I haven’t seen anything, but apparently there was a mass UFO sighting. The News-Kazakhstan agency (Kaz-Tag) has video of a glowing ball moving about which would be more convincing if we could see anything else in the shot at all. A photo posted on the same site also shows a tiny white blur in the sky, but the photo is so low quality that it looks like there might be a phalanx of 6 low-flying UFOs too, although those are likely just city lights.

Even if the evidence isn’t overly convincing, apparently many residents of Astana and Kostanai reported seeing a slow-moving glowing ball in the sky between 7:30 and 7:45am, the 28th. Officials think it was likely a rocket taking off from Baykanour. Apparently the Russians don’t always tell them when a rocket takes off (although so many rocket launches get press attention). However officials are unable to explain why people in Pavlodar claimed to have also seen a UFO the week before.

If it was a UFO, I just hope it doesn’t have a ten-foot tall robot with it that can destroy metal and shut off electricity from the whole planet.
