Dateline: Alma Ata, July 24.
The team of officers on duty at their defense headquarters of
Kazakhstan observed for 100 minutes an unidentified flying object
/UFO/ over the capital of Alma Ata on Wednesday morning and their
chief, Anatoly Dobrynin, told TASS it lookedlike a steel-coloured
rhomb.
"The UFO was visually spotted at 04:55 hours local time /21:55gm
Tuesday/ in the eastern sector of the sky over Alma Ata", Colonel
Dobrynin said. The UFO was periodically transmitting a thin green ray
to the earth and dim read and yellow lights were occasionally going on
and out on board,according to him.
The object did not change its form, size and place in the air until it
disappeared completely at 06:35 hours local time, Dobrynin said.
Radars have not registered 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 only to a report to the superiors and the
national committee for emergency situations.
Konstantin Katayev, a spokesman of the Emergencies Committee,confirmed
to TASS that such information had been received from the military and
said the "data will be submitted for the most thorough analysis."
He added that air defense services were likely to get strict
recommendations on how to act in such a situation.
This was the second UFO spotted over Alma Ata this month. Early in
July a group of residents said they had seen a red-blue ball-like
object hover the outskirts of the capital. The eye witnesses were
returning to Alma Ata from the countryside and their car engines died
when the UFO flew over the road. The witnesses said they had been
seized with strong fear for several minutes.
