"Kazan-Kosmopoisk" together with the branch in Mari El published a brochure about what UFOs have been seen by Tatarstan people from 1966 to the present day. "AiF-Kazan" publishes the most interesting eyewitness reports about unidentified flying objects in the sky over the republic.
Fire shock
“I was 14 years old when on August 20, 1966, I was driving through the field from the village of Kaibitskaya, Zelenodolsk District, to the Kulanskaya railway station. I drove from my grandmother at about 4 in the morning. I saw that a bright fiery object similar to a shock of straw was flying over the field in his direction at an altitude of 30-40 meters. The distance to me was about 800 meters. I was very scared, literally my hair stood on end, got on the bike and left as quickly as possible. The object flew silently and slowly. What happened to him later, I don't know. Vladimir Sergeevich, born in 1952
"Airship" over the Kama
“It was 1980 or 1982. On a winter night on the Kama River, between Nizhnekamsk and Naberezhnye Chelny, 200-300 people were fishing on the ice. First, there was a flash of light that illuminated everything around. It became as light as day, very bright. The men, educated people, decided that a nuclear war had begun, and as they were taught, they fell on the ice with their feet towards the light source …
Several minutes passed, people began to get up and saw the object itself, resembling a very large airship in shape - about 1 km in length. It was he who emitted that bright light, the rays beat from its bottom in beams.

It is interesting that when the object flew away, ice cracked on the Kama, a huge ice floe broke off, on which there were 10 fishermen. Therefore, a rescue operation was organized that night. Vadim N., grandson of an eyewitness fisherman who sailed away on an ice floe.
Flying saucer over Chelny
“In the year 1983-1984 in winter, my classmates and I walked around our district of Naberezhnye Chelny. We go and see - several dozen people are standing with their heads thrown back. We approached them, also looked up and were stunned. Above us, covering half the sky, a huge "flying saucer" hung silently. The time was about 8 pm. But although it was dark outside, the object was seen very clearly, as if it was illuminated from outside.
We stood on a flat area from under a burnt-out store. The first thought was: if this colossus falls to the ground, then it will flatten us all, because we are standing right under it. Nearby was a 12-storey building, from which I roughly estimated the height of the "plate" - it hung silently at the level of the tenth floor and did not move. The second thought that arose in me: if such a ship rests on something, then why do we, being under it, feel no power.
By the way, after half an hour contemplating the huge "plate" became boring: nothing happened, there were no sounds. So we left. At that time there were no cameras or mobile phones, so we could not photograph UFOs. " Anonymous
UFO on the roof of the store
“In the 1990s, a KAMAZ store was under construction in the area of the 51st complex of Naberezhnye Chelny. One day, a five-year-old boy I knew told me that on a dark winter evening a disc had landed on the roof of this store, flashing "landing lights." Then, I must confess, I did not really believe the story of the child …
UFO in Yekaterinovka. An eyewitness filmed nature. Says no flash. Some flying object is visible on the left.
But a few years later I asked my friend about this, who had lived all his life in the 51st complex. He said: “Yes, that really happened around 1992-1993. It was dusk and we were skiing. When they saw the disc, they immediately rushed home. A gray object is hovering at a height of 10-15 m above a 5-storey building.
It was shaped like a saucer or flattened ball. It took about 5 entrances in width. Lights burned on it, chaotically shimmering with rainbow colors. The object hung in the air for a short time, for about 30 seconds, after which it abruptly left the field of view. We did not tell anyone about this, but the next day we saw many firefighters and policemen at the construction site. Without a signature
About UFO by radio
“In 1996, driving along Belomorskaya Street in Kazan, the first private security crew noticed a“lantern”(a bright ray of light from the sky), which was flying from the side of the Gorkovskoye Highway at that moment, and reported to the second crew on the radio:“The UFO is moving in your side. " Earlier it was noticed that an unidentified flying object appeared from the side of Vosstaniya Street, then passed over the factories "Orgsintez", "Tatkhimfarmpreparaty" and froze in the air near the village. Northern.
