At about 4 a.m. on 20 September 1977, the sky over Petrozavodsk in the north-western Soviet Union lit up. An object like a giant star appeared, sent shafts of light toward the ground, and then became a bright hemispherical glow. People in Petrozavodsk, towns around Lake Onega, and Finland saw it. The display lasted roughly ten minutes, long enough for witnesses to call, write, and report it to observation stations.
