UFO. Russia

1st year student Obodyanik Yan writes to the Commission on the USSR:

I read a note in the "Work" "Exactly at 4.10 . . . " , your request to write about all such observations.

What I saw was happening on March 16, 1984 at about 10 p.m. It was just Mom's birthday and we went to see off the guests in the evening.

I really like to look at the starry sky and this time I also looked up... and I saw something strange: a luminous parallelogram "hung" against the background of the stars, or rather only the corners and the intersection of the diagonals shone.

In my opinion, there was something else shining there, but I have already forgotten, but I remember these "lanterns" for sure. They shone less brightly than the side lights of the aircraft, but quite clearly. I don't know how long this thing was hanging before I paid attention to it, but after I "saw" it, it hung for about two more minutes, and then the lights slowly began to go out and after about half a minute disappeared into the sky.

That's, like, all.

Maybe it was some kind of atmospheric effect or something else quite logically explicable, but it seemed very strange to me. I can't say anything for sure about the size of this thing and the height at which it hung. It seemed to me that it was at a very decent height (somewhere more than 100km), but very decent in size, so it was so clearly visible.
