1 00:00:05,590 --> 00:00:02,790 you are listening to inception radio 2 00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:05,600 network voice of the fringe majority 3 00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:08,240 this is carol carl with ufo headline 4 00:00:17,189 --> 00:00:13,430 tonight you might be able to find the 5 00:00:20,230 --> 00:00:17,199 constellation cepheus cepheus we'll just 6 00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:20,240 stick with what we usually hear cepheus 7 00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:22,640 that represents a king 8 00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:24,880 the constellation is faint but its 9 00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:26,640 distinctive shape makes it easy to 10 00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:29,119 locate if you're looking to the north on 11 00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:31,119 august and september evenings 12 00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:33,280 at nightfall cepheus appears to the 13 00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:36,079 upper right of polaris the north star 14 00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:38,879 then this constellation rotates around 15 00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:41,360 polaris in a counterclockwise direction 16 00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:42,640 during the night 17 00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:44,960 it swirls high over polaris after 18 00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:47,200 midnight and then sweeps to the left 19 00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:49,039 side around dawn 20 00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:51,680 cepheus resembles a stick house that 21 00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:53,920 house we all drew as children and 22 00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,320 children today are still drawing the 23 00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:58,800 square for the base triangle for the 24 00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:59,680 roof 25 00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:02,000 in the case of cepheus the tip of the 26 00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:05,600 roof is a star known as gamma cepheii or 27 00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:08,720 area that's spelled e-r-r-a-i 28 00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:11,040 and it points generally northward 29 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:13,760 oh in the sky though northward well that 30 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,880 always means toward the sky's north pole 31 00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:18,560 or toward polaris 32 00:01:24,149 --> 00:01:21,520 thus the roof of the house in cepheus is 33 00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,159 pointing mostly north even though as 34 00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:26,479 darkness falls that means it's pointing 35 00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:29,759 sideways and downward oh are we dizzy 36 00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,479 yet 37 00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:32,400 when things come back to normal we can 38 00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:34,720 later consult a sky chart the 39 00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:36,960 constellation cepheus the king will be 40 00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:38,960 right there find your way to 41 00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:41,040 ufoheadlinenews.com 42 00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:43,520 for all kinds of sky charts that show 43 00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:45,759 you the constellation of cepheus the 44 00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,079 king in greek mythology cepheus 45 00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:50,560 represents a king of ethiopia 46 00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:53,360 to find cepheus you might want to locate 47 00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,119 that more prominent constellation 48 00:02:00,550 --> 00:01:57,600 cassiopeia the queen she'll also help 49 00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:00,560 you steer your cyber sky ship in that 50 00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:03,759 direction so here's the bottom line let 51 00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:06,399 queen cassiopeia show you the way to the 52 00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:09,039 house of cepheus the king 53 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:11,520 and you can chalk up another success for 54 00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:14,480 spacex here's the headline spacex 55 00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:17,200 successfully launches and recovers 56 00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:21,680 falcon 9 for crs 12. daryl etherington 57 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:25,599 gets the byline here for techcrunch.com 58 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:28,400 spacex has successfully launched yet 59 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:30,480 another rocket this one carrying a 60 00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:33,920 dragon capsule loaded with over 6 400 61 00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:36,160 pounds of cargo destined for the 62 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:38,480 international space station that makes 63 00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:41,680 an even dozen for iss resupply missions 64 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:44,080 launched by spacex under the contract to 65 00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:46,959 nasa and this is the most significant 66 00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:48,879 thus far in terms of potential 67 00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:50,480 