Police investigating say they have yet to find the mystery object. Several witnesses called the police on Sunday evening after claiming to have seen a mysterious flying object that suddenly crashed. The unidentified flying object reportedly fell from the sky between Schöneck and Plauen, two towns located in Saxony, Germany. Witnesses say there was a bang before the object started to smoke, reports Bild. Christina Friedrich, police spokeswoman in Zwickau, told the outlet: "We received the initial report at 4:30 p.m. A witness from Gunzen had seen a flying object crash at 4:18 p.m. There was also smoke and noise."

Several fire departments, the mountain rescue service and a dog unit were also involved in the search. Witness Ronny Reißmann said: "We were out for a walk and watched the crash in the sky. It’s absolutely baffling what that was. I just quickly took this photo. Unfortunately, I was quite far away." Police spokeswoman Friedrich said: "The flying object likely crashed in a wooded area." It's not known if the search will continue on Monday but inquiries with Leipzig Airport, the German Weather Service (DWD), and the German Armed Forces have yielded no results, reports the Freie Presse. Jens Leistner, managing director of the Southwest Saxony rescue service association, said: "The initial report stated that a hot air balloon, possibly with four occupants, had crashed.

There is a video of the phenomenon. However, we don't know exactly what it is." Ingo Penzel, 58, the mayor of the 130-inhabitant village of Gunzen, added: "I don't believe that what came down was actually a UFO . I suspect it was more likely a drone that exploded. But we won't know for sure until something is found." 3I/ATLAS, AKA the “spaceship” that has gripped scientists worldwide, is set to make its closest approach to Earth next month. This much anticipated arrival will finally enable experts to unveil what the mysterious interstellar object is, according to a Harvard professor. According to Harvard professor Avi Loeb , scientists are still gathering clues about 3I/ATLAS. But with the mysterious object swinging past Earth in December, we will finally find out what this strange comet really is, the professor said, as he has continuously suggested 3I/ATLAS is an alien spacecraft. Taking to his Medium Blog on Sunday (November 11), Professor Loeb shared the exact date 3I/ATLAS would hit our planet . Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.
