The message of Lebedeva Valentina Alexandrovna (secretary-typist, 45 years old) and Lebedev Nikolay Nikolaevich (mechanical engineer, 66 years old).

On the night of May 14-15, 1981, at about 1 hour 03 minutes, the movement of 3 stars the size of a tennis ball was observed from the kitchen window of the fifth floor. We flew from north to south, slowly, slower than an airplane.

They were arranged in a row, according to a ruler.

The right star was moving slower. The stars were followed by plumes, like tails, and smoke (directed

up.

With the words: "Look, something interesting is flying", the moon woke up. He stood up. By this time two

the stars flew over the roof of a 9-storey building opposite.

My husband saw the last "star". Describes e as a solid cone of white color. Divergent rays come from the base of the cone, followed by a long plume. There is a gap between the rays and the beginning of the plume.

By this time, there were only plumes from the other 2 stars. A cone the size of 3 \ 4 "lunar" disk. He called it a "funnel", but it is difficult to answer whether it is a hollow or a solid funnel. Then he called the contrail from the plane, the color is white, diverging. Claims the presence of loops ("the tracks are mixed up").

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.
