For many years, some witnesses, and the crews of planes and ships, scientists, meteorologists and operators of radar stations of various countries have observed strange (anomalous) phenomena in the atmosphere and outer space, the main weight of which is associated with the flights of some unknown bodies of regular geometric shape, dubbed "Unidentified flying bodies" - UFOs, in English "unidentified flying objects" - UFO, in French "objects volatile non identifee" - OVNI (the same abbreviation in the countries speaking Spanish, Italian and Portuguese). Moreover, it turns out that in the main number of cases, the observed bodies, with the most careful examination, cannot be identified either with natural phenomena or with technical experiments, and they have not yet accepted a satisfactory explanation.

Moreover, it turns out that in the main number of cases, the observed bodies with the most careful examination cannot be identified either with natural phenomena or with technical experiments, and they have not yet accepted a satisfactory explanation. The percentage of unidentified bodies among the total number of UFO reports in different sources differ: according to the US Air Force report on the Blue Book project, published in 1976, and according to the interview with the head of the fr. the team for the study of aerospace phenomena "ZHEPAN" by A. Esterlem, published in "Komsomolskaya Pravda" (1981, August 8), it was 20-25%; according to the calculations of V. Migulin, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, posted in the Smena magazine (1985, N4), - from 2 to 10%. According to Colonel Rebrov,A careful study of 550 of the most interesting reports of witnesses of alleged UFOs demonstrated that in 225 situations they became aircraft or satellites, in 211 situations they were debris of various celestial objects, 8 were rejected for other reasons, and only 76 (i.e. 14%) remained unexplained (Magenta Star, 1989, Mar 19) In fact, unidentified bodies are formed very infrequently.
According to American statistics, the chance of a person meeting with a UFO throughout his life is a total of 5%. Everything related to UFOs is so contrary to all established beliefs that many refuse to believe in it. Moreover, tracking UFOs is still limited, however, according to the Gallup University, published in the New York Times (1983, August 15), about 20 million Americans saw various forms of UFO activity, and 80% of the population The United States believes in the presence of such bodies. During the post-war years, over half a million reports of UFO tracking have been collected all over the world, not only on all continents, but also in the oceans, in space and even on the Moon. Naturally, some tracking is not well tested, at times distorted and even falsified.
At the same time, there is a large number of UFO surveys by residents of entire cities, ship commanders, crews and passengers of aircraft, groups of officers or scientific workers, whose objectivity is beyond doubt. There is a sufficient number of documentary evidence of the existence of UFOs: more than 70 thousand photographs, over 120 film documents (in in particular created by automatic devices), many records of photographs and readings created from the screens of radars and tracking stations for satellites, the authenticity of which has been attested. The direct action of UFOs on terrestrial equipment and wildlife was observed, physical signs left by them during landings were repeatedly discovered. All this information demonstrate that UFOs actually exist, that they are not optical deceptions, not illusions or fictions of people who are psychologically unbalanced,looking for cheap fame or yearning for extraordinary events. The tremendous attention among people to the UFO phenomenon is explained by 3 intriguing circumstances that leave a strong impression on witnesses and excite our imagination. As a result of research conducted over the past 40 years abroad and in Russia, it is known that unidentified flying bodies have a whole range of closely unusual properties that are not found either in popular natural phenomena or in technical devices made by human hands.that unidentified flying bodies possess a whole set of closely unusual properties that are not found either in popular natural phenomena or in technical devices made by human hands.that unidentified flying bodies possess a whole set of closely unusual properties that are not found either in popular natural phenomena or in technical devices made by human hands.
At times they have a non-standard specific effect on the environment, technology and people; and finally, their actions sometimes give the impression of clearly reasonable. The study of UFOs is very difficult, since they not only cannot be obtained for detailed research, but it is even unrealistic to predict the time and place of their next generation, because they are constantly formed absolutely amazingly, in the most different areas and more often for a short time in total. Not small difficulties are associated with the fact that it is sometimes very difficult for scientists to distinguish true objective information from subjective and seeming, which is also explained by 3 circumstances:
- first of all, certain facts related to UFO activity look so fantastic that our mind refuses to perceive them as reality;
- secondly, most often there is no possibility of a strong verification of the testimony of witnesses from the standpoint of their reliability;

- thirdly, in foreign ufological books and magazines and in manuscripts created in Russia, sometimes mountains of fiction and fables are placed, mixed with authentic data that wander from one source to another. Moreover, opponents of UFOs, as a rule, quite rightly ridicule such fantastic fabrications and use them as a trump card to discredit the entire difficulty of UFOs in the eyes of the public.
An additional obstacle to the study of UFOs in Russia was the instruction, which was in effect until 1989 in the Department for the Protection of State Secrets in the press, not to publish materials about unidentified flying objects without the permission of the Department of General Physics and Astronomy of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Ned … 1989, N 23), as a result whereby numerous cases of UFO tracking in Russia remained unknown.
It is because of this that most of the examples in this book were taken from foreign sources, which most often fell into our hands with a delay. research on the difficulty of UFOs.
