Sergey Dmitrievich Litvienko writes to the Commission on AI:

Hello! Sergey Litvinenko, a friend of yours from the first letter, is writing to you. I changed my place of residence recently. And I inform you that yesterday, i.e. on July 23, I saw a satellite against the background of the evening sky. He flew towards the east and, moving away, disappeared into the clouds.

After a few minutes, the satellite began to approach

a dot, it appeared in the form of a cloud. Then one dot, the cloud disappeared.

She flew faster than the satellite, and suddenly threw out a fiery tail and immediately a smoke streak, like an airplane, and disappeared there too, behind a cloud. The clouds were because the rain was coming. And it was impossible to see what happened next. But the plume of smoke was visible for a long time, until it disappeared completely.

It was bright outside, as if from the northern lights.

I think it's a separated launch vehicle stage; or maybe not, I don't know. But what I saw, I drew.

Its direction was, in my image, towards the city of Stone on the Ob, located exactly in the direction in which the satellite was flying. And you know how it flies without me. Well, have a nice day. Goodbye.

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.
