V. Sobolev writes to the Commission on:

Three years ago, around the end of May or the first half of June, I observed a mysterious phenomenon (UFO) in the night sky. You may already have information about this case. and yet I decided to write.

I was waiting for a car. It was 2 a.m. The evening sky was shining with stars, and, of course, attracted my gaze. Suddenly, in the northeast, a bright spiral shot up in the sky above the horizon, glowing with a pinkish-blue light. I thought it was a rocket launch according to a special program... After a few moments, a misty dot began to form in the sky, a spot that was slowly moving in my direction.

There were 6 or 8 spirals, but no more, perhaps 6. And all this happened completely silently.

The whole system kept moving. then, before reaching the center, she continued to move. Then, before reaching the zenith of the night hemisphere, she seemed to freeze in place. The spirals disappeared, leaving only a dimly glowing spot of a cent, a dark outline around it and a barely noticeable glow behind the outline. After 15-20 seconds, the object changed its flight course and, increasing its speed, began to rapidly move away towards the north pole.

His gaze became bright, a real star flying in the night. The speed of the object was apparently high, as it very quickly overcame the visible area in the direction of the north pole. Then, when the driver and I drove until sunrise, the sky at the launch site of the object shone strongly, as if someone had accidentally set it on fire. With dawn, the trail began to fade and disappeared into the gathering strength of the day.

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.
