UFO. Vietnam

This story was published in the journal "UFO" in 2004 and since then more never appeared, so it could be just an invention of its author is a certain Solomon Rafferty. However, the story is nevertheless very interesting.

In the summer of 1968 in Northern province Update near the village Donnan working group of Soviet experts who studied the possibility of building a hydropower plant on the territory of the brotherly country. Strategic objectives and major settlement was not around, and because American planes appeared in the sky rare enough that no-one spared. In the night from 12 to 13 August hydrologists was awakened by a low, heavy rumble coming from the sky.

Thinking that it was a "flying fortress" strategic American bomber "b-52", people ran out of the tent and saw black clouds delayed the sky a strange object.

Most of all, he resembled a faceted diamond, emitting a greenish-blue light. After a few moments, to the object from the land rushed the fiery comet. After she came into contact with the object, a bright flash blinded everyone, followed by a powerful shock wave knocked to the ground hydrologists, tore down tents and swept equipment.

Serious damage, fortunately, no one got it, but the explosion (if it was an explosion) was impressed by the enormous. Even I thought that was used a nuclear warhead small capacity. For several hours neither the radio station nor the "Spidola" do not take nothing but crackling static. In the morning, engineers managed to communicate with the Central station and report the incident. They promised to pass the information to the appropriate authorities.

Restoring the order in the camp, people went to the village Donnan, which was located five kilometers from the camp. Weird, but there no damage was not, and the people believed that night behind the storm. Two days later, half a kilometer from the camp found deceased in the ground to half of a black ball with a diameter of about three meters. The surface of the ball was completely black, falling on her light not reflected from the surface. In addition, the balloon cast shadows: low rays of the evening sun around a strange object, falling on the tall grass behind him!

To touch discovery seemed cool and a bit slippery like a drenched soapy water. Knife best Ural steel was not able to write on the black surface, even the smallest of scratches. Experts again contacted the Central base and gave details about the discovery. Quite quickly received the reply: behind all things, to organize guards around the hidden object and wait for him to come to the special group. Particularly to be warned to the ball or closer than twenty meters, no one came and to no one in no way tried to open it, damage and all touch. Disposal, of course, be strictly complied with: the whole group (five persons) located in twenty meters from the ball. Expecting wondered what it could be? The latest military development? Landing a spacecraft? Soviet? American? Or some third party?

The onset of night made the protection of the object is meaningless — in-the-dark ball was impossible to see it, but orders are orders. Gathered in one place from a short, almost invisible campfire, they began to relax. Wasn't expecting: after sunset, the villagers never left the houses, and strangers, lounging through the jungle in a socialist Vietnam to be simply could not. Invisible and silent ball nevertheless made itself felt. Everyone was constantly looking around, staring into the darkness and could not escape the feeling that watching them is something strange and unkind. Such often happens at night in the woods, whether Russian oak forest, the Siberian taiga or the Vietnamese jungle: the body alert alarms unaccountable, out of touch with the real danger. So, at least, had convinced themselves hydrologists.

One of the experts, Boris Ivanov, later wrote in his diary:

"The flames of the fire lit a tiny circle, plunging everything else into total darkness impenetrable. The fire was necessary — not for warmth, of course. In the Vietnamese jungle is found all the wild beasts and the fire, though not a perfect protection, but deters most of them. Rifles lay nearby, all your — people peace as the machines we weren't supposed to, and to what — purpose hunting rifle fires much more accurately.

Five adults, battered men coming and tundra, and taiga, each armed with seemingly something to fear? But we were afraid. Moreover, because of the finds of lost time: it was unknown when they come to special squad. The plan of research, already busy, compromised, and to perform it was necessary to the beginning of the rainy season.

When Vyacheslav G. got up and went into the Bush, we did not pay attention, thought the reason is the most prosaic. When he didn't return in five minutes, and began deliberately to joke, ten called the voice, but Vyacheslav did not return. Illuminating the area with electric lights, we passed two dozen steps after Vyacheslav, in the direction of the ball, but found nothing. To go deep in the thickets did not dare, explaining the futility of searching the whole crowd. To be separated for one was simply unreasonable: if in darkness there was a danger, then such a division could cost the lives of us all. Besides, there was hope that the nest simply do not just Wake up passion to draw. Of the five of us he was the young and the restless.

We returned to the fire, threw firewood, raw, they burn badly, smoke expelled tears. Or not smoke? An hour later, Peter K. silently got up and went into the Bush just as before it there was Vyacheslav. He moved awkwardly, swaying half asleep. We called to him, but softly, softly, we were suddenly engulfed unaccountable anxiety, there was indecision. Peter has not returned. This time we were not looking for missing, and just sat and waited. All possessed a sense of doom.

Two hours later the ball went Vladimir M. it Was evident that he resists with all his strength, but it was attracted by something he could not resist. We were left alone with Sergei T., growing numb from the horror, We tried to get away, to find the way to salvation, all the Cape was Lee — who's next? Looking at how suddenly distorted face of Sergei, I realized that something had chosen him.

He stood up like a limp puppet, and on stiff legs walked into the darkness. Numb for a moment from let me in. Not so much that I could run, but got the forces to take the carbine. I shot myself in the foot and the pain lost consciousness. Perhaps it saved me. The squad arrived this morning. I found the fire extinguished, lost a lot of blood, but of the living. The Orb disappeared. So did my friends."

Boris Ivanov was sure that their group encountered a probe of aliens may be hit by air defense forces of Vietnam. Probably the probe was able to regenerate itself and to leave the Earth. Hydrologists have become the object of his experiment, collectibles or just the aliens were hungry? About Boris Ivanov prefers not to think.
