8. Captain V. Ivchenko: "I could not make out the contours of the
obj ec t , bu t I clearly saw two lights flashing wi th a defini te
periodicity. The illumination from these lights could be compared
with a photoflash. The UPO was carrying out an 'S-turn' flight,
gradually approaching our city; its route passed from east to west at
an angle of sight of approximately 75 degrees relative to the town.
I distinguished two aircraft near the object. I am enclosing the
approximate route of the UPO."
9. Captain N. Pilatov: "To all visual perceptions, the object was
rotating in a horizonal plane around its own axis, since the light
sources merged and divided in turn. The magnitudes of the sources of
intensity with respect to power, intensity, and luminous flux were
significantly greater than for signal lights of the aircraft which
were flying around in our region at that time. The lights of the 010
flashed every 2-3 seconds. The object was located in the direction of
Zagorsk. The trajectory of its movement was an 'S-turn,'
horizontally and vertically."
10. Captain I. Lapin: "At 2200, the flashing lights of the object
vanished for 5 minutes, then a sharp light flared up. An entire
cloud was illuminated and, after that, the object appeared again •.
Two aircraft accompanied it, with red identification lights. After
dropping in altitude, the object flew away at great speed in the
direction of Moscow. It left a red luminescence of averaje intensity
behind in the clouds. I observed the object until 2240. I
experienced no sensation whatsoever."
11. A photograph with the following caption is included with the
report: "In the picture--the "saucer" (paired points to the left) and
an aircraft approaching them (the two lights to the right),
photographed from a distance of 40 kilometers. Exposure was 4-5
seconds and, consequently, the flashing lights appeared on the film
several times, corresponding to the progression of the 010." It is
noted that the contours of the 010 and the aircraft cannot be
determined from the picture because the outlines are obscured by the
bright lights.
12. The report ends with the following comments by Colonel General
Maltsev: "I am not a specialist on UFOs and, therefore, I can only
correlate the data and express my own belief. According to the
evidence of these eyewitnesses, the 010 represented itself as a disk
with a diameter of 100-200 meters. Two pulsating lights were
positioned on its sides. Vben the object flew in a horizontal plane,
the line of lights was parallel to the horizon. During vertical
movement, it rotated and the line was perpendicular to the ground.
Moreover, the object rotated around its axis and performed an .
