Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a…a UFO?
Over the past two weeks, reports of UFO sightings across the country have increased, and now reported sightings have popped up in Salina.
While many attribute the increase in sightings across the country to the December 21st end of the world conspiracy theory, the Salinans who have seen something in the sky over the past two weeks say they don’t believe the world is ending, nor do they believe in aliens, but they do believe they saw something strange in the sky over the city.
We received the first report on December 6th, with a request to review footage from the Salina Sky Cam. Shawn Jennings, of Salina, reported that he saw an object with two strange lights near the water tower at Sunset Park early that morning. He reported that he saw the object hovering near the area for approximately 15-20 minutes. Jennings and a friend took photos but they were too dark to analyze and the Salina Sky Cam was pointed in another direction that morning.
After the initial sighting we stationed the Sky Cam towards the west and on the morning of December 10th, we saw what appeared to be a single light hovering over the city at around 6:29 am. The photo quality is poor (Sky Cam was not intended for night viewing) but you can clearly see the single light. It was visible on the Sky Cam for nearly 45 minutes.
