What does science say about the problem of aliens from space? In recent years, scientists have seriously discussed at symposia the problem of paleovisite, i.e. visiting of our planet by astronauts of other worlds in the past. But they decided that it was premature to assert that the guests from the depths of the stars visited the Earth.
People of science themselves need to see and "touch" a stellar alien, read and comment on their message to the people of the Earth, at worst, hold in their hands an object that would bear the mark "made in the stars." But so far this is unrealistic.
The idea that our planet was visited by humanoids of a highly developed civilization is as old as the world. It arose from such a simple idea: for centuries people dreamed of flying into the sky, reaching the moon and stars. Naturally, people thought: if we cannot reach the stars yet, then, perhaps, messengers from other worlds have already arrived on Earth, we just need to thoughtfully analyze the ancient manuscripts, carefully look at the strange finds.
The peak of searches came in the middle of the last XX century and continues to this day.
Companion K. E. Tsiolkovsky N. A. Rynin wrote that in legends, tales, even the Bible, if we carefully analyze the texts, we will see that in time immemorial the Earth was visited by astronauts from other worlds. Decades later, the West German expert in rocket and space technology Irene Senger-Bredt asserted the same.
Disputes about the Nazca alien cosmodrome, cyclopean buildings in some countries, about the statues of Easter Island, flying chariots of the Indian epic, about the pyramids of the Old and New Worlds, about giant footprints in the USA, about the Tunguska meteorite in Russia, about the founding of Atlantis, the Sumerian kingdom, Ancient Egypt, the incomprehensible Mayan civilization - the controversy does not subside to this day.
But learned pedants cooled the hot heads of enthusiasts. Stating the following: gods, angels, archangels, legendary heroes, knights, even our dear Baba Yaga (her hut on chicken legs, if you look closely, may resemble the Apollo lunar module) - they all look suspiciously like people with all their virtues and vices, only hypertrophied.
Scientist Karl Sagan in the mid-seventies of the XX century said the following: "… we need something more from the legend than just a story about the appearance of a strange creature that performs amazing deeds and lives in the sky!" On our own behalf, we need to add, from strange finds, we need “something more”, not similar to the work of human hands either in ancient times or now.

Skeptics asked the enthusiasts a childishly naive question: “What do you want to find? Before looking for material traces of astronauts from other worlds, one must at least approximately have an idea of the object in question! After all, you are looking for something, I don't know what and I don't know where!"
The enthusiasts did not give up. Ideally, it would be nice to find the mummified corpse of a star alien, or even better to meet him alive. In a friendly way, shake his hand or whatever replaces it, and introduce him to the general human public. But not yet.
From the material traces, it is desirable to find the interstellar ship itself with a message to earthlings! At worst, "bolts-cogs" from him, lost by alien astronauts.
But they did find it! An incomprehensible Salsburg parallelepiped, strange balls, wire in the thickness of the Stone Age, an iron nail in the Cretaceous period.
Numerous rock paintings of creatures in spacesuits with antennas, objects resembling our first artificial satellite of the Earth, etc., etc., were presented to the court of science. One of the latest finds is an aluminum hatchet several million years old.
Skeptics sarcastically asked: did the star aliens with this hatchet hunt mammoths or did they build a cedar hut?
The explanation for such finds should be different, earthly - remember the geniuses: Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Lomonosov, etc. Unfortunately, we do not know the inner world of alien astronauts, as well as the appearance, and we do not need to extrapolate our worldview to stellar aliens !
What to do? Put an end to the search for traces of alien astronauts! Wait with folded hands when they arrive, or prepare for the flight ourselves ?! But this is when we can still …
Serious scientists - our compatriot I. S. Lisevich and foreign K. Sagan - gave the enthusiasts sensible advice: they say, it is desirable to find in ancient texts or find something material - completely unlike anything on Earth, that is, an artifact or its description in the text. And do you know, there is something similar in the solid work of our scientist Yu. N. Morozov. But about his find below. Let's start by looking at an Australian legend.
Long ago, two men and one woman, in search of food and water, went to the sunset through the great desert. One man went far ahead. At the edge of the desert near a large white tree (similar in description to a pyramidal poplar), the traveler fell dead. People saw a black creature with red eyes grab the man and throw him into the hollow. Then people heard a deafening rumble of thunder in the clear sky. The giant tree rose from the ground on the roots of fire and flew through the air. Finally, it reached the beginning of the heavenly road that leads to where the gods live (the southern part of the Milky Way). Gradually the tree disappeared from view, and only sparkling lights burned in the sky. These were the eyes of the spirit of death. Here is the crux of the matter. Isn't the launch of the spaceship a legend? “Tall white tree” isn't it a rocket at launch in a desert area? The crew member is "a black creature with red eyes," so to speak, an albino, on the contrary. Albinos have very pale skin and glow red eyes. On the ground.
So, the crew member drags the earthling through the hatch, "hollow", into his ship. The rocket starts. And one more detail in the legend is key for us: instead of a rocket that disappeared in the sky, sparkling lights are visible in the sky. Whoever watched the launches of spaceships, even on television, knows that, yes, trails of fire are visible, although the rocket itself has disappeared from sight.
The savage could not invent such a thing. He saw it with his own eyes.
Where did the “black creature” with red eyes flew to? The southern base of the Milky Way is the constellation Southern Cross.
Now about the find on the territory of our country, mentioned by the scientist Yu. N. Morozov. At the end of the last century, just before the restructuring and reforms, in a quarry where clay was mined, an excavator bucket brought a slightly flattened 88x85 mm ball to the surface from an eight-meter depth. Its material resembled smoky glass and is very durable. Out of curiosity, the excavator tried to break the ball against the bucket tooth, but in vain. He took the find home. For a while I tried to open the ball. And what if - a treasure ?! But the ball didn't budge. The excavator threw him into the barn. Then, when putting things in order in the household, he again stumbled upon it and presented it to a neighbor's boy, the son of the director of a local museum. Let the kid play. So the ball fell into the hands of scientists. But time went on.
The results of research on a strange find - an artifact - are presented in the report of I. G. Petrovskaya, D. A. Menkova and V. N. Fomenko have not been published yet. But with a handwritten report by Yu. N. Morozov, it seems, got acquainted. Here is what he himself wrote: "X-ray photography showed that inside the ball there is a container of the original form." An analysis of the angular and linear dimensions of the ball and the internal capacity led to the conclusion that the unknown designer used not a decimal number, like we did, but a twenty-quarter number system, which was not and is not used in any culture known to us.
An attempt to determine the density of the internal container, proceeding from the position of the center of gravity of the ball, ended in an absolute surprise. Calculations gave … negative density! Antimatter? Unbelievable, but it is a fact!
“The clay layer from which the ball was removed was about ten million years old. Therefore, it cannot be the fruit of human hands. But its artificial nature is obvious."
What is the purpose of the ball? According to scientists, the unusual ball is possibly the storage of energy reserves for the starship.
What conclusion can you come to? Yes, legends and myths contain grains of evidence that aliens have visited Earth. Their traces must be sought. Including on the territory of our country. But who will undertake this from us now ?! There is no money for anything! According to unofficial data, they are going to close the main observatory of the country. And the Pulkovo Observatory, according to the American astronomer Benjamin Gould, is the astronomical capital of the world. And it is cut off from electricity for debts. What kind of funding is there for the search for traces of alien astronauts or artifacts!
But let's be optimists, let's wait until better times! We can advise descendants: in the future, fly to the stars of the Southern Cross or to Orion, to the star Sirius. There you will be able to get in touch with brothers in mind!
