An unidentified flying object, or UFO, still remains a mystery to many. However, scientists and researchers continue to look for explanations for this phenomenon.

UFO is a phenomenon that has no logical explanation even after a close study of all available evidence by experts - astronomer Joseph Allen Heineck

Many people deny the possibility of the existence of UFOs, however, historical records say the opposite. In the annals of the Middle Ages, you can find numerous records of unusual phenomena in the sky. One of these phenomena occurred in Russia in 1474.

The Chronicle of 1497 describes a case when the Grand ducal hunter Grigory Pervushkov saw an unusual phenomenon in the sky, which was called "two suns". This phenomenon was very bright, but there were no rays from it. The chronicler reported that another unusual phenomenon was higher than the one in the sky, but the nature of this phenomenon was not determined.

It is claimed that all UFOs fall under one of four possible explanations: astronomical, meteorological, erroneous identification of the aircraft or optical illusion / psychological hallucination. However, in this case, none of these explanations completely fits.

____________________________

And about UFOs, it is worth paying attention to one very short entry in the "Chronicle of 1497". The chronicler reported that on November 6, 1474, snow began to fall in the frozen ground, on November 8, the river rose, and on November 9, the hunter (hunting organizer) of Grand Duke Ivan III, Grigory Pervushkov, went to the field (obviously on official business) and there ... The phenomenon that the amazed Grand ducal hunter observed was called "two suns", because, obviously, there was simply no other definition. It was hardly an optical doubling effect: the differences between an ordinary daylight and another object were obvious. It is said about the true sun that it "goes its own way." But "another unusual thing is higher than that among the sky." And this object, called the "second sun", shone very brightly, and at the same time it had no rays.

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.
