UFO. Russia

Natalia Sergeevna Smirnova's husband wrote a letter to the Commission about her observation of an unusual phenomenon:

Last summer, my wife told me about how she saw an unusual phenomenon in my absence. At first, she informed me about it during a telephone conversation, and when I returned home, I questioned her in detail and wrote down the results in a notebook. Having modeled the image on the glass, I made a draft of the letter in the same month, but, as you can see, I was just going to write to you now. So I am writing on behalf of my wife. Apparently, she can write about it herself, if she is set up for a letter.

On July 10, at the end of the day, I sat on the balcony of the 3rd floor on the south side of the only 9-storey building in Priozersk and watched the seagulls catch bugs. Something in the clear cloudless sky started in my field of vision. Looking carefully, I saw two silver-orange rectangles, somewhat narrowed in the middle, as shown in the figure, moving without sound and light effects in the direction from northeast to southwest.

The objects were exactly the same and moved at the same speed, without changing their positions relative to their axes.

The size a (the length of one object) was more than half the apparent diameter of the daytime Sun. The remaining visible dimensions and proportions between them can be obtained if the figures are depicted on the glass according to the drawing and take an observation point at a distance of 2.26 m. The projections of the image will give an idea of the observation I made on July 19, 1984.

The objects moved evenly and disappeared in the distance (blurred by a layer of air due to a large distance).

At the time of detection of objects, the azimuth on them was about 120 degrees + \ - 5 degrees. At azimuth on objects (150 ...160 degrees), the direction of their movement turned out to be the direction of their movement turned out to be perpendicular to the beam of vision.

The azimuth at which they became noticeably further away from me and the clarity of their distinction decreased was about 216 + \- 5 degrees.

The maximum elevation angle is about 40 +\- degrees.

It took from 1.5 to 2 minutes for the objects to pass the azimuth angle from 120 to 216 degrees (delta 96 degrees).

At the moment when the objects disappeared from sight, the Leningrad radio broadcast network announced: 23 hours 47 minutes.

The contours of the objects were clear, not blurred, there was no trace in the form of a plume.

When I saw it, there were no passers-by nearby, there was no one to share what I saw.

Despite the fact that the UFO phenomenon, according to unofficial materials, has been well known to me since 1978, I did not attribute the observed phenomenon to a UFO when I saw it.

I was overcome by a feeling of fear and anxiety (although I am not one of the balanced people with strong nerves): Surely it's not American nuclear missiles flying to Leningrad?

What I saw excited me. I didn't sleep until three in the morning: my imagination repeatedly painted me a picture of rectangles flying in formation.
