Green rings appeared near Sary Shagan

This is a CIA intelligence information report about the Sary Shagan weapons testing range in the USSR. It records a source who saw an unidentified bright green circular object that expanded into concentric circles one evening in late summer 1973. The value of the file is that it shows how this kind of sighting was written down and moved through official channels. It should be read for what was actually recorded, not for what people hope it means.