scientific impact 68 00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:54,640 crs 12's payload was over 75 committed 69 00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:56,720 to hauling equipment and material for 70 00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,440 astronauts on board iss but this was 71 00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:01,760 intended more to set the stage for a 72 00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:03,760 range of experiments to be conducted by 73 00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:06,480 researchers on board the iss during this 74 00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:08,800 year and in 2018 75 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,640 there's even something called an ar 76 00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,640 system on board designed to help 77 00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:14,720 astronauts improve their general 78 00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,000 efficiency 79 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:18,080 the rocket successfully launched from 80 00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:21,040 nasa's kennedy space center at 12 31 pm 81 00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:23,840 eastern daylight time and dragon 82 00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,840 deployed from the second stage as 83 00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:26,959 planned 84 00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:29,440 dragon will rendezvous with the iss on 85 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:32,959 august 16th for capture by the station's 86 00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:36,159 canadarm ii robotic appendage after 87 00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:38,720 which it will be attached to the rocket 88 00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,879 after roughly a month it will return to 89 00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,560 earth after leaving the international 90 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:44,560 space station with about three thousand 91 00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:47,760 pounds of returned cargo on board and 92 00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:50,000 splashed down in the pacific ocean for 93 00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:52,159 recovery there's another reason this 94 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,000 launch was significant aside from the 95 00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,400 experimental payload which included a 96 00:04:02,070 --> 00:03:58,720 supercomputer designed to help humans 97 00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:02,080 travel to mars spacex will only use 98 00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:05,040 reused dragon capsules for all future 99 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,000 crs missions the company is announced 100 00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:10,239 and that means this is the last time a 101 00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:12,560 brand new dragon will be used to 102 00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:15,280 resupply the iss if all goes according 103 00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,639 to plan 104 00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,239 the launch included an attempt to 105 00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:20,639 recover the falcon 9 first stage for 106 00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:24,320 reuse at spacex's land-based lz1 landing 107 00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:25,280 pad 108 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:27,520 the falcon 9 first returned to earth as 109 00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:29,280 planned and touched down at cape 110 00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:32,000 canaveral roughly nine minutes after 111 00:04:37,749 --> 00:04:35,120 launch here's a delicious segue 112 00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:37,759 a very tasty treat is on its way to 113 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:40,479 astronauts aboard the space station 114 00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:43,199 trevor mogg gets the byline for digital 115 00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:44,479 trends 116 00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:46,000 astronauts aboard the international 117 00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:48,080 space station are about to take delivery 118 00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:49,759 well they have at the time you're 119 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:52,560 hearing this delivery of goods from a 120 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:54,479 dragon capsule following another 121 00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:56,800 successful rocket launched by spacex at 122 00:05:02,950 --> 00:04:59,600 the kennedy space center this particular 123 00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:02,960 6400 pound delivery contains a bundle of 124 00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:04,880 science experiments that include a 125 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:06,960 number of live mice 126 00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,560 but the astronauts probably have their 127 00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:10,479 mind on something else that's been 128 00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:13,600 packed inside the capsule something cold 129 00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:16,639 sweet and really rather tasty something 130 00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:18,880 they don't get much of in space 131 00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:22,080 we're talking ice cream who wants ice 132 00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:25,360 cream oh the unmanned dragon cargo ship 