A PRELIMINARY CATALOG OF SOVIET UFO SIGHTINGS
|
|
|
|
In the body of this book I have highlighted some forty cases that were
|
|
specifically discussed during my stay in the Soviet Union in 1990.
|
|
However, many other Soviet UFO incidents-such as the following
|
|
events extracted from Professor Felix Zigel's works-have found their
|
|
way into the literature and deserve to be mentioned, if only in
|
|
summary form. Those researchers with an interest in digging further
|
|
will also find good translations of Russian reports in the pages of
|
|
the "Flying Saucer Review," whose editors are in regular contact with
|
|
various Soviet investigative groups. The selection given below
|
|
emphasizes the early years of the phenomenon, notably the 1967 wave,
|
|
with a sample of reports prior to 1947.
|
|
|
|
July 1923. Dawn. Sosnovka
|
|
|
|
M. Volosnikov, who was on a steamship sailing along the Vyatka river
|
|
in the vicinity of this village, saw an object resembling a flying
|
|
moon. He followed its course for two or three minutes. The object
|
|
turned to the right and disappeared. The witnesses compared notes
|
|
and concluded it must be an "evil spirit."
|
|
|
|
Summer 1927. Early afternoon. Solovyevka
|
|
|
|
In this town which is located about thirteen miles south of Lipetsk,
|
|
I.V. Surkov, an engineer, saw a white, milky disk in the northern sky.
|
|
It was twice as large as the moon, flying slowly to the east. The
|
|
weather was hot, with many cumulus clouds. When the disk approached a
|
|
cloud, the latter gradually disappeared, returning after it had
|
|
passed. This happened with every cloud along the disk's trajectory.
|
|
The observation lasted for at least half an hour.
|
|
|
|
August 1933 or 1934. Kranye Chetay
|
|
|
|
V.N. Bronyukov and other children were playing in the street when they
|
|
saw a "star" moving in the sky to the south, on an east-west
|
|
trajectory, with the approximate speed of one of today's satellites.
|
|
It changed course and flew to the northwest. It was observed for a
|
|
total of ten minutes.
|
|
|
|
September 1935. Evening. Moscow
|
|
|
|
A. Ignatveya twice saw a strange phenomenon near the Petroskiy Gate.
|
|
It was an illuminated sphere which flew low from north to south, fast
|
|
and silently, on a horizontal trajectory.
|
|
|
|
Summer 1938. Early morning. Malakhovka oil station
|
|
|
|
N.A. Gosteva saw an object rushing close to him as he felt a light
|
|
breeze. The phenomenon was a grayish white cloud, dense with diffuse
|
|
outlines, oval in shape, larger than a zeppelin. The object emitted a
|
|
distinct whistling sound.
|
|
|
|
September 1949. At night. Suzdal
|
|
|
|
A man who lived in a village about fifteen miles north of Suzdal, and
|
|
many members of the collective farm where he worked, saw an object
|
|
resembling an automobile head-light hovering above the village. On
|
|
one occasion it came close to the ground. Three people, including G.A.
|
|
Podoshivin, saw this phenomenon independently on the road between
|
|
Suzdal and Gavrilovo-Posadskiy. It was yellowish green, about half the
|
|
lunar disk in apparent size, and it was spinning. It seemed to be
|
|
located about one mile away. It vanished and reappeared several
|
|
times, at ten-minute intervals.
|
|
|
|
November 1958. Sunset. Otyasskiy forest, Sosnovskiy rayon
|
|
|
|
Boris S. Khmyrov saw an object flying at high altitude from west to
|
|
east. As it approached the zenith a disk suddenly appeared near it and
|
|
it began to move fast in the opposite direction. Khmyrov saw the same
|
|
disk again over the next several days.
|
|
|
|
January 1959. 07:00 Tobilsk
|
|
|
|
V.A. Golenkov saw a brightly twinkling greenish star with sharp beams
|
|
or "rays" radiating from it. It became surrounded with bright fog,
|
|
forming a spherical cloud, no larger than the full moon. It moved with
|
|
constant speed and direction and it emitted a small star that went
|
|
through a similar maneuver. The phenomenon lasted twenty minutes.
|
|
|
|
April 25, 1959. 06:00 Salizharovo Station near Kalinin
|
|
|
|
Aviation engineer Alexander B. Kadachev and his father were hunting at
|
|
dawn when they saw an elliptical object with an aspect ratio of one
|
|
third between its vertical and horizontal axes. It was dark, opaque
|
|
but not completely black. Its lower edge was purple, perhaps because
|
|
of its illumination by the rising sun. Its apparent diameter was
|
|
approximately that of the moon. It was observed for several minutes.
