More and more often, scientists talk about the inevitable: the future of humanity is unthinkable
if it does not continue its natural course outside the Earth's orbit.
As great as human curiosity is, it seems out of proportion to the scale of the universe, about which we know so little.
On April 10, 1979, at 20 hours and 34 minutes Moscow time, the Soyuz-33 spacecraft was launched into orbit around the Earth.
The first Bulgarian cosmonaut is on board.
So many years after Georgi Ivanov's flight, for us the Cosmos remains mostly
a mystery and a mystery in which we walk like newborns.
In this video, we have collected for you some of the worst moments, conspiracies and real events in outer space.
CONSCIOSNESS
Vladimir Kovalyonok, describes his encounter with a UFO during the time
when he was performing a space mission on the Salyut-6 station.
On August 15, 1978, he observed a strange object periodically approaching and moving away from the orbiting station.
Later, on August 29, he reported to ground control that a large spherical object was flying past the station.
This event was also witnessed by his colleagues who were on board Salyut-6 at the same time,
cosmonauts Alexander Ivanchenkov, Valery Bikovsky and their colleague from East Germany, Sigmund Yen.
Vladimir Kovalyonok witnesses something unusual once again.
On May 5, 1981 at approximately 6:00 p.m.
again on a Salyut-6 mission, flying over South Africa from the Indian Ocean side.
After completing the physical exercises prescribed by the regulations,
Kovalyonok looks out the window and sees an incomprehensible object near the station.
In space, it is almost impossible to determine sizes and distances by eye.
It may seem to the observer that he sees a small object very close, but in fact it may be something huge,
but located at a great distance. And vice versa.
Then something unusual appears in the visible space.
A strange object with an elliptical shape, flying at the same altitude as the station,
on the same course, neither approaching nor receding.
At the same time, it seems to rotate in the direction of movement,
as if rolling forward along an invisible path laid in space.
Suddenly, the astronaut is blinded by a flash of bright yellow light, resembling a silent explosion.
The item has turned into a sparkling golden ball. The view was very beautiful.
But it turns out that's just the beginning.
A second or two later, somewhere out of the astronaut's field of vision, there must have been another similar silent explosion,
because he sees a second, exactly the same bright golden ball.
And then a cloud of smoke appears nearby, which also takes on a spherical shape.
Soon after, it approaches the terminator – a term for the twilight line that separates day from night.
As the station enters Earth's shadow and darkness falls, all three balls disappear from view.
None of the crew members see them again.
In 1984, a crew of 3 was aboard the Salyut-7 space station. Leonid Kizim, Oleg Atkov, Vladimir Solovyov.
On day 155, the team went about their business as usual, preparing for laboratory experiments.
At one point, the station is covered by an unusual orange dome, and everything inside is illuminated by a bright orange glow.
For a short time, the astronauts completely lost their vision from the bright light.
When it returns, they see through the porthole 7 creatures about 30 meters tall flying near the station.
These creatures look like humans, but of enormous stature.
Huge wings sprout from their backs, and halos shine around their heads.
At the appearance of these creatures, the astronauts felt complete peace.
According to crew members, for 10 minutes the humanoids flew at station speed.
After 14 days, three more cosmonauts joined the crew of the station:
Svetlana Savitskaya, Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Igor Volk. Then, suddenly,
everything around is illuminated again by the bright orange glow.
Everyone looks through the portholes.
Outside, the large creatures briefly appear again, radiating a sense of peace and tranquility.
After the brief meeting, the team sends a report to Earth about the phenomenon that occurred.
The employees at the Control Center were shocked.
The six astronauts were immediately subjected to various psychological and medical tests,
which showed that they had no problems and were completely healthy.
The report is instant, strictly confidential. The astronauts were ordered to keep quiet about what happened.
In 1995, during a lecture at the Novosibirsk Interstate Institute of Space Anthropoecology,
test astronaut Sergey Krichevsky was the first to speak openly about this unusual phenomenon.
He says: "Astronauts communicate information about such encounters only to each other.
They share with those who will soon fly.”
"Out there, in orbit, sometimes you can't tell what's a dream and what's reality..."
Sergey Krichevsky shares:
"The transformations. A person suddenly undergoes one or several transformations,
unexpectedly turns into some supernatural beast, but practically feels it in his skin.
