Hello. I happened to be an eyewitness to an unusual phenomenon. On the Kopylovo peninsula in Togliatti there is a wonderful corner with a beach opposite the Zhiguli mountains. I am a frequent visitor there in the summer, since my summer cottage is located a few hundred meters away. Nothing special. The usual six acres.
So here I lie, sunbathe and looking into the sky I think how interesting it would be if some UFO flew by in front of everyone's eyes. I also have my camera at hand.
And then I see an absolutely white ball falling from the sky. He only seemed small, because it was more than a kilometer away. I do not know exactly what is the distance in this place from Kopylovo to Zhiguli mountains
The ball sank closer to the opposite bank. While he was descending, I hastily turned on the camera and missed the moment when he sat down on the water. At that moment I lost sight of him and took a picture of the alleged splashdown site with the maximum optical zoom. At home I looked better with an even higher magnification.
What it is? A white ball on a wave from which a kind of violet radiation emanates from the side.
It happened at the end of July 2016. Around 5 pm. The ball fell from the sky not vertically down, but at an angle of 70 degrees.
From west to east along the Volga. In the photo, the opposite shore is very close, but this is due to the zoom of 26 × or so.
I have another strange picture. I was sitting on the street near a barrel where firewood was burning, and my wife took a picture of me. There was a ball behind my back.
