Anikin Sergey N. writes to the Commission on the:

I decided to share my observation, which I observed while serving in the army in Sverdlovsk in 1981 around the middle of July at 2 a.m. Standing at the post, I observed such a phenomenon. The weather was windless, the sky was clear and starry except for one small cloud. Walking around my post, I noticed a strange phenomenon, a cone of light was flying across an absolutely clear sky.

He moved slowly and absolutely noiselessly and at a low speed. and I watched him for 10 minutes. I did not observe any onboard or other navigation lights. The object itself was not visible, although the weather was good, just a cone of light moving across the sky. He came across a small cloud on the way, but it passed in front of the object and it looked as if the sun had passed behind the cloud. The light was like daytime running lights. Watching this progress, I thought I could see where the light was coming from, but the object was moving further away, and the cone remained visible in the sky, only the angle changed greatly, so it gradually faded out of sight until it disappeared from view. I did not observe any noises or lights in this place. The night was starry and moonless. The air was clear, so it didn't look like a hallucination.

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.
