Lyudmila Vladimirovna Mareltueva writes to the Commission on AI:

After reading the article "Exactly at 4.10" published in the newspaper "Trud" for January 30, 1985, I decided to write.

...

And I will describe one more case. Maybe it's not necessary, but I'll write it anyway.

It was in spring or autumn, well, in general, when the vegetable gardens were plowed. My grandmother and I were waiting for our turn in the evening and suddenly it became very light, the whole village was illuminated so brightly that I involuntarily hid my face in the folds of my grandmother's skirt. When I raised my face, it was still dark. This light was growing from somewhere above. After becoming an adult, I often asked my grandmother what it was then, she answered "God knows."

Well, that's it. I really want to know what it was after all.
