(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – A mysterious Russian satellite displaying “Very abnormal behaviour” has raised alarm in the United Sates (US), according to a State Department Official.
“We don’t know for certain what it is and there is no way to verify it,” said Assistant Secretary Yleem Poblete at a conference in Switzerland on 14 August.
She voiced fears that it was impossible to say if the object may be a weapon.
Russia has dismissed the comments as “Unfounded, slanderous accusations based on suspicions”.
The satellite in question was launched in October last year.
