A mysterious UFO spotted in the night sky above several districts of West Bengal, India last week had locals wondering what exactly was happening.

Footage of the glowing UFO posted to social media led to much speculation as to what it was and why it suddenly vanished without a trace.

According to the Mirror

The strange conical shapes light looks like a torch’s beam, but it’s far too high in the sky and the light appears from nowhere, as the Daily Star reports. At the beginning of the trail, there is a small glowing orb that resembles a meteorite or a reversed rocket launch, but witnesses said the light disappeared in an instant – ruling out both explanations.

The Daily Star reports…

Some local UFO buffs claimed the sight was of an alien ship, while others reckoned it was a satellite, with one resident saying: “It is very close,” with another commenting: “Doesn’t it look like a UFO. The light has vanished.”

Initially, officials were just as concerned and launched an investigation into what could have caused the phenomena.

As social media in India was flooded with people wanting an explanation for the strange UFO, many guesses were made.

Some expressed that they believed the object was a meteor or comet.

“People are scared of what is this. We didn’t listen to any sound like aircraft totally silent we see only light, sometimes after it disappeared in the sky,” one Twitter user wrote.

After much speculation, India Today claimed that what locals actually witnessed in the night sky was just “the latest operational test of Agni-V, India’s long-range, nuclear-capable, surface-to-surface ballistic missile.”

The missile was launched from the APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast and the government had cleared massive airspace for the test launch, which spread over 5,000 kilometers. Agni-V can bring almost the entire Asia, including the northernmost part of China, as well as some regions in Europe under its striking range. The Agni 1 to 4 missiles have ranges from 700 km to 3,500 km.

If true, is that any less scary than a UFO? And why did it suddenly vanish?

And does it also explain these other UFO sightings near the same location?

The truth is out there.
