Irina Konstantinovna Sukhova (30 years old) writes to the Commission on AI:

It was in June (I don't remember exactly 1981 or 82) I remember June because it was white nights. At that time, I was working on the motor ship M. Ulyanova". there was a regular flight to Valaam Island. At night, between one and two, I noticed a light coming from the cabin window, like a bright moonlit night. But before that, I saw that there was no moon in the sky, but such a gray twilight was white. I looked out the window and saw this. In the beginning, I thought that a rocket was launching, because it had 3 beams from below, similar to rocket nozzles. but this "object" hung motionless, there was no smoke, no noise, as when a rocket took off. yes, I immediately noticed the silence because I could only hear the waves lapping and the ship's engine running. The object was at an altitude of 100 meters from the water and it seemed to me that it was moving along with the ship.

Dark, round, 3 rays were coming from it, they seemed to merge, there was a smooth, yellow light around, not like a bursting flame. So he moved with us for about 5 minutes.

Then the light from the "object" seemed to "curl up", went up. And somehow he was instantly transported along an increasing trajectory to the other end of the sky. There, the "object" froze for a few seconds, and then a long thin ray of light burst out of it, it almost reached the water, as if it had pushed off from the surface. And the "object" disappeared. and again, there was no smoke or any trace of it left in the sky.

When I started talking the next day, it turned out that several other people from the ship's crew had seen it.
