UFOS over Moscow?

They are here! A very strange halo shaped cloud registered last week in the skies of Moscow, in Russia, have put the UFO enthusiasts on a frenzy.

Meterologists have spoken up that the cloud was not digitally altered, and a lot of photographs and videos showing the phenomena are already online to prove that it was observed by a lot of people.
