Something was hanging in the air, glowing rings revolving around it. Then it turned around and flew away towards the east.

I was watching a movie when I caught a glimpse of a strange object moving to the west out of the corner of my eye. I approached the window to take a closer look. It was shining with white lights. It looked like a rectangle, but a glowing ring of the same color was revolving around it. I wanted to record a video, but my phone ran out of battery. While I was looking for another phone, the object disappeared behind the house, and I couldn't capture it on camera. In the next few minutes, my cats seemed to fall into a trance and did not react to external stimuli. Soon they started behaving as if nothing had happened. I didn't see anything strange anymore.

(I will write in Russian because I cannot fully describe everything in English)



Я смотрел фильм когда краем глаза увидел в окне странные объект движущийся на запад. Я подошел к окну что бы рассмотреть его поближе. Он сиял белыми огнями. Он выглядел как прямоугольник, однако вокруг него вращалось светящееся кольцо такого же цвета. Я захотел записать видео, но мой телефон разрядился. Пока я искал другой телефон объект скрылся за домом и я не смог запечатлеть его на камеру. В следующие несколько минут мои кошки словно впали в транс и не реагировали на внешние раздражители. Вскоре они стали вести себя как нивчем не бывало. Больше я не видел ничего странного.

The several white ovals

I have prepared a report on a UFO that I witnessed on January 21, 2024 at approximately 1:05 p.m. I was on the University Embankment in St. Petersburg on the opposite side of building 17 and above the Academy of Arts I saw a bright white oval appearing in the sky for 2 seconds. Walking further along the embankment, I looked at the Hermitage building and at approximately 13:09 I observed the sudden appearance of a white bright oval above the Hermitage building, which was similar to the description of a “flying saucer” in the form of a bright white oval. I watched as an oval of white light appeared for 2 seconds above the Hermitage building and then disappeared and the same oval appeared again on the right a few seconds later at some distance from the first appearance and also disappeared after 2 seconds. We can immediately say that I witnessed some movement in the sky above the Hermitage of an oval of white light, which coincides with evidence of the appearance of “flying saucers”. I looked further into the sky above the Hermitage and saw that under the disappearing ovals of white light many bright small white lights appeared that looked like stars. There were a large number of such lights, at least 7 such lights of white light, which appeared for a few seconds and also disappeared. After the white lights disappeared, a black spot of indeterminate shape appeared, which also disappeared in a couple of seconds. I remained in the same place on the embankment and at approximately 13:19 I saw again the appearance of a bright white oval above the building of the Academy of Arts, which also disappeared in 2 seconds. I looked again at the Hermitage building and saw an oval of white light appear again, which also quickly disappeared. The ovals of white light that appeared over the Hermitage were very similar to the description of “flying saucers”. Actually, that's all I saw that day.

They were about 10-15 lights. Shape of L or something like this. Separated little lights. Moved fast, no sound, high

I was looking at the sky. It was about 10 pm. I was standing with two other people, they didn’t see because when I saw this it was moving too fast and other people couldn’t notice. I saw something with my side sight. I started looking carefully and fast, first thought it was a shooting star. I realized I was seeing about 10-15 little lights in a shape of L or Г and they were very fast. The speed was like a shooting star. They disappeared fast above the roof of the neighbors’ house.

3 objects, one smaller than others. 2 giant circles had purple lights on the edges. Perhaps for hypnosis.

I remembered that in the summer of 2021, halfway going home, deciding to look at the sky, I saw a spaceship, big, it wasn't an typical ufo. And it was high up above the surface. In space.
I couldn't tear my eyes away from the shock. I was looking at the northern part of the sky, slightly to the east, and near the zenith.
Looking at the object, I realized that there are objects much larger around it, in the shape of a circle, but most likely due to the effect of light absorption (they were dark in color) were difficult to distinguish, the first object I saw reflected sunlight well, and had white color.
In front of this object, let's call it the first, space began to diverge, I saw a curvature like black holes, but inside there was not a dark void, but something like a purple glow, and along with this, the other two objects, dozens of times larger than the first, began to shine with lights located on the edges of the circle, the same violet- pinkish light.
Before that, small ships flew around them, small ships moved quickly and seemed to be scouting the surface of the planet from a height. The objects themselves moved slowly. The other two huge objects were invisible until they began to shine with lights. After watching the violet light for some time, I forgot about everything, I don't remember how I got home, and I remember that I lived as if it had never happened, until the moment of remembering, in the February of 2022, after the association.
I think the purple light "erased" my memory, and not only me, the object was huge, and I think it was visible all over Asia, and in Alaska

moving light, radiant balls going up and down, flashes in the sky

The sky was covered with clouds, so everything I saw was behind the clouds. I saw a small light that gradually approached and started to shine a bit more intensely. Then immediately on a short distance from the light I saw the immediate large flash of light (like we see the switch on the current). It was like 3 times that way: it switched on and off. Then, when it stopped, there were series of radiant balls appearing and going up to a certain point (by 3) and down, disappearing in the sky. It was like 10 minutes that way. It stopped for about 10 minutes. Then in another part of the sky I again saw a small light that started to shine a bit more intensely. There was a large flash of light in that part of the sky and it moved to another part of the sky where there were radiant balls 10 minutes ago. After that I stopped observation and went back home. There were other witnesses with me.

Square formation of 4 red lights outside the house

I live in the countryside in European part of Russia (Komi Republic).

05/06/20 at ~2 am I was sitting on the bed using my phone, with my night lamp turned on. My room is on the 2nd floor, and it was dark outside at that moment. The windows with low window sills are on the other side of the room.

I noticed lights behind my windows (where they shouldn’t be) and looked. There were 4 big red lights forming a square + multiple other lights of different color (white was there for sure). This whole configuration was steady and falling down fast, and I’ve been seeing it for only 1.5-2 seconds maybe, but I think I caught it distinctly, and it was quite big.

