Despite the absolute reliability of the existence of UFOs as an objective reality, the nature of this phenomenon remains undisclosed.

DEPARTURE-DEPARTURE POINT
It goes without saying that not only me was an eyewitness to the flights of strange devices. This is what a "miracle in the sky" was observed recently, for example, by M. Antonov from Rostov and his friends in the Stavropol Territory.
“We noticed,” says Antonov, “a brightly shining point that suddenly appeared over the steppe in the sky. Soon, a white "petal" stretched down from it - something like a searchlight beam. Then a second “petal” appeared, pointing up symmetrically to the first. The petals began to spin. The luminous propeller started to move, rushed across the sky … At the next moment, the “petals” were transformed into something similar to “spokes” - into many spokes. An eerie and at the same time exciting sight was: a huge wheel was rolling across the sky, revolving madly, the “rim” and “spokes” of which shone brightly.
"A wheel with spokes," Antonov claims, has appeared in the skies above that area before. “Old-timers of Stavropol,” he writes, “told me that they had seen such wheels more than once. The alleged flights of "wheels with spokes" and their, old-timers, fathers and grandfathers were observed … One of my philologist friends, whom I told about what I saw, laid out collections of Kalmyk and Ossetian folk legends and fairy tales on the table in front of me. In them I found descriptions of "wheels of fire" flying across the sky, generally similar to what I and my friends had seen. Fairy tales and legends, presumably, were passed down from generation to generation. And, therefore, the beginning of the series of long-term observations of "wheels" in that area is lost in the darkness of centuries."
Let us compare the message of M. Antonov with the information contained in the letter of G. Sakiev from the city of Ordzhonikidze, which I received several years ago.
Promotional video:
“All of us - me and my wife and daughter - were taken aback when we saw something like a rapidly revolving ship's steering wheel rolling across the clear sky over the mountains. The "steering wheel" suddenly froze in place and in the blink of an eye turned into a disk with two long beams sticking out of it. The rays were drawn into the disk, and within three to four seconds it shrank to the size of a star - bright, dazzling. And the star melted in the air."
Or we can compare it with the observation of D. Sambekov, the city of Nalchik. According to an eyewitness, at least a hundred more people observed the celestial phenomenon - a UFO appeared over the city market of Nalchik. He looked like a chamomile flower, which, rotating, floated in the sky for some time above the stalls.
“Nobody had time to blink, - stated Sambekov, - as the chamomile turned into a ball with two rays, then into an asterisk, and the asterisk disappeared.”
So, a phenomenon with clearly stable characteristics has been observed for a number of years, and perhaps, if we agree with Antonov, for a number of centuries in the same area, relatively small in area. The Stavropol-Nalchik-Ordzhonikidze triangle covers approximately half of the territory known as the North Caucasus. We do not have any other reports about "spoked wheels" from other regions of the country. That is why there is every reason to conventionally designate "wheels" as a North Caucasian type of UFO.
This suggests itself: this type of phenomenon, for reasons unclear to us, has, at least in Russia, a clear geographical connection. He manifests himself in a very specific, very specific area.
And here is an interesting, also modern message from the Far East, that is, from another region. Residents of the village of Magdagachi, Amur Region, A. Kruzhalkin and K. Litovchenko, who were riding motorcycles late in the evening along a forest road, saw something unusual. A little to the side of the road, a bright light suddenly flashed in a forest thicket, and an object similar to a car headlight floated over the taiga.
Soon it was transformed into a "ray-tail", which, in turn, began to swell and turned into a huge shining ball. Continuing to increase in size, the ball slowly flew towards the village of Magdagachi … Motorcyclists rushed after.
Despite the late hour, the villagers poured out of their houses onto the streets. A giant spherical UFO hovered in the sky over the village. Dogs barked and howled heart-rendingly … The object hung over the rooftops until four o'clock in the morning, then soared upward and, ever decreasing in size, disappeared into the sky.
Two witnesses - Kruzhalkin and Litovchenko - assert: they definitely saw that the "headlight", consisting, for example, of plasma, suddenly lit up in the taiga thicket. That is, the plasma object appears to have appeared out of nowhere - it was not there, and then suddenly it is. The object, as it were, broke into our world, having flown into it … From which, one wonders, edges? From another world, or what?
Let us conditionally call the moment of appearance of the "headlight" in the taiga the "entry point".
Once again: first there was a "headlight", that is, a small plasmoid. And only then did the puzzling transformations into a "beam-tail", into a ball, begin. By the way, in the Stavropol Territory, the flight of the "spoked wheel" across the sky began with the same thing. A star-shaped object appeared from scratch. His further transformations, no words, are picturesque, but incomprehensible. One thing is clear - the object appeared just suddenly, as if it had collapsed into the earthly skies, breaking through some kind of film between … Between what?
