Anyone interested in the UFO topic has heard of Area 51, an American military base in Nevada, where the remains of all alien vehicles that had the misfortune of crashing in the United States are kept. The USSR had its own analogue of Zone 51 - the closed facility "754". The "flying saucers", "flying cigars" and "flying saucers" that had crashed over the USSR were brought here.
Secret training ground Kapustin Yar
When rocket (not even space) technology was taking its first steps, the question arose of organizing a test site. A lot of space was required. Russia, thank God, is not deprived of territory, and in 1946 the military was allocated a "piece" of 650 square kilometers in the northern part of the Astrakhan region. - Here, train.
The name of the landfill was given by a village on the territory of the landfill - Kapustin Yar. Here, in Cap Yar (as the military is called among themselves), the V-2 captured from the Germans were tested, the first ballistic missiles were launched. The world's first supersonic two-stage intercontinental ground-based cruise missile "Tempest" was launched from here. All missile systems were tested in Cap Yar before entering the troops.
It is clear that the training ground was top-secret, guarded, and officers from morning till night did not tire of reminding the soldiers that "intelligence agencies of all countries of the world are hunting for the secrets of Cap Yar."

Downed "cigar"
In the summer of 1948, a silvery cigar-shaped object was discovered flying over the territory of the polygon. The duty officer received a short "Destroy!" Two jet MIG-15s took off. However, the object was not going to be "destroyed", fired a laser beam and shot down one car. The pilot of the second plane, having laid a turn, came out from under fire and attacked the device. "Cigar" began to smoke and rushed abruptly to the ground.
The soldiers, who were alerted, went to the crash site with the task of catching a foreign spy and military specialists eager to study a sample of enemy spy equipment.
However, upon arriving at the scene, the specialists found that the object had nothing to do with foreign intelligence, since it was itself of extraterrestrial origin. All the wreckage (down to the last splinter!) Was carefully collected and taken to a hangar specially allocated for them on the territory of the landfill. Here the wreck was studied by scientists, trying to uncover the secrets of extraterrestrial structures and technologies.
Legend about the object "754"
Since then, wherever the wreckage of a crashed UFO was found in the USSR, they were sent immediately to Kap Yar. The collection grew and in 1979 they began to build a multi-storey underground bunker at the test site as a platform for military nuclear physicists to test mock warheads of missiles with special ammunition (nuclear charges). Instead of a name, the object received the number - 754.
The bunker took 10 years to build. Reaching a depth of 50 meters, it had several levels, the length of the corridors of each floor is more than 150 meters. To deliver UFO wreckage to the bunker, roads and railways were built. But from above you will only see a mound with ventilation pipes.
Blue package
In the 90s, members of the Ufological Association of Russia tried to find out how much the myth about the bunker "754" corresponds to the truth and sent an official request to the KGB. The request was signed by the chairman of the Ufological Association, pilot-cosmonaut P. Popovich.
Cosmonaut Popovich was a supporter of the existence of UFOs (he saw it himself) and since 1984 was a member of the commission on anomalous atmospheric phenomena of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and with the emergence of the UFO association he became its chairman.
The document signed by the USSR cosmonaut No. 4 was not dismissed and an envelope with 124 pages of typewritten text was sent. In the 90s, when the country was falling apart, state secrets were distributed in batches to the right and left.
It turned out that the object really exists, and it contains five (!) "Trophy" UFOs in different degrees of preservation: shot down in 1985 in Kabardino-Balkaria, a "saucer" found in 1981 in Kazakhstan, UFO shot down in Kazakhstan in 1992 year, a UFO from Kyrgyzstan (1992), and the wreckage of a crashed "cigar" in Estonia. And a wagon of all sorts of things.
Information is classified
Ufologists have perked up and already dreamed that they would soon see with their own eyes the material evidence of aliens visiting the Earth. However, order in the country was restored faster than they were able to penetrate the secret bunker. All subsequent inquiries of ufologists remained unanswered, and the "blue packet" itself was declared a fake.
Today, Kapustin Yar, as before a military training ground, a dozen military units are deployed on its vast territory. And somewhere deep underground in the secret bunker "754" there are crumpled UFOs, under the pressure of specialists, gradually giving their secrets to earthlings. And the military, if when they are asked a question about the object "754", shortly answer: "There will be no comments."
