UFO sightings: Mysterious red light near International Space Station sparks rumours of extra terrestrial activities

A suspicious red light flashing near the International Space Station has again sparked UFO sighting rumours. The YouTube video was recorded from the live feeds from the ISS which shows a mysterious red dot flashing in outer space. It appears like a laser beam shot towards earth, Open Minds UFO Investigation reported. Some people suspect the light to be that of an extraterrestrial spacecraft attempting to communicate with Earth. While some other people suspect it to be a laser fired into the sky by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in order to create an artificial star. According to OPALS mission manager Matthew Abrahamson, the light was generated from a new laser communications system. "Four lasers from the ground station travel through the sky toward the space station. Under clear, dark background conditions, it's very easy for the payload to acquire the ground beacon. Daylight conditions have proven more challenging, but we are working on increasing capabilities during the day as well, through software enhancements," Abrahamson told Discovery News about the appearance of the mysterious red spot near the ISS.READ MORE AND SEE PHOTOS LINK-http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ufo-sightings-mysterious-red-light-near-international-space-station-sparks-rumours-extra-1479351
