Huge sections of Siberia (the size of Italy) went dark for hours at high noon earlier today, and no one in Russia can explain why. The Siberian Times noted:
“No official explanations for darkness over swathes of Yakutia amid conspiracy theories of a UFO, new weapons tests, a meteorite, or pollution from wildfires.
Day suddenly turned to night around noon on Friday, and for almost three hours locals needed torches to see where they were going….
“No eclipse can last this long.’
Konstantin Starostin, head of the settlement, said: ‘When the Sun vanished, people started calling us in the administration.
‘Many got scared, specially elderly people.
‘People who live here for many years said they had never witnessed anything like this.’
‘The darkness was pitch black.
‘It didn’t come at once, but grew gradually.
‘The Sun was gone from 11.30 until 14.00 on Friday 20 July.’
