UFO. Russia

S. Ivanov writes to the Commission on AI:

I am reporting data on the phenomena from May 28 to May 29, 1982 From 24-05 min to 2 -15

The first message from the bank of the Volga, about 20 km downriver from the city, from a teacher of the pedagogical institute, Comrade. Popova:

It was a dark night, and suddenly a luminous dot appeared moving from the west approximately to the northeast. The approximate angle to the earth's surface is 45 degrees. After a few seconds, a tail of rays appeared at the point, directed at an angle in the direction of movement.

After about 5 minutes, the movement stopped and a ball of yellow glow the size of a full moon appeared. The lighting was so strong that for 25-30 meters you could see the features of the face, minutes later the ball turned back into a dot and the movement continued and soon the glowing dot disappeared.

An electrician at the GNIPI-VT Institute, Comrade Oskin, while in the floodplain of the Kazanka River in the northern outskirts of the city on a fishing trip, observed the same phenomenon at the same hours, he is somewhat in a different version:

(boom) as No says very close - a few kilometers away, the sky turned red, followed by a rise, something like a rocket. Then a glowing dot appeared, then a ball, etc., like Popov's.

I kindly ask you to inform us about your data and, if possible, comment on the strange message of Comrade. Oskina.
