Reports from the policemen on duty at the Ostankino TV tower.



Chernyshov Vladimir Alexandrovich:

He calls the time of flight of the luminous body towards Losino-Ostrovskaya 2 hours 53 minutes. I was flying at a low speed, less than the visual speed of the aircraft. The height is slightly higher than the height of the Ostankino Tower. The size was smaller than the apparent size of the moon. The brightness is greater than the brightness of the moon. During the flight, the illumination of ground objects increased dramatically.



Volostnov Alexey Fedorovich

Calls the time - 2 hours. 55 minutes. The specified luminous object flew lower than an ordinary regular plane, but higher than the Ostankino Tower. It flew slowly, emitting layered luminous circles. At first he moved slowly, then the circles disappeared and he quickly disappeared from view in the direction of Babushkin.



Alexander Mikhailovich Shishkov (on duty at the observation deck 330 m.)

I noticed a glowing object at 3.00. The object was moving in a royon Mytishchi, Kaliningrad, making sharp turns. The size is slightly smaller than the moon, but brighter, there is a glow around the body.



The testimony of four more policemen does not add anything new.

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.
