Georgy Kovenchuk, a member of the Union of artists and the Union of journalists of the USSR. 194219 Leningrad, Smirnov St., 27/1:

17 July 1977, I returned from Hosts in Leningrad on the TU-154, flight 8886. My seat was on the left side, so I think the window I saw the Western part of the sky. Around 9 PM I noticed an unusually bright star above the veil of dark purple clouds, creeping under our plane.

The sun was already down here somewhere under these clouds and the star shone in the background is still quite bright sky. Other stars in the sky was not, I was struck by the brightness and the large size of this star. The fact that it was a star, I had no doubt, because the point is not moved, and hung in the same place.

When I looked closer, I saw that this "star" has an unusual form, a short stick, or rather butt, and the position of the butt vertically towards the ground. At first I thought that it distorts the glass, but when I looked from another window, that I was convinced of the truth of this form.

I'm not stopping've been following this subject, and after 15 minutes were convinced that it was not a star because our plane left her somewhat behind. I really wanted to share this observation, but the plane was half empty and those who sat nearby, had to have that conversation.

All the same after a few rows I found a group of people who decided to share what he saw, it turned out that they also noticed and one of them said half-jokingly: "We decided that this plate and are afraid to get into the zone of its influence."

I went back to my place and continued to follow up on this column. Suddenly the column began to fade, and for a moment melted. I looked at my watch — it was exactly 21 hours and 30 minutes.
