A research abstract describing the January 29, 1986 luminous-object report near Dalnegorsk, Primorsky Krai. The authors summarize witness descriptions of a bright self-luminous sphere, its reported descent toward a hillside, a fire or glow lasting approximately an hour, and the subsequent examination of a roughly 2-by-2-metre area. This is an important source for the investigators' account, but the reported observations and interpretation should be distinguished from independently verified conclusions about the object's origin.