Between two worlds?
Let me emphasize in passing that in the letters of witnesses of the outlined anomalous phenomena there is not a word about unfavorable weather conditions - about thunderstorms, thunder, lightning discharges. So, it will not be possible to attribute all these phenomena to ball lightning.
The descriptions of UFOs made by Sakiyev and Sambekov work well for the hypothesis of the existence of some, perhaps, "holes" between the worlds. Both of them did not see how the object appeared in the sky, but they saw how it disappeared. The transformations "spoked wheel" - "steering wheel" - "daisies" went in the reverse order. Objects successively turned into a disk with two rays, then into a ball, then into a star, and the star suddenly disappeared. As if again at the point - this time of departure - a certain film burst, a tiny hole appeared in it. And the object dived into it, leaving, sucking in … Where? Into another world? Or, to put it differently, into a tunnel leading into that world?
And here is another message - from citizen Trifonova from the city of Atkarsk, Saratov region:
“I will describe to you what happened the other day with my husband Victor. Late at night, he and his friend were driving along a country road. There were thirty kilometers to Atkarsk, when suddenly a fireball appeared in the sky. Behind the ball, which flew slowly and silently, stretched a luminous tail, similar to a headscarf.
Then they lost sight of the ball and decided to stop. We got out of the car and were stunned - this thing was hanging in the air right above the car, and very low! It was five or six meters in diameter. Vitya and his friend got scared. They rushed to the car, but as soon as they started the engine, the ball immediately began to descend and went straight towards them - onto the car's windshield. Viktor's comrade instantly turned off the engine. The ball rose in response and hovered over the car again. So they, more and more panicking, several times tried to start the engine and get away from sin, but the ball did not allow them to move. And this went on for almost an hour! … And then the ball suddenly took off and quickly flew somewhere to the side, until it disappeared from sight at all. Victor arrived home at three o'clock in the morning, very frightened - he was not himself from experiences."
Colonel N. Petrenko's message from Crimea is somewhat different:
“On November 13, 1983, officers of various ranks of the Navy in the evening hours over Lake Donuzlav on the western coast of the Crimean Peninsula observed visually and on radars an oval, clearly outlined object with red lights above and green below. The object appeared in the sky suddenly and made a series of maneuvers over the lake and then over the Black Sea coast. A categorical answer was received from the airfields to the requests of the ground services of the Navy: “There is not a single unit of our equipment in this area. Interceptors were lifted into the air. An instant before the appearance of aircraft in the area where the object was located, the latter flew vertically upward at a very high speed and disappeared from the visibility zone."
To contrast with the military man's clear business report, I will give an emotional description made by the girl.
“It was in winter,” wrote ten-year-old Lyuda Cherepanova from the city of Veliky Ustyug, Vologda Oblast. - My friends and I walked in the yard in the evening. Suddenly we see a yellowish star flashed in the sky. It was about the size of a penny. My friend Lena shouted: “Look! Devils fly! “The star flew above us in circles. We got scared and fled in different directions. A hiss was heard from the sky. Then something hit the frozen snow crust in the yard with a clang. And we saw some thing lying on the ground. It was round, like a plate laid upside down. Above in the center was a half of a glass ball. And closer to the edge of the plate there is another glass half of the ball. Something inside the plate was buzzing like a bumblebee, and the balls glowed brightly.
Lena said: “Now the devils will come out!” We fled home in fear … Where this thing went later, we do not know … The next morning we saw a hole in the ice crust on the place where the thing lay. Last year's grass and earth were visible in it."
STRANGE REGULARITY
Another UFO was observed by a ninth-grader Tanya Voloschenko from Rostov-on-Don:
“I was standing in the late August evening on the balcony of our apartment on the fifth floor, when suddenly a blinding light flashed over the house in the sky. I closed my eyes in surprise. Then I open my eyes and see: a rectangle hangs in the sky, all white and white and bright and bright. I called my mother, who, frightened by my heart-rending cry, flew out onto the balcony like a bullet. And I also saw that rectangle …"
And here are the lines from a letter signed by the responsible employee of the Council of Ministers of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR K. Gugnev from the city of Grozny:
“It was summer. The four of me and my comrades went fishing by car. It was not far from Gudermes, a regional center in the Chechen-Ingush ASSR. It was late afternoon. The car was rushing along the highway, I was sitting next to the driver. And suddenly a bright round luminous object appeared out of nowhere. He immediately began to slowly descend. I asked to stop the car. We got out of it and began to watch what was happening. The object suddenly stopped gliding and froze in the air. A ring-shaped, regular-shaped smoky circle formed around it, as if the object had released some gases from itself. The ring remained visible for about a minute, then melted. And the fireball quickly flew away into the distance and disappeared over the horizon."
