RUSSIANS PLAY FAVORITE DISCS - UFO'S OVER MOSCOW MOSCOW
(Reuter) - Russia's flying saucer season has opened again, with three
sightings reported as a diversion for millions exhausted by economic and
political crises. Disc-shaped things from outer space have
disappeared from most horizons in the world but Russians regularly
report them. A reputable news agency said Thursday that two
Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) visited Moscow in recent days while a
third surprised a military pilot in the Russian Far East. RIA news
agency said the first flying saucer, spotted on the night of Aug. 4,
spent almost an hour flying over the Penta Hotel in central Moscow,
trailing white and blue-colored fire. Another was seen swooping down
on a 24-story building the following night. A third was spotted in
the Far East by a military pilot.
"The UFO did not cause any harm to the pilot although he flew around it
twice. It was very bright, and made of a silver-like metal the pilot had
never seen before," RIA said.
From faith healing to things that go bump in the night, Russians love
strange phenomena. Occurrences like flying saucers are reported with
great seriousness in the media.
Russians' centuries-old addiction to miracles and magic, suppressed
under communist rule, is once again reviving amid the chaos following
the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It's not all a figment of the imagination -- they even plan to
manufacture them here, more or less.
The newspaper Izvestia recently carried an article by Viktor Litovkin
that the Saratov aircraft plant was working on a real-life "Flying Saucer"
aviation project.
Experimental models have already flown, the daily said.
The proposed 120-ton cargo-carrying "saucer," with a diameter of 82 foot
and operating on a cushion of air, would cost about $70 million to
produce.
There was no clear word about the crew -- usually portrayed as bug-eyed
little green men. REUTER--
