A message about the observation of an unusual phenomenon in the city of Leningrad.

On February 9, 1989, in the period from 17-00 to 18-00, a group of people observed an unusual phenomenon - a flying object flying along the Tallinn highway (between the highway and the airfield) and further west of Kotlin Island. This phenomenon was observed by Nechitailo V.I., his wife Nechitailo G.N., Sviridovsky V.L., Borisov G.N., Smirnov N.I., Smirnov Y.M., Korchevsky V.P.

Vladimir Ivanovich Nechitailo (48 years old, Deputy head. department of the Institute of VIASM) on 02/19/189 at 17-20 I was driving by bus along the Tallinn highway from Gorelovo to Leningrad. The Tallinn highway runs from southeast to northwest. I noticed an unnaturally bright white-milky object hanging or flying at an observer along the highway towards Leningrad between the highway and the airfield at an altitude of about 15 degrees above the horizon. A round-colored object the size of a 2-penny coin on an outstretched arm. It can't be a star or a planet because it's bigger. the distance to the object is not determined, but it seemed like it was in the area of the airport or beyond it. V.N. Nechitailo drew the attention of his wife Galina Nikolaevna, but she said that it was apparently a mercury lamp on a crane. However, there are no buildings between the highway and the airfield, but there is a field and there are no cranes on it.

The object was observed from Volkhonskoye highway to Migovo. In Staro-Panovo, the object disappeared behind residential single-storey buildings and when they left for the crossing over the railway to Migovo, the object disappeared.

I am familiar with the UFO literature, a member of the Fact society.

Hypotheses

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

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.

Investigation
