Initial data
A. KALININ, Kirovo-Chepetsk:
Strange, unusual phenomenon was observed I February 19, Friday, 18 hours and 10 minutes in Kirovo-Chepetsk. In the sky from West to East sailed two bright light spots, almost with the moon each. They moved slowly, silently, shrouded in white clouds, and they stretched the white plumes. The phenomenon could be observed for 5-7 minutes. Please explain what it was. I heard about some "flying saucers", which supposedly flying aliens from other worlds. Whether I've seen related to the "plates"?
Meets A. OGNEV, Chairman of astrocycle of the Yaroslavl regional branch of the VAGO.
At all times mysterious and strange phenomena in nature excites the imagination of people. Comets, fireballs. volcanoes, ball lightning, tornadoes, and fires of St. Elmo, were all mysterious, unclear, menacing, supernatural.
The output of man in space greatly undermined the remnants of belief in the supernatural. And here, instead of the devils, mermaids, nymphs and satyrs talking about... aliens from other worlds who are watching us with "flying saucers".
Plate the epidemic began in the USA in June 1947. The mysterious formation was seen here and there. And to calm the raging imagination of the bored inhabitants and find out what in the end lies behind all of the stories about flying saucers, the investigation of the mysterious incident took on the job of the air force Department of the USA, a large American astrophysicist Donald Menzel. The result was the book "the flying saucer", translated into Russian language in 1962.
The opinion of Menzel was categorical: in 80 percent of cases in a flying saucer (or, as they are called, unidentified flying objects - UFOs) took a high flying aircraft, weather balloons, gone with the wind kites, baby balls, etc. In the remaining 20 percent the appearance of the plates was connected with the optical phenomena in the atmosphere: rainbows, halos, mirages.
In 1979 in the scientific press there was an article of corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences A. S. Monin n physicist G. I. Barenblatt devoted to the discussion of the possible formation in the atmosphere of luminous objects UFOs. The authors showed that under certain conditions in the atmosphere can form stable disc-shaped region within which there is intense vortex motion. Such areas have the ability to accumulate inside the atmospheric dust. When the lighting of the area low placed light source rising or setting sun - it is perceived as self-luminous object.

Hypotheses
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.
Смерч (вихрь, торнадо)
Atmospheric vortex that occurs in cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) cloud and propagating down, often to the surface of the earth, in the form of a cloud sleeves or trunk diameter of tens to hundreds of meters. Tornadoes can appear in many shapes and sizes.
Investigation
On this (obviously not complete) opisaniyu eyewitness, most likely it was a missile launch.