|
|
The witnesses lost sight of it as they walked through the forest but
|
|
saw it again later, hovering higher in the sky.
|
|
|
|
July 6, 1960. 90 minutes after sunset. Teli (Tuvinskaya oblast)
|
|
|
|
A bright disk similar to the moon was observed in the west. It moved
|
|
up and to the north with a speed of ten degrees in fifteen minutes, at
|
|
an angle of forty-five degrees to the horizon. Its diameter increased
|
|
and its surface brightness decreased as it did so. The observation
|
|
lasted thirty minutes. A group of eight people, including A.D.
|
|
Danilov, senior scientist of the institute of applied geophysics in
|
|
Moscow, saw the phenomenon.
|
|
|
|
July 8, 1960. Kamchuk River, 27 miles west of Teli
|
|
|
|
The same group of people involved in the July 6 observation saw a
|
|
luminous disk again. It appeared from behind some mountains in the
|
|
west. The weather was clear and cloudless. The region is unpopulated
|
|
taiga.
|
|
|
|
Summer 1960. 17:00 Moscow
|
|
|
|
Many people, including a scientist named Golubov, saw a rectangular
|
|
yellow object hovering above the city in the clear, windless, dark
|
|
blue sky. It seemed to be at an altitude of several miles and "what
|
|
held it there was completely incomprehensible." It was observed for
|
|
over fifteen minutes.
|
|
|
|
Mid-August 1960. 22:00 Kuybyshev
|
|
|
|
V.N. Govorona was in a park when she saw a disk moving slowly across
|
|
the sky. Its apparent size was smaller than that of the moon.
|
|
|
|
August 16, 1960. 23:00 Barakhudzir River
|
|
|
|
At a field camp situated eleven miles north of Koktal a party of
|
|
geologists (including Nikolai A. Voroshilov, geochemist, Yevgeniy A.
|
|
Sizov, geophysicist, Nikolai N. Sochevanov, geophysicist and Viktor N.
|
|
Tulin, geologist) saw a luminous body moving from north to south above
|
|
the mountains of the eastern slope. Its diameter was 1.2 times to 1.5
|
|
times the apparent diameter of the moon. It disappeared behind one of
|
|
the peaks and reappeared on the other side before it was hidden from
|
|
view again. It was white in color and very bright, round with some
|
|
vertical elongation. There was no trail or afterglow. The sky was
|
|
clear with only a few clouds.
|
|
|
|
October 1960. 23:00 Berk-Eisk, Biyal River
|
|
|
|
Engineer Y.M. Novikov was with a group of fifty people when they saw a
|
|
lone dark cloud in a clear sky. The cloud was illuminated by a weak
|
|
reddish light and a beam of light slowly emerged from it. It came from
|
|
a solid body that separated from the cloud but continued to illuminate
|
|
it with its beam. The phenomenon was observed for five minutes.
|
|
|
|
October 26, 1962. 23:40 Tula
|
|
|
|
Artist Y. Krivtsov and his companions were returning from a concert in
|
|
Laptevo when they suddenly saw "eight or ten" objects flying north at
|
|
an attitude of about 3,000 feet. They were of large size, hiding
|
|
portions of the night sky. They flew horizontally in silence.
|
|
|
|
March 1964. 23:00 Petropavlovsk
|
|
|
|
Air Force reserve officer S.N. Popov was with three other men when he
|
|
saw two strange disks moving one behind the other, then re-forming and
|
|
moving as a pair. Passing almost over the witnesses, the disks emitted
|
|
an intense bluish violet light. When they were caught in the
|
|
illumination from the disks, Popov and his companions felt oppressed,
|
|
"as if some natural calamity had occurred, a very unpleasant feeling
|
|
..."
|
|
|
|
July 27, 1964. 22:00 Ulan Bator
|
|
|
|
Bold Khaserdzne, a worker with the Mongolian Chamber of Commerce,
|
|
accompanied by a group of students, was travelling in a truck when
|
|
they saw a moon-shaped object rising in the northwest. It climbed very
|
|
rapidly for several minutes, getting larger in the process. It made a
|
|
ninety-degree turn and flew north along the horizon for ten to
|
|
fifteen minutes. After that it went down and disappeared.
|
|
|
|
|
|
November 30, 1964. 15:00 U.T. Shamakhinskiy Observatory, Azerbaijan
|
|
|
|
Astronomers M. Gadshiyev and K. Gusev saw an object moving from west
|
|
to north at about one degree per minute. The head of this object was
|
|
about twice the diameter of the moon. It looked like a ring with a
|
|
sharp internal edge and a diffuse outer edge. In the center was a star
|
|
like object which was a point even when seen through a telescope. It
|
|
left a tail that was visible for over fifteen minutes. No sound was
|
|
heard.
