Reports of UFOs coming in print, on radio and TV. UFO observed in USA, Japan, Yugoslavia, Italy, Belgium, France and the Soviet Union. From looking around. Dozens of people at the same time. Look UFO diverse: like glowing clouds, fireballs, dark cigar-shaped objects, finally, like a traditional "flying saucer". Enthusiasts explain the UFO phenomenon "elementary": the spaceships of aliens.

Science is more cautious. Most anomalous phenomena that our scientists are trying to find mundane explanations: optical effects in the atmosphere, bright stars and planets, the results of the technical experiments in space, flying balloons... and even shredded newspaper. Journalists, carrying readers information about a UFO, following the "iron" rule to rely only on verified facts, and is crowned with your content headings, which are usually (just in case), ends with a question mark: "UFO: the incredible true?" "UFO over Moscow?", "Guests from outer space?"

But maybe visitors from outer space have long been flying over the Earth? First of all should pay attention to the objects emitting the light rays (the article "Exactly at 4.10", "UFOs: stop in Belgium", etc.). In nature lighting effects in the form of rays of light can only occur when aperturing of the light source: the sun's rays, falling through a gap in the dense clouds, or the reflection of the light source on the faces floating in the air ice crystals (Gallo). All other natural light sources distribute it evenly in all directions and the nature of this light is usually to determine is not difficult. The beam is a directed light, organized by the technical means; if he's really agile, it – driven, purposeful.

Invite readers to get acquainted with the facts of observation of the same abnormal phenomenon and, following the logic of reasoning, to determine whether or not a question mark in the title of this article.

* * *

In the summer of 1987 my brother and I were vacationing, traveling on Braslavsky lakes. On the water were not only during the day but sometimes night.

On the night of August 23, swam, keeping the exchange rate on the Polar star, "caught" views "falling stars", was followed the flight of artificial Earth satellites, talking about various things, not to fall asleep, and occasionally looked over the shoulder to avoid crashing into another thicket of reeds.

At some point I saw an interesting phenomenon: the satellite, passing in the direction from North to East right through the Zenith, suddenly issued a series of flashes. It was like a light Morse code. My brother and I exchanged views in the sense that, of course, that the signals of the aliens, and some optical experiments performed on our earth satellites. Then lamented the fact that, say, swim in lakes a month, spend long nights around campfires, and no UFO has never been seen, but some pioneers and seniors will be released for half an hour in the evening on the street – and then something you see, not somewhere in the wilderness of forests and lakes, and right at home in the city or in the garden... We are just unlucky!

And it is here that, at the time when brother turned his head towards the distant Western shore, where shone no light, he saw over this coast... broke out of the "spotlight" aimed right at us. It shined of a second and a half or two, and then as suddenly went out, changing color from white to red, how goes the filament in the lamp, or the coals in an arc searchlight at shutdown. The flash he saw at an angle of 15-20 degrees, and the direction she remembered the stars.

At the time of the flare I was looking in the direction of the nearest coast, that is in the other direction. To be documented the exact lead statement from his travel diary, which was made the same night around the campfire:

"...I saw the lake, the beach lit up like behind us broke out a spotlight. He thought that the supervision. But the shadow from the boat was short, so the spotlight was supposed to be high enough above the beach. The outbreak has highlighted the next few reeds and coastal forest, but not the only dvuhsotmetrovy area. I looked around and saw incandescent reflector floodlight. I thought it was a reflector. He was at first white, but not bright, quickly blushed, then became purple and faded to black. And then I thought where was a light, no lights can not be. There was the night sky...".

We have at once a question: "What was that?". We agreed sides began to argue. Shore flashed locally: approximately 200 meters. The rest of the shore at the time of the outbreak remain in darkness. Therefore, it is not just flash, say, lightning. (Although what lightning! The silence, the starry sky... Or we lightning is not seen?). Moreover, the lightning would light visible all around the space, not part of the coast. So, it was still a beam, the beam "spotlight". Somehow, I thought about the searchlight on top of some of the village club. But then he remembered that the West Bank is virtually uninhabited, there remain some foundations from abandoned farms, and the shore is low. Spotlight on the tower? But with this angle of elevation (15-20º) and the distance (to the coast about 5 km) the height of the flash above the shore should be about one kilometer.

