It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a…ballistic missile?!

When people recently spotted the missile's rocket trail, they thought it was a UFO. It’s actually a test launch of "Topol," Russia’s intercontinental ballistic missile. It was launched from inside Russia and successfully hit its test target in Kazakhstan.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence said that the launch was part of a routine equipment test. Of course, that's just what the aliens would want you to think.
