I have difficulty believing that this is authentic. First off, the defunct control tower at the beginning is unconvincing, nothing is turned on. Although I am not familiar with Russian ATC, Yakutsk Airport control tower is located at 62 05’10.52”N 129 45”01.97”E
And there is no runway access or taxi way directly in front of the tower, the tower lays at an angle to the tarmac, taxi way and runways. Secondly, the “radar” displays two commercial aircraft. Designated AFL825 and AFL943, which belong to Fonnafly out of Norway. They fly float planes for tourists from April to December in Norway. Why they would be flying over 1200 miles off course, and inside Russian airspace is a mystery to me.
Thirdly, the target flies directly along a radial .05 degrees, just north of Khandyga (XaHAblrA). Khandyga (XaHAblrA) is approximately 200 miles ENE of Yakutsk (RKYTCK). It then turns north towards Batagay (GATArAN), which is about 350 miles north. At this point, it cross paths with AFL825 at radial 040, and turns south at 030 radial, back towards Yakutsk Airport.
I’m thrown off with why Fonnafly (AFL) would be flying in Russian airspace, and the beginning video, of the closed down control tower.

Re: Russian UFO Radar Video - 30-May-2010 By: Private-Parts, (REPLY)
Would be cool to help you, but there isn't much more info I can provide. The clip surfaced yesterday on three video sites in russia, but they all pretty much had the same info. I tried my best to find out more, but nothing else came up. I don't speak rooshian, so I use Google Toolbar translate function to get some idea on what is being said
Here is the URL to the website where I found the clip
tomsk.fm...
The second site where I found it trying to get more info was
flash.sakha.net...
but strangely, as I'm writing this, I checked the URL and the clip has been removed from there?!?
I cannot find the third site with Google search anymore, there is one other address; forum.ya1.ru...
that apparently has published the item 13 hours ago, but as my Norton Antivir lists it as dangerous, I'm not gonna click the link.
The original title of the clip - Google translated - was "UFO on the radar screen in the Republic of Yakutia". Here's the Google search for you with original russian language title:
www.google.com... %D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BF%D1%83%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B5+%D0%AF%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%8F&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-ContextMenu&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&s ourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7SNYK_en-GB
Hope this helps, good luck!
