A study by Ukraine’s Main Astronomical Observatory has shed new licht on unco, fast-muivin aerial objects. Yaisin heich-tech imagin methods, scientists observed UAPs—unidentified aerial phenomena—in three gey different settins. The wark pynts oot objects that trot oor skies wi speeds abuin Mach 2.5 an seem as dark as a bare black cloot.

In ae set o tests, astronomers set up twa camera stations in Kyiv an in the village o Vinarivka. Daylicht shots recorded bricht an dark objects wi muckle, spinnin an structured shapes. Ae object wis seen by baith cameras at near the same moment. A sma shift in view, measured wi simple trigonometry, fixed the object’s distance at aboot 1,130 kilometre. Wi an estimated size o aroond 3 kilometre, it blurt the line atween a fleetin licht an a vast, muivin mass. The object, that muivit at a speed o 78 km per second, shaws little reflection o the sun. Its albedo comes in at aroond three percent—features o an awfy dark body in the sky.

A second case comes fae the realm o the Muin. A French astronomer aince shared a video capturin three objects that raised abuin the lunar edge. Ae object crossed the Moon’s face an even cast a clear shaddae on the great Endymion crater. Measurements suggest it stretches near 8 kilometre lang an is a few kilometre wide. The research team’s ain colour studies, made on the Muin’s licht an that o the object, back up thae size estimates. The lunar scenes confirm that these fast objects appear stark an dark whan licht by the Sun.

The third case arose in a war zone. On a nicht patrol, a DJI Mavic 3T drone recorded a dark, disk-shaped object ower Ukraine’s troobled grund. Its shape wis wide an its edge blurred. Video frames, taen in infrared licht, shaw that the object wis spotted near the horizon at an altitude o aboot 8 kilometres. Ower a brief 17-second watch, it sped 14 kilometre at rochly 2.5 times the speed o soond. Its measured width is near 6 kilometre, wi a hicht o aboot 1.5 kilometre. Despite law contrast an a near-pure-black look, the study team made carefu note o the body’s distance an speed wi fine-tuned, millisecond-accurate camera shots.

Ilka set o observations pynts oot a similar picture. The objects—dubbed “Cosmics” if bricht an “Phantoms” if dark—rin at tremendous speeds an are vast in size. They bide in the skies abuin oor cities, near the Moon an in combat zones. Tho they dinnae look like onything we ken, the study yields ainly firm data. Advanced camera wark, synchronised at the ane millisecond level, an carefu colour tests back the claims.

The study shaws that thae dark bodies, wi their law sunlit gleam an great pace, are real objects whase mystery endures. Observers in varied settins—fae city skies an lunar edges tae active battlefields—share the same impressin traits: heich speed, lairge mass, an a stark, near-black look. The sikkin o answers aboot thae wandrin giants will nae doot spur mair wark an mair carefu watch ower the firmament.
