Alexander N. Tyunin writes to the AIA commission.:

On December 28, 1984, at about 17-10, I went out to admire the Christmas star, or rather Venus. It was completely dark, but not a single star was visible in the sky, apparently because of the frosty haze.

However. The bright star Venus shone in the southwest.

After admiring this beauty, I turned towards the southeast and saw an unusually large bright star that was at the same height from the horizon as Venus.

The star was so big that I thought it wasn't a lighting rocket.

But the star stood absolutely motionless, shrouded in a light haze, and around it was a luminous halo, absolutely regular circle shape, slightly colored in different colors.

I made sure that the star I saw was standing still and went home so that my son would also look at this unusual star.

But the star began to lose brightness, and the halo circles began to diverge wider and wider, but their color began to weaken and soon the star disappeared, and in its place at first there was a light cloud, which gradually began to dissipate, and then the halo circles disappeared.

I wanted to immediately write about this phenomenon to the commission on anomalous phenomena, but I lost the newspaper that contained the address of the commission.

Don't take it for some mistake of mine, I assure you that what I saw was really so.

I am a pensioner, I am 80 years old, and all these years I have seen artificial satellites many times (in the first 2 years after launch). Three times in different years in our area I observed the northern lights, witnessed total solar and lunar eclipses, so you can judge that I was really amazed by what I saw and I'm not sure it was a celestial star.

I remember that there is a phenomenon called a halo, wasn't it the same? If not, then it is unclear why such a bright light suddenly disappeared.

Maybe you will think that it was a lighting rocket, I will tell you straight out, during the war I saw lighting rockets in Stalingrad many times, and I will say that I cannot confuse what I saw with a lighting rocket in any way.

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.