Seeing that, I thought I see some small aircraft crashing near my house, even though it’d unexpected location and time for it to happen (at first, there is overall very small aircraft activity near my city). I took my headphones off, there were no sounds.

This is the angle I saw my room from: It was darker outside than it’s in the photo. The arrow shows the direction of the fall.

It was hard to determine size and distance, and I didn’t see a form of the object, only lights. I don’t think it could be bigger than a car. Outside the window there is transmission line in 15 feet, then rare trees, then the road (30 feet from the window). It looked like it was at the road distance.

I emailed a photo of my room from the needed angle. I showed the location of the object and the direction of the fall. Also a part of the map.

After I saw it, I got spooked for some reason and stayed in bed. In 15-20 minutes looked out of the window, didn’t notice anything odd. In the morning checked the area outside. It’s a shame I got scared and didn’t look out the window the moment it happened.

I’ve been trying to find some mundane explanation for this situation.

* There is a road outside my house, but vehicles are rare at night and don’t leave any light reflections in my room. Only snow removal machines are the noticeable ones: loud, shiny, and leave a lot of light over the wall. Anyway, the snow is long gone. Moreover, I clearly saw something outside, and it left no reflections.

* A drone is highly improbable. I live in the “typical” Russian countryside: it’s not rural, but drones just don’t fly here.

* A sudden visual hallucination? I don’t use any drugs. I was fully awake too.

* There was nothing in my room to cause these lights.

* Could the transmission lines somehow cause it?

The object "descended" to the level of the clouds, paused, and then shot upwards.


It was in November 2019 (Russia, Kamchatka Krai, Elizovsky District, Paratunka Rural Settlement). I was standing at a bus stop, waiting for the bus. The sun had long set. The stars were clearly visible. There was some light cloud cover.

Suddenly, something rapidly descended to the level of the clouds in the west. It paused. If I hadn't seen it descend, I would have thought it was just an ordinary star. In its glow, the object was no different from the visible stars at that time. Neither in size nor in brightness. It looked just like a star. I decided to record it on video, but it was hard to see. Suddenly, the object shot upwards. As if it had never been there. I deleted the video.

The second object appeared closer to the eastern side. It seemed to "fall" to the height of the clouds. It lingered there briefly. And then, in the same trajectory, it suddenly shot upwards.

As far as I know, earthly vehicles cannot move at such speeds. It was an astonishing sight.

In our region, there are sometimes unusual phenomena. But people don't always want to talk about them. They're afraid of being considered crazy.

But I know that we're not alone in the Universe.

A little about myself: I'm a biology and chemistry teacher.

Original report in Russian:

Объект "опустился" на уровень облачности, замер и затем взмыл вверх.

Это было в ноябре 2019 года (Россия, Камчатский край, Елищовский район, Паратунское сельское поселение). Я стояла на остановке и ждала автобус. Солнце давно село. Было хорошо видно звёзды. Была небольшая облачность.
Вдруг на западе что-то быстро спустилось до уровня облаков. Замерло. Если бы я не видела как оно спускалось, то решила бы что это обычная звезда. По свечению объект ничем от видимых тогда заезд не отличался. Ни размерами, ни свечением. Он был как звезда. Я решила снять это на видео, но было плохо видно. Объект вдруг взмыл вверх. Будто его и не было. Видео я удалила.
Второй объект появился уже ближе к восточной стороне. Он будто "упал" на высоту облаков. Прибыл там немного. И по такой же траектории резко взмыл вверх.
Земные аппараты насколько мне известно не могут двигаться с такими скоростями. Это было удивительное зрелище.
В наших краях порой бывают необычные явления. Но люди не всегда хотят об этом говорить. Боятся, что их будут считать сумасшедшими.
А я знаю, что мы не одни во Вселенной.

Немного обо мне: я учительница биологии и химии.

DISCLOSURE: 3 UFOS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KswzrCF-Hho

At 34 secs into the video, 2 BLACK craft can be seen in front of the meteor travelling very quickly at the top of the screen and to the top right above the tree.

At 39 and 40 seconds, another BLACK craft can be clearly seen making a U turn at high speed by the tree to the top right of the screen before quickly flying off.

Who ever made this video was watching the wrong object. I have cross referenced with several other video clips from the News reports and from public recordings. All show the same thing.

This is 100% true disclosure.

We have watched the video, in months past, and it does indeed appear as though there is something traveling ahead of the meteor. We have no explanation for the event. PD

I saw it and it blew seven people's minds!

What you will hear is very true. Today I was on Google earth just looking and then there it was! I Saw a strange clocked Arrow shaped with the clock changing! But there was a huge Hurricane under it. It was over Russia above Pevek.

Then as I still continue to watch it moves over Alaska. It looks to be as Big as Europe as a Whole! I called a friend in the Army and he was at work! I asked if he had access to a pc and he said yes. I told him and sent him a picture from my phone I asked if he would look to see if he could see it from his pc and he said it was not on there! Then I asked if he seen the text? He told me he did but he could not see it at Work!

The clocking it changes as to bend the light of objects around it. It looked like it a craft in front of it in the shape of a left hand in front of it as if pulling it.

A cigar-shaped UFO with the Milky Way in the background

On the night of July 23-24, 2011, over Kulikovo Pole, I observed a silent, dark, cigar-shaped object slowly moving overhead. It featured alternately flashing lights on its rounded ends – one orange, the other blue/azure – with a soft, starlight-like quality. From a distance (both approaching and receding), the object appeared distinctly different: as a pulsating white, elongated figure-eight or infinity symbol shape. The object seemed technological but unlike earthly craft. The object appeared on the horizon, passed directly overhead, and disappeared on the horizon. If I were standing on the path, looking at the Nepryadva River, the Monastyrshchino village would be to my right; the object appeared from over the river and disappeared on the opposite side of the horizon.

12 diamond shaped black craft in the sky.

