Sverdlovsk Region Haunted by Green UFO

The observation of the phenomenon was rather unique, as the object was filmed by several cameramen from all the sides

On the night of June 20, citizens of the Russian cities of Yekaterinburg and Pervouralsk observed an unidentified flying object high in the skies. Witnesses describe the phenomenon as something resembling a bright beautiful comet.

Here is the rest of the story:

It is interesting that eye-witnesses feel nervous and anxious each time the green object emerges in the sky; local fishermen observe the phenomenon oftener than other people and say the object intensifies their thirst for alcoholic drinks.

I think you have your answer.... This is Russia after all..."intensifies their thirst for alchohol"...bah! That's like saying that something can intensify a Scot's need for Alchohol,

Funny, it mentions a repeating pattern.... Perhaps its a side effect of the SR-71's replacement?
