Zufar Kadikov, astronomer (Kazan, AOE Observatory station); residents of Kichibalyk

" . . . I noticed a bright object moving in the sky in the northwest. With the accuracy possible for the eye and experience in observational astronomy

I watched him until he disappeared.

It was a sickle with sharp edges and sharp horns, the angular size between the horns (at the moment when I noticed) was about 15; the color of the sickle is yellow. There was a pale bluish tail in the proportions shown in the drawing. The movement took place in a straight line, the whole picture perspectively decreased and the object disappeared, turning into a dot. The moment of disappearance was 18 hours 02 minutes with an accuracy of 15 seconds, the dotted part of the trajectory was established by a survey of citizens who saw the object. I tied the flight path I saw to the stars... 

A survey of residents of Kichibalk allowed Kadikov to establish linear parameters: the distance of the object from Pyatigorsk in the line of sight is about 230 km, the height above the ground is 100-120 km, the linear distance between the horns is about 600 m, the linear flight speed is about 5 km/ sec.
