Observers Sorokina G.N. and Astakhoa N.N.

The observation was carried out from a fixed point. The weather was clear, the wind was light. At the moment of observation, the stars were visible.

A glow in the sky caught our attention. We saw an object in the sky unexpectedly. one star-shaped object with a clear edge was observed. He was moving, then stopped and flared up. The total duration of the observation is 5-7 minutes. From the start of the observation to the stop with the flash - about 3 minutes. It takes about 3 minutes from the flash to the disappearance.

During the initial phase, the object was followed by a plume-tail (the object itself is a star). As you move, the size of the tail is first with a one-story house at a distance of 25 m, then with a two-story one. The object glowed slightly fainter than the moon.

The star is uniform before the flash, and the tail is in the center towards a blue tone, with a clear white stripe along the edges. Slightly blurred towards the edge, from below the ground the blurred edge is larger. During the flash, the brightness of the star increased dramatically (it looks like welding).

After the flash, the tail plume behind the "star" disappeared (melted). The object is frozen. then "tentacle threads" appeared above it (the color is paler than the object itself). Then the object began to move.

The object was observed in the northwest. about 45-50 degrees above the horizon.

He moved from west to east, then north. The traectroy was smooth in every phase.

The speed is less than the speed of a transport aircraft at an altitude of 5000m.

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.
