In September 1996, a film crew from the Japanese television company NHKTTC worked in the area of the Polish port city of Gdynia. Japanese TV crews came to the Polish seaside in order to cover the events of almost forty years ago, connected with the alleged fall of UFO wreckage in the Gdynia harbor and the subsequent discovery of a half-dead humanoid
Those old events are still shrouded in mystery. It is characteristic that neither the date nor the month is known exactly when this incident happened, which went down in the history of ufology as the Gdynia incident. So, ufologists Bronislav Rzhepetskiy and Krzysztof called Infantry January 21, 1959; Hillary Evans and John Spencer in their UFO Encyclopedia - February 21; Eric de Vincent-Martin in UFOs, 1947-1987 - May 21.
However, we will follow the dating accepted among Polish ufologists, since the first publication about the event, according to their data, appeared in the Gdansk newspaper "Evening of the Coast" on January 23, 1959. It said; “This morning we received intriguing information by phone.
Our correspondent in Gdynia said that the readers of Vecherka Pan Wlodzimierz and Mrs Jadwiga Plonczker, who live in Gdynia, saw a flying saucer in the northwestern part of the sky at 6.05 am. The object was large in size, orange in color with a pink border around its outline. After a short period of time, the "plate" disappeared behind the neighboring houses, leaving no trace in the sky. We leave this information on the conscience of the Plonchkers. At the same time, we ask everyone who may have also seen the "plate" to notify us about it."
The next day, the same newspaper published a note "Plate" or a meteorite? A mysterious object fell into the sea. " It reported that docker Jan Blok noticed “a large object descending from the sky. This "something" turned red and fell with a noise into the water near the Polish pier. " Blok later clarified: “It happened on January 21 early in the morning. I worked unloading the steamer Dombrovsky. At that very moment I bent down to bring the crane slings into the hold, and when I straightened up, a blinding red light struck my eyes … The huge "something" that flew almost over my head was rather pink, and a short fiery a broom-shaped train. When I came to, this thing had already disappeared into the water."
The Gdańsk evening newspaper also cited testimonies of dock workers Jan Roczynski and Tadeusz Mikusiński, as well as crane operators Stanislaw Kolodziejski and Władysław Kuczyński. They also talked about a strange object falling from the sky, gradually changing its color from pink to red. The object fell into the water with a violent splash.
What did the divers find?n
At the initiative of the editorial board and with the assistance of the port administration, attempts were made to find the fallen object and raise it to the surface. Bohdan Karczewski from the Gdynia Center for Underwater Operations, Frantisek Bogushevich from the team of the Tumak tugboat and a brigade of military divers went under the water. From that moment on, history began to lose its original openness and transparency. The newspaper began to darken, either claiming that nothing had been found, then making vague hints: "The diver noticed something at the bottom that intrigued all of us extremely."
It is not known what exactly the divers raised from the bottom of the harbor. Various sources speak either of a piece of bent charred metal, or of metal fragments of a strange appearance and even more strange composition, but there is no official information on the findings of divers to this day. Unofficially, enthusiastic researchers expressed the opinion that these could be fragments of bombs and shells or even an iron-nickel meteorite. However, it is difficult to believe that the military would hide the fragments of the meteorite from the public.
Engineer Alois Dat also mentioned a flattened transparent foil container found by divers, filled with a heavy, rust-colored liquid. And ufologists Ion Hobana and Julien Veverberg in their work "UFOs from behind the" Iron Curtain "write that there was not the slightest trace of corrosion on the raised debris. In the course of their research, some of the material was lost.
An alien from the sea
The incident developed unexpectedly. A few days after the fall of the "meteorite", some soldiers, whom de Vincent-Martin calls "guards" in his book, while walking around the city beach in Gdynia, stumbled upon an unusual male creature. It could hardly move on the sand, crawling, obviously with its last strength, and did not speak any of the languages known to the border guards. His condition was very deplorable.
The face of this creature, like a little man, was badly burned. His body was tightly wrapped in a jumpsuit, reminiscent of a scuba diver's wetsuit, only made of some heavy-duty metal-containing material.
The mysterious creature was taken to the clinic of the University of Gdansk, or, according to other sources, Gdynia itself. There he was subjected to research, first of all paying attention to the unusual hands, on which there were six fingers. It would be appropriate to recall here that aliens from a UFO that crashed in 1947 near Roswell, USA had the same hands. The feet of the Gdynian stranger were also six-fingered. It was possible to undress the humanoid only with the help of special tools. When the bracelet, which hardly served as an ornament, was removed from the creature's hand, his health began to deteriorate sharply. A couple of days later, the little man died. Either because of the strong internal injuries received during the fall, and a complete breakdown, or because the bracelet was removed from his hand.
De Vincent-Martin claims that the remains of the mysterious creature were sent to the Soviet Union under heavy protection and there they were subjected to thorough and comprehensive research, the results of which are still classified. De Vincent-Martin's version is not unfounded, since such an event could not fail to interest the KGB and the GRU of the USSR, and in those days in the Warsaw Pact countries the wishes of these organizations were fulfilled without question. However, Polish ufologists have not found confirmation of this version, so they believe that the remains of the alien may still be stored in the morgue of one of the Tricity clinics.
(Tricity is an agglomeration in the north of Poland. Consists of Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia, as well as several smaller cities. - Ed.).
The truth is somewhere near
According to ufologist Robert Lesnya-kevich, such a scenario is possible for the January 1959 events. Early in the morning in the sky over the Gulf of Gdansk near the mouth of the Vistula, an unknown object was spotted by means of detection of air defense of Poland and the USSR. He did not answer the request of the "friend or foe" system, and then he was hit by a rocket. The UFO began to fall apart, but its pilot managed to eject. What fell into the water in the area of the fourth berth of the port of Gdynia was either the seat of the alien pilot or his escape pod. It was she who found the divers of the Polish Navy.
And during the work of the Japanese TV crew from NHKTCC, an interesting fact surfaced. There was evidence that the ufonaut was found not on the city beach and not by border guards, but by guards near the building in which the naval port administration was located and which is located on the territory of this port. In 1999, a version emerged that the Poles found and picked up not one, but two humanoids who made up the crew of the downed UFO. The first of them fell out of the escape capsule over the Gulf of Gdansk and managed to swim to the city beach, or was carried there by waves. The second alien, along with the capsule, fell into the water near the fourth berth, emerged from it to the surface and reached the sandy shore in front of the naval port administration building.
The search for truth continues. As the editor-in-chief of the Czas UFO magazine Bronislav Rzhepetskiy says: “Such cases have to be unraveled for years. Sometimes the truth comes out only after decades."
