A 'jellyfish' UFO topped with changing coloured lights remained suspended above a Russian city for an hour before vanishing during the 1980s.
The bizarre incident features amongst a freshly released collection of Soviet-era files that reveal how authorities in the former USSR discreetly documented and evaluated mysterious aerial phenomena - despite publicly ridiculing visiting extraterrestrial vessels as Western propaganda.
The documentation, translated into English and released by journalist George Knapp, covers approximately 70 pages and compiles accounts from the 1970s and 1980s.
According to Knapp, the archive was smuggled out ofRussiain the early 1990s and has only recently been made broadly available, providing the public with an unusual glimpse into how Soviet organisations catalogued what they termed 'Abnormal Atmospheric Phenomena'.

One of the most remarkable entries is dated February 13, 1989, and outlines a substantial aerial object over Nalchik, in southern Russia. Observers described a 'jellyfish'-like formation that they claimed stayed in the sky for over an hour before disappearing from sight.
Additional reports include a young man describing bright streaks across the heavens followed by an encounter with humanoid beings, reports IBT. Investigators document the accounts and specifics but refrain from confirming what, if anything, the witness actually experienced.
A distinct 1979 incident in Kazakhstan involves campers who reported observing tall, dark figures close to a forested region. Once more, testimonies were uniform - yet no tangible evidence could substantiate anything concrete.
