Опознание без очной ставки

In the late 40-ies in the United States a businessman was flying on his own plane along the high snowy mountain range. Neither the businessman, nor the flight in no way risked to go down in history - especially the history of science, - if not one circumstance: upon landing, the excited businessman made a statement to the press. He allegedly watched "chain like plates items" that were in the air. These items were flying lined up in a row along the ridge. "They were flat as pans, and, like a mirror, reflected the rays of the sun," narrated "witness". However, soon om said in an interview that if he would know, what will turn to him the matter, said nothing; there was so much ridicule, avitaminoses and doubt, at best in his sobriety. "Now, if I see flying through the air house and then keep silent", - he assured.

The boom around the "plates" grew. The term itself, reflecting at first the surprise of the witness, immediately caught on. (Designation of the same "UFO", a more scientific and respectable, came later, and rarely used in mass printing...)

The number of messages grew, they poured as from a cornucopia. No voice of skeptics, nor the statement of scientists that the first, the notorious case of a businessman, is likely due to the fact that he saw the whirling snow over the mountain slope, which had due to the turbulence is sufficiently resistant round shape, nothing could change that. The signal was given, picked up, posted around the world. The "saucer" was seen everywhere. For them, and took hot-air balloons and kites, and a raised hurricane high in the air a sheet of newspaper. To them is attributed and explained by a science of optical phenomena: mirages, halos, sundogs, rainbows, dust lenses. And finally, astronomical objects - comets and meteors.

It was a Golden time for jokers and hoaxers. In the Newspapers it was done - and even published - pictures thrown in the air pans and dursunov over the cities appeared round shiny discs, which sometimes to that and smoked - the special design of flying serpents. Those who do not chase special effects, was just launched from the roofs of a hat no fields or fields from hats... But it flared. Came out a special edition devoted solely to "the plate", they are, as reported, was interested in us military and Aeronautics...

Well, of course, claimed "eyewitnesses", these plates were not more than a interstellar ships. Indeed, in many cases, they flew some very ornate or broken trajectory, and even "gave gas" and with astonishing acceleration disappeared. This is the the acceleration was strong argument of the supporters of the hypothesis about the aliens. However, there was expressed the opposite opinion: "plates", of course - the handiwork of intelligent beings, but they are not ships and some probes (like balloons), running into our atmosphere from outside for the purpose of studying Academic science was limited to the often skeptical comments. Although the scientists in relation to "the plate" there has been some controversy...

Some believed the UFO direct a hoax. Others avoided a direct denial: if they are, in any case, not of artificial origin. But there were others. Those who spoke in the affirmative: Yes, among the numerous observations and reports a lot of fraud, and errors, and cases of incompetent interpreters. But all data is non-zero percentage of cases in which it was some new, as yet unexplained phenomenon. Have a positive experience, but there is no theory.

A question immediately arises: these phenomena belong to the class of atmospheric or space phenomena? Nadi to note that the standpoint in this matter has always been different. Had enough of arguments and one and the other. But a strict explanation was neither there nor here.

And recently, this explanation was given. Two Soviet scientists-Dr. Phys.-math. Barenblatt, G. Sciences, and corresponding member. USSR Academy of Sciences A. Monin has revealed that their theoretical calculations give the model of the phenomenon, with properties matching the most described UFO. Scientists, above all, adhere to the view that "plates generated by certain physical processes in the atmosphere and represent some of delcoigne moving schools (another explanation of this in "teen", 1978, № 9, see article "the Petrozavodsk phenomenon")

The atmosphere of our planet in the gravitational field of stratified or stratified (strata - the individual layers of air of equal density). Sometimes this stratification is expressed clearly, often between the individual layers do not have sharp boundaries, because the density varies with altitude gradually. But the most important thing is that thanks to stratifitsirovannoi in the atmosphere there are internal waves. Everything is about the same as on the surface of the sea. Because the environment is stratified, the waves shake the border between the layers. And since the exact boundaries can not be; the waves shake the entire thickness of the air.

All seen as a sea wave breaks against the barrier, or, in special language, loses its stability and falls. But any wave carries some energy. Where this energy goes, what goes? In particular, the mixing of the water. The evidence of sinkholes and whirlpools off the rocks. In the atmosphere, there is a mixing of layers of air. However, having limited energy, the wave may not like the Balde of the tale, to stir up "all sea" in the loss of stability it creates in the atmosphere a small area with the same density, the island, inside which the layers are mixed. Originally this area has a clear permanent borders, then under the action of external pressure is compressed. "Spot collapses", explain the authors. The experiments conducted in the Institute of Oceanology, USSR Academy of Sciences, and the theory show that compression first occurs rapidly, but then slows down. The finale of this "collapse" is a slow process and takes most of the time the whole process. So it is reasonable to talk about a relatively stable region in the atmosphere, resembling the disk is also from the experiments is seen.

The atmosphere is never absolutely calm. In addition to winds, currents, there are observed turbulent air movement. Thus, the smaller region is stratified, the turbulence is higher when high differences of density of it decreases. In our "spots" - drives the same density and, therefore, these discs - the area of highest turbulence. Not hard to guess that they are, according to scientists, the notorious "flying saucers". Why you can see them, since they are composed of air? The fact of the matter is that not from the air. Out of the mud.

Imagine: in the atmosphere there is a certain amount of suspended particles, dust, for example. Dust is supported by air flow and if air is inactive, fall. If there are turbulent eddies, the suspension is kept stable. That is inside the discs and needs to be raised from the ground dust, making them optically dense, visible. When a disc is hanging high above the ground, at dusk, and the sun was long gone over the horizon, he may glow with reflected light. It should be noted that most of the pictures and sightings of "saucers" were always in the twilight, in the evening or in the morning. The scientists explain the fact of motion, even speed up "plates" - they can move large flows of air to be accelerated in the presence of changes in ambient pressure.

But here's the interesting part: the scientists put in direct dependence on the number of observed UFO from pollution.

Indeed, industrial emissions of aerosol sprayed in the air are present in suspension. Thus, they are ideal filler disc, the material for the "plates". This explains the frequency of UFO sightings now in comparison with, say, biblical times.

However, with all its attractiveness, consistency and simplicity, this explanation, obviously, does not exhaust the problem.

If we stick to the point of view of supporters of the fact that observation of the plates are correct, it is necessary to explain why in many cases the plates are visible and during the day? And why day they glow? How about the long stay of the saucers in the sky?

Because to put the experience in the lab today is still impossible, not to wait for any additional field observations, which confirm the findings of scientists? And while the "confrontation" with the "plates" of scientists random, don't look to other possible options?

Recall the results of the experiment Spolokh. It was held in 1975 under the guidance of academician R. Sagdeev. A stream of barium was used as an artificial probe for studies of the lower atmospheric layers. Optical setup registered the glow of the jet, which lasted several minutes. Jet, of course, moved, and was recorded at an altitude of 170 km. And here's the thing: the pictures resembled a UFO. It was glowing wheels (in a particular projection), which moved across the sky.

Who knows, maybe this is simulated in natural conditions, the phenomenon of plasma luminescence in some other aspect will shed light on the nature of "flying objects". And then a UFO will be another studied phenomenon of nature.
