Russia's air defences have claimed to have shot down a mystery UFO near the Sea of Azov after they saw a 'small-size object in the shape of a ball' in the sky.
Regional governor of Rostov Oblast, Vasily Golubev, said a "small-size object in the shape of a ball", much like a UFO, had been destroyed by anti-aircraft missiles on Tuesday, January 3.
The regional governor wrote on Telegram that the 'object' had been spotted over the village of Sultan Sala in the region's Myasnikovsky district, at an altitude of around one and a half miles.
