Zinaida Fyodorovna Minaeva and her son Evgeny Alexandrovich Minaev report to the Commission on AI.

Late in the evening, Yevgeny Alexandrovich went out on the balcony to smoke a cigarette and saw that a shiny object slightly larger than a dot, white in color, shining like a bright star, was moving across the sky. A vast plume of bluish-fiery color stretched behind the object. He called his sister and mother. My father didn't go to look. The movement was smooth and smooth, very correct, like a controlled body. The trajectory is almost horizontal with a slight decrease. The direction of movement is from north to northeast, the angle of the place is less than 15 degrees. The speed is higher than that of an airplane. The observation time is 23-55 - 0-05.

Everyone claims that an object of this kind is being observed for the first time in their lives. He made an unforgettable impression.

Although the central body shone like something metallic, it did not look like an airplane.

The feeling is that this is not a natural phenomenon.

There were dances at the Orel state farm at that time and hundreds of people could see the phenomenon.

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.
