UFO. Latvia

In the month of August 1972, at about 4 o'clock in the morning, my friend and I were walking near Lake Brigi, the village of Brigi, the Latvian SSR, the Ludza district. My friend's name is Yuri Volt, he lives in the same village. We met a fisherman on the way.

According to conversations, he turned out to be a meteorologist from Kamchatka, and in the city of Zilup, 5 km from Briga, his relatives live. He was on vacation. The weather was cloudy, but in places the stars twinkled in the "windows".

Approaching the lake, suddenly we saw an oval moving object in the clouds above the forest behind it. The bottom is more flattened, pinkish-red in color.

The contour is pronounced, outlined in front with a line. The clouds shone the same color around him. it is difficult to say about the magnitude, but about three times the size of the visible full Moon, 1.5 kilometers from us and no higher, I think, than one kilometer, maybe up to two. Moving forward, then back, the phenomenon rushed sharply to the left, then to the right. The meteorologist expressed several versions (weather balloon, ball lightning), but immediately categorically refused everything, adding that he had never seen anything like it in his life. I didn't know what to do, my friends were obviously confused too.

Feeling strange, I shouted, "Hey, what's your name, stop!" and you understand, the subject immediately stopped. Running goosebumps over my body, I added, "Fly here, show yourself closer!" And again the oval obeyed. Picking up speed, no longer rushing around, he sailed through the clouds directly towards us. Cold goosebumps ran all over my body. And suddenly he was caught in a gap between the clouds. I saw the same thing, but without the glow around. Already feeling fear, I shouted once more: "Stop!" And again, the oval immediately stopped and seemed to be expecting something.

"What is it?" - I heard the meteorologist's voice - "guys, it's better to get out of here, God knows what this thing can do!" He, like the rest of us, was terrified.

The oval was still hanging over our heads and seemed to be waiting for something. And I should have shouted, "Don't scare me! You'd better fly back, mind your own business, fly your own way!" And, strangely enough, the glowing object immediately listened again, and seemed to reluctantly fly back, again moving along the same course, sharply rushing around. I probably made a big mistake in my life here. What would happen if I said, "Sit down on the ground, don't touch us, let's get acquainted!"

Suddenly I understood all this. The oval was still flying in the same place. I gathered myself up and shouted again: "Stop!" And again, mysticism. My command was immediately executed. How many coincidences are there? Not happening.  "Come back to us, let's get to know each other!" The oval seemed to change its mind, but again began to float on its course. And as I no longer called, I no longer obeyed the "commands". How long has it been going on? My friends told me to go, not to take it all to heart, and we went. I kept looking around. I looked back once, but there was nothing in that place anymore. But something like a cold white color flashed obliquely upwards. This fact may have seemed to me, I don't know, judge for yourself. You probably have a lot of different stories. It's a pity that I know so little about them. But I would like to.
