Light pollution in large cities makes it difficult astronomical observations. Due to the lightness of the sky is visible only the brightest stars, and if the dark sky people, the naked eye can see 2-3 thousand stars, in the city or other place with bright artificial light, often are not counted more than fifty of them.

In connection with this fact interesting observations of the phenomena of the night sky to us mainly from small settlements (including the Voronezh region).

One of the most interesting and unusual observations can be called a triangle UFO.

For example, take one of the testimonies we received in the fall of 2001. The case occurred in late August of 2001:

"We sat on a bench near the house, suddenly saw a fairly bright three dots. Not as bright as we see Venus constantly several tasnee, but still clearly visible. Although it seems to us that in the beginning of the observation they were brighter. They moved uniformly, while at the same distance from each other, and between them was clearly visible stars. At some point it seemed to us that the points began to turn and it does lose brightness. After a few seconds, the object disappeared."

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Satellite

Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

An eyewitness account like the object embodied in the fact Fact #1482687694.

The described behavior is very similar to the satellite of the communications system Iridium.

More precisely, a well-known phenomenon caused by the reflection of sunlight smooth surfaces of the antennas of satellites of the Iridium communications system, usually called an Iridium Flare.

Most commonly observed single flash, but sometimes circumstances are such that can be seen multiple outbreaks.

Thus, we can assume that the witnesses described in their testimony of this phenomenon.

However, it is more likely another version of the explanation - the glare from the satellite systems of naval intelligence U.S. NOSS (Naval Ocean Surveillance system). They move in groups (often of three submutica) at a distance of from 30 to 240 km one from another. Outbreaks also occur when the reflection of sunlight.