I was standing on my back porch with my family, all 30 of us, along with 6 neighbors who were at our home for a small get together. As I stood on my porch I noticed a diamond shaped craft fly over the sky. My entire family noticed them then. They were definately diamond shaped, probably 30m in length. They seemed to be black but the color kept changing tint, from dark black to light black to a more metallic black etc. We counted a total of 12 of these craft, and they continued flying in the air where we could clearly see them for at least an hour. It was amazing.

UFOs convoy planes in Moscow

Yesterday 17.08.2006 several people who were flying from Russian town Volgograd to Moscow witnessed quite unusual situation.

The first who noticed IT was Eugenia Kazarinova. She was the first who accidentally photographed invisible UFO that was following the plane. Eugenia Kazarinova saw nothing but a beautiful landscape outside the illuminator, but when she took several photos she noticed strange lights on them. She was worried and showed the photos to other passengers. They began to take photos using their cameras and mobile phones. The strange lights were present on almost all the photos.

The passengers became panic stricken because the lights didn’t look like another plane and couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.

Today experts can’t give any official explanation of this strange phenomenon. Some of them say that it could be the reflection of the plane but the photos reject this hypothesis.

Triangular shaped object off the coast of Sakhalin Island. I'd rather talk to someone about it.

It was quite a boring sighting really but I'd like to know if there have been others of a similar nature. It travelled through the water close to the beach in quite rough seas completely unaffected by the conditions.

Wish I'd had a camera.

Greetings, Dear Peter Davenport!

Pursuant to your request, I hereby submit my description of the UFO:

At approximately 11:00 p.m. (local Omsk time), in October 2002, three objects, in the general form of a triangle, moved across the sky from west to east, and they disappeared, one after the other.

The sighting lasted for 90 seconds. I am unable to send the video footage, since I have engaged in UFO research for quite some time, and I value such video. If you are prepared to purchase the footage, I am prepared to sell. I have three other videos. If we are agreed, then I am prepared to work only with you.

Sincerely,

Strange object glowing like a blue star(but much bigger)

Object glowing like a star(but much bigger) float in the night sky. Then he was moved closer to mi home(building with 4 floor) and I saw another two shining parts of this craft. Also I heard when he was floating over my house strange noise(very soft). I can't describe he shape because lights(which don't blind) cover him like a defense from recognizing. It can't be aircraft. It can't be military secret project(in my opinion). It much bigger than Earth aircrafts or spacecrafts and his lights, they very powerfull(color of lights - blue star).

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Oval object accidentally photographed with APPARENTLY large antenna on one side and fighter jet slung beneath

The "Antenna ship" Hello, Has anyone seen an object like this? Attached are two scans of a photo of a bizarre object I unknowingly (at the time) photographed. I wouldn't have noticed the object except for a relative (who has better close up vision) pointing it out to me.

PLACE: Ryazan, Russia, c 250km SE from Moscow.

DATE & TIME: May 9th 2001, c 9:00 (May 9th is the "Day of Victory" over NAZI Germany holiday in Russia, as this photo was being taken Ryazan's military were preparing for their parade. Ryazan is Russia's West Point or Sandhurst) PHOTOGRAPHY INFO: Kodacolor Plus 200ISO film with full automatic camera focussed on the tree below the object (i.e. at infinity).

The lighting is sharply from the left, from the morning sun on a clear, Spring day.

PHOTO BACKGROUND: Taken from the 1st floor (1st above ground floor) bedroom window of a flat in Ryazan.

The block of apartments on the left is about 15 stories high.

SCAN 1: Highest magnification scan I can achieve. This is a 600DPI scan of an enlargement I got at the local photo shop. Zoom out about three times to see it clearly. I have tried to get some more detail using Paint Shop Pro's photo enhancement tools to enhance contrast.

SCAN 2: the full frame original photo scanned in at 200DPI.

OBSERVATIONS ABOUT OBJECT: I could not say either the distance or altitude of the object from the photo. It appears to be stationery. For what it MAY have been doing hanging there see NOTES ON MY LIFE below.

However IF that is a MiG31 / F15 size fighter slung underneath (see below), then the craft is about 25-30 meters from "prow" to stern, and would be about a kilometer away. This would put it over another residential area of Ryazan.

I have seen many photos of UFOs but nothing like this. This is a very odd object, and to my amateur eye looks like either a HUMAN device or an alien / human hybrid device.

I say that because of the large antenna dish apparent on the right hand side. That just looks very terrestrial tech to me. This dish would also be incredibly un-aerodynamic. There may be another on the right of the high dome (above the command center with windows?) at top of the craft.

I cannot see how the craft could travel at any speed with these large dishes hanging out unless a) the dishes could be retracted during flight or b) the craft utilizes some form of trans-dimensional drive or c) it just flies very slowly.

Also there APPEARS to be a twin finned military fighter jet slung beneath the object (!) like a MiG31 or U.S. equivalent.

Note the ship like "prow" on the craft and the bump above that which reminds me of the active sonar array on the prow of some submarines.

In the 200DPI scan a light "aura" is visible around the craft. I only have "High Color" on my PC and can't say if this is an artifact.

I can’t help but wonder that IF this is a human piloted craft, whether it is being run by Russians (it is on their territory, but I have suffered "phenomena" that may be associated with this craft in many other countries), or if it is being run by Americans, doing a test of their ability to "penetrate" Russian airspace & influence people in that country with the phenomena listed below.

NOTE ON MY LIFE & RELEVANCE to this PHOTO: To my conscious knowledge I only once SAW a UFO from the outside with my own eyes on one occasion prior to photographing this, but that was during a period when I didn't WANT to believe in any such thing and I went inside ignoring it, possibly under a form of mind control.

My son and ex-wife had seen UFOs of the saucer type and also a sharp, black, isosceles triangular craft in the years before this picture was taken near my flat.

I was the subject of an abduction experience when I was six years old. Prior to this I was a very happy, lucky and socially successful person.

