Initial data
On the night of September 19-20, 1977, I was at night work in the stone-working workshop of the Pitkyarant mining department, located on the island of Suskoyansaari in Lake Ladoga.
At about 5 a.m., tired of the noise of machinery, I went outside. The night was clear and frosty. In the east, near the horizon, the sky was light with a kind of greenish-blue tint and there were also
well-lit stripes are visible, which I took for the contrail of the aircraft.
In general, it gave the impression of a very early dawn, the beauty of which was complemented by inversion stripes. The picture did not change for 10-15 minutes, and then, for another 30-40 minutes, the same thing was visible in the windows of the workshop, only it seems that the stripes began to blur.
I see two significant drawbacks in this description myself:
1) The phenomenon was observed by me as an ordinary early dawn, and only after comparing it with newspaper reports, I realized that I had observed part of a natural phenomenon that took place at the same time in Petrozavodsk.
2) This recording was made at the request of G.N. Safonova on April 10, 1978, so there may be some inaccuracies due to the prescription of what happened. In particular, I remember well that there were two arc-shaped tracks (stripes), as if part of a large circle, but I am not firmly sure whether the straight track passed slightly above these arcs or whether it crossed the southern one (the direction of observation of line 3 - B).
Hypotheses
Cloud (natural and man-made)
Clouds are the products of condensation of water vapor suspended in the atmosphere, visible in the sky from the surface of the earth. They consist of tiny drops of water and/or ice crystals (called cloud elements).
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.
