The <strong>object</strong> has been compared to an Imperial Cruiser in the Star Wars films and witnesses estimated it could be up to a mile wide. Two film clips exist which  show the same <strong>object</strong> and footage has been repeatedly played on Russian television. The shots, one taken at night from a car and one during the day, were both filmed by amateurs.<br />
The &#8216;<u>craft</u>&#8217; was said to have hovered for hours over Red Square in the Russian capital. The clips of the &#8216;invasion&#8217; have gone to the top of the country&#8217;s version of YouTube. The identity of the shape has not been confirmed. Russian reports ruled out a <strong>UFO</strong> but police refused to comment. Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence <strong>UFO</strong> analyst, said, “It is one of the most extraordinary <strong>UFO</strong> clips I&#8217;ve ever seen&#8221;. &#8220;At first I thought this was a reflection but it appears to move behind a power line, ruling out this theory.&#8221; A spokesman for aerospace journal Jane&#8217;s News said: &#8220;We have no idea what it is.&#8221; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGsUnC9hXmI">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGsUnC9hXmI</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ronald Nussbeck writes,  On November 29, 1968 the newspaper Sverdlovsk reported, &#8220;Berezovsky Dreams&#8221; with the account of Flying Lightning Balls, one of which crashed near Berezovsky. This article reveals never before seen images of a <strong><u>UFO</u></strong> Crashed Disk. I would like to thank Ron Stewart for the many long hours of research and development of the images, without people like Ron this would never make the light of day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2115" src="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sovietufocrash1968.jpg" alt="sovietufocrash1968" width="400" height="265" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Soviet Defense Ministry wrote in March 1969, Order No. 481 addressed to the Commander of the Air Defense Forces in the Sverdlosvsk Military Region Lieutenant General A.G. Ponomarenko. He was ordered to assist in every way the local KGB authorities in the operation &#8220;Sverdlovsk Midget&#8221; (small <strong><u>aliens</u></strong>), signed by the Deputy Commander in Chief of the USSR Air Defense Forces, Colonel General S.D. Lebedey, Seal stated, General Staff of the USSR Defense Ministry.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In a second letter from November 3, 1969 on the KGB letterhead addressed to Deputy Chief of the Scientific Research Department KGB USSR, Colonel Grigoriev. The letter stated that on March 5, 1969 information was received about discovery of the unidentified <strong>object</strong> wreckage, 3 meter high and 5 meter in diameter with remains of small unknown human like creature; Operation called &#8220;Sverdlovsk Midget&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ron S. Stewart using APEP (Advanced Photographic Extraction Process), a Microscopic Digital Imaging system (<a href="http://www.ufoimaging.com">www.ufoimaging.com</a>). APEP uses X-Ray, Thermo, Infrared and high magnification along with increased DPI (dots per inch) to extract images. The articles photos reveal the Russian&#8217;s may have in their possession a crashed Disk from another planet.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Death Certificates signed by Doctors Kamyshoy, Savitsky and Gordeenko were issued in Moscow region on March 24, 1969. Certificates in the USSR are printed by Gosznak, the documents are only some of the evidence found. Large volumes of information are available on the web including autopsy photos and expert testimony to the veracity of the crash.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The image left is an X-Ray using APEP, the KGB agent seen in image #1 is holding part of the <u>craft</u>, follow the numbers to image #8, in it the KGB agent is holding a piece of the craft behind his back with his left hand. In his right hand is another piece of the crashed disk.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Michael Cohen writes: The front of the <strong>UFO</strong> appears to show a &#8216;Gray&#8217; on the relief of the <strong>object</strong> (circled in red). This has not gone through analysis and we eagerly look forward to the results. We are also aware that some question this video, claiming it is a scene from an old Soviet movie. It should be noted that no-one has ever identified that movie and Russian ufologists generally regard this footage as genuine.<br />
Will analysis prove this? More on this to come&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Michael Cohen states, “I have asked a number of Russian academics about the debunking story re this footage. They said it is out of the question and impossible that in 1968 a bunch of American film makers could have come to Russia and used the army for an ad. Thanks to Mike <a href="mailto:info@allnewsweb.com">info@allnewsweb.com</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Editor’s Note: Michael Cohen has given permission to for Filer’s Files to use this article. I was in the movie “The Secret KGB Files” with Roger Moore and was told they had paid thousands of dollars for the film from KGB officers and to the best of their information was that this was a legitimate <strong>UFO</strong> crash. We had not noticed the alleged <strong>alien</strong> face on the craft..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Dr. Bruce Maccabee writes, ‘The following story was told to me by Dr.Vladimir Azhazha, (One the Leading Russian Experts on UFOs) while we were both attending a <strong><u>UFO</u></strong> symposium in Japan in 1990.’</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1698" title="russiansub" src="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/russiansub.jpg" alt="russiansub" width="397" height="181" /></p>
<p>&#8220;On one occasion a Soviet nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away.&#8221;</p>
