Probably coming from the Russian web, a story says that in Obninsk, Moscow, Russia, on May 1978, in daytime, Timur Pastukhov, an employee at the local experimental meteorology institute, was observing the transmitter mast at some 100-120 meters of him, due to high winds in the area.
At one point he briefly looked into another direction and when he looked back he was surprised to see four human like figures standing near the mast.
Their appearance and conduct struck him. They stood on a high hill under extreme windy conditions. They were also dressed strangely, they wore dark brown raincoats or jackets, their heads were bare and they had short-cropped black hair. All four were very identical and looked to be about 30 years of age.
Another witness now arrived and also saw the mysterious figures, and another engineer watched the strange figures climbing the mast under improbable weather conditions. After a while the four figures "disappeared as mysteriously as they had appeared."

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:
Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Obninsk, Moscow, Russia, on May 1978, in daytime, Timur Pastukhov an employee at the local experimental meteorology institute was observing the transmitter mast due to high winds in the area. The mast was about 100-120 meters away from the witness. At one point he briefly looked into another direction and when he looked back he was surprised to see four human like figures standing near the mast. Their appearance and conduct struck him. They stood on a high hill under extreme windy conditions. They were also dressed strangely, they wore dark brown raincoats or jackets, their heads were bare and they had short-cropped black hair. All four were very identical and looked to be about 30 years of age. Another witness now arrived and also saw the mysterious figures another engineer watched the strange figures climbing the mast under improbable weather conditions. After awhile the 4 figures disappeared as mysteriously as they had appeared.
Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "UFOZONE Russia."
There is no UFO, the four figures are dressed like men, described to be like men. The only apparent strangeness in the story is the impression it creates that they "appeared" and "disappeared"; however, the witness was looking away when they "appeared" so they probably just came, and "disappeared" is an ambiguous term that could mean that they just went down the other side of the hill they stood on, "disappearing" from view when doing so.
The story has no clear origin, maybe some reader's email to a website, I see is no reason to believe it was investigated at all.
