Description
This episode unpacks the September 1977 Petrozavodsk phenomenon—glowing jellyfish‑like lights over Lake Onega, the launch of Kosmos‑955, and a Soviet investigation that spanned intelligence agencies, scientific teams, and public speculation. We examine eyewitness accounts, radar data gaps, meteorological conditions, laser experiments, and the political climate to tease out what might have produced these eerie lights—and why the mystery endures.
