Was it a UFO?
In the sky, men have spotted a striking object over Essen.
They filmed the whole thing with their cell phones.
Can the strange sighting be explained?
Food - It was around 4.55am when two shift workers saw a bright light in the sky.
One even pulled out his cell phone and filmed.
“Shortly before the start of the shift, I was standing in the company car park with a colleague to have a quick smoke.
We both saw this light in the sky," said one of the witnesses, as the portal
Grenzwissenschaften.de
reports about the possible UFO alarm over Germany.
It was a "bright, linear or cylindrical phenomenon".
In total it took about 60 seconds.

What is behind the light object?
Initial comparisons with other flight activities and flight movements in the region could not initially explain the sighting on March 4th.
Since the recording was also a video and not a long exposure, many people racked their brains about the unusual light phenomenon.
Had the two men perhaps seen a UFO - an undefined flying object?
At the latest since the US Pentagon published videos of Navy pilots with strange flying objects, such unidentified aerial phenomena (“Unidentified Aerial Phenomena”) are no longer dismissed as just crazy.
UFO in the sky over Germany: Website launches call for further witness information
“It stood in the sky or flew as you can see on the video.
Fast, but not raging or jerking away, as is known from some other UFO videos," Grenzwissenschaften.de quoted
the eyewitness as
saying .
The website immediately launched a call to collect more witness information on the alleged UFO sighting.
Again and again people observe objects in the sky that cannot be assigned and are looking for an answer.
UFO sighting over Germany: Elon Musk's Starlink satellite "G4-9" as the cause
And less than 24 hours later it is clear: "The satellite trains from Elon Musk's Starlink satellites, the train with the identifier "G4-9" could be identified as the cause of the phenomenon." Evidence from the trajectory data and the sighting matched, so the conclusion.
Depending on the viewing angle, the new train of the Starlink satellites could be seen as a single coherent light object in the sky.
The unusual appearance would evolve over the coming weeks and into the classic "string of pearls in the night sky."

"After the start, the satellites are relatively close together, very low and therefore very noticeable for occasional observers," Rainer Kresken, head of the Hessian Starkenburg observatory, told the dpa news agency.
The gigantic Starlink project first caused irritation in 2019.
There are now 1,469 Starlink satellites in the sky.
UFO or UPA?
Mysterious sightings in the sky
UFO | undefinable flying objects |
UAP | Unidentified Aerial Phenomena - undefinable aerial phenomena |
UFOs - Unusual luminous phenomenon in the sky - easy explanation with correct data
UFOs or aliens are always a topic.
Bizarre photos and stories of objects that are said to be of extraterrestrial origin often spread on the Internet.
Even if a UFO isn't a UFO, it could be a UPA - an unidentified aerial phenomenon.
For a long time, science wanted nothing to do with these natural phenomena.
In Germany, Prof. Dr.
Hakan Kayal for space technology from the University of Würzburg with these phenomena.
In order to be able to explain unknown celestial phenomena, the researcher develops technical systems to observe and analyze them.
Many phenomena are easy to explain if enough data are available.
Expert on UFO Sightings: Don't Rule Out Extraterrestrial Intelligence Completely
"Most of these observations relate to known phenomena or objects such as birds, airplanes, satellites or clouds," said Prof. Hakan Kayal in a press statement on his research.
"But for a small proportion, the cause remains unexplained, even after intensive investigation by experts."
It is about three percent, which unfortunately is still unknown, says Prof. Kayal in the BR interview.
It could be unknown natural phenomena, secret technical systems used for military purposes.
But, even extraterrestrial intelligence should not be completely ruled out.
It is important to collect data and facts.
Taking research on unidentified flying objects seriously - consequences for society
"I think it's very important to study these phenomena, no matter what the research turns out to be," says Kayal.
It is important to take these phenomena seriously and not to smile at them.
Because results, no matter which ones, would have consequences for society, in his opinion.
UFOs in the US?
In 2020, the Pentagon will release footage of "unidentified flying objects" for which there has apparently been no explanation for 16 years.
US fighter pilots are said to have observed unidentified flying objects off the US east coast during a training mission on the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt in 2004 and 2015.
