UFO? No, possibly a missile
An unidentified object with a trail of light that appeared to be a cosmic phenomenon was visible in the sky in Kolkata and several districts on Thursday evening. The light, visible for a few minutes after 5.40pm, had the Internet buzzing. UFO theories started doing the rounds, as did speculations about a possible meteorite.
Subhabrata Datta, curator of MP Birla Planetarium, said what Kolkatans saw was “in all likelihood” the light trail of a missile test-fired from the Odisha coast. “The DRDO test-fired AGNI V, an intercontinental ballistic missile, from an island off the Odisha coast, on Thursday,” said Datta.
