It is believed that the first fake photograph of a UFO in USSR, specifically designed to "play a trick" on the UFO, was the picture taken in 1978 by the famous composer Nikita Theological.

He came up with the legend, complicating the investigation: it came out that the authors of the picture now I live in Paris and contact them impossible.

On the website miger.ru (journalist Mikhail Gershtein) contains a record of the history:

Dear Felix Yurievich!

After receiving Your letter I wrote to my old friend living about 30 years in Bulgaria. She was married to a Bulgarian doctor M. Atanasova, who died a year and a half ago in Sofia. He sent me an existing photo. Svetlana has just moved in with my sister in Paris, what she tells me.

In the attached letter to me S. Zavoyko (now Atanasova) tells about a particular thing. I have othercol, because the rest is purely personal.

I wish You every success in Your exciting business.

Sincerely, N. Bogoslovsky Moscow, 12.11.1980 G.

 

Paris, 4 September 1980

Dear friend Nikita!

...In late July of 1978 my husband and I about 7 o'clock in the evening drinking coffee on the balcony of our apartment in Stara Zagora. The sky was covered with dark clouds, sometimes flashed distant lightning, but no thunder. Suddenly, Milenko, looking at the sky, uttered a loud cry. Right before our eyes, at a distance of about 400-500 meters, amid domes of the Church of St. Cyril, hung motionless in the air a strange object: translucent, slightly cambered disk in the middle of which was dark, slightly elongated along the axis of the ball-like cocoon. From the disk was very weak white light, completely illuminating the surrounding space.

Mylene quickly ran for the camera "Polaroid" and we, despite the onset of dusk, took two frames (more film in the camera was not), one of which Mylene and sent to You at the same time through our mutual friend Vladimir Afonin, with a request to show photo specialists. Well, it's not lost, because the second photo was lost in the depths of our periodical press.

...Disc still hung about ten minutes, then out of the dark mass in the centre there was a thin, bright emerald green beam is directed vertically to the ground. And in a second the whole apparatus (UFO?) disappeared instantly, as if vanished into thin air. Maybe became invisible?

Unfortunately, almost all the neighbors were in the country and no one, except the old woman dwornicki Anna Paceway not seen this phenomenon, and she began to doubt and to refer to "God's sign". Maybe in the city too, were the witnesses?

We haven't told anyone about this incident, as friends, knowing a gay character Milena, I would have considered it a hoax, and the for a clever photo montage.

As for subjective feelings, that my husband and I about an hour was ringing in my ears (although "phenomena" wasn't any sounds). But then it was gone without a trace. And again, in the time of the disappearance of the UFO a light on the balcony abruptly blinked.

Your faithful friend: Svetlana Zavoyko-Atanasov.

This well-known and reputable Soviet ufologist Feliks zigel found no traces of forgery, and stated:

"Photo quality is great. Visible jets of matter, which emits a solid "core" of the object. These jets form shlemovidnym shell of the UFO, which gives it similarities with other cometary UFO".

Even write that he was extremely pleased with this picture and even gave N. Theological handwritten copy of the report with his autograph.

Only in 1989, after the death of Siegel, Nikita Vladimirovich told in the journal "Science and life", how was this photo taken:

"Black bread crumbs I rolled up into a ball, put it in a round hole transparent glass socket, which is put on a candlestick, that it flowed stearin. Stuck in the flesh of a match tied to it with thin transparent fishing line, put this structure on the balcony stick for drying clothes and took a few pictures in contour, against the dark afternoon clouds..."

And then Nikita Vladimirovich confirmed the story and in the pages of "Komsomolskaya Pravda" ("Komsomol Pravda" of 16 August 2001).
