The Observer Yevgeny Sidorov:

In the evening around 23 hours.the car was returned home to Riga from Riga after a meeting with his fellow ufologists. The stars in the sky. It's dark,the headlights in front grabs the road surface. All the attention on the road. Suddenly I see in the Northern sky at an altitude of approximately 60 Gy.flashes bright white color.

Food and watch her for about 10-15 seconds.Point stands on the spot.Decide to stop at the roadside and take a picture (camera was with me ,as well as night-vision goggles, too).Fast the brakes.I run out to the curb.The object begins to fade,turning into a dim "star",which begins to retire a little to the left and up and off.

After some thought I think that it is a "stationary meteor". This is a fairly rare phenomenon, which consists in the fact that the flight of the meteor is directed exactly on the line of sight of the observer. In this case, the meteor breaks out in the form of bright points and a few seconds off...
