Says Dobrykin Anatoly Vladimirovich (radio mechanic).

In late summer and early autumn of 1980, in the period from 0 to 1-30 nights (there was a clear starry sky, about a full moon, windless and quiet).

At about an angle of 30 degrees to the horizon, a rather dense veil in the form of a wedge appeared in the field of view, moving in the direction of the observer, in the northern part of the sky. This veil resembled opaque tobacco smoke in color. The edges of the wedge looked denser (cone?) The impression was that the phenomenon occurred at a high altitude, and absolutely soundlessly. As the phenomenon developed, the density of the veil did not change, but the haze began to slowly melt (fade) throughout the wedge, which took about 15 seconds. The phenomenon ended without any residual signs. I don't remember now if the stars appeared immediately after the wedge melted or later. The observation was conducted from the fountain at the central entrance to the park.

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.
