At night, in May 1964, the position of the anti-aircraft missile division in the area of Ulan-Ude witnessed a mysterious and amazing phenomenon. On the evening of May 17, the servicemen noticed a glow over Lake Baikal, which gradually expanded. But it was not an ordinary sunset - the sun had long disappeared behind the horizon. What was it?

At about 21.25, communication with the command post was lost due to strong interference. Suddenly, a fiery orange ball appeared above the horizon. It pulsed and emitted a bright glow, as if it were a living being. Its size was comparable to the midday Sun, but not so bright that it was possible to observe it without dark glasses.

A combat alert was declared. Radio communication was disrupted, and interference covered all radio frequencies. The commander of the unit ordered to measure the radiation level every 30 minutes. The radiation level turned out to be zero, but still the soldiers put on gas masks and other protective equipment. The fireball was slowly approaching, stopping at the height of a telegraph pole. As it approached, the brightness of its glow decreased.

When the first "tongues" of light enveloped the position, the soldiers were ordered to stop watching and take shelter inside. By midnight, the position was completely immersed in a luminous fog. It was difficult to see what was going on in the portholes. The mood of the soldiers was getting worse, they were afraid of the consequences of the confined space.

By two o'clock in the morning, tensions were rising. The soldiers began to have headaches, joint and abdominal pains. They wanted to stretch, stretch, but the cramped space did not allow them to do this. By three o'clock, the state of discomfort was increasing, but communication between the cabins helped to defuse the situation.

At 3.30 everyone felt relieved - the crisis was over. The fireball slowly continued its movement to the east, crossing the entire position.

This mysterious phenomenon over Lake Baikal has caused many questions and interest among scientists and specialists. Some suggest that this was due to an unknown natural phenomenon or even the appearance of an alien object. However, there is still no definite answer to the question of the origin of this fireball.
