The Ministry of Defense said this week that "Russian ground control systems for spacecraft are not yet ready to take control of UFOs." True, the military explained, this task is not being set now.
While on alert, they prefer to watch large space bodies heading in our direction. Like an asteroid that flew dangerously close to Earth last week, or a Chelyabinsk meteorite - the remains of which were raised on Thursday from the bottom of Lake Chebarkul.
For scientists, 20 kilograms of a celestial body became a gift for the International Space Week. The rest got the stories of Chebarkul divers about some mystical forces that prevented them from getting close to the meteorite. About little green men who tried to get on a visit on such a simple transport.
Unidentified, luminous - in the sky over Irkutsk. Night shooting from Yekaterinburg also excites the imagination. Incomprehensible balls over Moscow, Novosibirsk, Astrakhan … Videos on the Internet not only from Russia - from all over the world: it seems that way: the Earth is being studied as if under a microscope.
The place near Kirov, says Albert Khlyupin, in general is an anomalous zone, it simply attracts UFOs. A paleontologist by profession, in recent years he has been increasingly busy with something else - hunting for aliens. With a camera he leaves the city and guards the aliens. We managed to remove something. True, the quality is not very good. But once, he says, although he did not see the unidentified, he heard it, so he remembered it for the rest of his life.
“A very strong hum, it seems like the sound of a jet plane. There are no planes, absolutely clear skies. And when we got here, the hum stopped abruptly. And silence. And underground the impression is that the hatch has collapsed,”- says the director of the Vyatka paleontological museum, photographer, UFO hunter Albert Khlyupin.
“On the other side, from the road, a few trees are silently flying higher, so luminous. Last year I saw Polina. She says: Ning, this is your roof, this is some kind of star. I say - nothing is a star,”says Nina Shchennikova.
Many residents of the neighboring village are already accustomed to what is said to be a turbulent neighborhood. They fly so often that they seem to be about to land.

Scientist Yuliy Platov has closed the topic of UFOs for himself today. Looking at videos on the Internet, she smiles: nothing new. For 13 years he worked in a special expert group for the study of anomalous phenomena. Everything that the inhabitants of the Soviet Union saw and took for a UFO, he checked. Thousands of testimonies and everything, he says, was explained by science. The most common optical illusion is associated with special flying research balloons. They are often mistaken for alien ships.
"This structure has a diameter of several hundred meters, up to 600-700, it is observed when illuminated by the sun, when the sun stops illuminating, the impression is like an instant disappearance", - says the candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, leading researcher at the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Propagation radio waves of RAS Julius Platov.
But all the scientific rationale, and the jokes of skeptics, turn into only a serious dispute between ufologists, and UFO again attracts impressionable ones: what if they really kidnap? Demand creates supply: museums, excursions … It seems that it is only one step to insanity. Want to meet aliens? Please - there are instructions on the Internet.
“There are quite aggressive types of aliens. And then there is a basic rule: not to enter into any negotiations and not give consent to any experiments,”advises the ufologist, director of the Kharkov Planetarium and the UFO Museum Galina Zheleznyak.
To meet with an alien mind, your own, of course, must be prepared. Galina Zheleznyak, an astronomer and ufologist from Kharkov, reads such a short course - something like an intergalactic OBZH - during an excursion to the planetarium, where, of course, there is an exposition dedicated to humanoids. Although the best thing for such a meeting, it seems, is preparing feature films, after seeing which, you will not be surprised at anything.
But in many ways, it is films, psychologists say, and make people look for confirmation of something alien on Earth and of course try to uncover a conspiracy. For example, ufologist Scott Waring saw an alien … - no, not in the President of the United States - in a security officer. He, as the skeet specialist suggests, does not guard Obama at all, but telepathically sends a signal to talk about. In general, when here it is - amazing next: in the sky, on the Internet, on television screens, you certainly want to touch yourself.
In the video about the alien posted on the Internet, many really believed it. Its author - a resident of Buryatia - then admitted himself: he made an alien out of dough and chicken. The Chinese Farmer used noodles to cook his humanoid. After he published the pictures on the Internet with the comment that he had killed the alien at his station, he had to make excuses to the police.
But, perhaps, one of the very first and high-profile deceptions is the story of the crash of an alien spacecraft in the American city of Roswell in 1947. Newspaper articles. Photos. Then there was even a video, on footage - an autopsy of the alien's body. And even when it was recognized that this was a falsification, extraterrestrial glory had already been entrenched in the city.
“That's what is curious - this is a small town, there is simply nothing to look at. Except for objects related to UFOs. Museum, festivals. Such UFO tourism brings a good income there. But if you look at what really happened? The collapse of the facility occurred in 1947. And then a meteorological balloon crashed - a secret project "Mogul". when this thing crashed, everyone blamed on aliens,”says psychologist Benjamin Radford.
Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev holds the record for being in space. He says that for more than 800 days I have not seen the aliens. And he adds: this does not mean at all that they do not exist. In such an unearthly question, it always seems: someone is not saying something.
“When they began to work more closely with the Americans, already in an informal atmosphere, they asked them questions: guys, your astronauts flew to higher orbits, flew to the Moon, did they see anything there? They say: no, we did not see - we have conversations that we fly short, and the Russians fly for a long time - they saw. That is, everyone pointed at each other, but with closer communication it turned out that there is no reliable evidence of this on either side,”says the cosmonaut, head of the Federal State Budgetary Institution“Research Testing Center for Cosmonaut Training. YA Gagarin”Sergey Krikalev.
Of course, one would like the UFOs to appear to be alien ships at first glance, but these are either airplanes, or a rare natural phenomenon, or just a rich imagination. Of course, it is foolish for earthlings to believe that they are alone in the universe, because in reality, who knows how it is?
