Rogatina I. V. and her 11-year old daughter named Lena and 2 other boys, Dima and Zhenya reported seeing a saucer-shaped UFO hovering above some nearby power lines for about 10 minutes and then fly over the Volga River. The object passed to within 60-100 meters of the witnesses. Lena said that it had been a beautiful sight; the UFO was rotating and emanated green and red lights. The object had a transparent cupola on top which appeared to be made out of glass. The glass like dome was joined to metallic plates on the body of the craft by what appeared to be bolts. Dima said that the bolt's heads were round. Because of the transparency of the dome the witnesses were able to see several instruments inside, a control panel, a chair near the panel and two "shadows" that appeared to be doing something near the control panel, they also saw a "face" looking out the window. The children became afraid of the face and after jumping down from an apple tree ran home. The UFO then gained altitude and ascended towards the nearby hydroelectric power station where it vanished from sight. The UFO was estimated to have been the size of a helicopter.