133 00:05:31,029 --> 00:05:28,400 is currently on its way to the iss and 134 00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,039 it has arrived of course by now it's 135 00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:33,360 then says trevor mogg who writes this 136 00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:35,759 that all hell could break loose on the 137 00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:37,919 space station as the crew scrambles to 138 00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:40,000 get at the freezer containing this icy 139 00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:40,880 treat 140 00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:44,160 packed into 30 small cups the ice cream 141 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,039 flavors include chocolate vanilla and 142 00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:49,600 birthday cake presumably that particular 143 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:51,280 one is for newly arrived american 144 00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:54,560 astronaut randolph bresnik randy bresnik 145 00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:56,800 who turns 50 in september 146 00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:59,120 deliveries to the iss of regular ice 147 00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:01,680 cream not that nasty freeze-dried 148 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:04,319 astronaut ice cream don't happen every 149 00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,120 day and so the current space station 150 00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:09,520 crew is in for a real treat as long as 151 00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,440 they like ice cream that is 152 00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:14,160 by coincidence or design there's also 153 00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:15,840 another kind of ice cream heading to the 154 00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:17,840 space station aboard the dragon 155 00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:20,479 it's actually a scientific experiment 156 00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:22,800 which is called the cosmic ray 157 00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:25,360 energetics and mass 158 00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:27,759 which nasa is calling 159 00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:29,360 iss 160 00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:30,400 cream 161 00:06:33,909 --> 00:06:32,080 see what they did there 162 00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:33,919 the three-year experiment will measure 163 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:36,479 the charges of cosmic rays with 164 00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:38,400 collected data helping researchers with 165 00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:41,360 the quote fundamental questions about 166 00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:43,919 origins and histories of cosmic rays 167 00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:45,840 building a stronger understanding of the 168 00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:48,240 basic structure of the universe end 169 00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:50,319 quotes and that's nasa 170 00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:52,479 the last time we heard of iss astronauts 171 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:55,120 getting excited about food was when they 172 00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:57,520 tried some lettuce that they grew on 173 00:07:01,990 --> 00:06:59,840 board back in 2015. 174 00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,000 no the excitement didn't come from their 175 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:04,479 overriding love for the leafy green 176 00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:07,520 vegetable but instead because it was the 177 00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:09,759 first food grown and harvested right 178 00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:11,680 there on the space station the 179 00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,520 lettuce-based meal was part of an 180 00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:15,520 ongoing research to find ways for 181 00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:17,759 astronauts to grow food in space so they 182 00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:19,280 can sustain themselves on future 183 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:21,440 missions into deep space 184 00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:23,599 it's not clear if nasa is working on an 185 00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:26,960 ice cream maker oh we're just picturing 186 00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:30,160 the good humor man in space all suited 187 00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:33,759 up handing out those eclair bars yum 188 00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:35,520 it's way back wednesday and we'll 189 00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:38,400 continue with our saga of cosmonauts 190 00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:41,280 generals and aliens but first in order 191 00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:43,599 to test the efficacy of our time machine 192 00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:45,520 for today we're going to wander back and 193 00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:48,400 forth our story about the aliens and the 194 00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:51,120 cosmonauts that takes place in 80 and 195 00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:55,199 81. let's go back to 1930 shall we 196 00:08:01,990 --> 00:07:58,960 here's a headline ufo 1930 197 00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:02,000 an alabama family account 198 00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:04,639 well this is cheryl costa so settle back 199 00:08:07,589 --> 00:08:05,759 and enjoy 200 00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:07,599 she writes this for her column new york 201 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:10,479 skies ufo blog which appears in the 202 00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:13,280 syracuse new times and cheryl writes 203 00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,639 this in the first person so here we go 204 00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:18,160 during the four years i've been writing 205 00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:21,120 this blog i've noticed that some ufo 206 00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:23,520 accounts citing accounts seem to be 207 00:08:27,589

