Saturday, August 15th, mid-day: Peasants from the village of Robozero (in the county of Bolozero, Russia), among them Levka Pedorov, are in the church when they hear a loud noise in the sky. They leave the church to see what is happening, and see a flaming ball descending from the clear blue sky of the South. The object passes over the church and goes towards the nearby lake of Bieloziero. It measures 40 or 45 m in diameter, and 2 jets of "fire" come out of its front. After that the object leaves from the South towards the West (500 m from Pedorov), then "disappears". It reappears 1 hour later, above the same lake, which it flies over for 1 hour and 30 minutes. A fishing company on a boat on the lake 1 mile from Pedorov is painfully burned by the light of the "ball", which is so bright that one can see the bottom of the lake at a depth of 8 or 9 m, which allows to see the fish moving away. The water seems covered in rust under the glow.
