What do our contemporaries see inside UFOs?
The first thing that surprises the mysterious ships boarded on board is the large internal volume of the room, devoid of the usual heap of cables, instruments, pipes, tumblers for a spacecraft. The whole environment is most often made up of comfortable chairs, a control panel, an overview screen and a star map.
"… When morning came, Rama sat in a celestial chariot … This chariot moved by itself … It had two floors with many rooms and windows … When the chariot flew in the air, it made a monochromatic sound" (the ancient Indian epic "Ramayana").
“… There were no objects, only clever devices and something that looked like a small cloth, all in stars and dots, each of which pulsed in its own way” (Alberto Gordoni; Sicily, Italy; May 3, 1753).
One can imagine how unusual such a setting looked for a medieval inhabitant. However, even in our enlightened XX century, even engineers with higher technical education inside UFOs still feel like ignorant savages …
“… Looking into one of the windows of a cone-like ship, I saw a wonderful picture. 5 rectangles, similar to television screens, were shining. One of them was very large - I have never seen such in my life!.. In front of the screen in an empty room, a woman with a golden braid was looking at some images - drawings …”(Magda; Kranj, Slovenia, Yugoslavia; mid-1960s) …
“… The strange matte object was the size of a car 2.5 meters high, shaped like a rugby ball (ie, an ellipsoidal UFO. - Author). On the side is a door that looks like a sliding door. Nearby were 2 creatures about a meter in height, they had large ears and a hole instead of a mouth … The lower part of the apparatus was 50 centimeters from the ground, it rested on a cylindrical pipe. The upper part of the device consisted of a transparent (like plexiglass) dome, so it was clear that there was nothing inside that could attract attention … Both unknown persons went inside, the door slid down, and those who entered did not make a single action or gesture for this … They were perfectly visible through the dome. Then a dull noise was heard, the apparatus rose by about half a meter, the pipe came out of the ground, and the four legs began to rotate clockwise. The device flew downhill with a very high speed and after 50 meters it disappeared altogether (dematerialized?). For about a quarter of an hour the eyewitness could not move … "(peasant Maurice Massa; vine field near the village of Valensole, southern France; 3.45 am on July 1, 1965). did not notice. I didn’t notice how the second door was closed either, but I felt that we had closed ourselves off from the outer space. The "leader" put his hand on the remote control and began to press something. The car began to slowly rise upward, simultaneously turning around the vertical axis. Having risen 40 meters, they stopped … Suddenly I noticed a very fast acceleration upward. There were no overloads, but everything began to rapidly decrease in size "(V. S. Kharitonov; a farm 27 km from Pskov, USSR; January 1978).

“… A rectangular object measuring 3 x 5 m and a height of 2.5 m, similar to a bus, hung at a height of 2-3 meters. There were no seams or rivets visible on its surface, and screw-shaped rods 1-1.5 m long protruded from the protrusions on four sides, resembling a rotating part of a meat grinder. These rods rotated at high speed, emitting a soft hum. Then a sheet of metal on the object rolled into a roll and a hatch opened, from which a ladder descended. The strangers gestured to us to climb inside. Inside the spacious room, apart from a kind of a lantern upstairs, a dozen benches near a “black and gray” smooth wall and paralyzed birds lying on the floor, there was nothing else”(Jan Wolski; Emilczyn, Lublin Voivodeship, Poland; May 15, 1978).

“… I again began to ask them to bring me home and again lost consciousness. I woke up when they flew up to the ship, which was hovering in the air at a short distance from the ground. It looked like an overturned dark gray frying pan with many small bulbs symmetrically positioned around the ship. The lights were on and off … I woke up inside, in a round hall, sitting in a red armchair without armrests. The hall was equipped in such a way that a control panel (in a circle) with flashing red lamps was installed on all sides. Then THEY entered through a round doorway …”(employee of the military academy; Otradnoye district, Moscow, USSR; August 1989).
