Message by malysheva L.H. about the observation of an unusual object in Leningrad

On February 11, 1976, at about 19-21 o'clock, walking with my friend along Bolotnaya Street in the direction of Shvernik Ave., I saw a sight in the dark evening sky. At an angle of 35-40 degrees to the horizon from right to left and very slowly (like a boat on the waves), an unknown object in the form of a cigar, of a uniform dark gray color, was flying. It was perceived as a small body and I thought at first that it was an airship. Its contour was clearly outlined, it seemed to me that the "cigar" was not so far away (within 4 km) and relatively low above the ground. The apparent size of the object (length) was about 4x the diameter of the lunar disk at the zenith. He flew along a horizontal trajectory, slightly moving away from the observer, completely silent. I didn't notice the sparkle, but there was a feeling of a very faint glow around the body. I vaguely remember that there was some kind of glowing area in the tail of the body. a short and wide (the entire width of the body) beam of light, extending about half the length of the object, came out of the nose. Ahead, the beam did not end abruptly, but gradually dissolved into darkness. The nose of the object in this place was somewhat "smeared".

Along the upper and lower edges of the cigar, a number of fairly noticeable rectangular spots were visible, glowing in a color that I identified as a combination of the light of a neon lamp and an electric lamp. The contours of the spots were a little "smeared", it seemed that the light from them came from inside, and the surface seemed to phosphorescent. There were at least five of them, rather more. The spots receded slightly from the nose and tail, creating a whole picture of a luminous perimeter. I marked the intensity of their glow as average. The beam in the bow shone the same color as the spot, only brighter, the intensity of the light did not change.

The observation lasted about 5 minutes until the object disappeared behind the trees. I was impressed by what I saw. Subconsciously, a feeling of excitement and trepidation arose, which did not pass until the evening. I noticed that passers-by, noticing the object, stopped dead in their tracks. I told my colleagues at work and it turned out that at least 4 other people had seen this object. My message was treated with understanding.

I have observed such an object only once in my life. the weather at the time of observation was calm and cloudless. The stars were shining in the sky and it wasn't very cold.
