Odessa. Telegram to the editorial office of the newspaper "Evening Odessa":

Scientific research vessel weather Viktor Bugaev, located in the Atlantic Ocean

Latitude 35.59 north longitude 10.18 west and following a course of 270 speed of 13 knots, hydrometeorological navigation conditions are favorable.

On September 21 of this year 1800 gmt, senior engineer Malushin and the head of the Kistanov detachment, while on the deck of the aft part of the zpt vessel, noticed a flying object or apparatus somewhat unusual in shape. The bow glowed with a large sheaf of fire, occupying almost half the length of the hull. The fiery sheaf gave the impression of light directed at the stern of the ship.

The device resembled the shape of a cone-shaped cigar and moved at low speed from southwest to northeast, crossing the diametrical plane of the vessel near the stern. After flying some distance, the device swung slightly and hung motionless, occasionally making light rocking, or rather rotational movements. Then exactly the same device separated from this device, the device did not differ in size from the first and the bow of which threw out a fiery sheaf of light, and then quickly gaining speed disappeared in a north-westerly direction.

The first device, while still in a suspended state, removed the fiery sheaf of light and assumed the color of aluminum. the pale matte (or light milky) began to move in a northeasterly direction, increasing speed, the clear boundaries of the hull, observed for about 2 minutes, began to slightly blur or blur as it was removed. A dark stripe ran almost strictly in the middle of both devices, occupying about 1/6 of the length of the body. The height at which both devices were located was approximately 3-4 kilometers. There was no dash of any sound and the absence of an inversion or any other trace, visibility was good. Another 20 crew members saw the flying object during this period.

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.
