Dear Anatoly,

Your e-mail of January 15 (written in Russian in MIME format)
was quite readable, but your e-mail of January 20 (in Windows-
1251) was not (in its Russian-language part, of course). Thank
you for the information on the supposed crash of an unknown
object not far from Kharkov - I did not hear about this. Isn't
there a possibility to find out the title of the newspaper, in
which this report was published? In any case, I will try to
verify it. At present I have no independent confirmation of the
report.

As for the stories about supposed Chernobyl UFOs, this was a
part of my paper "Alien Contacts and Abduction Experiences: a
Look from the C.I.S.", published in MUFON 1994 International UFO
Symposium Proceedings ("Ufology: a Historical Perspective",
Seguin: MUFON, 1994, pp. 138-152). What follows is this fragment
(p. 150):

     "...About one month before the Chernobyl disaster I had a
talk with an air traffic controller of the Kharkov airport. He
told me that, according to pilots' reports, there was a raising
number of UFO observations in the area of the Chernobyl nuclear
power station (ChNPS). I did not pay special attention to this
information, but put it down. After the disaster I took these
notes from my file and for some time stared at them with, I can
suppose, a rather stupid expression on my face.

     Later it became known that on the night of the fire in the
ChNPS, some 3 hours after the explosion, a team of nuclear
specialists saw in the sky over the station a fiery ball of the
color of brass. The witnesses estimated its diameter as 6-8
meters and its distance from the burning nuclear reactor No. 4
as some 300 meters. Just before the observation these
specialists measured the level of radiation in the place where
they were standing. It was measured at 3000 milliroentgens per
hour. "Suddenly two bright rays of crimson color extended from
the ball to the reactor... This lasted for some 3 minutes... The
rays abruptly faded and the ball slowly floated away in a north-
westerly direction, towards Byelorussia. Then we again looked at
our radiation monitor. It displayed only 800 milliroentgens per
hour..." (quoted from: V.Kratokhvil. UFO: A Time Machine. Kiev:
Vypol, 1993, pp. 6-7.)."

Of course, you may use this text at your web-site.

All my best wishes!

Sincerely, Vladimir Rubtsov
