A report by L.I. Blukova on the observation of an unusual phenomenon in the city of Kohtla-Yarva of the SSR.

On September 12, 1985 at 22-05, to the right of the Capella star (in the northeastern part of the firmament) at an angle of about 35-40 degrees to the horizon, I saw a glowing UFO, similar to a shuttlecock, rather cone-shaped, where there was a round object on top of the cone. Under the cone, an oval blue spot glowed at a short distance. The system was perceived as a flat formation located at a great distance from the observer. The apparent dimensions (of an object with a cone of light) were about two times the diameter of the moon at the zenith.

The shuttlecock glowed white, the area was not illuminated by it because of the great distance. The contours of the figure were clear.

Very soon, the "shuttlecock" began to fade and fade, starting from the lower right corner, as if going behind a cloud. The contours became smeared, but the shape did not change. Soon the glow completely disappeared, and the spot remained visible for a long time, slowly moving to the west. At the same time, the size of the spot increased, the contours became blurred, the brightness of the glow decreased. I observed the spot until 22-50. The observation was carried out from the room through the window

The weather was clear. The planes were not flying at the moment.

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.
