A Ukrainian military drone specialist has shared a fantastic piece of footage showing a remarkably clear view of an odd-looking UFO hovering in the sky. According to a local media report, the jaw-dropping video (seen above) was posted on social media earlier this week by Serhiy Beskrestnov, a senior advisor to the country's Ministry of Defense on UAVs and electronic warfare. In the strange scene, said to have been filmed in May of 2025, a Ukrainian war drone surveils the sky and captures a close-up view of a round UFO that sports six lighted cones and a central illumination.
Appearing to emit some kind of exhaust detected by the drone's heat-detecting camera, the weird ball eerily hovers in the sky as if it were doing its own reconnaissance and not interacting with the Ukrainian UAV. Shedding some insight into the situation, Beskrestnov wrote: "With the beginning of the war, the study of UFOs in our space became more of a military task than a civilian one." The drone specialist subsequently revealed that the country's armed forces "even have a special, detailed document" concerning similar curious cases that have occurred during the conflict with Russia.
Beskrestnov's release of the year-old drone footage seems to have been inspired by the Pentagon posting a 2013 video of a similar object that resembled an eight-pointed star and sparked considerable speculation online over the weekend. "It, therefore, is not only the USA that deals with such issues," the Ukrainian military advisor mused. That said, while the oddity seen in the newly released drone footage and other exotic-looking anomalies observed in the sky may appear to be alien in nature, Beskrestnov suggested that they may actually be "hidden new weapons of our enemy."