My memory of the abduction experience is one of being taken to a round "theatre" like room by a strange, large, being from my bed in our family holiday house. I felt an intense EVIL from the being who abducted me, and a projection of that evil onto me, such as some assaulters project on to their victims.

There were several other similar aliens in the craft. I have no memory of physical examinations. But I do remember they "judged" me and came to some decision about me.

>From that night on I suddenly lost all my good friends. Many were physically taken away. From then on I have lived under a regimen of: constant, strict isolation. The only relationships I am allowed are negative, painful or abusive towards me; despite coming from a very well off family I have been forced to live in poverty, always about 10% below subsistence no matter what I do.

People associated with me are subject to mind control that puts the most awful negative ideas in their heads about me. Those who resists this and wants to be with me is PHYSICALLY removed by various means, often involving third parties interfering.

I have continued to live for the interests that I had from before the abduction: studying the meaning of life and working to help humanity. It is something of a family tradition coming through my father.

WHAT IS RELEVANT TO THIS PICTURE is that during the year before this craft was inadvertently taken, I and the two other occupants of that flat in Ryazan, were subjected to a massive program of attacks: direct energy attacks, such as uncontrollable itching, attacks of needles all over the body, uncontrollable coughing with no infection, incredibly disturbed digestion (including constant flatulence), extreme knife like headaches just for starters.

I never experienced such a "full spectrum attack" since the months after I had left my original home at age 18, several decades ago. That was in another continent away from Russia.

I HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO THESE ATTACKS, just not as concentrated as when I was 18 and in Ryazan, IN EVERY CONTINENT (except Africa and South America where I haven't been). These attacks have followed me wherever I have gone around the world.

I have been assessed by numerous psychological experts and they can find no abnormalities of the mind, except evidence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the horror I have faced since I was six. I am now middle aged and my health is very badly affected.

POSSIBLY identifying this bizarre craft may shed some light on what has been plaguing my life for so long.

All the best to all who seek the truth,

Both photos forwarded to NUFORC look like a black splotch in the sky. The photos are ambiguous, we feel. PD

The crew of an Il-76 cargo aircraft refused to take off, claiming they saw a luminiscent object hovering above the runway of the Siberia's Barnaul airport, local aviation company director Ivan Komarov was quoted as saying. The crew of another cargo plane, refusing to use the runway for the same reason, landed their jet at another airport, Komarov said. The UFO took off and vanished from the airport 90 minutes later, according to the report.

SPACE CIRCUS - Two UFOs were flying toward each other in the space. Before collapse, one stopped, the other made a half circle around.

Around midnight, while vacationing at the farm in Kurilovo, Vladimirsky Region of Russia, I went for a night walk. Once I stopped and looked at the black sky, full of stars. I looked for a minute, admiring the myriads of stars from horizon to horizon.

One light, the size of the average star, appeared to be moving fast enough to catch my attention. I starred at it, thinking first that this is some airplane or a comet. But very soon I noticed, not far from it, the light from another object, which was moving with the same constant speed, straight forward to the first object. They both moved toward each other, being on the same parallel line.

I figured out, that very soon they might hit each other! So I prepared to watch what will happen when they meet front to front, certainly understanding, that the distance between them might be thousands of miles at that moment.

But in two seconds before the possible collapse, or simply crossing each other’s path, the first object, which was moving from East to West, suddenly stopped completely.

But the second object, without making any stops or slowing down, completely changed it course to the South, and made a perfect half circle around the first object.

As soon as the second object returned to the same parallel, but now being behind the first object, this first one immediately moved forward as fast, as it was moving before it, and they both continued to move in the same directions, as they have moved in the beginning.

In a half minute or so, they both moved away from each other and I lost them.

After what I have seen, I decided that UFOs are existed. The flying machines made by us, humans, as I know, can not make a sudden stop in the space, or change direction of flying almost at 90 degrees. Those guys were showing us what they can do, so we should believe in their existence.

I made a graphic design of what I have seen, and published it on internet, to show their movements exactly. The web-site address is:

In an aircraft flying to london on airway A356 over southern russia between reporting points kzo(kyzylorda) and nk(novokazalinsk), speaking to kyzylorda control. Saw an object which we thought was a shooting star to start with but then realised it could not be due to it lasting for 20-30 seconds and then it looked like it vapourised, it was seen at the 2 o clock posn, a bright object with a tailtravelling horizontally. At a distance of 50 miles(at a guess). We were at 35000 ft - ish. It must have been at at least 50 - 60000 ft maybe more. 5 mins later another object (or the same one) was seen at the 3 o clock posn bright with a tail again but moving away from us, this lasted over 2 minutes, during which time an excited controller turned all aircraft off the airway and would not explain the reason.i was wondering if this could be russian rocket research or a shuttle returning?

I saw a gigantic orange ball inside clouds in the dead of night when I was flying to Japan over Russia.

I saw a gigantic orange ball inside the clouds in the dead of night when I was flying to Japan over Russia. As far as I can recall it was the size of a stadium and it was just static in the clouds (some what above them). The orange ball emitted an orange aura and did not move at all. Every body was sleeping on the plane and I was the only witness to this anomaly. At the time I thought it was an atmospheric phenomenon, but now after seeing photos of comparable photos with identical objects being labeled as UFO's, I thought you might be interested in this sighting. I really regretted not having a camera! I'm now studying in Poland, so you can call me here or email me if you have any questions.

A plane like object with abnormal speeds.

I do not remember the exact date and time, as this observation was about 25 years ago at the time of writing this report.

I was definitely conscious and awake. The time was between 8 and 10 am, sunny, no clouds. My bed was near a window facing the east. Opposite my window there is a similar residential building 30 meters away. Visually, as a child, it was difficult for me to determine the height, so I assume from several hundred meters to several kilometers. There was no condensation trail or any noise, as the object was observed not through glass, but through an open window. The object had a fairly low speed, presumably between 15-30 km/h, moving smoothly like a car. Then it stopped and hung in the air for 10-30 seconds. After that, without gradually gaining speed, the object rushed towards the west at lightning speed.

