Near Rostov, after two fishermen vanished, a bright sphere was observed hovering beside the boat. Life reports this account, citing the Telegram channel Shot as the source.
According to that channel, the events unfolded on December 1. Two fishermen were out on Don 1, and they did not come back ashore as planned. The moment of doubt turned to concern as dusk settled, and the river kept its secrets.
It is said that one of the men managed to phone his wife, telling her they were on their way home. Soon after, the line went dead, and no further contact was possible. Family members, alarmed by the silence, searched for them on their own and found only an overturned boat, an oar lying on the opposite bank, and the missing men’s boots a short distance upstream from the vessel.
Footage from cameras at a nearby entertainment complex appears to show a luminous object, ball-shaped and bright, appearing about 14 minutes after the last call to the wife. The boat remained upright, with no fisherman aboard, when the unexplained light hovered near the water’s edge and then faded from view.
Relatives note that the two men had fished this stretch of water for roughly 25 years, a long-standing routine that made the loss especially painful. Emergency services conducted searches of the reservoir’s bottom but did not locate any signs of the missing anglers, suggesting the possibility that they left the immediate area or were swept farther downstream. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities piece together what happened on that day.
Earlier, another incident near Komi involved a boat with six fishermen, three of whom were reported missing, underscoring the dangers and mysteries that can arise on open water. In Rostov, the focus remains on the Don 1 location, where family, responders, and local observers vigilantly await any new developments or official findings that could illuminate this troubling disappearance, while the river quietly keeps its stories hidden in the current.
