About UFOs, you should pay attention to one very short entry in the "Chronicle, 1497".

The chronicler reported that on 6 November 1474 of the year in the frozen ground the snow has gone, November 8, faced the river, and November 9, hunting (organiser of hunting) of the great Prince Ivan III, Gregory Pervushov, went to the field (probably on business) and there's... a Phenomenon that was observed in amazement the Grand huntsman, was called "two suns," because, obviously, just could not find another definition. It was hardly a optical doubling effect: the differences between the conventional fluorescent light and another object was obvious.

True about the sun said that it "idyashe his way". But "another unusual higher than among the sky idyashe". This object, called the "second sun" shone very brightly, and beams at him when it was absent.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

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.

Meteor

Meteor, "shooting star" is a phenomenon that occurs when small meteor bodies (for example, fragments of comets or asteroids) burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. A similar phenomenon of greater intensity (brighter than magnitude -4) it's called a fireball.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

"Tailed star" in the picture (probably added only as an illustration) corresponds to Halley's comet. The description also corresponds to the comet (most likely) or halo.