There is a possibility that it was a carrier-based fighter with vertical takeoff and the ability to stop during flight. However, I don’t understand what he was doing right above the capital, flying (in my opinion) at pretty low altitude and how he instantly flew away without acceleration.

Flying Apparatus

I want to tell my story about how I saw a UFO. This happened to me when I was 14 years old, and now I am 42. A lot of time has passed, and I always wanted to share it with like-minded people, and now I found you. In general, it happened at the summer house; my father and I were standing outside looking at the stars in August in Saratov, Russia, where you can observe meteor falls from the sky. It was around 1:00 AM. The neighbors were already asleep. You could hear the crickets chirping in the night silence. My father and I saw a meteor fall, and in the same second, a large flying apparatus appeared above us out of nowhere, resembling a black airplane with small square wings about 5x5 meters, without visible engines or sounds. From below, something that looked like a lantern was visible. It hovered above us for about 10 minutes. I tried to establish contact, started shouting and greeting them, which you could say was childish of me! My father got scared, grabbed me, and covered my mouth with his hand, dragging me into the house and hiding me in a dark corner. He was evidently afraid that we might be taken or something else, maybe shot at with a laser or something like that. I told my father, "Dad, this happens once in a lifetime. I will stay silent in the shadows; let's go watch." He seemed to become curious too. We went out of the house. The object continued to hover over the summer house by the road. It stayed for another 5 minutes after we came out and slowly began to move along the road towards the neighboring summer house, flying about 50 meters. It flew for about 10 minutes over that distance. I should note that there were no engines. There were no lights from the flying apparatus visible; my father and I physically felt nothing. After flying 50 meters, it changed its angle towards the sky by 45 degrees and disappeared, leaving behind a shadowy trace that we saw because the moon was shining brightly, and we had a lantern at our summer house. The ship was 20-25 meters long. It was cigar-shaped with square wings and a small tail at the back. The only physical sensation I experienced was that the hair on my arms stood on end; I think it was from emotions! That's my story, and it's not the only one! I am a person of anomalies; I have had two more such cases. I have also seen a house spirit!

Я хочу рассказать свою история, как Я увидел НЛО. Это произошло со мной когда мне было 14 лет сейчас мне 42 года. Прошло много времени все хотел поделится с единомышленниками и вот нашел Вас. В общем дело было на даче, мы с отцом стояли смотрели на звезды в августе у нас в Саратове РФ с неба можно наблюдать падения метеоритов. Время было около 1:00 ночи. Соседи уже все спали. Слышно было как сверчки стрекотали в ночной тишине. Мы с отцом увидели как падает метеорит и в туже секунду над нами появился не откуда большой летательный аппарат в виде черного самолета квадратными небольшими крыльями около 5х5 метров без видимых двигателей и звуков. С низу было видно что то похожее на фонарь. Карауль висел над нами минут 10, Я попытался наладить контакт начал кричать и приветствовать их, что можно сказать был ребенком! Мой отец испугался схватил меня и заткнув мне рот рукой утащил меня в дом забившему а темном углу. Он видимо испугался что нам могли забрать или еще что нибудь, может лазером выстрелить ну или того типа что нибудь. Я отцу сказал папа такое один раз в жизни Я буду молчать стоять в тени пойдем посмотрим. Видимо ему тоже стало интересно. И вышли из дома. Объект продолжал висеть над дачей у дороге. Он висел еще 5 минут после нашего выхода и медленно начал двигаться вдоль дороги в сторону соседней дачи пролетев около 50м, летел около 10 минут это расстояние. Замечу двигателей не было. Не сияний от летательного аппарата не было видно, Я и мой отец физически ничего не испытывали. Пролетев 50 м он изменил угол в сторону неба на 45 градусов и исчез оставив после себя теневой след почему увидели след луна хорошо освещала и у нас на даче был фонарь. Корабль был длинной 20-25м. Форма в виде сигары с крыльями квадратными и небольшой хвост с сзади. Единственное что было испытанно физически это волосы на руках встали дыбом, думаю это от эмоций! Вот моя история и она не одна! Я сам человек аномалия, таких случаев у меня было еще 2. Я и домового видел!

Hot pink light in sky during "sunset" time during white nights of the summer.

My roommate and I were up talking in the middle of the night, during the white nights, when it was like sunset at the darkest of the night. She was standing by the window and I was looking at her. I noticed outside up in the sky completely unobstructed was a hot pink light hovering where nothing was. It was slightly moving back and forth...only slight, like a "tremor". I kept staring at it. She finally asked what I was looking at and I said a hot pink light in the sky. She looked out and was amazed too. We both watched it until it left. I can't remember HOW it left now... if it vanished or just shot off, but it was one of the two. I brought up at work the next day (as a joke) that I saw a UFO the night before, and the doctors at the table took it very seriously and told me it was a common site over the city there.

called upon a russian fishing boat,it had strange encrusted object in nets ,about 15 feet in diam.The poor chaps were terrified they thought it was a mine ,they had it in there nets for about five hours we off course gave them assistance and assured them it was not a mine.Of course we were curious what this object was it was so easy to move for its size even in the nets,we got a couple of hammers and started to chip at the crustations on the surface of the sphere there was three inches of crustation before we hit its surface it was strange almost soft then without warning it started to glow from the four inch gap we made on its surface about twenty seconds later the power from both boats drained almost together there was panic for a few seconds but bryan who was with me in the nets decided to cover the gap we made in the object with his coat it stoped the noise it was making strait away and the boats power came back a few minutes later, the object was sealed where we took off the crustation and put back in the sea and tagged dont no what it is except its old and not man made and proberbly best left alone



NUFORC Note:

We have inquired whether any official record of the alleged event was made by the witness or his coworker. As a former scientific observer aboard Soviet fishing vessels, I know how much paperwork is generated in that environment, and an official observer would certainly have recorded the event in his/her records. A photo of the object would have been taken, as well. We will wait for a response, and for further evidence, which supports the assertion above. Frankly, we are going to have to see evidence on this one in order to believe it at face value. PD

I woke up at night and looked out the window near my bed. There was a huge sphere of shining light in front of our nine floor apartment block building, on the level of seventh or eighth floor. I observed it during approximately twenty minutes, to the best of my knowledge, and after that fell asleep. I was ten years old and decided that it was a contact with aliens. Nobody else has seen the sphere, although it's lightning ought to have been very noticeable. From that time on never did I experience the same.

