We bring to your attention the following case of our collective observation of the ilo. In the atmosphere and what took place on 06/14/80 In the area of the railway station Sheremetyevo, Ryazan region.

On Saturday, 06/14/80, Our pear, consisting of 4 people, left Michurinsk for fishing in the railway station of Sheremetyevo station, where two ponds are located at a short distance from the station. We fished all day and decided to go home to Michurinsk by electric train departing from Sheremetyevo at about 23-47, at 23-30 we moved away from pond No. 1 in the direction of the railway bridge and, approaching the forest protection strip, which is rare in this place, we suddenly saw in the sky a bright fireball with a diameter of about 50-60 cm, which had brightness exceeding arc welding.

The ball moved across the sky and behind it there was a long glowing trail of bright orange color, gradually turning into darker tones at a distance from the ball.

Near the fireball, a large number of thin and bright rays were clearly visible running along this trail and getting lost in it, these rays separated from the ball not in a straight line, but in an arc in the direction opposite to the movement of the ball.

We observed this UFO for 2-3 minutes, until it entered the trees of the forest protection strip on the other side of the railway track. We observed it at an angle to the horizon of about 20 degrees, while the trail of rays following the ball turned into darker tones, then these rays blurred and represented a light hazy band. 

It was a big footprint. It seemed to us that the angle between the observer's eyes, the ball and the end of the trace, was at least 60 degrees. Before reaching the bridge, we turned to the railway station Sheremetyevo, but we did not calculate the time for watching the ball and talking and were late for boarding the electric train. After staying at the Sheremetyevo Station for 30-35 minutes, we decided to return to the pond and go home in the morning, and also decided to look in the direction of UFO removal, for which we crossed the second forest protection strip and went out into the open, about 100 m away from the railway line. In the sky, we saw a pink trail drawn to the horizon, resembling a cloud at sunset, it is characteristic that this cloud did not disappear in the sky until dawn, although at the time of UFO observation the sky was cloudless, with well-visible stars. During the UFO observation period, the latter did not make any sounds and moved around the sky completely noiselessly.

Two days later, we learned that the same phenomenon was seen by individual tunics in Ryazhsk, Ryazan region.

We attach to our message an approximate plan of the area where we were located, on which ponds, places of our observations and the direction of movement of UFOs are marked.

We confirm the truthfulness of the above with our signatures.
