Initial data
In many countries, including in France, is the so-called "society for the study of UFOs". When such organizations did not exist, before the witnesses of the mysterious phenomena in the atmosphere was up next, not very pleasant choice: either to keep silent about what they saw, or send a letter to the television or in the newspaper. If the observer, having overcome a fear of ridicule and the suspicion of abnormality, chose the second path, it is nevertheless not in all cases, could count on understanding. The witness is not there: no certainty that it will be taken seriously. The journalist, which got him a letter, often understand what is happening not as it was described by an eyewitness, and if the letter followed the publication, it sometimes had events in such distorted form that they were subjected to ridicule from serious scientists. The situation was paradoxical: the source of information was unscientific, but the criticism was very scientific, because acted in the halo of scientific degrees and titles, - thus the UFO phenomenon was often the preserve of journalists, not scientists.
What does "society for the study of UFOs"? In the main collection, systematization and analysis of eyewitness accounts. Here is one of the typical cases that occurred in Bordeaux.
In the local society for the study of UFOs a man came, who said that saw in the sky strange glowing objects. According to him, the way they rippled and deformed. Conducted urgently, the survey showed that there is another witness who observed the same phenomenon. However, he described the objects seen differently - as a glowing point in the sky.
Called forecasters, astronomers, and computer. The first gave an accurate description of the meteorological conditions at the moment of observation: the sky is thin but continuous blanket of clouds, which is a ten-altitude (it was night). Astronomers explained that at the moment of observation of the horizon ascended Mars, moving to the bright stars castor and Pollux (constellation Gemini). The computer on the basis of eyewitness testimony have mapped the sky coordinates of the observed phenomena.
After painstaking work, which, undoubtedly, came to taste and Sherlock Holmes, everything fell into place. UFO this time was the planet Mars. She shone through the clouds, moving under the action of wind. They also caused light - flickering and deformation observed by eyewitnesses. But not all sightings of UFOs are explained so simply. In many cases, the solution is not yet available.

The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
