The World for People who Think
Fire in the Sky
A 30-year-old YouTube user from Spain, ToniAmazing7, posted a UFO video online with a title that indicated that the video was recorded somewhere over Spain on July 8, 2012. Unfortunately, those claims have turned out to be untrue. The video was actually recorded at least one month ago, allegedly in Iraq, making this another case of recycled UFO video footage. If you haven't seen it yet, it is still worth a look regardless of where and when it was actually recorded.
The video shows an extraordinarily bright line in the sky that gradually opened into a sphere with a cone-shaped tip. The cone and sphere both eventually dissipated as if they were made of smoke, but they left behind a bright, spiral-shaped trail in the dark sky that lingered indefinitely. In the past, some spiral-shaped unidentified flying objects have been attributed to failed missile launches.
The video actually appears to be turned 180 degrees so the horizon is shown vertically along the right side of the image. That means the UFO in the video was actually moving straight up from the ground, not horizontally across the sky as it seems at first glance.

It helps point to some explanation to something I thought was very strange. That was the way that woman got in front of the camera at the end, completely ignoring what was going on in the sky. Like it was utterly unimportant. My initial reaction was that she was just ignorant and self-important, but now I wonder... Very strange.
