Кирилловское
Leningradskaya oblast
Russia

On the night of September 23-24, 1979, Captain 3r. Medvedev and 3 other naval officers were returning by car from the Karelian Isthmus to Leningrad. After driving about 20 km from Kirillovskoye, between 24-00 and 1-00, they saw a round ball hanging motionless, glowing with a matte light, to the east of the highway beyond the forest. The size of the ball was 3 times the size of the moon's disk. 

To the right, down from the ball, a stationary luminous plume was visible, which gradually expanded away from the ball, but did not come into contact with it. The width of the plume was three times wider than the ball. Trying to make it to the bridges, the eyewitnesses did not stop, but observed this phenomenon only from the car.
