On January 1, 2015, at night in the Samara region, an unidentified flying object was again observed. Several people saw him over Zhigulevskoe at two o'clock in the morning. An eyewitness letter with a request to respond to other witnesses of the unusual phenomenon, published on the page of the Samara regional branch of the all-Russian scientific research public association "KOSMOPOISK":
“I did not celebrate the New Year, I went to work in the morning, but at 01.01.15 at night I saw a UFO at 1.47 Samara time, 0.47 Moscow time. At first I thought about fireworks, I'm watching, waiting for it to explode. It's quiet in our center, only pensioners, petards and fireworks are not burning, not a youth area. And it flies low, noiselessly, went out onto the balcony. A bright yellow ball flies, yellower than the moon. The moon was large, almost full, so this ball was yellower and brighter, 1/6 of the moon in size. Behind it there are 2 thin lines of light. Not a comet's tail, but 2 thin even stripes.
We moved as a whole. The sky was black, outlines were not visible, only light. If the helicopter, then there was no sound at all, and more than the plane every 20. The object flew from Togliatti to Zhigulevsk, then changed course, flew from south to north, into the mountains, towards the dam of the hydroelectric power station … In the morning the taxi driver said that he had also been witness. He flew low, below the moon, watched for 1.5 minutes. There was nothing to take pictures. Here's a drawing, unfortunately I can't draw."
Recall that the area of the Zhiguli Mountains is a frequent place for observing UFOs, strange mirages, mysterious dwarfs and other anomalies. This place is considered by ufologists to be a powerful anomalous zone. According to the stories of local residents, over the Gremyachye tract to this day, you can sometimes see strange fireballs of about two meters in diameter and with a tail, which can turn into people.
