TESTIMONIES from Alexey Glebovich Smirnov, a student of the Institute named after him. Lesgaft, year of birth - 1960

On the night of May 14-15, at 02 o'clock, I was on Komsomolskaya Square (corner of Zenitchikov and Krasnoputilovskaya streets). On the eastern part of the sky (in the side where the PBX and pipes are located) I saw a yellow "star" the size of a walnut flying straight up and soundlessly. She was flying at an angle of 70° to the horizon. I watched her rise for about 5 minutes. Behind the "star" there was a steady white smoke.

Suddenly, the "star" stopped and somehow fell apart into 4-6 lobules. Then the slices began to converge with the jets of light and gradually began to disperse.

Then the "star" began to approach and rapidly increase in size. Seeing this, the drunken company fled in fear.

The "star" made a semicircle in the sky and began to move away again. From it, above the houses, very low, at a height of 100 meters, a blue haze appeared: flowing air became visible. I was scared: the smoke and the "star" above the houses were unusual and I thought it was a gas attack.

When the "star" moved away, the sky turned yellow, as during sunset. I didn't look at the sky for 50 minutes, as I was catching a taxi and driving to- moi. When I was on Repin Square, I looked at the sky and saw the same yellow sunset.

I heard about UFOs before this observation and even saw it.

A few years ago I saw an object hovering over the sea. It was shaped like an electric light bulb. The color of the object is like the glow color of a daylight lamp.

The observation lasted only a few seconds: the object quickly disappeared over the horizon.
