The mysterious spiral blue light which was later found to be a Russian missile test was spotted over Norway on Dec 9. The UFO is said to be spotted over the Russian sky on the same night.

LONDON (PTI): A clip of a triangle-shaped alleged UFO that hovered ominously over the Kremlin recently has left Russians baffled and become a YouTube sensation in the country.

The amateur videos, one taken at night from inside a car and another in the day, have not yet been confirmed but Internet forums are abuzz with the sighting.

Russian reports ruled out it as a UFO but police have refused to comment.

The UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) reportedly appeared on December 9, the same night that a mysterious blue spiral light appeared over Norway which was later attributed to a failed missile launch from Russia, The Daily Mail reported.

Though many discarded the footage by saying it might be a mere reflection from inside the cameraman's car, others likened the object to one of the spaceships from Star Wars.

Experts, meanwhile, said if the object, which reportedly hovered for hours over Red Square in the Russian capital, really exists, it could be up to a mile wide.

Some commentators reacted skeptically to the videos as there were no other evidence. Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO analyst, said it was “one of the most extraordinary UFO clips I've ever seen.”

“At first I thought this was a reflection but it appears to move behind a power line, ruling out this theory.”

A spokesman for aerospace journal Jane's News said: “We have no idea what it is.”