00:18:13,760 cosmonauts vladimir kavlianik and viktor 455 00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:17,120 savinki supposedly established contact 456 00:18:21,669 --> 00:18:20,559 with an object of unknown origin and its 457 00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:21,679 occupants 458 00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:23,360 at the time the cosmonauts were working 459 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,320 on board the solute 6 orbital station 460 00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:28,480 this object seemed to be half the size 461 00:18:32,230 --> 00:18:30,400 of the solute six which was about eight 462 00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:32,240 meters in size 463 00:18:37,270 --> 00:18:35,039 that ufo remained in position for the 464 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:37,280 rest of the day and the next day was 465 00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:40,080 only a hundred meters away at that 466 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:42,080 distance the cosmonauts were able to get 467 00:18:47,029 --> 00:18:44,160 a better look they couldn't see anything 468 00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:47,039 that indicated some source of propulsion 469 00:18:51,909 --> 00:18:48,960 nothing they could detect would have 470 00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:51,919 given the ship an impulse to get closer 471 00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:56,080 this ship had 24 windows on three levels 472 00:19:01,190 --> 00:18:58,799 and the cosmonauts could also see three 473 00:19:03,669 --> 00:19:01,200 humanoid creatures inside creatures 474 00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:03,679 wearing helmets but they could still see 475 00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:07,039 their faces big eyebrows straight noses 476 00:19:11,909 --> 00:19:09,440 and big blue eyes eyes that didn't 477 00:19:14,789 --> 00:19:11,919 express any emotion in fact according to 478 00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:14,799 the cosmonauts none of the muscles of 479 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:17,280 the faces of these creatures was moving 480 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:19,679 all their movements seemed normal but 481 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:22,480 somewhat mechanical artificial 482 00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:25,919 so contacting their version of houston 483 00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:27,760 the cosmonauts requested permission from 484 00:19:30,950 --> 00:19:29,840 earth to try some visual and physical 485 00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:30,960 contact 486 00:19:43,029 --> 00:19:40,720 cosmonaut cavaliana grabbed and opened a 487 00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:43,039 map of the universe and held it toward 488 00:19:46,470 --> 00:19:44,240 the beings 489 00:19:48,150 --> 00:19:46,480 they answered by opening their map which 490 00:19:49,430 --> 00:19:48,160 seemed to be much more precise more 491 00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:49,440 complete 492 00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:51,760 the occupants of the other craft pointed 493 00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:55,039 to the solar system inside the milky way 494 00:20:00,150 --> 00:19:57,360 and then kovalyanik made a positive sign 495 00:20:02,070 --> 00:20:00,160 with his hands the beings answered with 496 00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:02,080 the same gesture 497 00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:04,320 and then the spaceship went away very 498 00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:06,799 fast but soon came back 499 00:20:12,150 --> 00:20:09,120 the ship repeated this action six times 500 00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:12,160 in all with no clear reason and then at 501 00:20:16,630 --> 00:20:14,400 that point using a powerful flashlight 502 00:20:19,270 --> 00:20:16,640 kovalyanik tried to communicate via 503 00:20:21,750 --> 00:20:19,280 morse code he signaled quote soviet 504 00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:21,760 cosmonauts salute earth visitors and 505 00:20:26,150 --> 00:20:23,440 quotes in russian 506 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,160 no understanding there so he tried the 507 00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:28,799 signal in english saying are you 508 00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:30,159 receiving us 509 00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:32,320 no answer again 510 00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:35,600 and then he tried to use binary language 511 00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:39,280 he signaled one zero one one zero one 512 00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:41,760 with his flashlight and astonishing the 513 00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:44,159 message in return wasn't a simple answer 514 00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:47,280 it used a logarithm to the base used by 515 00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:49,600 kovalianik the next day the beings were 516 00:20:55,110 --> 00:20:52,720 flying outside the ship again