UFO closes Russian airport

MOSCOW, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- An unidentified flying object hovering above the
runway of an airport in Barnaul, in eastern Siberia, forced the airport's
closure for almost two hours, Russian news agencies reported Monday.

During the incident, which occurred on Friday night, the crew of an
Ilyushin 76 cargo jet refused to take off after spotting the glowing object
hovering above the end of the runway.

Another freighter preparing to land at Barnaul airport also spotted the
object and the pilot diverted his jet to an alternative airfield.

The object flew off and vanished some 90 minutes after it was first
spotted, the reports say.
