Jim Montanus, stood on a dock at Braddock Bay Marina at night, taking long-exposure photographs of a clear dark-blue sky, filled with twinkling stars that was being engulfed by a dense mass of clouds, from the west. He was stunned to see something that hadn't been visible to the naked eye, when he checked the preview window on his digital SLR, to see how the images looked, Two orange objects, one shaped like an inverted cone, and the other like a disc with a conical top. Most people who have commented on the images, believe they depict meteors. However, the phenomenon is not modern enough to be explained in this manner. According to the Soviet Secrets episode, of Netflix's Top-Secret UFO Projects: Declassified docuseries, the Petrozavodsk phenomenon occurred on September 20, 1977, when sightings of a huge, jellyfish-shaped object in the sky were reported by people in Russia and Finland. Montanus, on the other hand, is skeptical. “ said, it didn't appear to be a meteor. A meteor would appear as a stream of light on the camera. These were strange shapes. 'Look at it, there's a parachute or something on it,' he said. That, if anything, looked like a UFO.“ Montanus does not believe the objects were caused by his camera or long exposure, but he is still investigating that possibility.