In the cited posts, despite the difference in style, age of observers, circumstances, etc., there is an interesting pattern. Whatever the fact, then the sudden, out of nowhere, the appearance of a UFO.
However, not always on perfectly empty.
The machine operator A. Shneezon from the Karaganda region writes the following. In the spring, when he was sowing spring crops on the state farm field, a bright blue spot swelled in the cloudless sky right in front of the tractor - smoky, round. In the next instant, something that, according to Schneezon, slowly flooded from the center of the spot, something that resembled a black icicle. As soon as the icicle squeezed out of the spot, the spot squeezed into a point and disappeared.
And the icicle flew away.
A mysterious spot from which an equally mysterious object appeared … What is it? What is the purpose of the stain? What is its essence, meaning? Is it not a hole, the assumption involuntarily suggests itself, into another world, on which the shutter rises from time to time? And if not a hole, then what?
Other messages suggest that it is still something like a kind of "hole in the sky".
Hydrologist S. Maksimov from the Irkutsk Region reports that once over Lake Baikal, almost exactly at the zenith, “a round luminous speck appeared, in which a grayish-bluish haze swirled. A black dot appeared in the center of the spot. Then an oval dark red object appeared out of it, similar to a biconvex lens. The object flew away and disappeared over the horizon in a matter of seconds. And the stain slowly melted away; while it evenly decreased in size, shrinking towards the center."
In response to a request, Maximov sent me another letter. In it he wrote:
“I have heard from my fellow countrymen about flights of some transparent green triangles over Lake Baikal. I myself have never seen them. But those who saw, assured that sometimes the triangle jumped out into the heavens from a round spot that appeared a minute or two earlier over the lake. According to eyewitness descriptions, the spot resembled the one I had seen. I will add that no one here has ever seen flying objects similar to the "lens" I observed before. I asked people - they just shrugged their shoulders …"
So, the situation: a spot appears at the top, an object is shot out of it or, as in the “case of Schneezon,” an object is slowly squeezed out, and the spot soon disappears.
All considered material has similar characteristics. UFOs either instantly materialize from scratch, or pop out of the spot. Thus, it turns out that the exit from the tunnel between the worlds is sometimes visible, sometimes not. Moreover, the appearing devices are of different types, at least in appearance - discs, rectangles, balls, "black icicles", "green triangles".
By the way, I found the mention of green triangles in one article by Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences V. Troitsky from the city of Nizhny Novgorod. "It is unlikely," writes Troitsky, "that belief in miracles would be embodied in luminous isosceles triangles." And he gives a specific example of observing such a triangle over the Gorky region.
Through the aforementioned Maksimov, I established the addresses of those people who observed UFO flights in the Baikal region, and contacted them. I sent them extensive questionnaires. According to the answers received, green triangles have been observed over Lake Baikal more than once in recent years. I have thirteen reports about them and four more about observations of some other "celestial ghosts" over the lake. For example, the type of "lens" noticed by Maximov.
For each questionnaire sent to eyewitnesses, I attached a photocopy of a contour map of the Irkutsk region. In response to my request, the correspondents indicated on the maps - albeit from memory - the directions of UFO flights. Well, and then I brought the materials received into a single map. And I got, so to speak, a wind rose, a rose of UFO tracks over Lake Baikal.
The arrows on a single summary map ran away from the lake in different directions, outlining a circle that was almost completely filled with them. A gap of approximately 30 degrees between the arrows closest to it was observed only in the place where the Angara flows into Baikal. There is there on the shore of the lake, not far from the Angara delta, such a village - Listvyanka. A few tens of kilometers north of Listvyanka, the triangles were seen, and twice. And in the alignment 30 degrees to the west - no.
In that direction, by the way, is Irkutsk, the only truly large city in the Baikal region. It's just a stone's throw from the delta.
Well, according to Heinek and Sanders, Chapman and Steinway, UFOs avoid appearing in the skies over large settlements. Numerous sightings of "celestial ghosts" in the countryside are the rule, not the exception. And a few - over big cities. Here's to you, on my guess, and the explanation of the dip of 30 degrees in the wind rose, the rose of the UFO trails.
The lines with which I marked on the summary map of the movement of objects converged … to one point! This point was located above Lake Baikal.