upon 517 00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,120 requesting permission to disembark that 518 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:57,360 permission was denied by the fourth day 519 00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:00,240 the ship simply vanished the upshot of 520 00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:02,480 this extraordinary contact was that on 521 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:07,200 june 18th 1981 the gaz plan the economic 522 00:21:12,870 --> 00:21:09,919 council of the then soviet union called 523 00:21:15,830 --> 00:21:12,880 an extraordinary meeting several soviet 524 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:15,840 authorities ufologists and cosmonauts 525 00:21:21,110 --> 00:21:18,480 attended that meeting and kovaleonic 526 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:21,120 presented the video he filmed 45 minutes 527 00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:25,280 long showing the ufo and its beings 528 00:21:29,430 --> 00:21:27,760 there were other sightings by cosmonauts 529 00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:29,440 such as things that appear to be 530 00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:32,159 beautiful christmas tree decorations 531 00:21:38,149 --> 00:21:35,600 seen over newfoundland bright shiny 532 00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:38,159 glittering there were two golden spheres 533 00:21:42,630 --> 00:21:40,400 seen by another cosmonaut let's hear 534 00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:42,640 from soviet air force cosmonaut general 535 00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:45,679 pavel romanovich popovich 536 00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:48,400 quote i had only one personal encounter 537 00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:50,320 with something unknown something we 538 00:21:54,950 --> 00:21:52,240 could not explain 539 00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:54,960 this was in 1978 on a flight from 540 00:22:01,110 --> 00:21:57,520 washington to moscow we were flying at 541 00:22:03,190 --> 00:22:01,120 an altitude of 30 600 feet and suddenly 542 00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:03,200 when i looked out through the windshield 543 00:22:08,950 --> 00:22:06,240 i noticed something flying about 4 500 544 00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:08,960 feet above us on a parallel course 545 00:22:14,390 --> 00:22:12,320 a glowing white equilateral triangle 546 00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:14,400 resembling a sail 547 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:16,880 since our speed was 600 miles per hour 548 00:22:21,669 --> 00:22:18,880 that triangle must have had a speed of 549 00:22:22,950 --> 00:22:21,679 at least 900 miles per hour since it 550 00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:22,960 overtook us 551 00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:24,880 i called the attention of all passengers 552 00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:27,280 and crew members about this object 553 00:22:31,909 --> 00:22:29,840 we tried to find out what it was but all 554 00:22:34,549 --> 00:22:31,919 attempts to identify it as something 555 00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:34,559 known ultimately failed 556 00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:36,960 this object looked like a ufo and it 557 00:22:41,029 --> 00:22:39,120 remains unidentified 558 00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:41,039 it did not look like an airplane since 559 00:22:45,270 --> 00:22:43,200 it was a perfect triangle 560 00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:45,280 at that time no airplane had such a 561 00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:46,480 shape 562 00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:48,960 and now a quote from the head of the 563 00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:51,200 general zhukov high command academy of 564 00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:54,159 air defense in tivor russia former high 565 00:22:58,549 --> 00:22:56,720 commander of air defense for the far 566 00:23:01,590 --> 00:22:58,559 east a man by the name of colonel 567 00:23:03,909 --> 00:23:01,600 general gennady reshetnikov 568 00:23:06,149 --> 00:23:03,919 he says quote yes there were 569 00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:06,159 particularly mysterious occurrences 570 00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:08,480 during military practice 571 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:11,280 at times targets appeared on which 572 00:23:15,669 --> 00:23:14,159 fighters in the air or radar set for 573 00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:15,679 anti-aircraft missiles trained 574 00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:16,720 themselves 575 00:23:20,950 --> 00:23:18,720 but it was difficult to determine what 576 00:23:23,510 --> 00:23:20,960 these were exactly 577 00:23:26,390 --> 00:23:23,520 there were situations when a target 578 00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:26,400 answered to the signal i'm your plane we 579 00:23:31,029 --> 00:23:28,720 have such a system of inquiry 580 00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:31,039 or the other way around it wouldn't 581 00:23:35,669 --> 00:23:32,400 answer at all 582 00:23:38,390 --> 00:23:35,679 it was considered incomprehensible 583 00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:38,400 moreover i'm aware of situations when as 584 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:40,480 planes which had been sent into the air 585 00:23:44,310 --> 00:23:42,559 were opening their side sites they 586 00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:44,320 discovered a target 587 00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:46,240 but upon reaching the determined 588 00:23:50,149 --> 00:23:48,320 distance at which the automatic weapon 589 00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:50,159 system which dispatched the missile 590 00:23:54,549 --> 00:23:53,039 should have operated suddenly the system 591 