Location: Ufa (Russia), , Russia

Shape: Formation


Five white disks a bit smaller than the moon formed a letter C above the Krupsky Park, Ufa, Russia.

The formation consisted of 5 white disks which were similar to the moon, only smaller and brighter. They were hanging near the zenith, forming something like a letter C. The height was large enough for them to apparently remain at the same place relatively to observers who walking for a third of a mile.

We with my mother noticed the disks when we were at the Krupsky Park near the Belaya River. There were two more people who also watched the disks. The snow in the park was very unusual that day, or it was covered with something strange. It seemed like all snow became something like balls made of plastic or hot ice with variable radii of about one inch. I took one such ball home. It did not melt for months, then I have lost it or it disappeared.

People say that such sightings are frequent near the Belaya River, some of them are talking of nearby military bases. But what I saw did not look like anything I have ever seen.

Noseless sauser, lucky witness.

It was a long time ago in Russia. I was about 6 (i am now 17). But by looking at my age don't turn away, i remember it quite clearly. Mum and i lived in a 10 storey flat and we were on the 8th floor. One night we went to our friends party in the same building and later came back with my friends for a sleep over. We were lying down in the loundge room and i was on the floor facing the window. We talked for a quite a bit that night and i didn't take notice of the time but the sun was gone and the sky turned dark blue. In the background i saw only the horison of the city and the dark blue skyes. About a minute or two after we all went quite but i kept looking at the window. Then i saw a large black object fly past our window and i said "guys, look!". I wasn't dreaming that's for sure. Every body hopped out of their beds like an alarm had just went off. Sure enough they've seen it but i layed there on the floor asking them what it was but they told me not to worry, yet they were talking about it the next day. I believe that by the time they got up and ran to see it, the object would have took off.

Becasue it was getting darker i only saw the outline of the object so i couldn't have been able to determine the shape of the object from top but by what it looked like from the side and comparing it to all the other ufo's i would have to say that it was a sauser.

The object was made up of the main body which was oval but had sharper ends (more like two dinner plates joined together) and a semi sphere on top (may have been the cocpit). The diameter of the sauser was around 4-6 metres and in height about 2-3 metres. At the base of the semi shpere (cocpit) were different flashing coloured lights, spaced out about 40-60cm from each other. The sauser was traveling at about our window level as if it was scanning our floor level. It's speed would have been approximately 10-15km/h. There was no noise at all even though the windows were open, so if it wasn't for me we would have missed it completely.

I strongly believe in the ufo after that particualr encounter but i don't think i'd like to get any closer unless they start communicating.

Garyish UFO in St. Petersburg, Russia

I'm a bit late at reporting this, but better late than never :) I was 7 years old, walking next to the water in St. Petersburg, Russia. At that time, my Grandmother and I noticed a grayish round object floating in the sky. It was almost like a perfectly rounded cloud. But, it was certainly not a cloud. I also noticed a place near by (possibly a jet) and suddenly, the round object started flying (very very fast) toward the plane and then disappeared. The plane continued to fly.

Now, a 7 year old kid and a Grandma may not seem like a credible source, but my Grandma, at the time, was only 52 years old and she still clearly remembers what happened to this day. I also remember and I'm 100% certain it had to have been a UFO, it flew away Extremely fast.

Let's Liquidate the Myth of the UFO!

The last issues of the Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda published a series of five articles under the loud headline "KGB Unveils UFO Secrets". These publications were based on materials from the so-called "blue file" that the KGB once compiled concerning the activity of Russian ufologists. However, the newspaper unveiled no secrets at all, the publications mentioned just several instances when UFOs were registered over Soviet military objects. What do these KGB documents testify to? Do extraterrestrials actually exist? Or, is it possible that the truth is more prosaic? A researcher from the Russian city of Krasnoyarsk Pavel Poluyan tells the story.

Liquidation of UFO I saw a UFO for the first time on April 26, 1989: there was a large luminous ball flying over the Kama River. In fact, it was a thin air stratum around the ball that was glowing while some part of the ionized gas was blown away by an onrushing flow, and a short flickering track remained behind the apparatus. The case was later refered to as a "UFO over Perm" and was described in the press many times as lots of witnesses saw the phenomenon.

It took me several years to outline a practical scheme for explaining the phenomenon that I saw. As it turned out, everything could be explained without any fantastic hypotheses, just simple rare aerodynamic effects. The effects are perfectly known more or less now; at least nobody recalls antigravitation when they see the flight of a disk-shaped mini-plane designed by the Saratov EKIP concern. How does it fly without wings and propellers? When my article on the principles of UFO flights was published in Komsomolskaya Pravda on November 1, 1995, the editorial staff illustrated the text with the picture of the "UFO" produced in Saratov, the mini-plane I've already mentioned.

