27-year-old Kemerovo power engineer Pavel Letunov, having arrived on a business trip to Vaganovo and in the morning carrying out the examinations necessary for her to obtain an energy passport at a gas station, took photographs along the way for a report and became an accidental eyewitness of a UFO.
- At 10.58 we, continuing our survey, came to a container with diesel fuel. At 11.00 - we were even closer and were already working a few steps away from her. During this time, it turns out that a UFO flew overhead, - says Pavel. - So that I, like this, earlier, would remember, minute by minute, how my working day went?.. But on August 7 - I remember, because although I did not see the "flying saucer" with my own eyes. But, having made the usual working photography and examined it the next day, when submitting the service report, I realized: I accidentally got into the frame … an unidentified flying object. UFO. Moreover, twice.
In the first frame - when approaching a gas station (Pavel shows) - you can clearly see a black dot high, high in the sky, on which there is no cloud.
The first photo shows a UFO high in the sky and fuzzy
In the second shot, taken just 2 minutes later, this point sharply darted down - to the right. And it hovered (Pavel estimates - at our request - Ed.) About half a kilometer above the ground. Already - like a fantastic spinning top, with a dark pot-bellied bottom and a light, translucent cockpit. Exactly the same as it entered the world tables - catalogs with images of various UFOs - in the form of cigars, triangles, saucers … So, over Kuzbass flew a copy of the "plate" -yula, which the world spotted for the first time in America, 51 years ago ?..
From the terrestrial UFO catalog: it looks like a model under N29 flew over Kuzbass.

- The diameter of the "flying saucer" was, perhaps, 10-20 meters, - suggests Pavel. - But since there was no noise from above, nothing that would immediately attract our attention, it means that the stroke of the "plate" across the sky was smooth … It's a pity that it did not happen to see the "plate" live, like my father in his childhood, how many times he told how they, boys, played football, and a "plate" flew over them and scared everyone … That's why I don't believe now that I also saw a UFO - in the frame, and - I believe. After all, the camera never failed, and I continued to shoot on it that day. Only the sky did not get into the frame anymore.
… In the history of Vaganovo, by the way, as they told "KP" at school, stories about "flying saucers" have been circulating for a long time. Children bring them to school at least once every few years. But usually the Vaganovites remember the UFO village that has chosen them as a blinding ball. And now, it turns out, a classic alien model flew by …
What could it be?
Kemerovo scientists, having examined the footage made by engineer Letunov, calling them "very curious", nevertheless put forward three earthly versions.
It could be a cloud. But Pavel Letunov assures that the sky was cloudless. And where did you see the cloud to change direction so rapidly?
It could have been a weather balloon. However, Galina Peregorodtseva, an employee of the Kemerovo airport meteorological station, assures: “We are the only ones who launched weather probes. But they were last launched … in 1999. So your UFO signal is not related to the weather probe."
It could have been debris from space. However, the head of the press service of Roscosmos, Alexei Kuznetsov, assures that the launch of Proton-M with spacecraft was made from Baikonur on August 6, at 23.31 Moscow time (Kuzbass time, it turns out, it was already August 7, half past three in the morning). And Pavel shot an incomprehensible object in the sky of Kuzbass on August 7 in the afternoon. Consequently, these two events are not connected in any way. And even the spacecraft from this launch, which due to failure, could not be put into orbit, according to Kuznetsov, have nothing to do with Kuzbass. They still fly outside the atmosphere, in space. And they won't fall to Earth.
