With this, allow me to address you that on September 7, 1964 at 4 hours 15-20 minutes, leaving the house, in a cloudless sky in the north direction towards Lake Pskov (which is 15-20 ki from us) above the horizon of the earth - forests 15-20 °, in a bright and precise outline of yellow-green color, a very large size, the object is not a flying plane, tail and dawn - which is about to begin. Under the plane, over the forest, bright red lighting, which was scattered to the object.

In front of the object - like a dark outline of a cloud. During the dawn before the sun, the tail part began to fade, and subsequently the loss of lightening and the head contours were extinguished.

The object did not move. I, my wife and a neighbor saw it, because they went to the regular bus at that time. What is this strange object?

 Response:

In response to your letter of January 16, 1986, I am trying to describe this phenomenon anew. I apologize for the sketch - poor vision due to a trembling hand, they refuse to obey. I hope that what I have stated and my assumptions will allow you to more accurately unravel such phenomena.

Being in a summer cottage in the village of Tryntovo, Nov. Izborsky village of the Pechora district of the Pskov region, September 7, 1984 at 4 hours 20-30 minutes. I left the house to get ready and escort my spouse and neighbor to the shuttle bus, the next 5 hours. 30 minutes. - and I saw in the sky over the Pskov lake of the eastern-northern part a bright outline of neon-faint green in

large-sized illumination, in the image of an airplane - that is, the "object" above the forest (W) and under it, from the top of the forest (point I) dark red coloring, with scattering up to half the height of the "object":

1. On the surrounding objects - there was no light reflection or illumination from the "object".

2. The observer is marked on the copy with the sign A- from Nov. Izborsk is 9 km away and Pechora is 16 km away.

3. In the picture: G is the Northern Star.

4. The distance G -B, the angle A is approximately 25-30 °

5. The length of the "object" B - C, angle A approx. it is equal to I0-15° 6. The height of the "object" E- D, angle A approx. is equal to I0-I5° 7. The point I- is equal to half of E - D.

8. Woodland (H).

9. A dark cloud or something incomprehensible ( - 3 ) .

10. Movements, or changes - except for repayment, were not noticed.

11. Approximately at 5 o'clock. 30-35 min. the red color over the forest was disappearing.

12. By about 6.00 a.m., the "object" In - In was being repaid from the tail by a third.

13. The night is cloudless - and without the Moon.

14. The range of the forest from A to E is approximately 515-530 meters

errors in degrees - in the range, height and length of the "object" may be, because the definition of an inexperienced eye fluctuates, although the corresponding coordinates of the Moon or the Sun were given 0.5 °. (from me - G.S.).

Another question arises. Whether to write off this phenomenon as a natural surprise or miracles. Could it be an ordinary reflection of ground objects on a celestial screen - that is, a random coincidence of the sun's rays (somewhere at this time still far beyond the horizon) on a ground object - let's say on the image of an airplane, which is still reflected in the night sky through objects: searchlight mirrors, radar, TV antenna or other lighting objects. And such a ground object could be an airfield with its own lighting points, the roofs of semicircular hangars.

The phenomena of red color over the forest (S) are a spectrum of small water droplets or atmospheric moisture, when meeting with sunlight (like a rainbow, but with red color). Approximately 5 hours. 30 miv the red color disappeared. The globe turned, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays changed and the red color disappeared. In probability, we can assume that the "object" would be higher than atmospheric moisture, because the object itself was not red.

Point (3), a dark cloud, in front of the nose of the "object" there may be a really black cloud. In my opinion, that reflective objects (they should lack some kind of plane) in order to leave a shadow from themselves.

Sorry for my prejudice. I hope that you can: fill in my interest, from a scientific point of view about this "object", which I thank you in advance.
