This FBIS translation of an article published in the Moscow newspaper TRUD on 30 January 1985 reports a UFO sighting by the crew of Aeroflot Tu-134 Flight 8352, commanded by Igor Cherkashin, about 120 kilometers from Minsk. The crew saw a light beam, then a green cloud that paced the aircraft to Tallin. Minsk controllers, a Leningrad crew and the Tallin radar also saw or tracked it. N. Zheltukhin of the Commission on Aerodynamic Phenomena concluded that the crew had dealt with a UFO.

'C00174708 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." 8936 CSO: 8144/0029 , ~.
