On a summer night in 1974, on the way to Ustyurt, a detachment in two cars (only 5 people, including V.D. Sidorov) noticed a strange object in the clear sky on the western side.

He walked from west to east on the northern side of the sky. A self-luminous bluish hazy translucent shell was observed, sharply bounded from the front and sides by a brighter white contour (parabola) and blurred from behind. The length is up to a third of the sky. Inside the shell in front was a body similar to a parachute (or electric lamp), which swung back and forth (the angular size is about 5 times smaller than the lunar one). The angle of the place is 45-50 degrees. The head of the shell is about 0.5 deg in size. The object moved away without going over the horizon.

Eyewitnesses were afraid of the "terrible sight". The observation lasted about 20 minutes. The "Parachute" shone very brightly, brighter than the Moon, seemed shiny and the same color as the contour of the shell...

Booster, the rocket and tracks

For UFOs often take stages of rockets, parts of space ships burning in the atmosphere, the launches of various missile technology for military purposes, etc., and traces from them. They attract attention mostly in the dark, but in the day time have a greater aura of mystery.

Formation of the track of the launch vehicle occurs in the tropopause (the layer between the troposphere and stratosphere), which sharply reduced the vertical temperature gradient. The emergence of the so-called "jellyfish" influenced by water vapor, which are subject to enhanced condensation.
