UFO flights at high speeds were also recorded: in 1949 over White Sands (New Mexico) - speed 40,000 km / h, in 1952 over Terre Hout Airport (Indiana) - speed 67,000 km / h and in 1953 over South Africa - a speed of 16,000 km / h. In our country, in March and May 1985, at the control room of the Gorky airport radar, unknown objects were observed moving at speeds of 6000-7200 km / h. US satellite tracking stations determined that the speed of one UFO, flying from east to west across the entire territory of the American continent, was 72,000 km / h.
The former head of the Blue Book project, Ruppelt, wrote in his book "UFO Report" that the highest speed of a UFO recorded by radars was about 200,000 km / h. For some reason, UFO flights are not accompanied by the explosive sounds that usually occur when aircraft overcome the sound barrier. It seems that these objects do not feel air resistance at all, since they fly in any position of the body.
As a rule, UFOs, which are shaped like a disk or a saucer, face the ground with their flat part during flight. But there are times when they fly "on the edge" and expose their maximum surface towards the movement, as if ignoring air resistance. Such cases were noted in 1947 in Oregon, in 1954 in the Alps and Tunisia, in 1966 near Melbourne and in 1969 over Papua (New Guinea), and in our country - not far from Baku.
The second characteristic feature of UFO flight is their ability to make right-angle turns at high speeds without slowing down. In October 1968, the crew of the Romanian tanker "Arges", following the Mozambique Channel, saw a sparkling disk about 17 m in diameter sweeping across the sky at incredible speed, emitting bluish-green rays. Suddenly the disk changed abruptly … the direction of movement in the 90s and disappeared with great speed. In July 1976, a Swedish fighter pilot on a training flight over Lake Bulman (Småland province) observed six unknown delta-shaped objects flying a transverse course at a speed of about 2500 km / h. Before his eyes, these objects suddenly made a sharp 90-degree turn, after which they undertook some unexpected lateral maneuver and soared upward with tremendous acceleration.
UFO turns at right angles at high speeds were also observed in 1947 in Alabama, in 1967 in Singeortsbey (Romania) and in 1.974 - in Austin (Texas). In the journal Technics for Youth (1979), cosmonaut Khrunov wrote that “the ability of a UFO at high speed to change its course by 90 degrees. just amazing. The third characteristic feature of UFO flight is their ability to instantly develop enormous speeds from a stationary hover, or, conversely, at full speed to instantly stop or even change the direction of movement to the opposite.
The ability of a UFO to instantly develop enormous speeds can be illustrated by the following examples. In July 1954, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, nine round UFOs were observed, glowing with green light, which hovered motionless, and then instantly developed a speed of 4000 km / h and made a turn at 340 degrees. In August 1965, in the USSR, a group of geologists on the banks of the Kondoma River of the Kemerovo Region for 30 minutes observed a hanging in the southeast at an angle of 60 degrees. towards the horizon, an oblong object no less than the visible lunar disk, which suddenly turned into a point within one minute. The eyewitnesses got the impression that the object began to move away from them with a huge acceleration, which, according to their calculations, was about 44 km / s. In the following cases, UFOs flying at high speedinstantly changed the direction of their movement to the opposite. In August 1947, near the city of Tampa (Florida), a cylindrical object, twice the size of a heavy bomber, came close to the C-47 aircraft. The threat of a collision seemed imminent. But at the last second, the object flew sharply in the opposite direction. Its speed was about 3000 km / h.
In July 1952, the crew of a DC-4 aircraft flying from New York to Miami, in the Norfolk region, saw six brightly glowing disks with a diameter of 30 meters, moving in a column towards the aircraft at a tremendous speed, which was later estimated at 19,000 km / h … When approaching the plane, these disks, without slowing down, lay on the edge and seemed to bounce off an invisible wall at an angle of 150 degrees, flying away in the opposite direction.
Instantaneous UFO direction changes were also noted in 1952 again in Florida and 1960 over the city of Indianapolis, and in our country in 1978 in the Khabarovsk region. UFO trajectories are very diverse. The following are examples of a zigzag UFO flight path. In November 1980 in Tula, radio engineer Tyapkin observed a star-like object flying from north to south along a zigzag trajectory, with the apparent magnitude of the zigzags decreasing as it moved. Then the object stopped and hung for 5-6 minutes.