|
|
|
|
August 12, 1965. 14:00 Liepaya, Latvia
|
|
|
|
V. Y. Leya, a glider pilot (later chief engineer on an aviation
|
|
project) and several other pilots saw an oblate sphere, brilliant
|
|
white, about half the size of the moon. It went through an arc of one
|
|
hundred degrees.
|
|
|
|
February or March 1966. 08:00 Saranpul
|
|
|
|
At a place located some twelve miles northeast of Saranpul, at about
|
|
4,200 feet altitude, geologist I.N. Almazov and his coworkers observed
|
|
two luminous objects practically over-head against the background of
|
|
a cloudless sky. The first object was round, bright, yellow-white in
|
|
color. The second object resembled the moon but was half the moon's
|
|
apparent size. It became cloudy and smokelike, then changed to a
|
|
bright illuminated disk. On two occasions this second object emitted
|
|
divergent beams like those of a car, for about half a minute each
|
|
time. Both objects moved to the northeast and disappeared behind a
|
|
mountain.
|
|
|
|
April 4, 1966. Night. Region of Odessa
|
|
|
|
During night flights a radar operator checking his equipment
|
|
discovered blips moving at approximately 500 miles per hour at 150,000
|
|
feet, dropping to 90,000 feet in fifteen minutes, then to 75,000 feet
|
|
in thirty minutes, then to 54,000 feet in forty minutes, after which
|
|
the phenomenon dropped to ground level. The data was confirmed by a
|
|
ground radar station in Tiraspol, according to N.A. Baydukov.
|
|
|
|
June 16, 1966. 21:45 Elista
|
|
|
|
A detachment of scientists from the Volgograd oil and gas research
|
|
institute saw an object somewhat larger than a satellite, reddish in
|
|
color, moving from the northeast to the southwest. Suddenly it dropped
|
|
along a helical trajectory, taking a bright blue color. Something like
|
|
an explosion occurred and a bright blue round cloud formed in its
|
|
place. There was no sound, no other clouds and the stars were visible
|
|
through the object.
|
|
|
|
Late July 1966. Midnight. Near Voronezh
|
|
|
|
Mr. and Mrs. Nikiforov saw a pulsating red disk moving at low altitude
|
|
and at relatively low speed for five minutes.
|
|
|
|
Summer 1966. 09:00 Yuchka
|
|
|
|
A witness named N.Y. Marsov was bathing in the Kubek River when people
|
|
called his attention to a shining ball in the sky. Clouds dissipated
|
|
when they came in the vicinity of the sphere. It remained fixed in the
|
|
sky for three hours.
|
|
|
|
July 18, 1966. 03:00 Rechport
|
|
|
|
Lidia Pavlovna Iliana, a senior spectroscopist of the central
|
|
laboratory of the Berezovskaya expedition, and a bulldozer operator
|
|
named F.A. Chesnokov, saw an orange disk in the sky. It was less
|
|
bright than the moon but comparable to it in size. It was accompanied
|
|
by several strange clouds. The phenomenon was observed for thirty
|
|
minutes.
|
|
|
|
October 20, 1966. 15:00 Kherson
|
|
|
|
Walking back from the stadium to the bus station after a volleyball
|
|
game, V.I. Duginov noticed that all the people in line were watching
|
|
something in the sky. It was a round disk directly overhead, about one
|
|
third the diameter of the moon. It had a soft silvery color and looked
|
|
like a pearl or a bead but did not resemble a radiosonde or a balloon.
|
|
It moved steadily to the east.
|
|
|
|
May 11, 1967. 21:10 Near Sheremetyevo airport
|
|
|
|
M.A. Selavnya and his father were walking the dogs on a sunny, warm
|
|
evening with excellent visibility when they heard a sound like a
|
|
rustling that turned to a whistle and a rumble that passed over as if
|
|
coming from an invisible flying object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
May 17, 1967. 02:30 Chapayevka
|
|
|
|
I.S. Rybak saw a round spot, about four times larger than the moon,
|
|
with a faint luminous appearance like the Milky Way. It moved from
|
|
west to east and was observed for thirty minutes.
|
|
|
|
May 17, 1967. 03:S5 Ust'kamenogorsk
|
|
|
|
An engineer named T.N. Kanshov saw a bright body twice as large as the
|
|
moon moving across the sky from south to north for over two minutes.
|
|
It first appeared as a flame so bright he could read the time on his
|
|
watch by its light. The night was quiet, cloudless, moonless. The
|
|
object had "fiery arrows" extending parallel to its sides. It expanded
|
|
to three times its original size before disappearing.
