Nadezhda Mikhailovna Zimina (accountant) tells us.

At the end of 1978 or 1979, on a clear, warm evening, I stood on the platform of the Lermontovsky junction and waited for the train at 17-20. In the northwestern part of the sky, two bright divergent rays (as from a pocket flashlight) were noticed directed upwards. The light source itself was not visible. the rays were distinct, bright. At first they were motionless, then slowly gaining speed, disappeared behind Mount Mashuk in a north-westerly direction. The observation period is 5-10 minutes.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Twilight and protivoallergennye rays

Bright Sun breaking through the clouds can be mistaken for UFOs. This version also includes various celestial bodies (Sun, Moon, stars), whose fragments are visible through uneven cloud, and the reflection of light from them on the clouds, which may be perceived as separate objects.

Crepuscular rays - the name of the rays of sunlight that pass through gaps in clouds or other objects to form the visible "light pillars" or "waves". Crepuscular rays are visible due to the fact that the region of space with sunlit air separated clearly from the shaded space.
