So, this video could show a real UFO that hovered over Cuba recently, or it could be a hoax! We really don't know at this time, though I see no immediate evidence of CGI. It's not always easy for English-speaking ufologists in the United States to research sightings that happen in other countries, due to the language barrier. But hopefully we can find out more about this sighting soon.... so far, all I can gather is that the YouTube user who uploaded the video received the original footage from a friend's mother. As always, you be the judge on what you think this is...

2/11/19 Update: In a new video, recent meteor sightings and possible meteorite crashes in Cuba and Venezuela are featured. It is coming to my attention, however, that one of the initial videos reported of the Venezuela meteor was actually of a meteor over Mexico in December 2018. This does not discount any of the multiple local reports and videos to come out after that, but it adds a lot of confusion to an otherwise difficult-to-report-on story, Please let me know if you have any info.
2/10/19 Update: I'm still trying to find some local media reports and testimonies, but the videos posted to Twitter and YouTube are all I can find right now. However, it is not uncommon for news of meteors and other large weather events to be buried when they occur in countries outside the US. The meteor over Cuba from earlier this month, as well as the meteor in Cuba that caused windows to shatter about 6 years ago (the same day as the infamous Russia Valentines Day asteroid) also similarly received little to no mainstream media attention. If you are a local who saw (or didn't see!) this, report your experience so we can find out what happened! In the meantime, you can see at least one local tweet confirming the meteor sighting below:

Original story:
Just a little over a week after Cuba was hit with meteorites that broke off from a bolide meteor that exploded in the sky, and just several days short of the 6-year anniversary of the asteroid explosion over Russia (which injured hundreds, and damaged buildings), a large meteor has been seen exploding over Venezuela - and part of it has apparently landed in the country. One video shows a supposed fire caused by the meteorite crash. Watch the YouTube footage below and stay tuned for more ongoing updates: 
Cuba Update: Apparently, another potential meteor crash may have happened in Cuba today. Related? From the foreign language news site: "In a report released this morning by Rodas, town in the province of Cienfuegos, witnesses described a very bright light that has come to have large size, comparable to that of a bus, before exploding in the sky." 
Meanwhile in Russia...
"it was really unexpectedly. it shined like 10 suns. all my windows in my house was broken. people was in panic in first hours. it's not funny, really. But people is calm now." - Facebook comment on CNN article 
Russians living near the Ural Mountains were in for a terrifying surprise yesterday evening (Friday morning, locally) on Valentines Day, February 14th, when a meteor zoomed through the sky and exploded overhead, causing windows to break and hundreds to be injured (last count, 725). So far, 270 buildings are damaged. Fortunately the vast majority of injuries appear to be non life-threatening.
From CNN.com: Amateur video footage showed a bright white streak moving rapidly across the sky, before exploding with an even brighter flash and a deafening bang.
Watch video footage of the explosion:
The frightening event apparently happened in and around the Ural Mountains of Russia.

Considering a much-talked-about asteroid - Asteroid 2012 DA14 - is due to pass by Earth this afternoon, many are scratching their heads about the timing and are a bit spooked.
Of course talk of the end of the world and aliens is brewing on UFO sites and conspiracy forums. The coincidence is a bit unnerving, and as with any "meteor" event, it often gets slapped into the UFO pile. Many believe the Valentines Day meteor may have been something else entirely, from a top-secret military weapon experiment gone wrong or even a crashing space craft. Russia has become famous for its apocalypse-fearing residents and intense paranormal and UFO events. |