No, I in no way presume to assert anything for sure. I will only allow myself to formulate an assumption: does not everything that has been said mean that somewhere in the region of this sacramental point it is found over the lake … How could it be more correct to say? Exiting the tunnel of inter-world communications? A hole in the film that separates the worlds? A hatch with a lid leading to parallel universes or to other planets?
Recall the emergence of "spoked wheels" over a strictly defined region. And compare with the appearance of "triangles" again over a strictly defined area. The parallel here is obvious, it catches your eye. As if there are some specific, spatial and structural features of a particular area on our planet, which favor the appearance of "wheels" in one place, and "triangles" in another. Well, and in the third, maybe some other objects.
The end of the tunnel of inter-world communications seems to be abutting where it, like a magnetic needle, is attracted by some mysterious features of a certain point in another world. For travelers from the world, for example A, such a point may be the Stavropol - Nalchik - Ordzhonikidze section, and for travelers from the world B - the Baikal region.
Of course, all these are just assumptions, assumptions based on a simple comparative analysis of the available meager reports of UFO sightings. The assumptions, however, are backed up by a thought-provoking argument - the Baikal wind rose.
One gets the impression that we are encountering a strange pattern here. With a certain inherently mysterious mechanism of selective localization of points, in my version, the entry and exit of "heavenly ghosts". The nature of the mechanism, I repeat, is not clear to us in principle, but the fact that such a mechanism, most likely, exists, is more than transparently hinted at by the messages discussed above.
THEY WERE ALWAYS NEARBY …
Now let's turn to other groups of evidence.
A few years ago, an amazing story happened on the outskirts of Paris. A certain Franck Fontaine, in the presence of two of his friends, who were watching what was happening, drove into a foggy ball that descended from heaven onto the road. Rode in and disappeared. The ball flew away.
The gendarmerie summoned to the scene began to look for the franc. The search yielded nothing. A week passed, and suddenly Frank, as if out of the ground, appeared on the threshold of his own house! Later, he said that he spent all this time in some strange room, where "there were glowing, moving balls the size of an orange." And the balls talked to him. "I woke up," Frank recalled about what happened to him when he drove into that foggy ball, "and they started talking to me." They were "very smart, very wise" balls, he said.
One can, of course, assume that all this is a newspaper duck, nothing more.
However, let's listen (and compare with Frank's story) to what Elfira Popkova from St. Petersburg reports:
- I woke up one night from a soft knock. Of course, I see, the window is dissolving … Suddenly a bright luminous point appeared in the sky outside the window, which flew towards my house, gradually increasing in size. Then - a blackout. And suddenly, I look, orange glowing balls the size of an orange are floating back and forth throughout the room. I got out of bed. It was hard to move, like in water.
The next minute the balls entered into conversation with Popkova. Here is the semantic center, the node of their conversation:
- You, earthlings, are in great trouble.
- Why, - asked Popkova, - are you here then?
- This misfortune, - answered the balls, - can end in disaster for us. That is why we are still watching you.
In the contact data bank that I have collected, there are two more similar accounts of encounters with thinking balls. To one degree or another, they repeat the story told by Popkova.
For example, Elfira Popkova did not dream of meeting the balls. If this is so - if all this actually happened, then the question naturally arises: "Why some kind of disaster, which allegedly threatens us with an apocalyptic cataclysm in the foreseeable future, can turn out to be a fatal event for thinking balls?"
In search of an answer, let us turn to the book by the American B. Steiger "Encounters with an Alien." Let's hear what Steiger thinks about the nature of intelligent plasma and not only plasma bodies - starting with thinking balls and ending with the crews of "flying saucers".
January 1992. Moscow. Late in the evening, many eyewitnesses observed the flight of four "glowing balls" UFOs. In the photo: two "balls" - a large and a small one side by side - hovered briefly in front of the entrance to the church, the third "ball" hovered over the Christmas tree, and the fourth - to the left of the tree and slightly lower than the third.
He writes: “There is some form of symbiosis in the relationship between humanity and the UFO mind. I believe they need us as much as we need them. " And more: "The obvious reality clearly shows that they have always been with us and that they are intensively accelerating their engagement program."
In other words, a hypothesis is formulated about some complex forms of coexistence, symbiosis between us, people, and … And not us. An interesting idea is being put forward about our interdependence.
In some mysterious way, we are dependent on "them." In turn, "they" in some no less mysterious way depend on us … This idea, let it be known to you, can be confirmed by historical references.
Balls, other UFOs did not appear yesterday!
Messages about their coming to our heavens are plentifully scattered over old Russian, not only Russian books, handwritten folios, chronicles.
Here are some examples.
