UFO Sighting seen at crash site of Yak-42 plane carrying Russian Lokomotiv hockey team, Sept 2011.




Date of sighting: September 7, 2011
Location of sighting: Volga River in Yaroslavl, Russia


On Wednesday, September 7, 2011 a UFO was seen at the crash site of Yak-42, the aging Soviet-era airplane that went down near the Volga River in Yaroslavl, Russia with the majority of the Russian Lokomotiv hockey team onboard.  All but two passengers on the airplane were killed in the fiery disaster.  In all, 43 lives were lost in the tragic accident.

The New York Times states: "Witnesses said the Yak-42, a Russian-made, three-engine, single aisle plane used mostly for domestic flights, failed to rise swiftly enough after takeoff. It clipped a radar antenna, veered over a village and finished its short flight by crashing into a tributary to the Volga River."


The video was supplied by a 30-year-old named Alexey with an interest in UFOs who lives in in Snezhinsk, Russia.  In the video, smoke can be seen billowing from the ground into the air above the Volga River tributary where the plane crashed.  The UFO is not directly overhead but off to the side above a copse of trees.
