Are we really interested in the inhabitants of distant planets, or is there another wave of mass psychosis? Understood by our observer Evgeny Arsyukhin.
Aliens left Earth in 2015 but recently returned, the national UFO reporting center said. This organization collects information about misunderstandings in the sky from all over the world. Until recently, the world media discussed a sensation: after July 2014, when people saw the maximum number of UFOs in the entire history of mankind, the plates hid somewhere. No one could understand what had happened. The correspondent contacted the center, and he was dumbfounded: in the last month or two, the aliens again took up our planet, and how. What's happening? Are we really interested in the inhabitants of distant planets, or is there another wave of mass psychosis?
Not promised, but returned
Center director Peter Davenport rarely gives interviews. Still, Peter sits on all the world's information about aliens, there is a reason to be classified. I sent him a letter in broken English and sighed: he would not answer. And an hour later he writes to me, and in excellent Russian! "Dear Evgeny, don't be surprised, forty years ago I worked in the Union as a translator, and I can still speak a little Russian." What an interesting detail … Well, the easier our conversation went.
So what happened? Not so long ago, the center reported: UFOs simply attacked our planet in July 2014. Then, in a month, 8670 plates were seen all over the world. Record! But then - a sharp decline. And in June 2018, for example, only 1,329 UFOs were observed. Of which, of course, there are a lot of frank delirium. But people are raving more or less evenly. If UFOs are really alien ships, then they flew away?
Maybe they flew away, but only returned. “Our center now receives between 400 and 600 reports a month,” said Peter Davenport. "The number of observations was decreasing, but now it has returned to normal."

But what kind of observations are we talking about? The main source of information is the Internet form, which, at the call of the heart, fills out the UFO eyewitness himself. There are tricky questions, the answers to which make it clear whether the person is lying or not, whether he was drunk, or maybe everything was dreamed of in a dream. Over the entire existence of the center, he received 122 thousand such reports from around the world, Peter said. “Some of them are erroneous identification, that is, missile launches, astronomical events, aircraft flights are mistaken for UFOs. Some are outright hoaxes, although we try to filter out pranks early on,”says Peter.
Recently, American researchers presented a report in which they asked the question: what if people see UFOs when they get drunk? If we take a typical day, the maximum number of UFO reports is from 6 to 11 pm. This is understandable: the work is over, it is dark outside, but you are still awake. But at the same time, people drink, and sociologists call this time of day: "drunken hours." Is there a connection? We took statistics on the states of the United States, where they drink. Overlaid on UFO sighting data. Cleared the second data from the first. And we got an amazing picture. If you subtract the factor of drunkenness, then UFOs are often seen in Alaska, in the west of the country, near the famous secret Base 51, but most of all - near the White House.
In general, comrades, whether we are under the cover of aliens is a big question. And the fact that we are under the hood of the "men in black" is a fact. You wrote about the aliens, and someone is wondering if you are putting on the collar. And, I think, the center has much richer information than they say.

Oil, fake news and autumn escalation
Journalists still see UFO sightings as nothing more than a phenomenon of mass psychosis. Psychosis, of course, is evident, but in our time you should not pretend that people freak out when they please. Information and emotion have become the most valuable commodities, public opinion does not exist in its pure form, it is cleverly manipulated. Who, why?
According to one version, after 2014, people stopped seeing UFOs, because their coordinate systems were knocked down. In the new reality, the statements and deeds of politicians turn out to be so wild that the news that a UFO flew into a restaurant and the aliens had breakfast there is somehow lost. There used to be a normal world: politics, economics, culture - and a paranormal world. Today, against the background of what the mighty of this world are doing, and with them bloggers, the aliens seem to be quite reasonable guys, and if so, why should they be interested? There is another blogger who ate a live dog, let's look.
July 2014, when the historic peak of UFO sightings was recorded, was a very unusual month. The conflict in the east of Ukraine is in full swing. No one knew then how he would develop. And then there are also aliens. Very similar to the times of the Cold War: in the Caribbean crisis, in the Korean War, UFOs are right there. High-minded sociologists immediately came up with the idea that people subconsciously expected that the aliens would not allow nuclear war. But in 2014, hardly anyone expected that UFOs would save civilians in eastern Ukraine. Nevertheless, UFOs are one of the topics that they are trying to manipulate at a time of political aggravation, says Viktor Baranets, a military observer for Komsomolskaya Pravda.
“I've been tracking so-called UFOs for fifty years now,” he says. - And it is obvious to me that the real information about UFOs is kept in strict secrecy both in the United States and in Russia. So, all the events that were recorded by our pilots and cosmonauts were handled by a special department, and, as far as I know, it has not gone anywhere. The information that gets into the media has nothing to do with real data.
Analysts are constantly trying to connect the appearance of UFOs with some events on Earth, adds Baranets. But if we take real observations, which the media do not write about, then there is no connection, he assures. “I’m not saying that there is no UFO,” he sums up. “I just don’t believe that aliens are sitting in UFOs. Until real aliens finally visit our planet, we will feed each other with fairy tales."
You might think that someone is coming up with stories about UFOs to distract people from some important events. But everything works a little differently, says political scientist Pavel Pryanikov.
“The surge in UFO sightings this fall is associated, of course, with events in the Middle East and around Iran,” he says. - There has been restless since May (it was from this moment that purely “observations” began to grow. - Author). People are afraid of war, their psyche is going wild. A possible US attack on Iran is being watched by millions, maybe billions of people - this is the Iranian diaspora, all of India, people from Pakistan and many others. To create a wave, the activity of several thousand mentally unbalanced people is enough.
In addition, the military themselves have become more active: planes fly where it was previously quiet, drones like those that attacked oil rigs are launched, and secret devices are tested. All this is already seen by normal people. Where there are aliens, there is war! - Gingerbread bitterly summarizes.
FROM THE DOSSIER
The headquarters of the National UFO Information Center is located in Washington state, in an abandoned bunker where nuclear missiles aimed at the USSR once stood. Center Leader Peter Davenport - Master of Science in Genetics and Biochemistry. He knows Russian brilliantly - he worked as a translator in the American grouping of troops in Germany and the USSR. Flight instructor. He made a fortune in biotechnology - he was the owner of BioSyn, whose shares he sold when he retired. He does not hide that he is in contact with the FBI, and is sure that the "hot line" through which he is informed about UFOs is being tapped by the special services.
