Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The machine reminded a railroad carriage. First of all I thought about a helicopter, but when I saw it closer I couldn't see either tail or propellers. Instead, I saw three large (approx. 2 meters in diameter) jet-pipe reminding circles located in the bottom, though no flame was seen, just intense ellowish-white light. The apparatus used powerful head spotlight to investigate or find something in the air. Its speed was slow.

Size of Object(s)

It was 12-15 meters in length, approx. 3 meters across.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was countryside, the machine was flying from the east where an air force base is located (base for fighter interceptors)

Full Description & Details

It was early darkness after twilight, I was going home from school, there was nobody on the street. Not so far from my home, I saw a beam of light in the sky coming westward. I don't know why I decided to stay and see what is it. When it came closer, I saw a prolonged object which was slowly moving forward as if searching for smth. in the sky with a bright focused spotlight. My first idea was that it's a helicopter from nearby (approximately 3 miles from that place) military air base. It was over my head when I finally understood it was something weird (description is below). I can not give detailed description of the machine but what I saw looking upward.

Some time after that evidencing, a Vladivostok newspaper published some materials concerning increased UFO activity in the region. It contained a picture of object very similar with what I have seen. Unfortunately, I didn't save the publication, but may be my evidence is of any value.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Yes, sure, the machine is quite possible to be human-made. As far as it was coming from military air base, I supposed it to be a large helicopter, but it had no evident conventional external control devices (e.g. anti-torque rotor, control fins). Moreover, the sound of its engine was not like sound of propeller, but like obtuse roar of jet-propulsion engine.
