Long famous for its legends and traditions, the Ural Territory also serves as a place of attraction for unidentified flying objects. Numerous eyewitnesses become witnesses of their appearance almost every month.
Curious chronicle
In 2010 alone, residents of settlements, as well as Ural air defense tracking stations, noted 48 cases of unusual objects flying and hovering in the sky. The peak in the frequency of such phenomena occurred in May and August last year. UFOs were repeatedly spotted over Zlatoust, Nizhny Tagil, Sterlitamak, Krasnoturinsk and Ivdel.
A resident of Chelyabinsk, Dmitry Fedorovich Marushev, who has been studying the Ural UFO phenomenon during the last quarter of the lawsuit, has made an interesting chronicle of the visits of space guests to the Urals over the past 100 years. According to Marushev's data, the most productive years for l and visits were the years: 1941 (autumn-winter), 1958-1959, 1963 and 2010. After analyzing the situation, Dmitry Fedorovich linked such events with the fact that: in 1941, the construction of numerous evacuated enterprises began in the Urals; and in 1958-1959, Soviet nuclear weapons were tested; in 1963 a series of earthquakes occurred in the south of the region.
Something similar to the activation of UFOs, as follows from the historical chronicles, was also happening in the 18th century, when the mining business began to vigorously develop in the Urals. So, in 1720, the clerk of a mine in Verkhoturye, a certain Ivan Zalomov, wrote to the office of the mining district about the appearance on / 1 of the mines entrusted to him with fireballs, which "extremely confuse the working people." In 1748, St. Petersburg had to report to the mayor of Tobolsk, whose inhabitants, worried about flying "fire demons", almost started a riot.
The revival of UFO flights in 2010 is attributed by Marushev to the increase in the geological activity of the Ural Mountains. According to the researcher, the famous Stone Belt has entered the next phase of growth, which will cause powerful earthquakes - they should be expected in the near future.

Restless XXI century
According to Dmitry Marushev, the activation of UFOs in the region began in 2001. This is confirmed by numerous testimonies of local residents. So, on New Year's Eve 2001, heavenly visitors were seen at once in three settlements of the Urals. In particular, for more than half an hour, a black disc-shaped object roamed the sky over Irbit, in the Sverdlovsk region, making intricate maneuvers and emitting short light pulses. Above the settlement of Sibirka in the Chelyabinsk region, the rotating "star" for 15 minutes either approached the ground or receded, turning into a point shimmering with greenish light.
On the same night, a cigar-shaped object was hanging over Nizhniy Tagil for several hours, flashing with multi-colored lights.
In the summer of 2002, a resident of the village of Molebka, located in the famous Perm anomalous zone, Vladislav L., with a video camera, went into the forest to shoot the only cedar tree in that area. While filming, he noticed some movement nearby. Moving his gaze, Vladislav saw a large black sphere hanging one and a half meters above the ground.
When the man tried to fix the object on a video camera, the sphere disappeared, and after a few seconds it appeared at a farther distance. Vladislav went in the direction of the object that interested him, but suddenly he ran into an invisible wall - something did not allow him to take another step. At that moment, the young man suddenly felt such a severe headache that it darkened in his eyes. When Vladislav came to his senses, the mysterious sphere in the forest was gone.
A very strange incident happened in 2007 with Nikolai T., who worked in one of the farms near Krasnoturyinsk. One of the August evenings, he guarded the harvesters in the field. Around midnight, about 10 meters from Nikolai, a milky-white disc quickly descended. Following this, the man suddenly saw that he was in an unfamiliar place. Dead people lay around on the gray earth - men, women and children, twisted and blue. Among the corpses walked tall - under two and a half meters - creatures in silvery suits, putting some pills into the mouths of the dead. One of the terrible strangers approached Nikolai, who in the next instant lost consciousness …

Waking up only in the morning, Nikolai saw on the field a huge - 30 meters in diameter - round burnt spot. Later, the man found burn marks on his shoulder …
Military and UFO
Perhaps more often than civilians, servicemen of units stationed in the Urals encounter unidentified flying objects. For example, on May 11, 2002 at two hours and five minutes, the radars of the Russian Air Force base located near the city of Serovo detected the appearance of two large groups of UFOs in the sky. On alarm, a link of interceptor fighters was raised, the crews of which, despite the data of electronic location, could not visually detect the intruders. In February 2004, locators of one of the air defense units near Kachkanar noted 14 times the appearance of numerous groups of unidentified objects moving from the border with Kazakhstan to the north during one night. However, the most mysterious event was the UFO disaster that occurred in the Urals in 1980.