00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:54,559 broke down 592 00:24:00,070 --> 00:23:58,080 everything disappeared even the target 593 00:24:01,990 --> 00:24:00,080 or maybe the plane warped through space 594 00:24:03,990 --> 00:24:02,000 to another position 595 00:24:06,390 --> 00:24:04,000 they would conduct another attack again 596 00:24:08,789 --> 00:24:06,400 the same result these were interesting 597 00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:08,799 and mysterious occurrences 598 00:24:12,789 --> 00:24:10,640 we try to take into account the problem 599 00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:12,799 of ufos quite a bit of interesting 600 00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:15,360 material has appeared and it's perfectly 601 00:24:19,669 --> 00:24:17,760 obvious that this needs to be studied in 602 00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:19,679 earnest and that it's necessary to 603 00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:21,760 address the question on a governmental 604 00:24:24,549 --> 00:24:22,880 level 605 00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:24,559 right now people are more and more 606 00:24:31,110 --> 00:24:27,200 inclined to believe that ufos exist 607 00:24:33,669 --> 00:24:31,120 but what stands behind this he continues 608 00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:33,679 a bit earlier at the end of the 1970s 609 00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:36,720 and the start of the 1980s i flew into 610 00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:38,720 the arctic circle to the place where 611 00:24:44,470 --> 00:24:41,039 eyewitnesses had seen some kind of 612 00:24:46,630 --> 00:24:44,480 cigar-shaped apparatus with portholes 613 00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:46,640 this was how the press in this area was 614 00:24:50,549 --> 00:24:48,080 describing it 615 00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:50,559 this happened in the region of norsk 616 00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:52,960 the object was seen several times 617 00:24:57,029 --> 00:24:55,200 traces were discovered but no one 618 00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:57,039 conducted any kind of serious research 619 00:24:59,990 --> 00:24:57,840 there 620 00:25:02,149 --> 00:25:00,000 when this became known to me i flew 621 00:25:04,230 --> 00:25:02,159 there in a helicopter in order to 622 00:25:07,029 --> 00:25:04,240 examine the place we even traveled out 623 00:25:08,789 --> 00:25:07,039 to the same place an extra time but we 624 00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:08,799 didn't succeed in noticing anything 625 00:25:12,549 --> 00:25:09,919 special 626 00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:12,559 concerning the sending of airplanes in 627 00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:14,320 particularly when we were in the 628 00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:16,480 framework of the soviet union it's 629 00:25:21,669 --> 00:25:19,120 necessary to say that battle duties were 630 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:21,679 kept up rigidly and we sent up planes 631 00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:24,240 without all kinds of restrictions 632 00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:26,240 now we send up planes very deliberately 633 00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:28,559 on account of economic conditions 634 00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:31,039 but personally i many times ordered 635 00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:33,279 aircraft to determine if something is a 636 00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:36,240 ufo or not they were unidentified 637 00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:38,080 targets for us 638 00:25:41,830 --> 00:25:39,840 yes there have been several cases in 639 00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:41,840 which they turned out to be mysterious 640 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:44,000 unknown targets on which the different 641 00:25:49,430 --> 00:25:46,720 detecting systems reacted including our 642 00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:49,440 land sea and airspace surveillance 643 00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:51,120 sometimes our weapon systems were 644 00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:54,400 activated because of these objects and 645 00:25:59,350 --> 00:25:56,960 then there's this testimony from major 646 00:26:02,950 --> 00:25:59,360 general vasily alexey of russian air 647 00:26:05,029 --> 00:26:02,960 force space communications center moscow 648 00:26:07,990 --> 00:26:05,039 if we are speaking about my military 649 00:26:10,149 --> 00:26:08,000 capacity it was in the 1980s when i 650 00:26:12,310 --> 00:26:10,159 happened to be serving not in a regular 651 00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:12,320 unit but in the central staff 652 00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:14,080 working in the central staff entails 653 00:26:18,630 --> 00:26:16,480 close links with the units in the field 654 00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:18,640 and a large amount of traveling there 655 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:20,799 were many reports from unit levels 656 00:26:25,909 --> 00:26:23,520 regarding a large number of observations 657 00:26:27,750 --> 00:26:25,919 of unexplained phenomena 658 00:26:29,590 --> 00:26:27,760 you should bear in mind that at the time 659 00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:29,600 much was simply denied 660 00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:31,600 the subject was to a large extent a 661 00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:33,120 closed one 662 00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:35,760 on the ground however people wanted to 663 00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:38,320 find out what was what to separate truth 664 00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:39,600 from fiction 665 00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:41,200 in that period a lot of things were 