The famous "Laurentian list", compiled by the monk Laurentius for the Suzdal prince Dmitry Konstantinovich, is better known to the modern reader under the title "The Tale of Bygone Years". The list is a weather story, that is, events are presented in it by year. The UFO sighting is dated in the list under the year 1064 A. D. Or, as indicated in the manuscript, under the year 6572 from the creation of the world.
The author of the chronicle wrote:
“There was a sign in the west - a giant star, which had rays like bloody, rose in the evening after sunset and hung in the sky for seven days. It did not happen for good: there were many strife in the future, then the invasion of the nasty on the Russian land."
The author of the chronicle had in mind the intervention of the Polovtsy in 1064.
As you know, in the XI century there was a supernova explosion. But the Chinese astronomers in their chronicles, from where the information about the supernova was obtained, noted an outbreak in 1054. This is indicated by Isaac Asimov in his popular science book "The Universe". Consequently, the dates do not coincide for exactly ten years: the "bloody star" that hung over the Russian lands for a week was observed, I repeat, in 1064.
Or here's another testimony from the ancient Russian chronicles. The 13th century manuscript, entitled "Pechersk Patericon", tells of a meeting with a UFO during the reign of Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich in Kiev. The flight of the object was observed in a church located on the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk monastery.
Inside the church, not outside! … Restoration work was carried out in the building of God's temple that day. The altar was again covered with gold leaf by artisans.
Craftsmen suddenly saw how one of the icons hanging on the wall “shone through and through brighter than the sun”. Suddenly, in other words, the inter-world communication channel started working, and the artisan people were lucky enough to see how a UFO emerged from the channel or, to use the words of the chronicle, from the icon “enlightened through and through”. Witnesses, for lack of other analogies, compared it later, telling everyone around about a miracle, with a white dove.
The object, according to the chronicle, "flew up to the image of the Savior and disappeared there." After some time, the UFO appeared in God's temple again - it flew, the chronicler states, “throughout the church … Having flown down, he sat down at the icon of the Virgin. Those standing below wanted to catch the pigeon and put up a ladder; but it was not behind the icon or behind the curtain."
Further in the annals it is reported:
“They looked everywhere and could not understand where they had gone … And then the light, brighter than the sun, shone on everyone, blinding human eyes. All fell down and bowed to the Lord."
It is very important to emphasize that the record of the event was made in its freshest footsteps.
There are many such stories in the Complete Collection of Russian Chronicles. Here are just a few examples. In 911, a body that looked like a giant spear flew over Russia, and in 928, it looked like a snake. In 1214, an object hung over the Novgorod land all day long, looking like a huge watermelon crust that pulsed. She seemed to be filled with the "pulp" of a watermelon, then she was deprived of it. From time to time, the object was eclipsed by a kind of red cloud, circulating along the complex, as the chronicle makes it clear, trajectories around it.
In the collection of "Siberian Chronicles", also stuffed with unusual stories, it is reported that, for example, over the city of Tobolsk only in 1683 "heavenly ghosts" were observed three times.
An unknown chronicler writes: "A large star has risen with a black spot in its middle." The description guesses something similar to the UFO sighting described by Maximov from the Irkutsk region. Something like the entry point of a UFO is outlined in the annals. I will continue the quote: “the star immediately began to stretch like a belt, in length, bend and curl like a whip … Sparks flew from it … The whip instantly turned into a fish, and suddenly everything was gone. And only something like a star remained in that place, but soon it also disappeared. It was".
A few months later, "two stars with gigantic beams … The beams emitted by them extended upward, bending towards each other and crossing in a cross-like manner," ascended over Tobolsk at dawn. And two weeks later, in the middle of the night, a "light pillar" hovered over the house of the city governor, with a star in the middle of it. Two swords hung down from it, on either side of the pillar of that one.
In 1663, a huge flaming ball with a diameter of at least 40 meters appeared over Robozero in the Belozersk district of Robozero volost. It is described in the message of the monk Ivashka Rzhevsky to Archimandrite Nikita. The archimandrite later forwarded his note to the higher church authorities.
Our contemporary Yu. Roscius, who discovered this message in the patriarchal archives, gives the following comment to the message: “Of course, there may be a reader who will call Rzhevsky a hoaxer. Is this suspicion fair? At that time, an elementary check of Rzhevsky's report would have shown in this case that he was deceiving his own high and very stern monastic authorities. There is apparently no reason to consider Rzhevsky insane, because then the monastic authorities would not have given the document a go."
The collector of Yakut folklore I. Khudyakov, in his old book, cites, among hundreds of others, two Yakut riddles, which are guessed as follows: the subject described in them in Aesopian language is a messenger of the gods named Dzhergelgen, an alien from heaven.
