Villagers in south-west Ukraine are claiming to have proof of alien visitors to earth, after spotting strange lights in the sky.

Footage was posted online by a local man named Ivan Rusev, who claimed that the objects appeared ‘out of the blue’ at a ‘significant height’ and stayed visible for around 12-15 minutes.
The video was shared on social media in the Ukraine, with some questioning what the mysterious lights were and if they signalled an alien invasion.

An army spokesman assured residents there was no reason for any concern.
