Initial data
Stolsky A.I. writes to the Academy of Sciences, the Commission on:
I decided to write to you about an interesting phenomenon seen by me, my parents and colleagues on February 10 and 13, 1985 in Moscow and in Narva.
...
On February 13, after finishing work at about 21-00, I got ready to go home. Then my colleague asked me what kind of star I think it is, and pointed to it. It was like two drops of water similar to the one I saw in Moscow on 10.02, but unlike it hung in the back of the sky with an elevation of about 40 degrees too.
When I got to the house, I decided to check if she was moving or not.
The time was about 21-40. I "planted" a mysterious star on the corner of the ridge of the roof of one of the neighboring houses and began to observe. The star disappeared behind the roof after 5-6 seconds. I repeated the experiment 4 more times, moving further and further away. There was no doubt. the star was slowly descending to the west. But its speed was too great for the celestial sphere - about 3 degrees in 5 seconds. Besides, when I saw her in Moscow, it was still so bright that there were no stars in sight. And she shone brightly and was very large.
I've seen satellites flying. Their speed across the sky is much higher than the speed of this star. And it's moving too fast for ordinary stars.
Hypotheses
The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
