Letter to the Commission on AYA from Slobodova Borislava Markovna:

Approximately at the beginning or in the middle of the 2nd decade of January 1985, I observed an unusual picture from the window of my apartment, the windows of which face the southwest, about 17 hours...

The day was overcast, I accidentally went to the window and saw that an object was flying right above me, but it looked like an airplane. It seemed to me that a light bulb was flickering on it, but when this object approached me at an angle from top to bottom, it seemed to me that it was an airplane, just burning, but the flame was somehow unusual, like not real, but some kind of cold. At the moment of the descent of this burning object, some point separated from it (along the way), also glowing. After flying quite a long distance, everything suddenly disappeared. I was waiting for an accident to happen, i.e. a burning plane could fall on the city, but thank God it didn't happen, and I still don't know what it was.

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.
