They couldn't call it capitalism,  but spinning a good old fashioned conspiracy complete with lights in the sky and even  LGM certainly supllemented the retirement pension, yes?

The glasnost tabloids discovered that mysteries sell better than meteorology

While the 'Bad weather" theory proponents hint that Lev Ivanov raised money by distributing his fantasies in tabloids, we may return to the topic of this thread and look at the Sheets 378-380 from the case files. We can see that prosecutor from the town of Novaya-Lyalya interrogared Mr.Skorykh, who said the following:

"I ran out onto the porch, and from the second floor of the house I live in, I saw a large, glowing ball moving northward and flashing red and green lights in turn. The ball was moving very quickly, and I only had a few seconds to observe it before it disappeared over the horizon."

The first question we might ask is: why did the prosecutor of Novaya-Lyalya decide to interrogate a witness about "glowing ball"? Novaya-Lyalya is a different region, which is nothing to do with the Ivdel region. The only reasonable answer is that the prosecutor received an investigative order from Sverdlovsk, highly likely from Ivanov. This clearly indicates that already in 1959 Ivanov was actively looking for fireballs evidence. In 1990-s he just revived this line of investigation.

Now, we can see that the "glowing ball" was flashing red and green lights, and this rules out a meteor, which would not have used air navigation alarm signals. We end up either with manmade flying object or with aliens ship, which politely switched on navigation lights in the Earth's atmosphere. In both cases we have a proof of certain artificial object flying over the Urals the same month the DPI occurred. As the object remaind unidentified, it gave Ivanov full right to talk about UFOs in 1990-s

Pershin questioning a man in Novaya‑Lyalya doesn’t prove Ivanov ordered anything. It proves Pershin had a pen, a witness, and a circular on his desk.

If Ivanov was ‘actively hunting fireballs’, he forgot to mention it in his own investigation, his own notes, his own conclusion, and every document he actually signed.

Well, it is,certainly kind of the LGM to flash colors we are capable of seeing It would also be kind if Gary Powers kept his  running lights on while thumbing his nose at the bear. I can't help but feel that if Ivanov was fishing for a sensationalistic twist on the DPI, Mr. Skorykh could spin him a yarn or two. I mean these red and green lights each being distinct  and bright enough to be seem crossing a mountain range? I am thinking pin point light sources like twinkling stars. Red and green lights...on wingtips? Rotating single source? Stars? Pulling Ivanov's leg? Lights are not going to send nine people to their deaths, let alone do nothing more than raise an eyebrow. I think I've seen the light.
