“The object looked like a glowing orb, very well visible, maybe ten times lighter than the brightest star at that moment. Color constantly changed: white, yellow, light red, orange, again white, and so on. It appeared from nowhere, unexpectedly. It was attracting attention on purpose,” Jurjevic recalled.
“I only just stabilized the flight somewhere over Cetinje, when suddenly the object flashed over Budva, and Lieutenant Machec saw it above Niksic. I ordered Machec to stay in place, and took a course parallel to the Adriatic coast, where I tried to establish at what distance the object was: it turned out that it was at about ten kilometers,” the ex commander said.
“However, it did not allow me to get any closer to it. I reduced the speed — the distance was the same. I increased the speed – it was still the same ten kilometers,” Jurjevic recalled the astonishing chase.
The radar on the Prevlaka peninsula did not "see" the object, however, when two supersonic Soviet MiG-21s arrived from Belgrade, Yugoslav radars managed to record the “strange guest.”

It is characteristic, Jurjevic continues, that the object always appeared 50 minutes from the beginning of the summer. The command of the regiment moved the flight time of the aircraft, but the object appeared at the same time - 50 minutes after the plane's takeoff.
For the first time, Jurjevic flew to intercept the facility on January 25th. Exactly fifty minutes after dark, the building appeared in the Cetinje area. When Jurjevic went towards him, the building moved towards Budva and disappeared. For days, there were "ghosts" between pilots 172 and the UFO. He wrote daily reports to the Aviation Command in Belgrade.
One week Jurjevic decided to fly four planes out of the air. The two flew immediately, and two were supposed to fly later in the Budva and Niksic zones, with radio silence. To this step, Jurjevic decided to check that it was not about spy activities, because he suspected that it was possible that flight plan reports might be leaking somewhere.
In the end, Jurjevic ordered his pilots to ignore the object that last appeared on February 12, 1975, over the airport.
"I was about to take off, sat in the cabin, and as I tied up, I glanced in front and headed straight to the airport. At that time there were about 150 people at the airport. All the tunes shook. I look at it and I pretended not to see it because I ordered that we ignore it. The squadron commander jumped on the steps: 'There it is!' I said, I do not see anything. The object goes right above the airport, then never again ".
When they decided to ignore him, the object never appeared again, says Jurjevic.
Personally given the description of the object and its regular occurrence I think they were likely confused by a celestial object rather than a flying object but who knows , maybe it was something else less conventional.

General Zvonimir Jurjevic was head of the 172 Aviation Regiment based in the city of Titograd , Yugoslavia when in 1975 he and his crew experienced several encounters with a bright glowing orb UFO.
“The object looked like a glowing orb, very well visible, maybe ten times lighter than the brightest star at that moment. Color constantly changed: white, yellow, light red, orange, again white, and so on. It appeared from nowhere, unexpectedly. It was attracting attention on purpose,” Jurjevic recalled.
Later that month following further sightings General Jurjevic decided to chase after the object.
“I only just stabilized the flight somewhere over Cetinje, when suddenly the object flashed over Budva, and Lieutenant Machec saw it above Niksic. I ordered Machec to stay in place, and took a course parallel to the Adriatic coast, where I tried to establish at what distance the object was: it turned out that it was at about ten kilometers,” the ex commander said.
