Krasnovodsk 1985: Later Account of an Unusual Radar Detection
A later-published account attributed to the KGB's so-called “Blue Folder” describes an unusual 1985 radar incident near Krasnovodsk on the Caspian Sea: a very large, initially stationary object reportedly released a smaller object.
Background
The reported account
According to a later secondary account, a radar station near Krasnovodsk tracked an object above 60,000 feet. Captain L. Valuev reportedly estimated its length at roughly one kilometre. A smaller object, said to measure about 15 to 20 feet, then separated from the stationary target and landed at the port of Krasnovodsk.
Patrol boats reportedly pursued the smaller object. The account describes five cycles in which it took off and landed again. It then climbed, rejoined the larger radar target, and both disappeared.
Context
The extraordinary size, movement and radar details derive from a later account attributed to the KGB's “Blue Folder.” No page-specific primary document is publicly accessible. The case should therefore be read as a reported incident rather than an independently verified series of measurements.