“… I am a skeptic and a realist, and therefore at first I mistook the UFO for our spacecraft … I climbed up the 'petal' (ladder?) Into an 8-10-meter egg-shaped apparatus and got into a small shower room, where a foamy liquid was pouring and a warm wind blew … an inner door … There were three armchairs inside, in the center of the round table was the Earth's globe. I looked closely - there are no state borders on the globe, but only some crosses … (A. Yas, engineer; Belaya Tserkov, Ukraine, USSR; September 1989).
“… I grabbed the handrail and found myself in the corridor. It was wider than the opening, the smooth floor was made of some kind of metal, there were no doors, the walls and ceiling formed an oval on top, and some reinforcements and fasteners were visible from the back of the casing. Along a 7-8-meter corridor, I got into a large white hall with a diameter of about 20 meters, along its perimeter there were five more of the same entrances, between which there were 5-6 racks with flickering light. The domed ceiling emitted a soft, diffused blue light. There was an information screen on one of the walls. Against the other wall was a remote control with a large number of switches with black knobs and rectangular illuminated buttons with painted symbols. The same flashing buttons were on the racks. I did not notice the instruments and scales. There was a long, straight sofa nearby. There was a gap along all the walls in a circle, apparentlythe central part of the hall with a remote control and a sofa could rotate and stop at any counter”(Oleg K.; Arkhangelsk region, 80 km from Plesetsk, USSR; November 1989).
“… Half a meter away from the window there was a small object that looked like two folded plates, from which zigzag (?) Rays - green, yellow and blue - emanated. The plate became transparent, then it gradually opened, like a shell, inside there were only a computer, keys, a screen, a starry sky on the screen and the same plates. There were also six white-haired people in identical silvery (even sparkling) suits, one of them was a woman …”(Yuvelina, 8 years old; Sterlitamak, USSR; early 90s).
“… Inside the plate I remembered only one remote control, which had 25 buttons: 5 rows by 5 columns…” (Yura K.;
Moscow region, USSR; early 90s).
“… Two large luminous balls, each several meters in diameter, descended from above. The white ball remained, and a strange, many-eyed creature taller than a human came out of the red one … We were both "pulled" into the ship. There I remembered only the seat on which I was seated and the flickering screen right in front of the chair … The stranger said that the ship has 4 shapes (?) and is able to move at the speed of light …”(Zhenya X., fifth grader;
Omsk, Russia; October 14, 1991).
In addition, people who have been inside the alien ships are struck by the abundance of various mysterious equipment and devices.
The second common UFO feature that contactees will remember is the abundance of instruments and equipment. As a matter of fact, it cannot be otherwise, if contactees are invited, it is on research ships. Well, on UFOs of other purposes, even if they are, guests are not taken. And if they take them (for example, to a warship), they are unlikely to release them … But we already know that man-made UFOs have large empty internal volumes, which probably makes them very versatile in use. For example, transport ships can easily be converted into research ships - if the internal premises are filled with the appropriate equipment. As a matter of fact, the contactees noticed not only multifunctional or re-profiled premises (a characteristic feature is passageways and corridors cluttered with devices), but also specialized laboratories, workshops,storages, museums, operating rooms and other compartments that are incomprehensible in function.
“… I was examined with some kind of instruments and devices, like a large needle, on an“operating table”that stood in the center of the room… The humanoid gave me a look at a book, in it instead of letters there were dots and all kinds of thick and thin, straight and curved lines He crossed the room to the corner of the table, opened some hole in the metal wall and pulled out (unrolled) a map from there with dots ranging from a pinhead to a coin and connecting them with thick, thin, dotted lines … It was a diagram of interstellar routes. (Barney and Betty Hill; New Hampshire, USA; September 20, 1961).
“… Monet Stafford was lying in a room that looked like an operating room, and around her were 3-4 figures in white coats and surgical masks. She was paralyzed and saw a big "eye" watching her. Elaine Thomas was watched by humanoids 1.2 m in height in an empty dark room, where, apart from the table, there was nothing else "(L. Smith, M. Stafford, E. Thomas; Liberty, Kentucky, USA; January 1976).
