Белое море, район маяка Жижгин
Russia

04.15 20.9.77, White Sea, Zhizhgin lighthouse area.

Weather conditions: Night, starry sky, cloudy 2-3 points, clouds are visible on the horizon.

Captain of the 2nd rank-engineer Iznyuk B.I.:

On September 20, 1977, I stood the top watch from 00-00 to 04-00. The sky was not completely clear, but many stars were visible, and several meteorites flew over the watch.

At 04-05 I went downstairs, but at about 04-15 I was called up by the commander. I quickly climbed out onto the bridge. The starry sky, only clouds are visible on the horizon. Directly above us, almost at the zenith, a bright "star" was moving, followed by four rays.

The "star" is the brightest in the sky. After about 7 minutes, this "star" went behind a cloud on the horizon. Following her was the same bright "star", but without rays. When going to the cloud, a white halo lit up in front of her along the way (Figure 2).

The first "star" came out below the cloud with the same rays and went to the horizon behind the clouds. The second one followed.

I watched all this for about 10 minutes.

Senior Lieutenant-engineer Evko A.P.:

At about 04-10 20.9.77 g. I saw a bright moving "star" with rays (as in Figure 1). Four bright luminous dots appeared at the end of one lower beam (in the light zone). At the same time, these "dots" soon moved away from the beam and disappeared, and from the luminous star with rays, a second one separated, the same in brightness and magnitude, but without rays, and, gradually lagging behind, followed the first, slightly higher in the sky.

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.
