As reported by "the Vilna Herald" in 1892 over the City it was observed the Anomalous atmospheric Phenomenon.

Wednesday, April 1, at about 9 PM, some inhabitants of our city noticed an unusually strange aerial or celestial phenomenon. Above the center of the city is very brightly shone some light, having an elongated shape with pointed ends. On the West side it was very beautiful reflection of the orange color in the form of a small oval of light. Downward from the surface reflected light misty lane, and in the middle, in the thickened part, I could see a large dark stain. The Orb stood above the city center, 20 minutes and slowly moved to the North-West, the city wall and, after standing for about 15 minutes, began gradually to retire on the same North-Western direction, taking in the way the different phases: that is in the form of an irregular oblong with the angles of the polygon, in the shape of a boat with a forked end. During the removal of the lights very vividly it was evident that near him was a body of the numerous fire points, which had the form of an inverted jug, and that was shining with a trailing body, moving across the sky, bent down in one direction and then the other. Half of the 12th light was to fade and finally disappeared completely from the sky. Remarkably, at 11 o'clock, when the sky was overcast with clouds and it was seen no stars, no moon, described Shine as brightly continued to Shine as before.

Halo

Halo usually appears around the Sun or moon, sometimes around other powerful light sources such as street lights. There are many types of halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in Cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere. The form of the observed halo depends on the shape and arrangement of crystals. Reflected and refracted by the ice crystals, the light often turns into a spectrum, which makes halo look like a rainbow, but a halo in low light has a low chroma, which is associated with the peculiarities of twilight vision.

The airship

The aircraft lighter than air, which is a combination of the balloon with the mover (usually a screw with an electric motor or internal combustion engine) and the system of the orientation control (steering control), through which the airship can move in any direction regardless of the direction of air flow.
The shape of the airships are divided into:
