Residents of the village of Sheloma in the Bryansk region have been observing mysterious glowing balls in the sky for several months.

According to the local newspaper "Mayak", a resident of the village of Shelomy reported an unusual phenomenon to the editorial office. Here's how a woman described the first "encounter" with a UFO:

"It all started about three months ago. At night, the room became unusually bright. I went to the window and noticed a glow right above the nearby old cemetery and small multicolored balls moving across the sky. They slowly moved across the sky, then connecting into one, then separating again, then increasing, then decreasing. Since then, this unusual phenomenon has been repeated every night."

Gradually, the rest of the villagers learned about the glowing balls, who in the evening began to gather on the outskirts to see them with their own eyes and speculate about the causes of the mysterious phenomenon. Local residents have put forward several versions of the origin of light bodies: from natural to fantastic.

The journalists themselves were convinced of the truthfulness of the villagers' words when they returned to Shelomy after eight o'clock in the evening.

... now in one direction, then in the other, small luminous dots were moving, and a glow was noticeable among the trees in the cemetery. Gradually, people began to gather to our "observation post": they came and came by cars and even minibuses.

"It's flying, it's flying!" was heard from time to time in the crowd. Everyone was mesmerized by the fiery heavenly dance.

"This is the light from car headlights moving along the highway!" — some claimed.

"No! The track is not visible from here!" - others argued.

To get a closer look at the mysterious balls, everyone rushed across the field, but as soon as we covered half the way, the movement in the sky stopped. After standing on a hillock for a while, we returned back, and a few minutes later the multicolored lights lit up again in the night sky. The culmination of the moment was a yellow ball that appeared out of nowhere, which hovered over the churchyard, and then, absorbing the white glow, began to move slowly from side to side.

What is the reason for this heavenly "phenomenon", it was not possible to find out.

"Anyway, the locals joke that from now on Shelomy will become an anomalous tourist center of the district," the publication summarizes.

Glowing balls in the sky appear over the cemetery in Shelomy

According to Natalia Mikhailovna, a resident of the Novozybkovsky district of the village of Sheloma, the UFO invasion began three months ago. Her house is located not far from the local cemetery, and the woman has been seeing glowing balls often lately. Soon the rest of the villagers found out about this phenomenon. They reported what was happening to local journalists.

Correspondents of the newspaper "Mayak" went to Shelomy. They claim that they also encountered an unusual phenomenon. For example, when they were going to go to the churchyard, the doors in the car were locked from the inside, and the lock completely failed under the skin.

Then our colleagues, accompanied by local residents, went to the cemetery on foot. And they really saw glowing dots moving in the sky. Then a big yellow ball hovered over the churchyard and everything stopped.

Now the residents of Shelom are only discussing this incomprehensible phenomenon. Someone says that a witch is buried in the old cemetery, and she lets fear in.

And skeptics claim that this is just the light from the headlights of cars driving along the highway, and there is nothing supernatural here.

Locals joke that the village will soon become an abnormal tourist center of the district.