Later, Afontovo TV, in the Russian city of Krasnoyarsk, produced a video where the story that I narrated was supplied with material filmed in the laboratory of superlight aircrafts in the Siberian Aerospace Academy and in the laboratory for experimenting with strong magnetic fields in the Krasnoyarsk Physics Institute. In 2001, I brought my materials to the editorial office of the popular Russian newspaper Top Secret, but instead of getting my material publicized, I was met by a strange man. Some man found me in Krasnoyarsk and asked different questions in exchange for generous financing. He wanted to know whether I knew what material the UFO bodies are made of, if it can land on water; what is more, the man wanted to find out with what scientists I cooperated when I wrote my materials. After that I understood perfectly well that my surmises concerning secret aircraft designed in the USA (and later in the Soviet Union as well) corresponded to reality, and that I must expound my version in detail. This is how my book "Liquidation of UFO" appeared; now it is available at many Internet websites.

You may ask why the KGB left me alone and allowed me to publish my works. The problem is that I already guessed and publicized the scheme of the first UFO, those that the USA tested at the end of the 1940s and the beginning of the 1950s. Modern models are more complicated, as I learned from those who were somehow connected with design and production of such aircrafts.

The recent publications in Komsomolskaya Pravda has come in handy. My opinion is that it's high time for the KGB to "unveil the UFO secret" so that people could learn the truth from Russia, as it obviously cannot be obtained from American mystifiers.

Some romantic readers may think that what I'm going to say is just one of the many versions. However, what you are going to read right now is the truth. But first of all we must separate real "flying objects" from other unidentified phenomena, as such cases are observed as well.

A group of ionospheric UFOs can be singled out from the unidentified phenomena: these are many-colored lights zigzagging the sky at an unbelievably high speed. These are not objects in fact, but ionospheric spots of reflected light that appear as a result of gas glowing in the spot where two radar rays with specific characteristics cross. Synchronized movement of the rays produces the spots of reflected light that cross the sky at any speed and along any trajectory. Such experiments on modification of the ionospheric environment draw the attention of the public.

Another group of UFO phenomena is made up by those which psychologist Cal Jung has described. The fact is that a visual picture produced by the brain is exactly a picture. In other words, it is not transported from the retina into our consciousness, but appears as a result of processing of the information that the brain receives. Sometimes some alien images can intrude into this picture, just exactly the way when some uninvited banner comes up on your computer monitor when you surf the Internet. For example, when a child sees a dwarf going out of a wardrobe, he actually SEES the dwarf, as his brain cannot yet protect the visual picture from other signals.

The same can be observed with adults: the brain's work is disturbed under the influence of high-frequency radiation, and strange objects invade the visual picture. It is no wonder that visions of this kind occur when people see "flying objects". Unlike pilots who are in a shielded cockpit, accidental witnesses are not protected from microwave radiation that is emitted from these aircrafts.

And now let's speak about real "UFOs". I hope that readers will be able to compare the following kinds of apparatuses with those that are described in the "blue file". Counterintelligence agents collected only actual facts and knew perfectly well what kind of objects were flying over our military objects.

We all remember the old newsreel in aviation history where some strange apparatus, something like a huge umbrella with an engine and a pilot, was demonstrated together with antiquated biplanes and gliders. The "umbrella" twitched up and down; when it went down, the apparatus took off and when the umbrella moved up, the aircraft went back to the ground. The umbrella plane was tested by inventor Chance Vought in America in 1911. This very flying device was the ancestor of "flying saucers". The first flying saucers used the same scheme but on a higher technological level. The very form of the first flying saucers is flat from below, prominent and streamline on the top; which means that it was very important for these objects to be oriented with its flat surface down and with a higher head resistance. This fact alone is enough to understand that such discs rest upon the air.

As Zhukovsky, the founder of Russian aircraft construction, once said, there is someplce to rest on everywhere in the air. The umbrella plane from the old newsreel is certainly very funny, but do you think that practical Americans spent money on construction of the craft just for fun? Certainly not.

The principle of flight based on formation of compression under a vibrating surface is not worse than that used in traditional planes, where the lift (the difference of pressures) arises at the expense of asymmetrical streamline of a wing's form in the oncoming air. In 1911, there were no technologies to use the principle of flight it's maximum.

During WWII German aviation engineers employed this principle. But they managed to create only models of one meter long; however, those "UFOs" scared American and English pilots very much when glowing balls appeared right before their bombers.

At the end of the 1940s, the first flying saucers resembling telephone dynamic speakers appeared: their huge membranes vibrated at a supersonic speed, and a streamline top part consisting of two spherical segments guaranteed the difference of the drag from above and below. A thin metal membrane was set to vibrate with a system of impulse electromagnets. (Later Russian engineers employed this technology in electropulse de-icers, on the wings of Il-86 planes for example. I can name the siberian impulse electromagnetic seismic sources too.) What is the essence of the aerodynamic effect? As long as a flying saucer doesn't push out anything like rockets do, there will be no lift. This something can be a ring whirl-vortex of air, as it doesn't draw the disc back. The disc must rest on the vortex just for a couple of microseconds because another vortex is formed within this period. Air rejection gives rise to reactive force, and the disc takes off, and a vortex that appears under the disc prevents the disc from dropping down until another vortex is formed. The time between these vortexes is insignificant. The vortexes draw in much air as they revolve, consequently, a saucer can give it a bigger impulse within the period when a vortex is being formed, and the disc then moves higher.

However, the first flying saucers had many defects. First of all, the push surface couldn't resist and broke, causing catastrophies. It was this "elastic foil" that US Air Force Captain Jesse Marcell found on a farmer's field; this case gave rise to the sensation about the Roswell incident in July 1947. Secondly, the disc was unsteady and it fell sideways as it slipped off the vortexes. Thirdly, flying saucers with impulse electromagnets were heavy, with high power inputs and couldn't cover long distances (as one source told me, the American military had to deliver their flying saucers to the Soviet shores on submarines). Certainly, this kind of aircraft was improved, but another generation of apparatuses appeared by that time; their airframes were not shaken with electromagnetic fields. It was made of piezoceramics and vibration appeared as a result of the piezoelectric effect. Apparatuses of this generation were no longer in a disc shape, they were balls, ellipses and other volumetric figures surrounded with a halo of ionized gas.

