Traditionally we refer to UFOs as “flying saucers”. However, this is at least unfair: only a small part of the objects are in the form of "inverted plates". There are dozens, if not hundreds, of their varieties, sometimes very strange and bizarre. The imagination of earthlings at the end of the twentieth century was struck by the so-called "Belgian triangles".
On November 29, 1989, eyewitnesses called the police station in the Belgian town of Eupen, observing the "triangle with bright lights." The object flew very low over the houses, beams emanated from its corners, and an orange fire burned in the middle. At the same time, the UFO emitted a quiet hum. Then a second giant triangle appeared. Turning over the highway, he disappeared behind the nearest forest.
The Belgians did not know that back in August 1968, Soviet military pilots encountered a similar object while performing night maneuvers. However, in the Soviet Union such information, of course, was kept secret by officials and therefore did not become the property of the general public. By the way, not long before the events in Belgium, "triangles" were seen in Ukraine - in Odessa, Poltava, Zhytomyr and other regions.
There have been reports of unidentified flying objects of incredible size. So, on March 13, 1997 at 18.55 local time, thousands of Phoenix residents observed a huge V-shaped UFO over the airport. It was so large that it obscured the stars and covered the space over several blocks. Among the eyewitnesses were land surveyors who were working in the north of Phoenix, who, using special equipment, were able to calculate the size of the object. It turned out that its length is 3.2 kilometers, and its width is 2.8 kilometers. Since it flew very low, on its sides a row of illuminated windows could be clearly seen, in which someone's silhouettes were visible. Subsequently, the "windows" went out.
From the nearest air force base, two F-15 fighters were sent to intercept the UFO, but the pilots' radars were out of order, and then they lost the object with extinguished lights out of sight.
The frightening size of UFOs is not uncommon. For example, on April 26, 1998, a UK Department of Defense early warning radar station detected a battleship-sized triangular object over the North Sea. He flew along a zigzag trajectory at a speed of 27 thousand kilometers per hour.
In 1958, the book "Mysterious Celestial Objects" by the French researcher Aimé Michel was published. The ufologist has built cartographic projections of the routes along which, according to reports, unidentified flying objects are moving. And he came to a sensational conclusion: reports of observations within one region come only from settlements located on one straight line passing along a certain geographic meridian or parallel! If there are “deviations” from the route, then the new trajectory follows another straight line, which is exactly 33 nautical miles from the first!
Two more French ufologists - Charles Garreau and Raymond Lavier - became interested in such a fantastic discovery. The ancestor of the latter, who also bore the name of Raymond Lavier, according to family legend, once met something unusual. On the evening of May 29, 1671, a Toulouse peasant saw in his vineyard a strange object, similar to a luminous round tent, consisting of two tiers. Lavier ran out into the garden, but before he could approach the uninvited guest, the "tent" rose into the air and flew away towards Toulouse.

Perhaps the distant great-great-grandson of the winegrower became interested in the topic of UFOs precisely thanks to ancestral legends. But, one way or another, Lavier and Garro checked Michel's information, and found out that if you break any region into squares with sides of 33 miles, then the trajectories of UFOs (and a wide variety of UFOs!) Run along these sides. One got the impression that the objects are purposefully examining the Earth in "squares"!
Of course, the aliens' interest in our planet cannot but worry. Why should they conduct such a thorough survey of our territory? Are they preparing to take over the Earth? Let's hope for the best - that communication with neighbors in the Universe will look like contact between two intelligent races, and not an act of aggressive invasion …
