many thousands of kilometers away, a global atmospheric or geophysical process
of a type still unknown to science is taking plaoe. But it seemed to the
aviators only that it was somewhere close by--a tYPical optical illusion, so
to speak.
"But in the tinal analysis this explanation proved to be untenable. Atter
all, the aviators suoceeded in determ1n1ngthe distance to the object.
"For this reason, there is only one conclusion that may be drawn: the Tallin
crew dealt with what we call a UFO. The tact that we now have a consistent
and detailed picture ot the transtormation ot an UD1dentitied flying object is
especially important. G. Lazurin's drawings also provide it with word
descriptions.
"We are again requesting the reader.s of TRUD to report all similar sightings
to this address: 101000, Moscow, Glavpochtamt [Main Post Ott1ce], Box 764, the
Commission on Aerodynamic Phenomena."
