A video of an unusual celestial phenomenon
was published by one of the city's public groups, sparking a wave of discussion on social media.
The footage shows a nighttime panorama of Astana, with bright lights in the sky. One witness reported spotting the object at 8:43 PM, while another reported spotting it six minutes earlier. They said the object was so large that it was simultaneously seen from different points in the city—near the drama theater and in the Arman Kala residential complex area on the left bank, which are approximately six kilometers apart.
"I only managed to capture 10 glowing dots, while another person captured the entire shuttle. If I had looked up earlier, I might have seen the entire ship," shared the author of one of the videos.
Social media users are actively discussing the origin of the mysterious object.
"Drones are spying on summer residents grilling shashlik," "Sergek is all over town," "It's a spaceship," "Astana is preparing for a drone parade," the comments read.
So far, there have been no official comments from authorities or astronomical services.
Residents of Astana previously
witnessed a rare natural phenomenon: several "suns" appeared simultaneously in the sky. This unusual effect, known as a parhelion, attracted attention on social media.
