Flying creatures. Russia

Maria Dmitrievna Popovich writes to the Commission on:

I read about flying saucers in the Trud newspaper and decided to write what I saw personally in 1967 at 4 p.m. I worked as a courier and when I was delivering documents and returning to the office, the weather was good, I just crossed the bridge and saw some kind of red reflection in front of me. I turned back and saw a very large, beautiful star, it was round, blue in color and there was a clear, beautiful shell around, and then there was also an orange reflection around. And she was flying slowly. I stopped and watched, even admired its beauty. Then she immediately turned to the left in front of me and began to gain altitude and quickly went up and from the second side was no longer blue, but white, with a white oval and a star shining in the middle, and on both sides there were some kind of wings, three meters long, very white and beautiful, but such as frost on twigs.

Response to the request:

Dear Gennady Vasilyevich, I went to the office at the technical base at about 4 pm, but it was still visible. It was like that. When I passed the bridge over the Ukhta River, I saw some kind of orange reflection on the asphalt in front of me and thought, what is it that illuminates? I turned to look, and when I saw - at such a height as a 9-storey building, such a very beautiful phenomenon. A large circle of blue color, in the middle was a shiny flashlight. And there was an orange color around the blue ball, I was even surprised where such a beauty came from, she was 3 meters wide and flew without noise, and then immediately turned left, without turning, she did not make a U-turn.

And on the other hand, she showed something completely different. She had something made of white iron visible in the middle, the ball was not round, but a cone, and at the end a small green glowing ball was visible. There must have been a light burning there. But this ball was not all visible, it was covered in some kind of feathers, but they were not feathers, but some kind of metal made like feathers. And then there were very long, white wings, like a swan's, very beautiful, but this circle on the other side had visible, like a comb, such paldochki, like a crystal, and on the wings there were such beads as frost on the ve-points. But when she turned and went up very quickly, and when she flew smoothly, she flew very slowly.

But, dear Gennady Vasilyevich, I can't draw you from the other side, it's very difficult, you have to be a good artist. If you were next to me, I would describe everything to you as it was, but you can't do that with a letter.

...

At 4 p.m. on March 7-15, a star was visible in the sky. There were no other stars yet.
