UFO SIGHTINGS

Ryazan region, the vicinity of the settlement of Murmino 1978 (20-22) August 3-00 a.m. Moscow time

A group of observers of about 100 people, located about 15-20 km south of the settlement of Murmino, unexpectedly discovered a moving object of symmetrical elliptical yellow shape with an apparent size of 1/3 of the Moon against the background of the starry sky low above the horizon (about 15 °). Three light jets of the powder fireworks type were ejected from the tail section.

The jets closed at some distance from the disk. As the disk moved, the length of the tail increased, but its jets converged at the wrong point (A). The horizontal movement lasted about 30 seconds. and it covered about 30 degrees. Then the object stopped abruptly, made a 30-degree turn (towards the observer with the tail part), at the same time there was a silent exhaust with the release of a swirling cloud. The next moment, the object rushed up an incline of about 10 degrees. The discovidity of the object has become more noticeable.

No jets or discharge were observed during the upward movement. After the object disappeared, an ionized elliptical cloud of white color remained. The upward movement was observed for no more than 10 seconds. Analogs in modern technology are unknown to observers.

Composition of observers: higher and secondary specialized and technical education.

According to one of the eyewitnesses, a similar object, but without light closing jets, was observed twice near Sverdlovsk and in the area of the settlement of Susanino, Kostroma region.

An eyewitness with a secondary technical education refused in principle to give a surname, first name, patronymic and place of work, arguing that an unfavorable social and psychological atmosphere has been created around observers of such phenomena.

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.
