Alexander Ivanovich Babenko writes to the Commission on AI:

On the night of June 14-15, 1980, a mysterious phenomenon was observed from an open window of the 9th floor of house No. 11 of the Dzerzhinets microdistrict, Pushkino.

Observation time from 23-55 to 0-02 (the clock is checked) an unknown object appeared from the northeast and was moving parallel to the Yaroslavl highway to Moscow at the speed of a slow-flying helicopter.

It was a glowing ball of dark red color, leaving behind at first a fat, slightly elongated trail, similar to the contrail of an airplane. then the gas trail began to expand, resembling an elongated children's balloon with perfectly smooth walls.

the object flew parallel to the ground and 3 kilometers from Pushkino changed the direction of movement, turning towards Krasnoarmeysk, and then disappeared behind a forest without changing speed.

Interestingly, shortly before the turn, a smokeless ring separated from the object, which began to slowly creep onto the outer shell wall.

After the turn, the glow of the shell was no longer observed, at the initial part of the path the shell seemed illuminated by the sun.

The trace could be observed after 10 and 20 minutes in almost the same place, and the gas shell disappeared faster.

At about 0-20, a previously invisible part of the beginning of the trail became visible (highlighted), which descended, twisting, to the ground.

In addition to the author of the message, this phenomenon was observed by other persons.
