Yakovlev S writes to the Commission on the:

My grandmother (she lives in the city of Petrokrepost) she told me a story that happened in the fall of 1984. Grandma can't write you, and that's why I'm writing.

It happened around 11-30 am. a small spot suddenly appeared on the apple tree standing under the window. Grandma didn't think much of it at first. She thought it was a sunbeam. Then this speck grew to the size of an apple. It was impossible to tell whether it was a flat circle or a three-dimensional ball.

At the beginning, it seemed to my grandmother that this "apple" was divided into several lobules. Then a very bright dot appeared in the middle of this "apple", and hundreds of rays dispersed from it around the globe. A little later, the center of the "apple" lit up with a faint pink light. This light ran along the rays coming out of the center of the "apple". The closer the light came to the edge of the "apple", the darker it became. The faint pink light first turned into red, and then into burgundy. Quite near the edge, it was already quite maroon, close to black. So it was with various other colors. This phenomenon lasted about 20 minutes. The last color was purple. Then the "apple" went out. only the center of the ball remained glowing. then it slowly went out. Now the apple looked like a cannonball from the time of Peter I. Then the "apple" flashed dazzlingly, broke away from the branch and stopped 2-3 meters above the apple tree. Then suddenly it quickly disappeared from sight. only a small fiery "tail" said that the "apple" disappeared in the sky. After all this, Grandma looked at the apple tree. It was the same, only a few leaves were missing on the branch where the "apple" had landed. grandma said that the apple clearly resembled an eye.

Booster, the rocket and tracks

For UFOs often take stages of rockets, parts of space ships burning in the atmosphere, the launches of various missile technology for military purposes, etc., and traces from them. They attract attention mostly in the dark, but in the day time have a greater aura of mystery.

Formation of the track of the launch vehicle occurs in the tropopause (the layer between the troposphere and stratosphere), which sharply reduced the vertical temperature gradient. The emergence of the so-called "jellyfish" influenced by water vapor, which are subject to enhanced condensation.
