Captain of the 2nd rank B.I. Iznyuk writes to the Commission on AI:

On September 20, 1977, I stood watch on the bridge from 00-00 to 4-00. We were in the White Sea. At 4-15, I was still undressing, figuring out the situation, and suddenly a shout came from above: "Run upstairs! A sign!" And laughter. I quickly went out onto the bridge.

The starry sky, only clouds on the horizon. Directly above us, almost at the zenith, a bright "star" was moving - brighter than zero magnitude! Four clear beams trailed behind her.

The "star" was rapidly approaching the clouds on the horizon and finally went behind the cloud. And then I noticed that the bright "star" was followed by a second equally bright "star", but without rays!

And suddenly, when approaching the cloud, this second "star" lit up with a "halo" (white).

The first "star" came out below the cloud with the same rays and went to the horizon behind the clouds; the second "star" followed, but did not appear from behind the cloud anymore.

I watched all this for about 10 minutes. The man who replaced me at 4-00 says that at 4-10 he saw a bright "star" with rays moving across the sky. At the end of one, the lowest ray (in the light zone, four bright dots appeared.

Then these dots went to the side and disappeared, and a second, equally bright "star" separated from the luminous "star" with rays, but without rays, and followed a little higher and slightly behind...

I noticed it late, because I was watching the "star" with the rays without stopping at first.

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.
