… The guest of the editorial office, a man of about 50, with an obvious officer bearing, first apologized for “probably a ridiculous reason for a visit”, and then assured that he was actually a man of sober views on things, in many ways, as he put it, “through the looking glass nonsense »Does not believe, however …
Here's what his story looked like outside the "however" brackets. At the very beginning of February, he early went to Golubaya Bay, where he swims at any time of the year. At about seven o'clock in the morning, Georgy Zakharovich wiped himself dry with a towel and was about to get dressed to go to his Mercedes, when something unimaginable happened. Not further than ten meters away from him, literally in an instant, a swirling wave boiled, and from under the water flew out something that looked like an orange ball about 1.5 meters in size diagonally.
Tellingly, our narrator managed to notice on the surface of this mysterious sphere three rectangular windows, glowing with bluish lights.
The ball soared into the sky, leaving a silvery contrail, and … disappeared into the clouds.
What was it? The guest of the editorial office tried to find out my opinion, not quite confidently assuming that it was a UFO. "Although, to be honest," he said, "I have little faith in these unknown flying objects of extra-planetary origin."
We offered Georgy Zakharovich to publish his story in the newspaper under the heading "Do you believe …", and he agreed.

From the editor
Recently, many leading ufologists have come to the conclusion that UFOs are not associated with aliens from outer space, but are a purely terrestrial phenomenon that has been observed by people throughout human history. According to one hypothesis, UFOs may be time machines on which our distant descendants visit the past (that is, our time) for research purposes, and possibly with tourist tours.
If so, then many of the oddities accompanying the phenomenon become understandable. Firstly, this is the lack of desire for contact and the position of non-interference in earthly affairs occupied by the UFO. Perhaps some kind of interference is still taking place, but it is certainly safe or favorable for the future.
Secondly, if the contact did occur, an explanation is given for a certain impudence that UFO pilots show when making contacts and collecting materials for their research: they are not guests on this planet, and our stupidity in terms of ecology and squandering of earthly resources will surely give them a lot of trouble. in future.
Thirdly, from the standpoint of this hypothesis, it becomes clear the presence of the phenomenon throughout the history of mankind (descendants study their past) and certain metamorphoses of UFOs, which, with their appearance and the appearance of pilots, almost always corresponded to the ideas of people of a certain time: at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries these were airships, in the middle of the 20th century, planes and rockets, and now, spaceships of aliens. Perhaps once guests from the future took the form of elves and gnomes, and now they can even mow like a Bigfoot.
Fourthly, time machines must necessarily be flying machines, because when you travel back in time from a flat area on the ground, you risk not knowing that 500 years ago there was an uncle's pigsty in this place. Therefore, it is better to start time travel above the ground: the higher, the safer. This is exactly what UFOs do.
