Residents of the Kirzhach region periodically see … UFOs. For example, according to the assurances of witnesses, unusual lights can be observed over the so-called "Gagarin forest". It was in this place that the world's first astronaut crashed. About unidentified flying objects and versions of the death of Yuri Gagarin
VALENTINA IVAKINA, CORRESPONDENT:
What happened over this forest in 1968 is still a mystery. During this time, dozens of assumptions were put forward - what exactly could have caused the collapse of the "Gagarin MIG". But lately, the media has increasingly featured the option that was previously simply rejected because of its absurdity.
Here and there, a version flashes - Gagarin collided with a UFO. The most common scenario looks like this: in the air, the plane unexpectedly came across a white spot of light. Trying to dodge, blinded, Yuri Alekseevich went downstairs. Maybe it would have been, but the height sensors failed - for some reason they showed a value twice the actual value. As a result, the Gagarin MIG at a full speed of 1100 kilometers per hour entered the Kirzhach land.
GALINA KOZHENOVA, EMPLOYEE OF THE MEMORIAL TO GAGARIN YA.:
Well, in the village they heard that there was a very strong explosion. The blow was very strong.
According to local residents, you can still stumble upon the remains of the pilots in the forest. However, people look at the sky here more often than at their feet. And even those who do not believe in the version about aliens.
VLADIMIR RIPOV, MONITOR OF THE MEMORIAL TO GAGARIN:
This is how I observe it. At night, a stoker, you might say. Maybe something - no, nothing unusual.

In the forests near the village of Novoselovo, there probably is not even a piece of land left where Maxim Kozhenov's foot would not have set foot. For the past ten years, he has been engaged in tracking and observing what he considers to be alien ships. It all started 10 years ago. Sitting on the roof of the shed, the boy saw an unusual glow in the starry sky. The lights were going to land somewhere in the area of the "Gagarin field". Without hesitation, Maxim ran into the forest.
MAXIM KOZHENOV, AMATEUR UFOLOGIST: I
ran there and already saw a bright glow. But you know what kind of glow - there is no such light here on earth, there is no such light. It was about 10-15 minutes, and then it somehow disappeared.
In the morning, the young ufologist again went to the forest - in search of a landing site.
MAXIM KOZHENOV, AMATEUR UFOLOGIST:
There really were outlines, I found one clearing. And the grass was crushed.
According to Maxim, strange lights can often be seen in these parts. Therefore, the assumption that the cause of the death of Gagarin was precisely the UFO does not seem so absurd to him.
By the way, representatives of the organization "Cosmopoisk" promised to visit Kirzhach land with a check already this month. Interestingly, they are engaged in collecting evidence of the existence of UFOs.