I would call the first riddle only a modest prologue to the second. Here it is: "Flickering jumps, and no one can catch him." Who is it? "Jergelgen!" - Yakuts shouted in chorus in response, having seen this "flickering, galloping", but elusive in the tundra more than once, not two or three.
In the second riddle, in my opinion, an amazingly accurate description of a UFO is given, made by an uneducated person who was able to use the simplest words, however, to describe with enviable clarity the appearance of a "celestial ghost". Here it is, this riddle: "Without support from heaven and earth, the globular, dark sways."
… Let's take a look at the material just considered and give it an assessment. He helped us take another important step in understanding the phenomenon. We have made sure that unidentified flying objects are not a feature of our time. They have always been with us. UFOs have roamed the Russian skies for centuries.
"Heavenly ghosts" are a fact of historical reality. The phenomenon is rooted in the distant past. And not only in Russia.
STABLE CHARACTERISTICS
According to the report, for example, of the Archbishop Agobard of Lyons, in 840 in Lyons, “three men and one woman descended to earth from a flying ship. The whole city gathered around them, shouting that they were sorcerers … Four innocent people tried in vain to justify themselves, saying that they were local, that they had been carried away shortly before this by amazing people who showed them unprecedented miracles and let them go back so that they could tell about what they saw."
The most intriguing and interesting, first of all, due to their massiveness, reports about sky ships were made at the end of the last century and at the beginning of the present century.
For example, in the book of the outstanding Russian physiologist V. Bekhterev, published in 1903, it is said: “Probably, many still remember that with the aggravated relations between ours and Germany, strange flights of Prussian balloons to Russia began. The whole masses of persons testified about the simultaneous vision of these balloons by many persons, despite the fact that modern aeronautics did not give reason to believe in the reality of these flights.
A similar story happened 20 years later. According to numerous reports of the Russian press, in 1912 and 1913 some mysterious airplanes with two, as a rule, searchlights on each of them began to fly over Russia at night.
On December 24, 1912, such an airplane was first seen over the village of Severzh, Warsaw province. I felt the village with rays and flew away. On December 28, two unknown airplanes flew over the city of Kamenets-Podolsk. On January 30, 1913, one airplane passed over the city of Bialystok at night; two powerful searchlights probed the area. On February 6, an unidentified airplane was again loitering over the Slobodka station in the middle of the night, but this time with several multi-colored searchlights …
“A whole series of telegrams from various stations of the South-Western Railway,” wrote the newspapers of those years, “again informs about the appearance of a mysterious airplane. This time the telegrams are so categorical and consistent that they have to be believed. " The newspapers especially noted that with the then state of the art "searchlights could not be installed on airplanes, and all telegrams, confirming one another, report that the airplane illuminated the stations with searchlights."
Articles and notes about "airplanes with searchlights" were found in ancient Russian newspapers and systematized by Soviet ufologists V. Vilinbakhov and A. Beletsky. Commenting on them, they wrote that the whole complex of specifying details shows: the characteristics of "airplanes" (the quotes here are far from accidental!) Do not correspond to the aviation technology of that time. They indicate that the definition of "airplanes" was used by witnesses only by analogy with the new, fashionable means of transportation for that time.
The reliability of Russian messages can be easily checked using foreign indicators. At the same time, when unidentified aircrafts were mysteriously hovering over Russia, some no less mysterious flying devices circled over England.
The Russian newspaper "Odessa News" in November 1912 wrote that over the British Isles at the end of October was first seen "a Zeppelin-type airship, apparently belonging to the German air fleet." A couple of weeks later, reports of airships were pouring in from all over England.
Berlin reacted with cold dignity to accusations of aerial espionage.
"In German official circles," the refutation said, "they declare with full responsibility that mysterious aerial ghosts in England cannot be of German origin … The locations of all German airships are known, their movements take place in full view of the public, thousands of people watch every flight." …
I will now try to draw a parallel between the reports of mysterious "airplanes" and "airships" and the later sightings of similar UFOs.
According to Svyatkov, Yeltsina and Semina, old residents of the city of Bataysk, Rostov Region, an unidentified “heavenly ghost” circled over the city for a long time in the winter of 1937. A wave of massive Stalinist repressions swept through Bataisk at that time. That is why I remember the date … It was late evening, and a blizzard broke out in the yard. The weather was extremely flightless; a snow storm was raging in the Don steppes. And the witnesses, according to them, were taken aback when, through the howl of the wind, they suddenly heard a loud, even very loud rumble from the sky. Svyatkov jumped out onto the threshold of his adobe house, while Yeltsin and Semina, who lived in neighboring huts, clung to the windows.
