Ufologists know that flying saucers are constantly showing interest in strategic objects - nuclear power plants, hydroelectric power plants, military bases. The councils accompany and "play" with military aircraft, circling at sea around warships, demonstrating their unique technical capabilities on land, in the air, on water and underwater.

Pilots, soldiers, police and intelligence personnel have always been considered the most reliable witnesses to observation. Why? First of all, because these people can impartially summarize on paper only facts and descriptions of events. Secondly, there are special service regulations and directives that determine the rules for compiling reports in the event of contact of an army member with anomalous phenomena or UFO.

However, it is true that not every UFO observed over a military base is an "unidentified" object. In terms of the number of observations, it is the most popular «Area 51»- A secret military camp in Nevada, used by the US military to test experimental aircraft models. This zone has become so popular due to the unusual degree of secrecy. Scientist Bob Lazar he claims that for some time he worked in the underground of the base and saw with his own eyes a UFO, which he later called a "sports model".

Evgeny Dmitriev in the article "UFOs are born on Earth" claims that many UFO sightings are just Latest Aircraft Tips:

"According to some Western investigators, they have at least two known UFO types of terrestrial origin ...

… 15. In August 1995, a triangular device exploded near the city of Methane. The explosion was extremely strong and was also registered by seismographs in the area. In the middle of the damaged trees lay shiny fragments of aluminum-like metal. At the same time, a blue-red symbol was clearly visible on one of the fragments NASA! ... "

In 1994, I interviewed a lieutenant colonel of the Strategic Missile Forces «PBCH», who was responsible for collecting and dispatching information regarding anomalous phenomena. He told me about the situation that had occurred at the time of his service. An unknown object hovered over the checkpoint, and the electronics on the control panel began to behave strangely - various inscriptions lit up on their own, including "Rocket Launch." There was an impression that the UFO was testing the system. In a few minutes, the trigger was completed and flew away. Inspection of the entire system showed no damage, except for the deletion of the air mission.

In the early 80s, the military received an ordinance setting out rules for reporting on the observation of "anomalous atmospheric and space phenomena." Within the projects «Сетка-МО» and «Сетка-АН» a unique archive of reports was collected, most of which were submitted by soldiers.

Part of the archive of UFO sightings in Russia was handed over to Pavel Popovich, the KGB's deputy chairman, a few years ago. To date, this 125-page document is one of the few pieces of evidence of the military and secret service's interest in UFO issues. A small part can still be found on some websites on the Internet.

At the Ufological Symposium in Perm in 1996, the Russian sent. Russia's pilot pilot Marina Lavrentevna Popovich submitted unique photographs taken from the screen of a military fighter radar. At the time of the training shooting in Lipetsk, an unknown object appeared in front of the MIG-21 aircraft and blocked the targets. Part of the control electronics on board burned out and was out of order. But the pilot managed to turn on the device and capture the object at the same time as it came in close proximity to the aircraft and then disappeared vertically in the sky. According to estimates of ground services (which also observed the object), the dimensions of the UFO were about 100 meters and the overload during the vertical takeoff must have been more than 50G!

Rarely, UFO sighting evidence can be obtained and documented along with military technology. Although it is possible to prove that such evidence is kept secret. Even if they come to the surface, they become the subject of heated controversy, debate and conjecture.

For the past seven years, the stumbling block of opponents and supporters of "flying saucers" has been a security camera footage taken at Nellis Military Base. It clearly captures an unusual cross-shaped object that does not resemble any known flying machine, while maneuvering in unusual zigzag directions. Hear a conversation between two operators:

1 Operator: An unknown helicopter seems to be approaching us…

2 Operator: What is it?

1 Operator: I do not know. Similar to the helicopter ...

... Disconnection, unclear noise and interference ...

2 Operator: We have an unknown object here. We will provide information at all times. It is an aircraft of indeterminate type. It moves very slowly. We've reported to the control center, but they don't know what the matter is…

1 Operator: It is not possible! ...

How could the official registration get into the hands of researchers? They claim that the video was secretly exported from the base. The military has not refuted or confirmed this fact.

UFOs are also interested in nuclear and hydroelectric power plants.

"… The chairman of the UFO-club Miroslav Karlík (Slovakia) believes that the unknown flying objects are attracted by the proximity of the nuclear power plant in Jaslovské Bohunice. Sám М. During his years working at this large nuclear power plant, Karlík has collected a lot of material on how UFOs remain hanging over similar objects in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany and other countries. ”(« Pravda », September 9, 1995).

About a year ago, an acquaintance who knew about my interest in anomalous phenomena told me about an interesting case. His passion is fishing. It has long since had its favorite place seen at our hydroelectric power plant, where it was repeatedly stopped by a station employee: “For a fish? They won't take it today! They were above the power plant again. ”It turned out that strange spherical shapes were often observed above the power plant quite often. Employees noticed that all the fish then disappeared for a few days…

Each coin has two sides. On the one hand, the identification of military samples of military-air technology with UFOs is erroneous, and on the other hand, there are unknown machines that have such air characteristics that are not available even to modern modern secret aircraft.

An interesting remark was made in the Moscow Komsomol. She pointed out that the Ministry of Defense is passionately interested in materials related to promising extraterrestrial technologies. In essence, Russia proposed to Ukraine to extinguish its debts for gas… army archives of the US Air Defense, which remained after the division of countries. What is so valuable in them? It turns out that "… On the basis of data from many years of observation, it has been possible to guarantee exactly the place and time of the next UFO visit several times. The Russian leadership was seriously concerned that Ukraine, which owns the archive, could make a significant breakthrough in contact with UFOs and thus significantly strengthen its influence on the international scene… "

What remains researchers shuffles fact cards - presenting new versions and hypotheses. Maybe we should turn to the generals with the question, "What the hell is going on in heaven?" Finally, the Ministry of Defense has already asked such a question. And the result? Polite three-finger combination… Unfortunately, the law on freedom of information has not yet been approved in Russia.
