Reports L. Smirnova, who lives on Bauman Street in Yekaterinburg.

"On April 2, 2001, around 5 o'clock, I observed an interesting phenomenon. Closing the window, I saw a bright orange spot over the house opposite. Strangely, the "fire" seemed to be out of place, that is, not at the level of the windows: a bright round ball, the color of the sun (but not blinding). There were no rays, no radiance either. The size is about the size of a solar disk.

Above this disk was another one, five times smaller, of the same color, but as if blurred, apparently - in the clouds. Both were descending very slowly, almost imperceptibly.

I watched it for 2-3 minutes, until the mysterious balls disappeared behind the house opposite.

It was in the western part of the sky, as if over the intersection of Victory Street and Cosmonauts Avenue.

Still curious, what was it?"

Halo

Halo usually appears around the Sun or moon, sometimes around other powerful light sources such as street lights. There are many types of halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in Cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere. The form of the observed halo depends on the shape and arrangement of crystals. Reflected and refracted by the ice crystals, the light often turns into a spectrum, which makes halo look like a rainbow, but a halo in low light has a low chroma, which is associated with the peculiarities of twilight vision.

The reflection on the glass

The object may be reflected light or any light source. The type of source (lamp, lantern, lampshade, glare from the mirrors of any shape and .t.n.) and the type of reflective glass in the photo can be crosses, circles, objects bizarre.
