9 august 2003. 20:41 Moscow time (not sure photocamera clock was correct though).Event take place atUkrain, half-island Krimea, town Koktebel (dont know English spelling).http://maps.google.ru/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=ru&geocode=&q=koktebel&sll=44.960911,35.237961&sspn=0.171024,0.308304&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C,+%D0%90%D0%B2%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F+P%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BF%D1%83%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0+%D0%9A%D1%80%D1%8B%D0%BC,+%D0%A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0&ll=44.960911,35.239334&spn=0.171024,0.308304&z=12 I was on holyday at popular spa "Koktebel", went to balcony of my room and saw this object fly over town. It was evening, dusk, lot of lights in town this time (bad for photoset). But the One in the sky was very bright, like a star but much brighter. It fly like an airplane, but cant see it altitude. No sound and dint saw no allusion of fuselage. No standard airplane of helycopter signal lights. Anyway object light was to bright for any aircaft that usualy fly this area. Its long ago when i saw this object, so I cant remember many things but looking my video I hear my comments on what I saw. I told there that this object appear third time when I took camera to shot it. If I remember well, it lost its brightes to zero twice before I took camera. All watch continue about 5-10 minutes, maybe less. Object fly from seaside to the middle of half-island direction most of watch time. Most interesting, that object change its flight direction some time. And did it very fast, about 60-90 degree in 2-3 seconds. For my point of view, with speed this object moved and agile this object changed direction it cant be nor airplane nor helycopter. I used digital photocamera Canon S45, and light was on in room, so camera shot very badly due to part of balcon was in frame. To the human eyes there were much brighter on the street at that time.Here is sound transcription of video."So... 'Something' is fly. Appeared for third time. Beautiful flight. What is it - I dont know. Cant see it well (now). If there will be time, I will go and turn the room lights off. Almost lost it sight (now). Not brighter then a star... but still visible. Changing course. So... I lost it. Will turn light off now and continue..."I didnt saw it again, so didnt make new shots.
