Letter to the Commission on the:

I, Yuri Vasilyevich Vorobyov, born in 1938, graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Railway Transport Engineers with a degree in mechanical engineer of diesel traction in 1968. I work as a machinist in the locomotive depot "Riga", at the extracurricular station "Shkirotava".

In September, at 4-20 in the morning, I noticed a strange phenomenon. To my right, the territory of PMS-91, located in a north-westerly direction approximately, is obscured by a white dense cloud, going up in concentric circles along the hyperbola, and at the very end of this cone a bright star, or exhaust fire, which is already visible from a fairly long distance, sparkled. White clouds covered all objects within a radius of about 100 meters. The sky was moonless, starry, clear, a breeze was blowing, but the cloud did not shift, but melted. Stacks of sleepers, stars and another perspective began to be seen through it, and a halo of green color appeared around the cloud. And the further the green halo moved away and seemed smaller, until it turned into a green hole in the black sky the size of a KAMAZ wheel. The flashing fire at the top of the cone disappeared behind a cloud.

The green hole in the sky was constantly observed in the north at 7-10 degrees from the horizon, although I drove through the station for more than two kilometers in a north-westerly direction, and disappeared only in the rays of the rising sun.

after reading the article "Exactly at 4.10" in the newspaper "Trud" dated January 30, 1985, I decided to write to you about my observations, it's a pity that the article does not specify the month and day of observations.

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.