It began with the fact that at about midnight on April 14, the radars of the NPO battery of the fourth separate Ural army recorded aerial objects making strange maneuvers over a strategically important area. There was a part of the Strategic Missile Forces and the closed town of Sverdlovsk-45, in which there was an enterprise for the assembly of nuclear warheads. High-altitude fighters MiG-25 PDS flew on the mission, the crews of which were instructed to detect the intruders and force them to land at the military airfield. Soon, the pilots saw two brightly glowing objects, one in the form of a cigar, and the other - a disc-shaped one, which easily evaded pursuit. Having received the order to destroy the objects, one of the fighters fired two homing missiles, one of which hit the target.
The incident was immediately reported to the Central Command Post of the USSR Air Defense Forces. On the same day, a Tu-134 laboratory plane with a special commission flew from Moscow to Sverdlovsk …
One of the participants in that secret search operation recalled that in the taiga, 20 kilometers south of the Verkhoturye regional center, they found a huge disc-shaped apparatus, which, after inspection, was evacuated by helicopters in an unknown direction …
Extraterrestrial anomalies
Some researchers of the Urals believe that most of the legends about dead or unusual places are associated with unidentified flying objects. So, not far from the village of Krivoye Lake rises a mountain, popularly called the Devil's Settlement. Before the revolution, the locals believed that there were demons who often dance at night. Nowadays, many claim that they often see moving lights on the flat top of the mountain, which either soar into the sky, then go up the mountain.
On the Uktus mountains of the Urals there is a point, having fallen into which, according to legend, you can see your previous incarnations. It is curious that the inhabitants of the surrounding settlements several times a year "spot" luminous objects of various shapes above the peaks of these mountains, which seem to be guarding this reserved place.
The Ukhta-Evma road, along which merchants and travelers did not dare to travel without icon-amulets, was notorious for a long time, fearing "demons in the air." Nowadays, motorists often see dancing lights and flashes of light along the road. In the same places, there were cases of mysterious disappearances of people …
UFO in the swamp
In 2012, a strange object was observed in the village of Ashirovo by half of the villagers. The huge object was located at a distance of about ten kilometers from the village. Outwardly, it looked like a train. Residents tried to get closer to the object, but it was in swamps, and it was impossible to reach it by car.
Geopathogenic zone?
Yuri Zavyalov, a local historian from the South Urals, explained why UFOs are seen so often in the Chelyabinsk region. He is sure that the reason should be sought not on other planets, but in the bowels of the Earth.
Most often, strange phenomena can be seen in the so-called geopathogenic zones. In them, a certain spectrum of visible light is acquired by particles heavier than a photon. They break through the thickness of the earth and can create some kind of glow. It is dangerous to stay in such places, the local historian is sure.
“Heart beats, heart rate quickens, blood pressure rises. You just have to get away from that place. Observe animals and trees: where they twist, where they creep, there is a geopathogenic zone,”explained Yury Zavyalov.
It is interesting that such zones with the release of anomalous energy can be of two types. The first - stationary - includes the Bermuda Triangle, where ships and aircraft are constantly disappearing. And in the Kunashak region, most likely, there was a mobile - "wandering" - zone. Here the energy release is fickle. It should be noted that the appearance of abnormal activity can lead to the death of animals and people.
According to ufologist Sergei Shebanov, the region can be considered a “mecca” for ufologists. A large number of anomalous zones are located in the Ural Mountains. In the region, they even noticed a Bigfoot a couple of times, or, in Russian speaking, a goblin. Nevertheless, Shebanov is skeptical about the appearance of UFOs. He put forward his version of the appearance of "luminous balls". The fires in the swamps, which were noticed by residents of the Kunashak region last week, may be the result of the ignition of phosphorus gas. Also in mountainous areas, flying luminous balls can be the result of an optical illusion that occurs due to the refraction of the headlights of a car descending from the mountains.
Sergey Shebanov said that it is not so difficult to prove the presence of a UFO in a particular area. You need to look for traces of landing. If they are not there, then there can be no question of any aliens. You should not give free rein to imagination and indulge in panic.
“It's just that lately people have been watching too many films, reading science fiction. Fear has big eyes. People think that some kind of intergalactic war will begin now,”said ufologist Sergei Shebanov.
For 12 years, not a single case of an alien invasion of the South Urals has been confirmed. However, there is also no evidence of the absence of extraterrestrial activity.
