Writes the employee of the Yaroslavl radio factory Alekseev Viktor Vladimirovich:

...

There was another case in my life, it was about 3 years ago before the new year. I left the factory at about 17 o'clock and came to the bus stop, decided to go to the center. cities. it was very cold and dark outside, and the wind was driving clouds across the sky. and now, in the west, near the horizon to the right of our refinery, I saw a yellowish-orange ellipse. At first I thought it was the moon, but I thought, why then such a shape. looking to the southeast, the moon peeked through the gaps in the clouds. And this object was hanging in one place and the clouds then covered it, then it became visible again. Then the bus came up and I thought I would watch from the bus, but there were a lot of passengers on the bus and the windows were very frozen. I shared what I saw only with my family.

There were two more cases in my life, but these are of a different nature and they obviously relate to atmospheric electrical phenomena. If what I have written to you is of any interest, I will be very glad.

Hypotheses

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

Light sources on clouds

Lasers, searchlights, car headlights and other light sources of sufficient power can form a column of light in a dusty or foggy atmosphere, various patterns on low clouds, fog or haze. Also, the rays can highlight parts of the cloud, objects or birds, giving them bizarre shapes.

Searchlights can shine with one beam, several. They can be stationary, move, and also form spinning carousels on the clouds, which can change shape and color.

It often seems that the light source is located at the point where the beam hits the cloud, and not vice versa.

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.