Around the campfire at night, summing up this day, we've been drawing using a map of our lake, and a simple geometric construction to the scale of the map convinced of the correctness of our assumptions. Of these towers we do not build. Spotlight is able from a distance of almost 5 kilometres brightly enough to illuminate the woods on the shore, may not be easy and the device must have a sufficiently powerful energy source (aircraft or helicopter). But the sound of the engine would be heard well in such a quiet, windless night, especially over water. Therefore, the airplane and the helicopter disappear. The light source was stationary. Speculate thus, we concluded that it was an ordinary unidentified flying object – a UFO. Satisfied with this explanation, we continued swimming. Occasionally we looked in the direction where he saw the flash of the spotlight, but more it is not repeated.

I think from the above we can conclude the following: a powerful light source was of extraterrestrial origin, because mankind has not yet invented flying machines that could silently hang in the air and hold for a while such huge objects. It turns out it was aliens? But then there are many questions. One of them – why the aliens are "highlighted" us? Because we were the only ones awake on the lake? Doubtful, but...

So the question mark in the title of the article can be replaced by a dot. But the exclamation we will deliver when you shake the aliens hand. Anyway, for such a meeting must be prepared.

This case occurred in the night of 23 August 1987. He was recorded in the travel notebooks and... forgotten. No, of course we talked about it to their friends. But told me so, saying, as was the case... was was. Actually, what does this prove? Yes, there are thousands of testimonies of UFO sightings. There will be more. But still no one answered, what is a UFO.

Due to the fact that in recent times, there are many reports of UFOs and so-called "aliens" or "aliens", we decided to tell you about our case. For clarity, did the drawings to the text.

When the material was prepared, we together with his brother began to read it. When he reached the phrase "the Setting moon had already disappeared behind the forest of the East coast, when we floated on the calm surface of the lake Snudy," I paused and looked at the map. That's right: we sailed along the East coast, and yellowish, with redness of the globe of the moon, clinging to the tree tops, slowly descended over the forest.

I looked at him and asked:

Do you remember what was the moon?

- What's the question? – he was surprised. Full, yellowish-red, large – over the horizon it always seems to be large, as the eye has something to compare it to. However, I have not watched. The moon is like the moon.

And then asked a question that for some reason we didn't ask myself all these three years:

Alec, since when the moon sets in the East? Now he grabbed the map...

This is a belated "discovery" has forced us to make some clarification. On the calendar we can see, when our latitude was the rising of the moon 23 August 1987. That day the moon rose at 2 hours 58 minutes. Then, moonset we could not observe the hours before sunrise!

But this is not what we are most impressed. The calendar said that on 24 August 1987 there was a new moon, that is, in 2 hours 58 minutes East went up Crescent moon!

An hour earlier we saw a big yellow and red ball over the Eastern shore, but did not attach importance to the fact that it was a UFO! And before it flew over us a strange companion, who submitted several times a series of light signals. And then there was a beam over the lake and the glowing disk, and the beam was focused either on us, or where recently fallen UFO.

Another necessary afterword, since we are talking about the fact that everyone was somehow willing to meet with anomalous phenomena that could more or less correctly assess them. It is hardly necessary to immediately resort to "the aliens" or throw in the mystical arguments about the astral worlds. Our planet Earth still keeps many of its secrets. One of them is the man himself. In this respect, interesting statement okeeheelee Committee on problems of energy-exchange in nature in the Belarusian office of the Union of scientific and engineering societies of the USSR Ekaterina Kuzminichna Ageenkova. Biologist and psychologist by training, she argues that "the mystery of the century – in man" that "the reflection of reality in human consciousness changes depending on different circumstances."

So, faced with a mysterious phenomenon, it should be seen as an objective reality. Don't lose your temper, don't panic. Suppress a sense of fear when it arose. At least comfort themselves with this thought: the world is full of the unknown, but knowable world. Observe phenomena, record all that you see that feeling, without taking any action. Because we cannot exclude the possibility of hazardous impact of anomalous phenomena on the human (when you see on the ground the bare wire is probably better to bypass this place party).
