At 2 o'clock. 10 min. the AMST received a call from the Migalov airfield and reported that a little earlier they had observed a moving luminous dot that flew east, then west and disappeared into a cloud.

Upon observation, this cloud was detected to the north of the MS. It glowed with a golden pink light. Under the cloud, closer to the ground, a crimson cumulus-shaped shaft, like a cumulus cloud, was visible.

For 2-2.5 hours, the cloud did not shift, remaining inactive, spread out, as a result, it was clearly visible that distinct spiral-shaped traces appeared.

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.
