KEY POINTS

  • The glass dome covering a piece of the Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia levitated mysteriously 
  • A UFO expert believes the glass dome was lifted by alien technology from the meteor
  • Museum officials are still unsure as to how the glass cover hovered over the meteor

Footage from a museum’s security camera showed the glass dome covering a meteor fragment mysteriously levitating. According to a UFO expert, the strange event may have been caused by alien technology embedded in the meteor.

Last week, visitors of a museum in Russia were surprised to see the glass cover of a meteor on display hovering by a few centimeters. The huge chunk of space rock that the glass dome was covering came from the meteor that exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013.

In a video captured by the museum’s security camera, the glass dome can be seen rising slowly. It became so apparent that it eventually caught the attention of the visitors and the staff members of the museum.

After viewing the clip, UFO expert Scott Waring of the blog ET Data Base claimed that it is common for meteors to carry pieces of alien technology that are too small to be detected easily.

“I believe that some of these meteorites may have been alien probes or artifacts floating through space,” Waring wrote on a blog post. “Such objects will contain super microtechnology. Tech that is a thousand times smaller than a grain of sand.”

Waring then noted that the electricity used to power the meteor fragment’s display stage may have activated the alien technology within the space rock. This may have caused tiny alien probes to emerge from the space rock and lift the glass case in an attempt to escape.

“I believe something, maybe the electricity in the box containing it, recharged or awoke the fragment of the probe,” he stated. “Then it released some of the tiny micro-robots by opening the glass to free them.”

As for the officials of the museum, they noted that it is not yet clear how the glass dome levitated over the meteor fragment. According to Vladimir Bogdanovsky, it is possible that a technical malfunction occurred and affected the device that lifts the glass dome, the Moscow Times reported.

Bogdanovsky noted that the museum is still investigating the matter to check what really happened to the meteor fragment’s display case.
