UFO. Russia

Roza Fedorovna Maksakova, Senior technical architect of the Karelgrazhdanproekt Institute, writes to the Commission on AI:

I was riding trolleybus No. 1 home from work and, before reaching the Microdistrict stop, I saw an inversion trail; at first I did not attach importance to it, but accidentally followed the beginning of the trail with my eyes and was surprised that this trail was "headed" by some kind of ball, similar to a large bright star or the planet Venus; the color was yellow. However, the trail was much wider than the airplane one, it was disorderly, with large waves, whitish, narrowed at the beginning, as if enveloping the balloon itself. The fact that the ball was moving, I noticed already in the trolleybus. The volume of the ball was not felt, just a spinning circle, the speed can be compared with the speed of an airplane.

When I got off the trolleybus, for some reason the balloon did not move, but stood in place, and then I was really surprised. A cloud formed under it - from the same trace that had been flying behind the ball before. About half of the balloon towered above this cloud. Two greenish rays emanated from it - almost vertically, wide, diverging at an angle from the ball.

The balloon hung for about 5 minutes. I looked at my watch when the ball began to disappear: it was 18-05, but my watch is maybe a little ahead. The ball disappeared quickly, but gradually. It seemed that he was flying directly away from me and therefore shrinking in size. Eventually it went out and disappeared into a cloud. The cloud itself gradually melted away. When I got to the house, there was nothing in the sky anymore.

Then I saw the Moon rising from behind the forest - it was huge, terrible orange.