Snow blasts rolled in clubs across the black, starless sky. But even through the blizzard, eyewitnesses dimly discerned two searchlight beams with which a certain apparatus, hovering in the snow whirlwind, illuminated the earth. For almost half an hour, he flew over Bataysk.
There are more recent reports of unidentified aircraft with two searchlights.
For example, an "airplane with two searchlights" was spotted visually by groups of witnesses over Moscow in 1980 and in the Norilsk area in 1981. On June 14, 1980, an egg-shaped metal-like object swept over the Kapotnya microdistrict in Moscow in broad daylight, followed by a fiery tail.
“Apparently,” said one of the eyewitnesses, the artist Korolyov, “it was not a ball lightning, but a clearly man-made, that is, artificial object. Along the entire length of its tail, there were bubbling, lumpy formations. Two short beams shot from the front of the object's body.
And the spouses Nikolai and Anna Panshin in August 1981 noticed a rapidly flying disc-shaped object over the Sobachye Lake near Norilsk.
“From the disk,” they wrote, “two beams, resembling searchlights, emanated from the front at an angle towards the ground. The object left behind it some semblance of jet streams."
A few minutes later the same, presumably, the object was seen by people who were on the shores of another lake in the Norilsk lakes system - Lake Lama. Flying over Sobachi and Lama, the disk changed its flight trajectory and soon appeared over Alykel airport. It hung there for a long time, causing great concern to all airport personnel, even something like panic.
Friends of the Panshin family worked in Alykel, who, according to Nikolai Panshin, told him:
"The next day, the authorities took tough measures to stop any talk and spread rumors about this amazing incident."
Domestic ufologists A. Kuzovkin and A. Semenov subjected to statistical analysis the distribution of UFO observations in the USSR by time zones, by observation time and duration, by weather conditions in which the "ghosts" were recorded, and so on. Trying to find patterns in the manifestations of anomalous phenomena, they tried to obtain a number of distributions of the parameters of the celestial phenomenon - a "ball", "point object", "disc", "cigar", "airship", "triangle", etc. So, if we compare the results the work done by them with similar statistical studies of the UFO phenomenon by the Frenchman Poer, the Americans Balle and Phillips, amazing things emerge: domestic and foreign data are in striking agreement with each other!
The correlation coefficient of the compared distributions by the external features of objects turns out to be 0.98, by the duration of observations - 0.99, by the colors of objects - 0.85, by months of the year - 0.99, by the time of day - 0.99 … In particular, it turns out that "heavenly ghosts" are recorded by residents of different countries at virtually the same local time. Specifically - between nine and ten o'clock in the evening most often.
Moreover, the data obtained by our and foreign statisticians are always described - an important detail! - in similar analytical terms.
In other words, we are talking about almost complete similarity of the material under study. Mysterious objects hovering in the Russian sky are absolutely no different from UFOs observed over France or the United States. The correlation of domestic and foreign statistical tables allows us to conclude that the UFO phenomenon is a phenomenon with certain inherent statistical properties that manifest themselves in a similar way in different regions of our planet.
Manifestations of celestial anomalous phenomena in the aggregate give rise to a phenomenon with stable, stable characteristics on the scale of, I repeat, the planet.
Saw a UFO - RUN
From an everyday point of view, it would be very nice if UFOs were just indifferently flying somewhere out there, in inconceivably high spheres, and in no way interfered with our earthly everyday affairs and worries. Alas, this point of view does not coincide with the "UFO point of view." "Flying saucers" often actively interact with ground objects.
For example, in the works of American ufologists, the following fact is often mentioned: when a flying "ghost" approaches a car driving on a highway, the car's engine often stalls. Americans also tell in their books about the strange stupor into which a person falls, caught by surprise by a UFO diving at him.
Similar reports come from domestic eyewitnesses to the tricks of the "heavenly ghosts". So, in 1963, the engines of the Soviet trucks, which followed a column along the highway, had a complete stop when a UFO of the "flying saucer" type hovered over the column. This incident was reported by the head of the ionosphere radio observation station of the Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR R. Vitolniek. He also owns the message about the meeting on September 19, 1967 of the AN-24 aircraft with a "cigar without wings".
“The motors suddenly stopped,” informs R. Vitolniek, “and the plane began to fall. When he was at a height of 100 meters above the ground, the “saucer” rushed up and disappeared. The motors started working again, the plane gained altitude and arrived safely at the destination airport”.