666 00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:43,360 presented in such a way that you lost 667 00:26:48,310 --> 00:26:46,080 the desire to believe 668 00:26:50,470 --> 00:26:48,320 accordingly an attitude to the subject 669 00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:50,480 became established where not only was 670 00:26:56,710 --> 00:26:53,760 there no desire to believe it was even 671 00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:56,720 undesirable to believe 672 00:27:01,029 --> 00:26:58,400 nevertheless the information coming in 673 00:27:03,110 --> 00:27:01,039 from the bases was of interest if only 674 00:27:05,350 --> 00:27:03,120 because it was not merely talk and 675 00:27:07,430 --> 00:27:05,360 rumors there were eyewitnesses to 676 00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:07,440 phenomena and that was reflected in 677 00:27:10,789 --> 00:27:09,679 specific documents and in reports from 678 00:27:12,870 --> 00:27:10,799 officials 679 00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:12,880 at times this information was of such a 680 00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:14,960 fascinating nature that it was 681 00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:17,760 impossible not to believe it 682 00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:19,440 later the question no longer seemed so 683 00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:20,480 fantastic 684 00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:22,960 and began to be examined at the level 685 00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:25,520 not only of the defense ministry but 686 00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:27,840 other government departments as well 687 00:27:32,630 --> 00:27:30,000 this interest specifically expressed 688 00:27:34,789 --> 00:27:32,640 itself in certain experts being sent to 689 00:27:38,149 --> 00:27:34,799 investigate especially to those places 690 00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:38,159 where ufos let's call them that appeared 691 00:27:43,350 --> 00:27:40,880 quite frequently i know a whole number 692 00:27:45,669 --> 00:27:43,360 of military bases in that category as a 693 00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:45,679 rule they are of strategic significance 694 00:27:50,390 --> 00:27:47,840 rocket complexes scientific test 695 00:27:52,390 --> 00:27:50,400 establishments in other words the places 696 00:27:55,110 --> 00:27:52,400 where there is a high concentration of 697 00:27:56,389 --> 00:27:55,120 advanced science and to some degree 698 00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:56,399 danger 699 00:28:00,389 --> 00:27:58,720 because every nuclear rocket every air 700 00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:00,399 force installation represents a 701 00:28:05,590 --> 00:28:02,399 breakthrough both in science and in 702 00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:05,600 military terms it is first and foremost 703 00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:08,880 a peak the summit of human achievement 704 00:28:13,510 --> 00:28:12,080 and that is where ufos here appeared 705 00:28:15,269 --> 00:28:13,520 fairly often 706 00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:15,279 moreover individual officers and 707 00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:17,520 commanders on the spot who knew about 708 00:28:21,430 --> 00:28:19,360 the phenomenon and had no official 709 00:28:24,710 --> 00:28:21,440 instructions on the matter acted on 710 00:28:27,190 --> 00:28:24,720 their own initiative to investigate ufos 711 00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:27,200 recording data and so on 712 00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:29,120 i know that in some places they even 713 00:28:33,669 --> 00:28:31,679 learned to create a situation which 714 00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:33,679 would deliberately provoke the 715 00:28:38,389 --> 00:28:36,080 appearance of a ufo 716 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:38,399 a ufo would appear where there was 717 00:28:43,909 --> 00:28:40,720 increased military activity connected 718 00:28:45,029 --> 00:28:43,919 say with the transportation of special 719 00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:45,039 loads 720 00:28:50,070 --> 00:28:47,360 it was enough to artificially stimulate 721 00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:50,080 or schedule such a move for a ufo to 722 00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:52,240 appear in other words 723 00:28:57,750 --> 00:28:55,200 some kind of conditional relationship 724 00:28:59,669 --> 00:28:57,760 emerged and they detected it 725 00:29:00,870 --> 00:28:59,679 we're an intelligent nation nothing 726 00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:00,880 escapes us 727 00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:03,360 i know that at certain testing ranges i 728 00:29:06,230 --> 00:29:05,200 won't name them although it's no longer 729 00:29:09,110 --> 00:29:06,240 a secret 730 00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:09,120 they even learned to make contact of a 731 00:29:14,549 --> 00:29:12,240 kind what did that consist of first the 732 00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:14,559 ufo appeared in most instances as a 733 00:29:19,029 --> 00:29:16,720 sphere but there were other kinds 734 00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:19,039 contact was achieved with the help of 735 00:29:23,590 --> 00:29:21,360 physical indications of behavior 736 00:29:26,310 --> 00:29:23,600 pointing your arms in various directions 737 00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:26,320 say the ufo sphere would be flattened in 738 00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:28,480 that direction raise your arms three 739 00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:31,440 times the ufo would flatten three times 740 00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:34,240 vertically in that direction as well 741 00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:37,120 amazing contact you decide gentle 742 00:29:41,669 --> 00:29:39,360 listeners thanks again to the man in the 743 00:29:43,750 -->
