UFO. Russia

Novgorod region, Valdai district, Lake Velya, Osinushka village, August 2009.

One day in August 2009, I happened to visit the village of Osinushka on business, which is described by the Strugatskys in the fantastic story "The Beetle in the anthill" and is located in the southwestern tip of the Valley.

Osinushka is undoubtedly a mysterious place. People settled here before our era – archaeological finds confirm this and inexplicable phenomena constantly occurred and occur. Moreover, the locals seem to be so used to the miracles happening around that they do not pay due attention to them, taking what is happening for granted. So this time, baba Masha, who was guarding the Aspen Trees, quite casually mentioned that she had seen a UFO over the village. She said it as if it was a completely common phenomenon - a flying saucer near the house.

And when we asked if she had photographed an unidentified object, she waved it away:

- Ay, but what's there... what kind of nonsense? I have nothing else to do…

As a result, baba Masha, we found out that a UFO visited the village and moved over it for two weeks in a row! Around midnight, the object invariably appeared over one end of the village and then flew to the other. What attracted extraterrestrial intelligence in Osinushka for so long, apparently, will forever remain a mystery.