We can only speculate about what the people who were on board that plane at the time of its fall experienced …
There are many such examples. Messages unambiguously show: "ghosts of the sky" cover the internal combustion engines with some unknown field, which turns them off. For example, the Voronin family from the Rostov region reports: "When the 'disc' hovered over our car, the engine stalled, and all our panic attempts to get away from this horrible thing as soon as possible did not lead to anything." Oleg and Alena Smitnitsky write from the city of Tula:
“The engine in the car would not start in any way, and the 'cigar' was hanging over it at a height of about 50 meters. It was very scary…"
This mysterious field of unknown nature sometimes has an impact on people. The same Smitnitskys from Tula:
“The next day we both did not show up for work. I had to call a doctor. We started having bloody diarrhea. For five or six days I suffered from headaches and severe joint pains."
Or one more example. Employee Mironov walked with a suitcase in his hand along a country road that ran near the railway station Step, in the Chita region. It was late evening … And suddenly, from behind the edge of the forest, visible on the horizon, a "flying saucer" emerged and went on low-level flight over a snow-covered field to approach the lonely traveler. The object was almond-shaped in shape and clearly artificial, Mironov categorically insisted on his message of origin. A chain of round windows ran along the hull of the aircraft. And above them - strictly in the central part of the UFO - a small dome towered.
“Here I feel,” Mironov later described his feelings, “the fingers of my right hand are unclenching by themselves, I am unable to hold the suitcase. And my burden falls to the ground. The next moment I am convinced that I cannot move, as if my arms, legs, neck are not mine. The head is empty, thoughts are sluggish. I stand as if paralyzed."
Without stopping for a second, the "plate" swept at some distance from Mironov and disappeared from his eyes. After some time, the traveler began to come to life, his arms and legs moved. But over the next few days, he complained of disgusting health.
A close encounter with a UFO is thus hazardous to health. This is confirmed by other facts.
On a September evening, four tourists walked through the mountains. These were the candidate of physical and mathematical sciences Gurgenidze from Tbilisi and three Muscovites - candidate of historical sciences Nikolaev, engineer Lezhava and candidate of technical sciences Gershenzon. The case took place in the Caucasus near the village of Khamshi on the banks of the Inguri mountain river. Tourists rounded another rock and were taken aback. On a small platform among the bushes, slightly towering above him, stood on supports "flying saucer".
“The UFO,” Gershenzon and Lezhava reported in their report, “was a spherical body with a radius of about two meters, resting on a circle about 90 centimeters thick and leaning on three straight legs … When we tried to approach it, we felt unreasonable fear, which at a distance of four meters turned into intolerable horror."
After numerous cautious, but unsuccessful attempts to approach the object, the historian Nikolaev decided to put the experiment, so to speak, in the field on himself. Having scattered, he quickly rushed to the spheroid. And, not having reached him two or three meters, fell to the ground as if knocked down. With great difficulty, his friends, overcoming the horror that rolled in waves, pulled the unconscious historian out of the "field of fear." Nikolaev lay unconscious for several hours after this incident. And when he finally came to his senses, neither he nor his comrades had the desire to contact UFOs yet.
Moreover, it must be said here that the remote effects of anomalous phenomena do not always turn out to be the same relatively favorable outcome. In the village of Kozeevka, Kharkiv region, an incredible incident occurred in broad daylight. According to Ekaterina Skripnik, her old mother, hand in hand with her young grandson, stepped through the threshold of her hut into the courtyard and was struck down by some force.
Force hit her from above. The woman collapsed on the threshold of the house, and the grandson fell next to her. Later she described this power as "energy" piercing her from top to bottom … When the old woman regained consciousness, she found her grandson lifeless.
An autopsy of the deceased showed that the death of the child occurred instantly for an unknown reason. There were no bruises on the body and on the head. There were also no ruptures of internal organs or hemorrhages.
Prestes Filke, a farmer from São Paulo in Brazil, was also stunned and killed by “a mysterious beam of light that fell from the sky,” according to a police report. A large group of witnesses, local residents, saw: suddenly a thin beam of light descended from the sky and "pierced" the farmer Filke.
A couple of hours after the incident, the farmer's condition began to deteriorate rapidly. Something terrible has begun. The insides of Prestes Filke, writes researcher of anomalous phenomena B. Steiger from the USA, "began to be seen through the skin, and the soft tissues looked as if they had been boiled for several hours in boiling water." Eyewitnesses report: "The meat began to move away from the bones of Prestes, falling out in pieces from his jaws, chest, arms … The nose and ears fell off, rolling from the body to the floor."
Six hours after he was hit by a "ray from heaven", Prestes died.
… So, dear reader, let me give you some advice that I hope you will heed. If you saw something unusual in the sky, do not waste your time on idle talk. Do not stand with a drooping jaw like an idol.
If your own life is dear to you after seeing a UFO - run! Get away from sin while safe.
