UFO, comet Holmes or Venus?

KOLKATA: The fireball that was seen in the city eastern sky could be comet Holmes or the planet Venus.

The small and bright object sighted on the eastern sky 30 degrees up from the horizon captured on a handycam by a senior executive of a private company early on Monday, was being analysed, Director of the M P Birla Planetarium D P Duari said.

Duari, however, said it could be comet Holmes in the constellation of Perseus or Venus "which occupies the same position as reported around the time the object was seen."

"One has to explore possibility of defocussing and digitalising processes of the handycam which could make Venus seem circular with vivid colours and changing shape to triangular and rod-like as seen in the video," the Planetarium director said.

He said UFO sightings were never reported for three hours as it was in the case of the object.

Duari said it had to be looked into and analysed before making 'any definitive comment'.
