kyiv and a village south of Kyiv called Vinarivka. According to the paper’s authors, the observatories took on the job of hunting for UFO’s as an independent project because of the enthusiasm around the subject.

all the time and many had never even heard of them, we were on vacation traveling to NJ and upstate NY, we were in an area in maybe VA, where it seemed like no people lived, suddenly it looked like a UFO (we thought) just appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the afternoon, it was so unsettling we pulled over talking about if we should call someone. This was pre 9/11, but we were shook. Seems silly now, I imagine they were just testing it, but to this day that still gives me chills.

somewhere near Groton Conn. It was a beautiful day, nice wind and we were humming along.
We start to hear this loud humming or thrumming all around us coming from the water. Not a ship or boat in sight..Very spooky.
The next thing that happended was about 100 yards away from us this HUGE black cigar shapped thing comes out of the water. It just did not surface, it like breached like a whale and then crashed back into the water.
Needless to say it scared the living shit out of us!! we were in a tiny 27' sailboat

that would have scared the living bejesus out of me. 😬
We stopped at an island we used to hang out at, we were only stopping for a second that night, this was in the river, but right across the channel from the inlet.
My husband, his friend, and our sons when they were little, got out and did what they needed to do. I stayed on the boat, all of a sudden I saw the biggest I don't know what it was and it came up right next to the boat and it made a big wake even. It wasn't a manatee or a dolphin, we have a certain kind of whale that like migrates down here in November but that's the only kind of whales we get and this was in the spring. I think about that a lot, I still wonder what it was. Scared me to death, I jumped off the boat onto the island and ran, I didn't care about my clothes getting wet anymore.😬😳

I would assume there's been a large number of drones and surveillance aircraft (of both friend and foe origin) flying about throughout this conflict, which could account for most of these sightings. Most likely, Ukraine's military services know about much of what's in their skies but sure as hell are not going to publish that intel.

We can bet the USA and other Ukraine allies have been doing recon for their forces constantly, along with providing satellite services.

We can also bet Russia and her axis of evil allies have had a large presence in the skies as well.

Back in the early 80s I was stationed on Diego Garcia Unloading C 5’s and C141’s, SR 71 came in all the time and there was some other stuff, We were hundreds of miles away from land and I saw some things?, technology is 50 years ahead of what we know

The Germans were said to have been working on it during WWII.

The US brought German scientists to the US after the war, and their work was classified.

Would explain the UFO sightings around military installations.

Our vicious warlike violent streak may well be the tipping point for another mass extermination, The Flood II.

Reset their breeding farm experiments for Adam 2.0., Our alien overlords will do as they please.
