For couples from new York the evening of 3 April 1996 was very unusual - they were able to see a large comet Hale-BOPP, total Eclipse of the moon and flight of a UFO.

Heading home from Burlington to Port Henry, they were moving in a westerly direction to lake Champlain. It was a clear evening, and before the couple saw the most amazing view of the lake and Adirondack mountains.

"Suddenly, the sky appeared a white-yellow luminous sphere. She walked slowly across the sky ahead of us - wife long watched a bright object that moved in a straight path from South to North, parallel to the lake. - And then, just before we lost sight of her, she began to descend by a small downward arc".

Object, the size of the disk of the sun during midday, flying right over the ridge, leaving behind a thick trail of bright white and yellow sparks.

"The tail of the field was so long that at some point it stretched for about two-thirds of the sky. He struggled with the left half of the sphere and, towards the end, like a cone with a scoop of ice cream. Right front part of the sphere not emitted no sparks, no flame" - to the couple, they watched the object for about 30 seconds and then without making a sound, he disappeared into the distance.

On returning home, they recorded in detail everything that happens in a notebook and called the local radio station to report it. But the station was not interested in such information. Then they made a phone call to the police, which finally took their report and invited to the meeting. The duty officer contacted the airport, where they said that the radar did not observed and that this may have been a meteorite.

"But it was not a meteorite, say witnesses who are still looking for explanations for the strange incident. - He rushed down, he was moving horizontally too slow to be a meteorite".

Hypotheses

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

Meteor

Meteor, "shooting star" is a phenomenon that occurs when small meteor bodies (for example, fragments of comets or asteroids) burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. A similar phenomenon of greater intensity (brighter than magnitude -4) it's called a fireball.

Booster, the rocket and tracks

For UFOs often take stages of rockets, parts of space ships burning in the atmosphere, the launches of various missile technology for military purposes, etc., and traces from them. They attract attention mostly in the dark, but in the day time have a greater aura of mystery.

Formation of the track of the launch vehicle occurs in the tropopause (the layer between the troposphere and stratosphere), which sharply reduced the vertical temperature gradient. The emergence of the so-called "jellyfish" influenced by water vapor, which are subject to enhanced condensation.
