UFO. Belarus

In 1847, "Moscow city" leaf No. 192 dated 4 September placed a reprint of "the Mogilev provincial sheets", which stated the following :

"14th of July last, in Mogilev and its surroundings, on the southwest side of the horizon, around the moon seen was a rare phenomenon - a large four-cross bright fiery colors. The moon in its first quarter, seemed ordinary and common colors in the middle of the cross-section of the cross. The apparition began at 10 o'clock and continued until 3 o'clock in the morning. The first cross was small and pale in color. Then grew seven feet or more and took the red fiery color, which was changed several times, then paled, then blushed. When the cross increased, the corners connecting the upper part with a diameter above the Moon was clearly visible rays of the same color as the cross, but is slightly paler. The lower part of the cross was much longer than the upper.

This phenomenon is seen by many urban and rural residents. Here it is recorded from the words of reliable persons are rural residents who watched signified not only his family but also by many other witnesses..."

So agree with the "smart" experts on UFOs (for example, Valentine Korneyev, doctor of historical Sciences, Professor), analyzing the above? Obviously, they claim that the observed for five hours cross-shaped object obviously "hung out" in earth orbit between the Moon and Earth. Change color - from pale to red-fire - may be indicative or the engine of the spacecraft, holding it at more or less constant point of the earth orbit, or of its illumination by sunlight. The fact of the relative immobility of the object, or "freezing" can be explained by the gravitational forces between the earth and the Moon...

We can add that this is not an isolated observation of this kind.

What? Whether an unidentified object is "hang up" in orbit, inducing a superstitious horror at Mogilev? "UFO Committee" takes a different point of view. In front of us, I think, a typical description of a halo, by the way, the widespread phenomena of nature.

Chroniclers - and they often were bearded monks saw, according to custom, in the high heaven what was not there and did painting seen fantastic twists.

Perhaps someone from visitors to the site saw a form of halo: light, painted in iridescent tones ring around the sun. This vertical range occurs when the atmosphere is many hexagonal ice crystals reflecting and refracting the sun's rays like a prism.

Sometimes, what is the reflection of sunlight from tiny ice crystals, floating in frosty air, striking the glowing column.

Finally it happens: the sky after sunset, visible in the glowing column and the upper part of the vertical circle. Intersecting, they also give the picture of a large cross. And sometimes a halo reminiscent of the old knight's sword.
