Pavel Vasilyevich Dereshko (excavator operator) tells.

During my vacation, I was in the village of Maryinskaya with my parents.

One day, in clear, calm weather, shortly after sunset, my father and I observed an interesting phenomenon (it was about 20 o'clock). At an altitude of no more than 300 m above the ground, an invisible object with a bright beam, like large searchlights, flew over the village from north to south along the Kumyv River.

the object was moving at low speed, and the beam was moving from side to side, slowly, as if searching for something in the village.

Before reaching us 200-300 meters, the object continued to remain invisible, stopped, then gradually accelerating, without turning off the spotlight, began to move in the opposite direction, rapidly gaining altitude until it disappeared from sight.

The beam, in color, shape and size, was very similar to the beam of large searchlights. The observation period is about 5 minutes.

My father said (he did not see it himself) that a flying disk was observed in the village of Kuba (2-3 km to the south), but I do not know when it was.

Also, according to my father, UFOs were very often observed in Leningrad before the war (my father worked as a machinist).

Hypotheses

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

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.

Airplane / Helicopter

An aircraft heavier than air for flights in the atmosphere (and outer space (e.g. An orbital aircraft)), using the aerodynamic lift of a glider to keep itself in the air (when flying within the atmosphere) and the thrust of a power (propulsion) installation for maneuvering and compensating for the loss of total mechanical energy to drag. 



A rotorcraft in which the lift and thrust required for flight are created by one or more main rotors powered by an engine or several engines. They differ in maneuverability, the ability to hover and almost vertical takeoff.
