About the fragment of a space object found with his own hand, which does not fit into earthly ideas and at the same time has healing power, is told not by an ufologist, but by a rocket engineer of the Vympel design bureau, a mathematician, candidate of technical sciences and at the same time a writer and student of the famous science fiction writer Arkady Strugatsky - Sergei Sukhinov … He shares with our readers details about his unique find - the wreckage of an alien spaceship.
- You, the author of 45 books, laureate of the Russian government's cultural prize, live in the places where Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev's dacha was?
Yes, Petrovo-Dalnee. I've seen him many times. He came to us. Mechnikov village. His dacha was two kilometers away from me. And by the way, two kilometers from the crash site of the probe that I found.
- In general, very surprising, Sergei Stefanovich. You are a writer, that is, a person who can perfectly summarize what happened. Plus, you're a rocket engineer, that is, a techie. And suddenly, in the area where you live, some cosmic body suddenly falls. Is this a coincidence or a sign from above?
I am an expert in practical probability theory in mathematics. I was engaged in a rocket design bureau researching efficiency
- combat action of air-to-air missiles,
- aviation complexes
- etc,
that is, I understand the difference between random and natural events. And at some point, I began to think that my life was developing in a very strange way when I started doing my Ph. D. thesis.
Wreckage for the mathematician
Promotional video:
It would seem that I am a mathematician and should do a dissertation of a mathematical nature. Instead, I suddenly started researching missile destruction. When the warheads explode, a lot of debris is formed from the rocket body itself, and they hit air targets even better than regular warhead debris. This idea came to me. I often visited the training grounds, saw the targets fall. I thought it would be nice to conduct experiments to determine how they collapse into debris. And he conducted a whole series of such explosions, including a rocket track. Studied thousands of debris and fragments of these missiles. They collected them in a structure, and then solved the most difficult problem, where did this fragment come from? This was my dissertation. The first in the country in 1984. And I defended it in my native Moscow Aviation Institute.
Hurricane eye
And then, probably, another mystical event happened in my life. In the same 1984, June 8, I decided to go for mushrooms. Not far from me there is a beautiful forest tract Tkachikha. Nearby, by the way, Eldar Ryazanov was filming his "Hussar Ballad", and I saw this shooting in 1961, when I arrived here. And there I quite unexpectedly got into a hurricane.
And at some point, when I was already saying goodbye to life, the sky suddenly cleared. The hurricane's eye opened. Suddenly I saw how in a movie: some fireball flies in the clear sky, explodes, debris, fragments fall, and I find myself at the bottom of a huge crater that was formed from this explosion. That's how I saw it. Such a vision occurs in such situations. There was a very strong magnetic field, my hair was already standing on end. As they say, contact with the sky happens at such moments. I believed that a large car exploded there. Immediately I went to the mineralogical museum in the Moscow region, began to research the history of meteorites and found out that no one had ever found fireballs.
Molten stone
I started looking. I searched for a long time. Until 1995, I could not find anything in the swamp. One peat, no stones. And suddenly in 1995 in the fall, there was no longer any grass, it withered, suddenly I saw on the dump, there was such a rampart, a trench three meters deep, and now the first stone appeared on it. I saw this stone. He stuck out so lightly. No man in life would dig it up. Nobody needed it, but I was looking for stones, so I got it. He turned and gasped.
It's hard to see here, but great in my photos. And I realized that it could not be a meteorite, because there iron is present only in molten form, and this is an iron plaque. A lot of them. But I saw a flat piece. See, a flat piece. That is, it is not a meteorite, it is a piece of a bolide, most likely.
- Was a chemical analysis carried out? Is there a conclusion?
- The conclusion is that this is neither a stone meteorite nor an iron-stone meteorite. This is something else. Of course, there was a moment when I went to Kosygin Street, then there was a commission on meteorites, it was 1995. They wanted to take this stone away, because it is unusual, but something stopped me. I did not give this stone away, hid it in my basement and decided that for the time being, let it lie with me. Then I didn't have a normal computer, I didn't have a digital camera. I could not study it properly. But I had the feeling that this was something unusual.
Healing that can't be
Many years later. I once got diabetes. My eyesight deteriorated sharply. It was 2007. Eyesight dropped rapidly. I was writing another book, I could hardly see the screen, I could hardly see the letters. And purely instinctively - this stone was stored in the basement of my house - I brought it, put it in front of the monitor. And two weeks later I was on my way to Moscow, reading a book in a minibus. My attending physician Valentina Nikolaevna sat down beside me, saw me without glasses and was horrified: "Sergei Stefanovich, where are your glasses?" I say, "I threw them out." - "But how, vision is not restored in such cases?" Here I have it restored.
