UFO. Russia

Kalistratov Albert Georgievich writes to the Commission on the:

After reading the article "Exactly at 4.10" in the newspaper "Trud", I decided to write to you what I saw.

Unfortunately, I can't give you the exact date. The month was September 1984. The time is about 4 am. Going fishing, I saw a white spot in the eastern side, which was increasing in diameter, having a bluish-purple tint at the edges. It was still dark outside, so I stopped and carefully watched a completely unfamiliar phenomenon.

Suddenly, quite unexpectedly, a white dot appeared, I thought it was an airplane, but immediately rejected this idea. It glows very brightly, then suddenly stopped and a searchlight beam lit up completely perpendicular to the ground. Despite the fact that it was autumn and there was a slight fog over the Volga, this one looked very bright and sharp. its borders were visible. It lasted about 5 minutes, then the beam disappeared. Moreover, there was such an impression that it was as if it had been removed, if I may say so, disappeared as if shrinking. Along with it, the white dot disappeared. Stopping in the sky is a spot with a halo, which gradually began to fade, as if going somewhere in the distance.

Perhaps this is not what you are interested in, I apologize for the time taken. from memory, I drew what I saw as best I could, but I can't determine the distance, but the height is approximately how planes such as the U-2 fly. Perhaps my drawing will be at least somewhat similar to the drawing of G. Lazurin, I will be very glad.
