Skygazers claim a UFO saved their lives from an earth-bound meteor that streaked over the city of Chelyabinsk in central Russia two weeks ago.

The giant piece of space rock exploded a few dozen kilometres above Earth but the shockwave from the explosion injured almost 1,200 people and caused approximately $33 million worth of damage, local authorities have said.

The event was filmed by a number of spectators with many people identifying a UFO that they say hit into the meteorite, causing it to explode.

Referring to video footage of the event, Alexander Komanov, coordinator for the Russian UFO community in Yekaterinburg, told the Siberian Times, 'You can see how an (unidentified flying) object catches the meteorite... the (UFO) flies into it - and the meteorite explodes and falls.'

I'll be looking forward to seeing the videos and in fact, they might already be posted at youtube. I haven't checked.

p.s. FWIW, there are similar theories about Tanguska but all I can recall from this is that some peculiar matter that was found throughout the crash site.
