Footage has emerged showing a suspected UFO ‘zig-zagging’ above a nuclear power plant. The mysterious bright lights were spotted hovering repeatedly above the largest nuclear station in India, sparking concerns over its safety.
Indian police investigator Syed Abdul Kader filmed a bright speck of light making darting movements in the night sky above the plant.
He fears the flying object is an extraterrestrial visitor, and he is not the only one concerned over it.
For years, India’s leading UFO expert Sabir Hussain, with backing from former US military experts, has urged for more serious action after several unexplained sightings near the country’s nuclear facilities.
Kader’s shaky video shows a bright dot flying roughly at the altitude of an airplane on August 8 last year.
The excited UFO spotter told his wife as he followed the unusual object: ‘It’s shaking when it’s moving! It’s going up and down’.
He claimed the way it moves means ‘this could never be an airplane’.
Speaking to MailOnline, he said: ‘It’s in a southern direction.
‘It’s standing [or hovering] in the direction of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant’.
His wife can be heard saying on the video obtained by the outlet: ‘It is always coming in at this time, when it is not too dark, nor too bright.
‘I’ve seen this many times’.
The alleged sighting could be caused by the constant camera movement.
Sometimes planets like Jupiter and Mercury or Sirius star have been mistakenly reported as UFOs.
But common bright planets don’t offer an explanation to Kader’s sighting which was captured at 7.30pm local time, MailOnline reports.
A sky map for his hometown Tirunelveli shows that Venus was completely obscured at that time, below the western horizon and below the sunset, the outlet argued.
The nuclear plant is located around 50 miles south of Tirunelveli near the Indian southern tip.
Kader’s wife is heard saying ‘it’s so close’ before she asks ‘how come no one else is seeing this?’
The police officer replies: ‘No, that’s why the DGP [Director General of Police] he, himself, has seen it [the UFOs]. And that’s why everybody’s talking about this.’
