Russian Proton Rocket and UFOs
Picture Source: Original Picture NASA Altered To Include UFO Images

There is always controversy when you talk about ufos. It usually goes this way, the government refuses to acknowledge they exist, most scientists go along with the government, some people believe in them, while others think that they are secret government projects or planes. Some people have gotten close up views of them, like someone I know who I mentioned previously who had one giant saucer hovering over their home and the entire family saw it, while others have seen lights zipping across the sky or banding together to form shapes. But there are a few scientists that admit that they think ufos are extraterrestrial vehicles and there are some others that will admit it, but not in public.

In Russia, believing in ufos doesn't seem to carry the same stigma as it does here in the states. In 2001 some Russian scientists made a claim that they could create a ufo type vehicle. It all started when one of them announced they had made several major discoveries in an area that would allow this vehicle to be built. A claim was made that a new material was discovered that contained electrical impulses and would become a source of free energy. Of course we all know that so far physics requires something to be put in before something can be taken out. According to the Asia Times online, August 29, 2001, the scientist that heads this group is Professor Valenian Sobolev who is the head of the Material Technology Research Center in Volgograd, Russia. They go further to state that Prof Sobolev has contacted President Putin and told him that for $2,000,000 U.S. he could commercialize this product. Will Russian saucers ply the skies, I guess we will just have to wait and see?

A strange thing happened upon the launch of Kosmos 955, the contrails came together in such a way as to form a giant jelly fish form that many people saw and thought was a ufo. Even books were written about this. Well this is the story of Professor Chernouss. He claims that many of the sightings are just rocket launches. He believes that ufo sightings are due to actions by humans and cites the fact that cameras in densely populated areas or near kosmodromes are recording mysterious lights but cameras at the Antarctic never record anything unknown.

The real question is, do Russian scientists really believe in ufos? Well according to an article at http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/doc987.htm, not only do they believe, but the government knows that they exist. The article states that the ufos are seen often and they maintain a base in the Caspian. This claim sounds a bit like something out of one of those sensational tabloids you see at the supermarket however.

One thing seems to be certain. The U.S. and Russia are partners in a project to develop a disk like object called EKIP that will be able to fly through the air and hover. The machine is a Russian creation but the U.S. military will use it. It will be pilotless and no doubt be mistaken for a ufo by many people. See Pravda online 1/21/04.

Some Russian scientists that were at Chernobyl now believe in ufos. They may not have believed before one of the Chernobyl reactors melted down, but they did afterward. The reason for this new founded belief was the fact that a ufo hovered over Chernobyl as the tragedy was taking place and many say that the only reason there was no nuclear explosion was because of the intervention of the ufo. Here is what Mikhail Varitsky had to say: I and other people from my team went to the site of the blast at night. We saw a ball of fire, and it was slowly flying in the sky. I think the ball was six or eight meters in diameter. Then, we saw two rays of crimson light stretching towards the fourth unit. The object was some 300 meters from the reactor. The event lasted for about three minutes. The lights of the object went out and it flew away in the northwestern direction. The UFO brought the radiation level down. The level was decreased almost four times. This probably prevented a nuclear blast. Three years later (on September 16, 1989), the fourth power-generating unit emitted radiation into the atmosphere. Several hours later, a doctor saw an object in the sky above the Chernobyl plant. Doctor Gospina described it as amber-like. She said she could see the top and the bottom of it as well.

One scientist in Russia that is interested in ufos decided he needed better equipment to verify ufos. He claims that he has invented a camera that can taken pictures of past events. When the pictures are seen, energy is put out by them. He states that he was invited to go to Israel to take pictures of the holy places. See http://english.pravda.ru/main/2003/02/17/43424.html

Some Russian scientists claim to not only have seen ufos but also beings. According to http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/editorialethereal.shtml, three Russian scientists saw huge beings over 100 feet tall with wings. Before the vision they were blinded by an extremely bright light. They were on the Russian space station Soyuz 7. I find this very hard to believe, but could the light have caused the scientists to see things that were not really there, sort of the effect of LSD? Who knows, and where did the light come from? Could this have been a government experiment, I guess you couldn't rule that out? None of this changes the facts however, that the scientists believe they saw extraterrestrial beings or angels of huge proportions.

In conclusion, it seems that the Russian people are more open to ufos than are the elements of the U.S. establishment.