|
|
|
|
May 17, 1967. 22:00 Kamyshin
|
|
|
|
Major Y.B. Popov, of Novosibirsk, together with Junior Lieutenant A.S.
|
|
Nikitenko and several local residents saw a cascade of lights rushing
|
|
across the night sky from the northeast in even rows. The lights were
|
|
located on the surface of a very large cigar-shaped object, the
|
|
impression was that an ocean-going vessel was flying across the sky
|
|
with absolute silence at an altitude of about 0.6 mile. It was
|
|
observed for two or three minutes. It passed almost over-head and
|
|
took off into space.
|
|
|
|
May 17, 1967. 22:05 Bakhrushev
|
|
|
|
By a warm, quiet evening several witnesses including S.V. Ostrovskiy
|
|
saw a bright point descending in the western sky. It flew down to an
|
|
altitude estimated as about one mile, when it changed to a horizontal
|
|
course. At that point it appeared as a dark body of impressive
|
|
proportions, with a compact, well-defined light at the rear. It flew
|
|
off silently at less than 200 mph, with a dark orange tail behind it.
|
|
|
|
Early June 1967. 23:00 Khoper River
|
|
|
|
While walking along the banks of the river M. Gavrilyuk and his wife
|
|
saw a luminous object shaped like a half moon. The weather was clear
|
|
and the real moon was shining in the sky. The object moved from the
|
|
west to the south, passing above the moon and accelerating until it
|
|
disappeared, leaving a faint trace.
|
|
|
|
July 4, 1967. 21:15 Shakhty
|
|
|
|
Docent Y. Krasuntsev and his son were resting near the Don River when
|
|
they saw a half moon shaped object. They first noticed two luminous
|
|
points that looked like artificial satellites. They moved to the
|
|
southeast, making no sound. A shower of orange sparks flew out of one
|
|
object and turned into a moon shape that went on flying.
|
|
|
|
July 8, 1967. 23:00 Volgograd
|
|
|
|
Dr. Boris Dikhedeyev and a companion were talking outside when they
|
|
saw an orange object in the form of a half moon. It moved from west to
|
|
east, leaving a trail that disappeared in the rear and appeared in
|
|
front of the object as it flew toward the forest. The moon was shining
|
|
and the sky was clear.
|
|
|
|
July 8, 1967. 21:30 Romny
|
|
|
|
By a quiet evening S.V. Zazulya and his wife saw an object flying from
|
|
north to south. It looked like an ordinary cloud but flew very fast
|
|
and above the few high fleecy clouds that were in the sky.
|
|
|
|
July 10, 1967. 23:00 Krugloye, Shakhterskiy
|
|
|
|
A.A. Podgorny was coming back from the movies when he saw an object
|
|
shaped like a half moon flying from south to north. Three days later
|
|
he saw the same phenomenon again.
|
|
|
|
July 16, 1967. 21:00 Kudepst
|
|
|
|
V.N. Chernyavski and his wife, with N. Ognevoy and S. Voronov, were
|
|
close to the shore when they saw a yellow-rose disk-shaped object
|
|
moving from west to east in the sky from the direction of the sea. It
|
|
passed behind some clouds. The witness had the time to take a
|
|
two-kopek coin from his pocket and he observed that the coin covered
|
|
the object exactly when held at arm's length.
|
|
|
|
|
|
July 17, 1967. 23:00 Sukhumi (Agudzeri)
|
|
|
|
L.V. Antonova, an editor with the publishing house "Thought", and
|
|
T.I. Dantseva, fellow of the Kurchatov scientific institute,
|
|
observed a strange object along with four other people. The weather
|
|
was clear at the time. The object looked like a flat disk with
|
|
shining edge, flying at an altitude of some 350 feet at the speed of a
|
|
propeller aircraft.
|
|
|
|
July 18, 1967. 14:47 Amvrosiyevka
|
|
|
|
Student Y. Divak and a friend were fishing when they saw the
|
|
reflection of a strange flying object in the water. Looking up, they
|
|
saw a lusterless craft in the sky. It seemed to affect the sounds from
|
|
the trains and from the nearby town.
|
|
|
|
July 31, 1967. 21:15 Privilny farm, Kavkazkiy
|
|
|
|
I. Kosov, his wife and farmer P.I. Marchenko saw a dark red disk
|
|
flying from the southwest to the northeast. The witness had time to
|
|
count to forty-two before the object disappeared.
