Alexey doroshevich from the town of Gorky, Mogilev region, student BSHA, says that in the village of Rinatovna, near Kopyl, he saw a UFO cigar-shaped.

It was in mid-August 2001. Approximately at 23.00 in the sky appeared a bright "star" similar to a satellite. However, after going through the sky a distance of 10-15 minutes of arc, she suddenly broke out a very bright – about the brightness of the moon in the first quarter. And almost immediately, after about 1-2 seconds, went out and never came back.

However, this time was enough witnesses to see the object. He had a cigar-shaped with an aspect ratio of 1:2 and the apparent size of approximately 30 to 15 minutes. The object was yellow in color, moving at the speed of about 1 degree per second. It seemed to eyewitnesses, the object was something like a dark rectangular window (or was it the other functional part). The altitude of the object estimated by the witnesses within 5 km.

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.
