According to Goryszewski, the appearance of the object in Polish airspace may be associated with the intense bombing of Ukraine, which took place at that time.

"The work continues, but we can not disclose any details,” he said, adding that he could not say whether the object left Polish airspace or not.

"We are studying all possible scenarios for this incident, including lost signals. We must be prepared for all scenarios,” a spokesman for the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces said.

Ukraine wants more air defence systems to stop UFOs

The incident with the unidentified flying object (UFO) that violated Polish airspace is a signal to the West about the need to strengthen Ukraine's air defence, Yuri Ignat, a spokesman for Ukraine's Air Force said, RBC-Ukraine reports.

In order to prevent such incidents in the future, the West should saturate Ukraine with air defense systems, Ignat believes.

“This is another signal to our partners to strengthen Ukraine by supplying a required  amount of air defence systems so that we become a shield between the aggressor and Europe. We protected ourselves and protected them," Ignat said.