|
|
|
|
August 2, 1967. 23:30 Norwegian Sea
|
|
|
|
A Soviet vessel, the Izhevsk, was sailing west with Captain Markov,
|
|
senior engineer Ivanov and first assistant captain Bazhanin in the
|
|
cabin when the navigator, Sysoyev, reported a strange phenomenon in
|
|
the sky. Going to the bridge, they all saw a white sphere moving
|
|
south. Several minutes later another bright spot was seen high in the
|
|
sky, increasing in size and emitting bright colors in which yellow
|
|
was dominant. This phenomenon was repeated several times.
|
|
|
|
August 5, 1967. 20:50 Perm
|
|
|
|
Y.G. Solovyev, his wife and his son observed a ring-shaped object
|
|
flying across the sky. An airliner flying at an altitude of 1,200 feet
|
|
would have fit inside this ring. It was observed for over ten minutes
|
|
in the western part of the sky.
|
|
|
|
August 8, 1967. 20:40 Kislovodsk
|
|
|
|
An object shaped like a sharply outlined asymmetrical crescent flew
|
|
over the mountain astronomical station of the Academy of Sciences. The
|
|
object was slightly smaller than the moon, about twenty minutes of
|
|
arc, with a color described as reddish by some observers, yellow for
|
|
others. It flew from west to east about twenty degrees above the ho-
|
|
rizon, moving from the Big Dipper to Cassiopeia in about thirty
|
|
seconds, at a uniform speed. The witnesses were A.A. Sazonov, a
|
|
specialist in the ionosphere; V.A. Tsion of the Leningrad
|
|
Polytechnical Institute, and seven members of a biological expedition.
|
|
|
|
About August 9, 1967. 15:00 Belye Krinitsy
|
|
|
|
Mr. Lytkiny and his wife were on vacation resting by the shore of a
|
|
lake, when they saw a fast-moving oval object. It was milky white,
|
|
with some small black rods arranged randomly on its surface. It
|
|
suddenly moved sharply to the right and up, then to the left and
|
|
downward. It then resumed its continuous path toward the
|
|
Carpathians. A few minutes later a second object appeared and went
|
|
through similar evolutions.
|
|
|
|
August 30, 1967. 20:50 Dneprodzerzhinsk
|
|
|
|
A round, bright, uniformly illuminated light yellow disk was seen
|
|
describing a wide arc in the sky. It disappeared to the
|
|
north-northeast. Mr. V.M. Chernov saw it through binoculars for a
|
|
while as it went behind some clouds and reappeared, fainter and
|
|
looking like a greenish star. There was no sound.
|
|
|
|
September 2, 1967. 23:35 Pechora
|
|
|
|
Four people, including physicist Mikhail F. Zherebin, saw a
|
|
"mistiness" in the north-northwestern part of the sky. Suddenly it
|
|
changed into a clear yellow disk comparable in size to the full moon
|
|
(which was also in the sky). A yellow flash occurred and the disk
|
|
turned orange. The phenomenon was observed for twelve minutes.
|
|
|
|
September 4, 1967. 21:17 Yevpatoriya
|
|
|
|
N.N. Pronin, senior editor with the "Mysl" publishing house in Moscow,
|
|
accompanied by his wife, saw a white, crescent-shaped object fly over
|
|
from the northeast to the southwest along a straight line at an
|
|
altitude of about 2,500 feet. The object moved with the convex part
|
|
facing forward. The weather was clear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
September 9, 1967. 20:20 Donetsk
|
|
|
|
A witness reported a concave flying object, the color of molten metal,
|
|
accompanied by a bright "star." The phenomenon moved from south to
|
|
east.
|
|
|
|
September 19, 1967. 19:40 Belgogradskaya
|
|
|
|
A witness named A. Serdyukov, who was traveling with a group of

communications technicians, observed a luminous half-moon rising high
|
|
in the sky directly in front of them. It descended rapidly, leaving a
|
|
cone-shaped tail. The men stopped their vehicles to watch it. After
|
|
about forty seconds the half moon appeared to swing in the sky,
|
|
becoming smaller in size, as its color turned to red. It assumed a
|
|
drop-like shape and stopped, hanging in the sky for a minute, after
|
|
which it seemed to dissolve.

Astronomer Z. Kadikov, from Kazan Engelgardt observatory, saw a
|
|
bright object in the northwest. It was a crescent with sharp edges and
|
|
pointed horns, yellow in color with a pale bluish tail, moving at
|
|
about 1.5 degrees per second. It became smaller as it flew and was
|
|
eventually reduced to a point. Finding other witnesses, Kadikov was
|
|
able to triangulate the phenomenon. He estimated it may have been
|
|
about fifty miles above the earth and some 1,800 feet between the
|
|
"horns," flying at about three miles per second.
