00:00:06,170 --> 00:00:03,110
this latest booklet published in 1998

2
00:00:09,049 --> 00:00:06,180
was compiled by military authorities

3
00:00:11,690 --> 00:00:09,059
it records nearly 500 cases during a

4
00:00:17,570 --> 00:00:11,700
12-month period including one of the

5
00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:19,970
it happened over Saint Petersburg in the

6
00:00:24,890 --> 00:00:22,920
winter of 1997 when a series of

7
00:00:26,689 --> 00:00:24,900
mysterious lights appeared in the sky

8
00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:26,699
over the city

9
00:00:31,250 --> 00:00:28,740
multiple Witnesses several different

10
00:00:33,770 --> 00:00:31,260
video recordings and the involvement of

11
00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:33,780
air traffic controllers make this one of

12
00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:36,239
the most comprehensively documented UFO

13
00:00:45,049 --> 00:00:42,709
thank you the Saint Petersburg incident

14
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:45,059
was officially investigated by Captain

15
00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:50,480
Pavel serchenko a Russian naval officer

16
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:52,860
the incident that we're interested in

17
00:00:58,010 --> 00:00:55,320
today took place on the 19th of February

18
00:00:59,869 --> 00:00:58,020
1997 and was seen in a variety of

19
00:01:02,330 --> 00:00:59,879
different places in and around Saint

20
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:02,340
Petersburg it began at seven in the

21
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:05,880
evening and went on until about 7 20. at

22
00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:07,619
three minutes past seven they started to

23
00:01:11,570 --> 00:01:09,900
see the UFO at poclova airport

24
00:01:13,370 --> 00:01:11,580
air traffic controllers who are

25
00:01:14,570 --> 00:01:13,380
monitoring the runways saw it from the

26
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:14,580
control tower where they were working

27
00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:16,640
that night

28
00:01:23,210 --> 00:01:20,820
on the 19th of February in 1997 I was a

29
00:01:24,770 --> 00:01:23,220
witness at the time to an unidentified

30
00:01:26,749 --> 00:01:24,780
flying object

31
00:01:28,850 --> 00:01:26,759
that evening I was working in the

32
00:01:31,490 --> 00:01:28,860
control tower and the incident took

33
00:01:33,710 --> 00:01:31,500
place right in front of my eyes

34
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:33,720
I began to make some notes about what

35
00:01:38,749 --> 00:01:36,479
was happening the weather conditions the

36
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:38,759
time of the sighting and the sequence of

37
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:40,320
events

38
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:42,720
as I was watching it I started to make

39
00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:45,240
some sketches little bright dots were

40
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,220
flying up towards this group of orange

41
00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:49,200
red lights from the left

42
00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:51,780
and about four minutes later the light

43
00:01:55,789 --> 00:01:53,880
seems to go away but within another

44
00:01:57,289 --> 00:01:55,799
couple of minutes the lights had

45
00:02:00,170 --> 00:01:57,299
reappeared

46
00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:00,180
now the shape of the lights had changed

47
00:02:05,149 --> 00:02:03,119
so I made a sketch of that as well and

48
00:02:07,069 --> 00:02:05,159
gradually these lights began to move

49
00:02:09,469 --> 00:02:07,079
about among themselves

50
00:02:11,869 --> 00:02:09,479
some of the others saw the u4 through

51
00:02:14,030 --> 00:02:11,879
their binoculars I was able to keep

52
00:02:16,850 --> 00:02:14,040
track of the lights so that I could make

53
00:02:19,309 --> 00:02:16,860
some notes although I was directing air

54
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:19,319
traffic at the time I kept in touch with

55
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:22,080
the people working beside me one of the

56
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:24,780
aircraft was out on the runway so I

57
00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:27,120
asked them if they could see a u4 and

58
00:02:39,530 --> 00:02:37,790
reports began to come in from different

59
00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:39,540
locations at about the same time

60
00:02:43,790 --> 00:02:41,640
confirming that unidentified flying

61
00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:43,800
objects were being seen illuminated

62
00:02:46,610 --> 00:02:45,660
objects which appeared to be out of the

63
00:02:48,530 --> 00:02:46,620
ordinary

64
00:02:50,690 --> 00:02:48,540
several of the eyewitnesses managed to

65
00:02:56,089 --> 00:02:50,700
photograph this phenomenon and also to

66
00:03:00,170 --> 00:02:58,009
that night there were at least three

67
00:03:02,270 --> 00:03:00,180
separate video recordings of the UFO

68
00:03:07,509 --> 00:03:02,280
taken from different positions in Saint

69
00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:10,310
thank you

00:03:23,210 --> 00:03:20,239
[Music]

71
00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:23,220
yuria zamitza for young economic student

72
00:03:30,589 --> 00:03:25,140
was one of those who managed to

73
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:33,170
I went into the kitchen and saw orange

74
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:36,080
colored lights and thought it was a UFO

75
00:03:41,570 --> 00:03:39,360
why a UFO well when I was a child I was

76
00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:41,580
interested in UFOs and the cut articles

77
00:03:46,910 --> 00:03:44,700
out of the newspapers I remembered how I

78
00:03:48,410 --> 00:03:46,920
used to follow the subject and it

79
00:03:51,229 --> 00:03:48,420
immediately occurred to me that this was

80
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,239
an unidentified flying object one reason

81
00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:53,280
was that the lights appeared to be quite

82
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:56,159
high in the sky it was dark and the

83
00:04:00,410 --> 00:03:57,840
lights were clearly visible above the

84
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,420
line of the Horizon and higher up there

85
00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:02,400
with some very bright lights which had

86
00:04:07,550 --> 00:04:04,860
not been there before I thought it must

87
00:04:11,949 --> 00:04:07,560
be a UFO and that I should get my camera

88
00:04:16,969 --> 00:04:14,990
family had all witnessed the lights but

89
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:16,979
like everyone else in the city they had

90
00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:26,030
I'm not an expert in this field so I

91
00:04:31,249 --> 00:04:28,380
can't say anything officially I was just

92
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:31,259
a night Ness well maybe better qualified

93
00:04:35,689 --> 00:04:33,600
than the men in the street because I

94
00:04:38,210 --> 00:04:35,699
compared visual information notes and

95
00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:38,220
readings from the radar I can only say

96
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:39,960
it was definitely some sort of

97
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:42,080
unidentified object

98
00:04:47,150 --> 00:04:44,100
extraterrestrial or some sort of secret

99
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,160
tests I have to say I can't understand

100
00:04:51,650 --> 00:04:49,199
the need for secret test over Saint

101
00:04:53,330 --> 00:04:51,660
Petersburg but to say that it was

102
00:04:56,090 --> 00:04:53,340
evidence of some extraterrestrial

103
00:04:58,490 --> 00:04:56,100
civilization it would be interesting to

104
00:05:09,650 --> 00:04:58,500
say yes but I really don't know enough

105
00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:38,920
no because
