FACTCHECK: Polish Air Force Shoots down an UFO

ANALYSIS: Misleading

FACT: A video is being circulated on social media in which a rocket-like thing can be seen in the sky with smoke. Users claiming that is #UFO ,video is from Poland and Polish Air Force shot down the “UFO”. Upon research we found same videoon a Korean news YouTube channel named “YonhapNews” according to the news this video is from South Korea where South Korean Defense agencies successfully conducted a test flight of a solid-fuel space launch vehicle in December 2022. And If you watch the video carefully,you will find a banner on which something can be seen written in Korean language. Hence although the video is real, nothing to do with Poland or UFO.

INTENT:Users sharing video with false claim to mislead people on social media to get some spotlight.
