Green circular object at Sary Shagan, Summer 1973
A Soviet citizen observed a bright green circular object in the sky west of Site 7 at Sary Shagan that formed concentric circles within seconds before fading, with no associated sound.
“On one evening in late Summer 1973, Source observed an unidentified phenomenon at Site 7. While watching a sport competition between Canada and the. USSR on television, he stepped outside for some air and observed an unidentified sharp (bright) green circular object or mass in the sky. The object was situated west of the site at-an angle of sighting of approximately 70 degrees. The altitude of the object was undeterminable. (Field Comment: Although there were no clouds in the sky that evening, Source believed that the green mass would have been higher than cloud level. Source could not estimate the diameter of the object.) Within 10 to 15 seconds of observation, the green circle widened and within a brief period of time several green concentric circles formed around the mass. Within minutes the coloring disappeared. There was no sound, such as an explosion, associated with the phenomenon.”