“… I woke up in the laboratory. It was a white-walled room, like a classroom. There were a lot of cars there. Luminous dials were everywhere. Luminous balls the size of an orange were constantly moving around the room”(Frank Fontaine;
Cergy-Pontoise, France; 1980).
“… I saw a green room and… myself with loose hair, twisted into something white, but not into my clothes. I appeared, and we - the one that was looking and the one that was on the table - merged. And I felt a panic … There was no one in the green room. But I saw a long, 20 centimeters, metal rod, like a pencil. It was as if someone's hands were passing it to each other, like a surgeon's instrument. But I did not see my hands …”(N., employee of one of the Moscow scientific centers; USSR; until 1993).
“… There were no lamps to be seen, but it was very light, although the light did not hurt the eyes. And this light greatly contributed to the emergence of a feeling of comfort … Then all the women were transferred to a nearby smaller room, they stayed there alone, put them on some kind of armchairs, the walls are all consoles, all the interweaving of some pipes through which something it kind of flowed. All this is a continuous play of light and color, the movement of color flows. Some of the tubes had suction cups. There was a feeling that these pipes with suction cups were endowed with the rudiments of reason. The woman was here and was all covered with these suckers. Moreover, if the sucker flew off from the movement of a person, then immediately it automatically again found the previous point and stuck to it …”(woman N.; the case was studied by NI Makarova from Togliatti, Russia; end of 1994).
Referring to the archives of the domestic UFO center, one can easily supplement the general ideas about the situation on the man-made UFOs. According to the generalized data of Russian contactees who were abducted and later returned home, the first thing they often see is an elongated hall or tunnel. In 35 cases described by V. Azhazha, this tunnel was rather long and winding (perhaps the “tunnel” is not material, but is only a visible manifestation of some fields). Then the abductees enter a room that resembles an operating room or a dentist's office. The description of the room is the same in many stories (there are 95 of them).
In 29 cases, the UFO space was described as having a circular or domed shape. In 18 cases out of 31 it was dominated by white light, in 11 cases - gray (or metallic). In 3 cases, black walls were mentioned. 32 subjects reported poor lighting on board. In 25 cases a very light room was mentioned, and in 13 cases it was semi-dark or completely dark. Several subjects met with both options. The furnishings of the room included variations of our usual objects. One or more tables are marked in 52 cases. Usually the table is hard, smooth, rather narrow, on one support. Sometimes the table is raised high, lowered low, or shaped like a reclining chair. Of the other furniture, objects that looked like kitchen shelves, computers, and screens were most often present. In concrete figures, it looks like this: tables were seen by 52 people; screens,displays - 17 people; computers - 16; chairs - 11; shelves, racks - 10; cabinets - 10; benches - 6. In 18 cases, subjects noted a specific scent that was unlike common odors. Four smelled their burnt hair or body, and six noted the foul odor coming from the aliens. Some were able to describe as well and present there some devices designed for certain medical procedures (for example, scanning the body of a subject).intended for certain medical procedures (for example, a scan of a subject's body).intended for certain medical procedures (for example, a scan of a subject's body).
It also happens that correspondents do not just describe the cases they heard from hearsay, some witness such anomalous phenomena with their own eyes. For example, this is what Izvestia's own correspondent wrote in Maputo (number from 27.02.88):
“After I conveyed to Izvestia a message about a mysterious object that I had seen in the sky from an airplane taking off from Beira, the newspaper Diariu di Mozambique, published in that city, arrived. There are published three photographs of the UFO and a story about how many residents of the city observed it.
Observation at the meteorological station was carried out through binoculars, but the naked eye could also see a brightly luminous object hovering motionless over Beira. According to the local station, it was not an artificial satellite or a probe. The oblong body had two "mustaches" and two bright "eyes". According to the commander of the Boeing-737 passenger plane of the national airline LAM, he saw a luminous UFO from the pilot's cabin and turned on the aircraft headlights, as if attracting his attention. At this moment, both "eyes" of the mysterious object went out, and he began to roll aside, quickly disappearing in the southern direction …"