At a seminar on UFO problems in Petrozavodsk in 1988, the famous test pilot Marina Popovich told how she and a group of eyewitnesses, while on Gissar in 1983, observed a luminous object that looked like a satellite, which at first moved along a zigzag path, and then hung motionless, directing a beam of light towards the earth. In October 1989, near the village of Vladimirovka, Khvorostyansky District, Kuibyshev Region, five machine operators working in the field saw a strange luminous object in the form of a ball with a diameter of at least 50 m, which hovered low above the arable land. On it were visible "portholes", a flashing device rotated in the upper part. Then this object began to quickly move over the field in a zigzag path and illuminate the ground under it with a powerful searchlight.
UFO flights along zigzag trajectories were also noted in 1961 over the city of Beijamen (Texas), in 1965 in Antarctica, in 1967 in the Birgaulun region (Romania), in 1976 over the city of Viedma (Argentina), in 1973 near Belomorsk (USSR), in 1984 in the area of the Khabarovsk airport and in 1985 - near Shaulai. Zigzag trajectories are trajectories of descending or landing UFOs; these objects often sway from side to side, like a falling leaf. Such a UFO movement was observed in 1952 in England, in 1954 in France, in 1958 in El Salvador, in 1957 and 1960. in the USA, in 1968 in Romania, and in our country in 1977 in Makhach-Kala and in 1978 in Belev near Moscow. In the "Statistical Study of UFO Reports" conducted in France by Poer's group, 38 cases of UFO flights along the trajectory of a falling leaf are listed.
There are also known cases when UFOs moved along trajectories in the form of a spiral, as it was in 1956 over Orangeville (Canada), in 1984 over Khabarovsk and in 1985 - over Kohtla-Järve. In other cases, they flew along undulating trajectories, now rising, then falling. Similar trajectories were recorded in 1984 in Ohio, in 1951 in Michigan, and in 1956 in the Washington area. Sometimes UFOs moved in leaps and bounds, like flat stones thrown over the surface of the water. Such observations took place in 1947 over Medford, Oregon and in 1956 over Washington state. It happens that objects change the position of their body when flying or hovering. In December 1978, over Moscow for 5 minutes, a slow flight of a luminous cylinder was observed, which flew in an upright position and changed the angle of inclination during movement,temporarily taking a horizontal position. Then he made a smooth turn and disappeared in a southwest direction.
There are also eyewitness accounts reporting that sometimes flying or hovering UFOs waddled from side to side like coins falling on the floor. In September 1950, in Korea, pilots of three American fighter-bombers returning from a combat mission saw two round silvery objects 200 m in diameter flying at a speed of about 2000 km / h above them. Suddenly the objects stopped and began to vibrate, waddling from side to side, and then flew over the planes at the same speed. Examples of such a UFO vibration were also observed in 1955 over Washington state, in 1957 over Florida and California, in 1962 over London, in 1966 over Tennessee and New York, and in our country in 1975. - over Kiev.
It is even more surprising when the upright UFOs seem to roll across the sky like wheels. The Blue Book cites an incident in March 1953, when two witnesses returning from Glen Burnie to Baltimore saw a 15m diameter, silvery flat disc with a dome and masts hovering for 3 minutes over their car. Then the disc stood on an edge and began to move, as if rolling across the sky, after which it disappeared beyond the horizon. Below are a number of examples when UFOs made some erratic, chaotic movements for a long time, making jerks, unexpected stops, sharp turns or zigzags, as a result of which their flight profile looked broken and discontinuous.
In January 1953, near Sonoma Valley, California, two pilots observed unusual UFO maneuvers flying at high altitude. This object, moving very quickly, within 15 seconds made three circles with very small radii, then made two sharp turns at right angles first to the right, after 5 seconds - to the left, after which it stopped for a while, picked up high speed again, stopped again and finally, it rose vertically upward and disappeared. In September 1965, hundreds of residents of the Peruvian city of Cuzco observed dizzying maneuvers of four blue UFOs for 2 hours.
These objects made right-angle turns, hovered in place, circled in ways that no aircraft could do, and finally disappeared at incredible speed. In January 1967, many Houston residents watched for 30 minutes as a round UFO, glowing bluish-green, "painted" aerobatics. This object made strange zigzags, moved in jumps with abrupt stops, unexpectedly dived down or shot up sharply, etc. Similar chaotic UFO flights were also observed in 1956 from an aircraft flying from New York to Alabama, and in 1971 in the Styrian Alps.
In our country, in July 1977, two witnesses in the village of Boguchany, Krasnoyarsk Territory, observed a bright object in the sky, similar to a satellite, which at first moved in a straight line, and then also flew in a straight line almost backward (at an angle of 135 degrees). After that, he began to move chaotically up and down along complex curves, at times stopping for a few seconds. In the end, it froze motionless and gradually faded out. So far it has not been possible to explain such a strange UFO behavior.
