This Central Intelligence Agency Information Report, dated October 21, 1958, details an aerial sighting that occurred on the night of July 10, 1958. The witness, traveling by train from Leningrad to Moscow, observed a bright light in the sky near Leningrad. The object was described as being trailed by a long tail of black smoke and was estimated to be between five and fifteen miles distant, flying at an altitude of less than two thousand feet above the ground. When the witness inquired about the object, their guide, identified as Tvalov, suggested that it was likely a flying saucer. The report notes that the guide had been with a party on a previous trip, though it remains unclear if he had prior knowledge of such phenomena.
