In the summer of this year (it was not possible to find out the numbers, since the observers did not have christenings and name days on that day), a UFO in the form of a balloon was visible over the city. The color is metallic (aluminum), monochrome, unchanged. It was clearly visible, but it glowed, perhaps, with reflected light. The observation time is about 14 hours. The direction is south of the city, the declination is about 60 degrees. The ball did not have any protruding parts. 2 elderly women were observed. One of them (Demina from the village of Barsuki, 1.5 km from Yasnogorsk) became interested and invited another passerby to watch. The balloon hung motionless in the air all the time (about 20 minutes). they compare it with a soap bubble, etc. they did not see the movement. The wind is moderate, the sky is almost clear, the sun is almost at right angles to the object. They do not associate it with anything previously known, optical deception is denied. There was a factory behind them (and quite a large one), but they also did not associate it with its activities, they could not explain the nature, for them it was mysterious and that was all. The conclusions about the size and distance are disappointing: it was visible more than the full moon (meaning in size), large and close. This, of course, is not the answer, it all depends on the distance.

There was no smoke or fumes, there was no noise, or if there was, the city was noisier.