Rebirths can last as long as you want.
Feeling every nerve, seeing his big blue nails, scales, even the membranes between his fingers,
the "former" astronaut "roams" around an unknown planet and "talks" to its inhabitants.
Later, he becomes something else - imagine, migrating into the body of a being from another era or another Galaxy,
simultaneously learning a new language, habits and customs.
A world completely unknown to him, he takes it for granted.
No space technology with this speed and ease is capable of transporting a person through space and time.
All astronauts who have been in this state talk about a powerful flow of information entering them.''
These unusual phenomena related to the Cosmos are a mystery to psychologists.
Some attribute it to the fact that the state of consciousness changes under the influence of cosmic radiation
and the constantly changing magnetic field.
Others suggest the intervention of an extraterrestrial civilization.
The damaged engine from the flight of the Bulgarian cosmonaut Georgi Ivanov and the Russian Nikolai Rukavishnikov
created one of the most heartbreaking moments in space.
When descending back to Earth, the weight increases 8 to 9 times and they have to go 2 and a half minutes
without breathing, even though they only practiced the situation for 30 seconds.
From Earth, they panic, because during these minutes neither George nor Nikolay answer the headquarters,
since they have to keep their air.
In the ears of both constantly echo the questions from ground control whether they can hear them.
Finally, Nikolai's nerves fail and he takes a great risk by making several lines to the people of Earth.
Georgi Ivanov says that the thought of a fatal flight never crossed his mind.
the "lost astronauts"
One of the most dramatic conspiracy theories of the 20th century is that of the "lost astronauts".
That's 13 people the theory says were sacrificed by the Russians before Gagarin's flight.
Allegedly, in an attempt to win the space race with the US,
the Soviet authorities sacrificed 13 cosmonauts and then erased all traces of their existence.
Capsules burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, break up on landing,
or are lost forever in the abyss of space before Yuri Gagarin's historic flight.
All this is part of the bitter rivalry between the two powers during the Cold War.
The death of Gagarin has also long been shrouded in mystery, for which all kinds of options are suspected.
It is said that in the Russian archives there are 29 volumes of classified materials
on the fatal incident with Yuri Alekseevich in 1968.
"Cosmic Whisper"
"Cosmic Whisper" - It is an unusual phenomenon in which astronauts hear voices in their head and feel a foreign,
invisible presence in the spacecraft.
Often these voices tell them that their presence in space is not wanted, and that they have come too soon.
He also tells them about things that only they know. Secrets not shared with others.
These details were revealed by an astronaut who wished to remain anonymous.
Shenzhou-5
On October 15, 2003, Chinese cosmonaut Yan Liwei landed 14 times around the Earth in 21 hours in the region of
Inner Mongolia with his ship "Shenzhou-5".
In a recent interview, he recalled his trip into Earth orbit and recounted
"a knocking for no reason that sometimes came from space."
He explains that the sound appeared suddenly - without any connection to any other signs.
"It was coming from outside and not inside the spacecraft,
but it sounded like someone was banging on the hull like a wooden mallet on an iron bucket," Jan explains.
The excited astronaut approached the porthole, trying to explain the reason. But everything was normal.
After returning to Earth, he told specialists about the mysterious sounds.
They tried to recreate the sound using different instruments, but all their attempts were unsuccessful.
Later, the astronauts from the "Shenzhou-6" and "Shenzhou-7" space probes did the same.
Before their flights, Livey warned them that "the sound is a normal phenomenon, so there is no need to worry."
Chinese astronauts are not the only conquerors of space who have encountered mysteries.
Many of their other colleagues have reported hearing mysterious alien music.
Russian cosmonauts mention unintelligible whispering and drumming on the International Space Station.
Still others about dogs barking, children crying, bells ringing and whatnot heard aboard spaceships.
What could be the reason? Disruptions in radio communication with Earth? Aurora Vibes? A space dustman?
Or maybe these sounds have an extraterrestrial origin?
The cosmos is a huge orchestra, each element of which sounds in its own way.
It was these sounds that were recorded by the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft.
Of course, the version about the presence of extraterrestrials should not be rejected either.
Otherwise, how to explain the orders of "voices from outside",
which from time to time are heard in the heads of the cosmonauts.
