The researchers of the Belarusian "UFO Committee" found in the archives known ufologist F. J. Siegel report on the observation of UFOs in Minsk in 1968.

9 September 1968, about 10 o'clock in the evening (21.40 - 21.50) Moscow time I sat in the square near the house-Museum of the 1st Congress of the RSDLP face-to-Victory square (direction North East).

Considering the lights on the tower, saw her right, I thought, satellite. Sputnik was shining a little brighter than stars of the 1st magnitude, but without the characteristic stars Shine, and was like Matt bright, color and size from the stars was no different, moving at a speed and at altitude, typical of the flight of satellites.

Unusual was the fact that the "satellite" suddenly darted to the side, and then, as if nothing had happened, continued on his way with the same speed and in the same direction. The brightness is not changed.

All this was observed within 10-15 seconds. That part of the sky where the object was removed, was filled with light from the street lights and his fate is not known to me. The weather was dry and the sky in the part where the phenomenon was observed, was clear and stars were clearly visible.

I served in the air force and I am confident that this object was not like any I'm familiar with the aircraft.

Satellite

Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
