Residents of Mogappair claimed to have sighted an unidentified flying object (UFO) on Thursday night.
Around 8.55 p.m. on Thursday, V.S. Ragunathan, a bank officer, saw five specks of bright orange light moving from the south to the north in the sky. “The spots appeared in batches of five and disappeared after a few seconds,” said Mr. Ragunathan.
His wife and daughter and some of their neighbours too witnessed the spectacle.
“There was no sound at all and the bright object was flying higher than an aeroplane. Some of our neighbours too saw it,” said Jayalakshmi, Ragunathan’s wife.
According to P. Iyamperumal, executive director, Tamil Nadu Science and Technology Centre, the bright objects could be a result of meteor showers. “But the season for meteor showers is usually in November and December,” he said. The air traffic control officials at Chennai Airport said they did not receive any reports of foreign flying objects.
