Muravyev Vilen Karpovich writes to the Commission on the:

When flying by plane from Kamchatka to Moscow, flying the section between the Gulf of Ob and St. Andrew, we saw a glowing object in the night sky on the right traverse at an altitude of about 20-30 degrees.

It was impossible to determine the size of the object, as well as the distance to it, in an undirected sky.

The object was observed in a static state for about 30 seconds, then sparks (of low density) fell out of it, and it, describing narrowing concentric circles (about 3 revolutions per second), rapidly rose up and after 3-5 seconds. disappeared at a point with an altitude of about 75-80 degrees.

2 sketches were made in the logbook

There were about 20 eyewitnesses on board. Among them is M.L. Popovich

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.
