This UFO picture was taken on August 7 2009 at approximately 9:30 PM in the village of Il'inka (Ilinka) in the Tula Oblast of Russia. Three children named Luda Kurenkova, Veronica Prudnikov and Pasha Arbekov were the first ones to noticed the luminous saucer shaped UFO coming over the dark forest. The UFO hung in the air near a cellular tower while the kids started to scream frozen in place. The lights on the tower stopped blinking their normal red and blue glow. The kids decided to grab their portable phone to get a picture of the unidentified flying object. Luda was the only one who was able to shoot a picture of the UFO before her phone battery went completely out. The same thing happened to Veronica's phone even though her batteries were fully charged. After being near the cellular tower the UFO went up in the sky and disappeared. This UFO sighting took all together only 20 seconds but that's was enough to disturb the small village, bringing fame and giving a status of heroes to the three kids. The UFO picture was said to be a montage made by the kids to obtain celebrity. Professional photographer Andrew Varenkov analyzed the photo and declared that there were no obvious signs of forgery and that the children could not make a photo collage of this quality. | Il'inka (Ilinka), Tula Oblast, Russia | August 7 2009 - 9:30 PM | Saucer UFO shape | Credit/Source: Pavel Arbekov, Veronica Prudnikov and Luda Kurenkova