Finally, the third generation of flying discs consists of dark objects in which only small zones, vortex activators, are glowing. The light goes downwards when the disc takes off, to the side when it is to move sideways or the light shines in the form of a pointed bracket when manuevering. The zone of vortex activation appears in any part of the airframe covered with cells and contacts. Uneven cells are joined together (this is the base), and voltage is sent to the other cells through a regulating switchboard. The airframe is monolithic and doesn't vibrate, but the adjoining air is artificially ionized, and current impulses that slip by at a megahertz frequency make it expand. The principle of thermal sources of sound is known rather well, but it wasn't effectively used in other scientific fields.

Now I would like to mention "the mysterious material ray" that flying saucers emit. Ufologists say that with the help of this ray extraterrestrials take people on board their aircraft. The situation is more simple in fact. Molecules are centrifuged and separated in the vortex whirl zone, moisture is frozen out of the air in the cooled area and as a result small crystals form. The light emitted by the activation zone is shining on the crystals. Thus, a UFO 50 meters high described in the article in Komsomolskaya Pravda of February 11 is not an object itself, but the area consisting of vortexes that is illuminated. The glowing zone stops where the lowest vortex loses energy as it expands and ceases to freeze moisture crystals out of the air.

When the Soviet borders grew weaker as a result of perestroika, American spy UFOs flooded the sky over Russia. Unfortunately, they were not only collecting information. In December 1989, policemen in the Russian city of Krasnoyarsk saw that several dark flying discs were trying to experiment on electric mains going to the Krasnoyarsk aluminum plant. However, we should also feel for Americans as they have been fooled with extraterrestrial fairy tales all this time, and the misinformation was spread intentionally. I tried to demonstrate how it is done using the examples from the book "UFO FBI CONNECTION. The Secret History of the Government`s Cover-Up" by Bruce Maccabee, Ph.D. however, when a part of my book was published in English, the author emailed to me to express his disagreement.

So, the childish fantasy about extraterrestrial beings is currently being turned into a real spy novel. I would like to add that the disclosures I've made were not inspired and financed by the FSB; they are the result of my private, years-long research. I used my personal finances to conduct the research.

It is certainly very sad to give up the myth of extraterrestrials. But it's time to grow up and say good-bye to fairy tales. I am not saying so as a confirmed skeptic rationalist, simply as a grown up.

Be sure, dear readers, there are more interesting things in the world than extraterrestrial beings. The immortality of the soul and its post mortem fate for example. And those who have been spreading lies in the information sphere and fooling humanity for 60 years already must remember this.

Fireball shape object over the Black Sea shore

It was a warm and absolutely clear, typical southern late evening on the Black Sea resort, on the shore of the calm Black Sea. The small village (Novo –Mikhailovka, 30 miles West of Tuapse) positioned in the center of the small sea gulf and our camp (summer camp of Polytechnic Institute of Leningrad) occupied the shoreline right behind the pebble beach of the Black Sea. My girlfriend and I walked down the beach about ¾ of the mile towards the narrow shore and tall cliff with very rocky beach. Not too far from the beach (2-3 meters into shallow water) there was a square shape rock about 2x2x2 meters. It was really fun to climb on that rock and sit on its warm surface, slowly giving away its warmth accumulated during hot and sunny day.

Typical for that area and time of the evening, sky was almost black and stars were bright and vivid, no city lights. The horizon was barely seen against the sky, almost black against black background. The landscape of that area consist of hills and valleys, on the left (from my position on the rock facing the camp and gulf) I was able to see the beginning of the cliff. Straight ahead in the distance of 1 to 3 miles were hills, covered 1/4 on the horizon. At the foot of the hill I could see some lights from the small buildings and from our camp, stretched along the shoreline. It was dark, but I could see some elements of landscape and was able to judge the distances, thanks to the bright stars and very small lights from the camp. In addition I was well familiar with this area, it was my third summer I spend at this camp as the member of scud diving team. It was no wind and very calm. No sounds, except really faded sounds of music from the dance court in the distance.

Suddenly, I noticed rather bright object, moving silently from the left to right below the hilltops. The object I can describe as the "fireball." It had the size of the medium size moon. It was glowing and had the reddish in the center and yellowish colors to the outer diameter. It was slowly moving through the sky and was visible on the backgrounds of the hills. But it did not illuminate any area under it. It had a visible diameter and shape of the round ball. I can roughly estimate its diameter as 4 to 10 miters Therefore the distance from me and to the object, and the fact that it was seen against the hills (known distance of several miles to the furthest hills) could be determined as 2/3 to 2 miles. It was slowly following the descending trajectory, slow and steady. It than quietly disappeared, I would say landed, in the woods within the hills, 1-2 miles from the shore. (The hillsides are covered with thick and mixed southern trees and bushes and it was practically impos sible to get to that area. The next day we made an attempt to find the place of where it could fall or lend, but could not find any signs of object.) The most unusual in movement and appearance of the object was the position of the tale of "flames," which if it were a normal falling object or burning meteorite would follow the trajectory of the fall. In reality the tale was turned about 10 -15 o counterclockwise, pointing the end of the tile to 8 o’clock position, and DID NOT FOLLOWED the trajectory like blown fire tale would normally be. That was very strange to watch such an unnatural movement. The tale size was about ½ of the diameter of the object in length and 1/3 of the diameter thick. The whole object had a shape of the mirror image of the punctuation mark, colon, rotated with the round point to the right and the tale to the left.

The object, at my opinion, was obviously not a meteorite: it moved too slowly for the falling meteorite. The distance of couple of miles or less from the moment I register it in my field of view to its disappearance in the hills this object being seen for 2-3 minutes. It moved really slowly. It also had a visible diameter and shape. And the most important, the position of the "flaming" tale, it should follow the direction of the trajectory, but it was not; it was rotated down, counterclockwise 10 -15 degrees.
