Librarian Ogarkova Margarita Mikhailovna (52 years old) writes to the Commission on AYA:

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you the time when I observed this phenomenon. Sometime in October 1984. I was walking home from work at seven o'clock in the evening. The evening was a bit chilly, the sky without a single cloud and some unusual festive greenish color.

people were walking towards me and also looking at the sky, but for some reason tensely throwing their heads back, and some slowed down their pace. Two young men quickly passed by me, and one of them, laughing, said to the other: "At last the aliens have come to us!"

Then I turned back and for several minutes observed the following: some kind of irregularly shaped flying machine resembling a disk was moving across the sky. I didn't catch the moment when he turned into a spotlight. The searchlight was directed towards the sea. The object stopped moving, only changed the direction and width of the beam several times.

A woman crossing the road exclaimed in surprise, "Here's another searchlight launched into the sky!"

The next transformation of the "spotlight" was even more amazing. It was as if he began to open some doors and a lot of small spotlights appeared, and the object itself stretched out.

the transformations did not end there. the glowing "searchlights" were rapidly moving, and a contour resembling a rocket, as it is depicted in the diagrams, began to emerge from the glowing lines.

The "flying machine" did not make any sounds, all its transformations took place in complete silence. only at the moment when the eyes began to distinguish the outlines of the rocket in the color scheme of the light lines, there was a sound (like a click, more precisely resembling a slightly enlarged sound that occurs when opening a bottle of champagne).

Only two of the people who stopped next to me managed to see these outlines of the rocket, they appeared for a moment, then the glow disappeared, the object was instantly enveloped (it was enveloped) in a luminous cloud. The cloud hid the "rocket", but did not take its shape. very quickly, the glow began to fade, an uneven green-bluish stripe appeared in place of the cloud. and while I was walking home (15 minutes), this glow continued.

In the yard, the boys were chasing a ball. I asked them if they had seen anything in the sky. "Ah!" said one of them. - It's the northern lights!" They managed to see only the glow that remained from the cloud, and took it for the northern lights, although, in my opinion, this glow has no resemblance to the northern lights at all.

The impression of what he saw was very strong. Of course, I was not thinking about the "aliens", but about the novelty of our Soviet technology. Not only me, but all the people who looked at the sky with me, had the idea that this was some kind of flying machine.

At first, of course, I talked about what I saw to my friends. Some said that it was some unexplored atmospheric phenomena, others suggested that it was a type of mirage (a rocket took off somewhere, and we saw it).

When I read the note, I thought I saw something similar to a UFO.

One of the teachers of our school confirmed that in October she also saw a similar phenomenon. Her story almost coincided with mine. All she didn't see was the outline of the rocket. We were in different parts of the city.

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.
