"Teams of officers on duty at the defense headquarters of Kazakhstan observed for 100 minutes an unidentified flying object over the capital (city) of Alma Ata on Wednesday morning (July 24), and the chief, Anatoly Dobrynin, told TASS it looked like 'a steel- colored rhomb.'"

"The UFO was visually spotted at 04:55 (a.m.) hours local time Tuesday (July 23) in the eastern section of the city, Colonel Dobrynin said. The UFO was periodically transmitting a thin green ray (beam) to the earth, and dim red and yellow lights were occasionally going on and out (off). The object did not change its shape or form and flew through the air until it disappeared completely at 06:35 (a.m.) hours local time, Dobrynin said."

"Radars did not register the UFO, and the officers on duty did not order interceptor jets into the sky. They said they saw no reason for that and limited themselves to a report to their supervisor. Konstantin Katayev, a spokesman for the Emergencies Committee confirmed this week that information had been received from the military."

"Early in July, motorists saw a red-blue ball hovering in the outskirts of Alma Ata. The witnesses were returning to the city from the countryside, and their car engines died when the UFO flew over the road. Witnesses said they 'felt strong fear for several minutes.'"
