Rare space event could spark 'wave of panicky UFO alerts' warn astrologers

A rare space event could spark a wave of panicky UFO alerts on Monday.

Jupiter and Venus will hang low in the sky near each other on the north-eastern horizon at about 5am.

And they will be so bright they could look like a UFO.

The Society for Popular Astronomy said: “They will be so close together that it’s going to be quite a striking sight.

“Undoubtedly people could mistake them for a UFO, especially being so low down.

"They might appear to move around because of the distortion effect of the atmosphere.”