Indeed, the 2nd crew, in which the witness was, soon noticed this "lantern". People got out of the car, began to whistle, flash a flashlight. The UFO froze, and then the beam of light began to recede, and the smoke ring moved aside. It was calm, no sounds were heard. " Anonymous
Beams beyond the river
“In late August - early September 1997, a group of vacationers settled down on the right, high bank of the Sviyaga. There is a good view of the opposite bank from there. The time was about 10 pm and it got dark enough when 11 people witnessed the vertical take-off of a large, spherical object, about 300 m in diameter, either because of Sviyaga, or from the river itself.
The distance to it was about 5 km. First, he climbed up to a certain height. Most of all we were amazed that 8 luminous rays emanated from it, a bluish-greenish cold shade. Then he began to move horizontally, and the rays of light first bent, and then "fell away", dissolving into the air. The UFO flew away in the direction of Zelenodolsk, leaving shocked eyewitnesses who did not utter a word for five minutes of this action.
About two hours later, around midnight, when emotions subsided a little, the object returned, accompanied by barking dogs and excitement of animals in the neighboring village. Beams emanated from him again, and he moved towards the witnesses, of which there were more. People were horrified to see that the UFO was "interested" in them, but he still flew away. " Vyacheslav, eyewitness, physicist by education.
Flight of the "three-star"
“On August 21, 2008 at about 21.00 on the Gorkovskoe highway near house No. 8 in Kazan, I had the good fortune to observe an unidentified flying object of a triangular shape, bright as xenon car headlights. Offhand size no more than 1 meter, the light is bright white, with a blue tint. Before my eyes, he made his way over the football field. He quickly flew 6-8 meters strictly horizontally from west to east at an altitude of about 30 meters, that is, higher than the adjacent "Khrushchev". The movement was accompanied by either hiss or rustling. At the same time, there was an incomprehensible lull all around.
Residents of the upper floor of a nearby house said that 15-20 minutes before the object appeared, cool and fresh air began to flow into their apartment from the windows and from the balcony, which is strange, because the temperature outside was 25 degrees. A cursory inspection of the site over which the object had proceeded revealed nothing unusual. He left no trace or smell of pyrotechnics. Resident of the Kirovsky district of Kazan.
Swept by a blizzard
“On December 28, 2012, I had a lot to do, and I left the office in the Admiralty Sloboda of Kazan only at 0.45. Suddenly I heard something like a noise, or a hum, or a whistle. In perplexity, he listened, trying to understand where the sound came from. Intuitively I looked at the sky and after a few seconds I saw an object moving rapidly through the air. Rather, the vague outline of a triangle.
UFO in Kirovsky district of Kazan: a flight of a bright orange object was filmed by a Cosmopoisk employee
The object itself was extremely difficult to see, as there was a strong blizzard. At first I could not understand what shape he was, because in front of him two powerful warm white spotlights were shining, and a small but dazzling blue and white lantern blinked on the right. Soon, through a blizzard, I saw from the other side another similar object - bright and blinking. It was located mirrored to the first.
It was then that I realized that they look like a triangle. This miracle flew from north to south towards the Volga at an altitude of about 200 meters. But what struck was the speed: guess how long I watched it? 15 seconds! And during this time, judging by the map, he flew about 2-3 km. It turns out that he flew at a speed of 500-700 km / h. Moreover, not a single air corridor passes near my office in this direction: I have been photographing it for more than a year and constantly watch the sky from the window. Not a single aircraft has ever flown along this trajectory!
As far as I can imagine, the ship was 10-15 meters in size. I was confused by the presence of a drone, because UFOs fly silently. Perhaps I just heard the whistle of the air being cut by the ship. Eyewitness
Atypical ball
“In July 2013, in Dolgaya Polyana, Tetyushsky district, I happened to see a rather atypical UFO. I have not heard descriptions of such objects. It was a dark brown (chocolate color with a transition to black) ball, about 1-2 meters in diameter, which flew silently and quickly at a height of no more than 30 meters. The speed was 100-120 km / h. He flew along a straight line parallel to the Volga bank. As if the car had passed. Vadim M.
