The Alien. Ukraine

Moscow, to the magazine "Science and life".

It happened in I957, in the month of July, I don't remember the number. I worked as an accountant in the Khmelnitsky region of the Chemeroveciy district in the Gukovsky MTS.

At lunchtime we went to the park with my partner to play chess. We lost 15-20 minutes, about us at a distance of 40-50 meters above the Ground in the air appeared from such a seiva, as in the picture. I didn't pay attention to it. I looked towards the north, two big men are coming towards us, and we are playing. But while one man

he ran up to us and said in Ukrainian:

"I'll help you."

I did not allow his hand to reach the chessboard, but with my hand I blocked the chessboard. If I looked at this man in profile, his face was red-cheeked, handsome, a man's nose, longish. We have such a tractor-chess player, I thought it was him, there is no time to be considered, we play on.

My friend asked who it was, I said:

"Tabensky."

He looked at his back as he walked away from us and said:

"This is not Tabensky, he is much higher than Tabensky."

And these two men went to the standing harvesters.

I looked at the chessboard, and my pieces checkmated my friend. I told my friend:

"How do we play? You should checkmate."

He told me that I had deceived him, and said: I don't want to play anymore, I'm getting sleepy. He lies down with his face to the ground, and I lay down with my face to the sky and said:

"Borya, look what's above us."

He didn't want to look right away, then he looked and said: how beautiful, like a rainbow, and something is moving inside... I am now sure that a man from outer space has checkmated us. Judge me however you want, but it's true. People of great stature, it's a pity I didn't look him straight in the face.

This big ball was above us at an altitude of 100-150 meters. Six small balls appeared to him, some hid in him or near him, and others moved away from the big ball for 30 meters and disappeared; so the big ball itself disappeared.

I wrote a letter to my friend, with whom I played chess, about this case, he gave me an answer that he did not remember anything.

Dear comrades, I am writing this truthfully, I read in the magazine No. 11 for 1980 the article "The Legend of Aliens" by V. Gubarev and in vain he called it a legend. I am an elderly man, a pensioner, and it would be a shame for me, an old man, to state such subjects as lies. To this end, I wrote a poem in Ukrainian, but I can't do it in Russian. (the poem "Rocket" follows).

What he saw and happened to me, he wrote the truth and only the truth.