<p>Azhazha said that the captain of this sub assumed the objects were American subs.  When he couldn&#8217;t shake them by maneuvering he decided to surface under the assumption that they would also and there would be communication during which time the captain could tell the Americans to &#8220;get lost.&#8221;   Instead, when the captain and a crew member reached the sail (top) of the surfaced submarine he was astonished to see the objects rise out of the water and fly away. According to Azhazha the captain eventually became an admiral.  He would not say the admiral’s name, but said it began with the letter &#8220;K&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Navy article stated: “On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph. Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,” Beketov said. Thanks to Dr. Bruce Maccabee. Editor’s Note: Russian Submarines are now patrolling off the US Eastern Coast where an underwater <strong>UFO</strong> base is alleged to be located.</p>

<h3>The Russian navy has declassified its records of encounters with unidentified objects technologically surpassing anything humanity ever built, reports Svobodnaya Pressa news website.</h3>
<p>The records dating back to Soviet times were compiled by a special navy group collecting reports of unexplained incidents delivered by submarines and military ships. The group was headed by deputy Navy commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov, and the documents reveal numerous cases of possible <strong><u>UFO</u></strong> encounters, the website says. Vladimir Azhazha, former navy officer and a famous Russian <strong>UFO</strong> researcher, says the materials are of great value.</p>
<p>“Fifty percent of <strong>UFO</strong> encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water,” he said. On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away. Many mysterious events happened in the region of Bermuda Triangle, recalls retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov. Instruments malfunctioned with no apparent reason or detected strong interference. The former navy officer says this could be deliberate disruption by UFOs.</p>
<p>“On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph. Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,” Beketov said.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1672" title="russiannavyufo" src="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/russiannavyufo.jpg" alt="russiannavyufo" width="383" height="289" /></p>
<p>Navy intelligence veteran, Captain 1st rank Igor Barklay comments: “Ocean UFOs often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate such as near the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”<br />
Another place where people often report <strong>UFO</strong> encounters is Russia’s Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. Fishermen tell of powerful lights coming from the deep and objects flying up from the water. In one case in 1982, a group of military divers training at Baikal spotted a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits. The encounter happened at a depth of 50 meters, and the divers tried to catch the strangers. Three of the seven men died, while four others were severely injured. “I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be discarded,” says Vladimir Azhazha. “Skepticism is the easiest way: believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So it’s very important to analyze what they encounter there.” <a href="http://www.russiatoday.com/Top_News/2009-07-21/Russian_Navy_UFO_records_say_aliens_love_oceans.html">http://www.russiatoday.com/Top_News/2009-07-21/Russian_Navy_UFO_records_say_aliens_love_oceans.html</a></p>

<p>The Russians approached the subject of UFOs with the utmost seriousness and attention to detail. Boris Sokolov, a retired Russian Colonel ran an in-depth study in 1980. &#8220;For 10 years,&#8221; Sokolov said, &#8220;the entire Soviet Union became one gigantic <strong><u>UFO</u></strong> listening post.&#8221;  There were 40 cases where pilots encountered UFOs, explained Sokolov. Initially, they were commanded to chase, and then shoot the UFOs. But when the pilots engaged, the UFOwould speed up. On two occasions, pilots gave chase, lost control and crashed, with the crew killed on impact. After these unfortunate incidents, the pilots received another order: When they saw a <strong>UFO</strong> they should change course &#8211; and get away. On October 5, 1983 Sokolov received an order from his commander to leave immediately for the Ukraine. A report from the base commander to the Chief of the General Staff claimed that the day before, from 4 until 8 in the evening, a <strong>UFO</strong> had been observed near the base. During that time, the missile launch codes had mysteriously been enabled.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[ad#ad-1]</p>
<p><strong>UFO</strong> sightings by Soviet cosmonauts are not uncommon. Unlike American astronauts&#8217; reluctance to talk about the subject,  Soviet references to UFOs were reported from the very beginning, with Yuri Gagarin himself shown here. In documents, Gagarin is quoted as saying, “UFOs are real, they fly at incredible speeds and that he would tell more about what he had seen in orbit &#8211; provided he be given permission to do so.”</p>
<p>According to Cosmonaut Mus Manarov on the 1991 Mir Mission: “It happened during a visit mission, when all our attention was focused on the slowly approaching space capsule… It is possible that it was a kind of <strong>UFO</strong>.”</p>
<p>Yuri Andropov, the former Soviet leader and long-time head of the KGB, had an acute personal interest in UFOs and <strong><u>ALIENS</u></strong> ordered a 13-year program that required every soldier in the military to monitor sightings over Russian territory. Through Andropov&#8217;s personal interest, in 1978, two committees were established to investigate UFOs, one military and one civilian. Andropov ordered four million Soviet soldiers to file detailed reports of incidents. According to some sources, the program led to hundreds of thousands of sightings being recorded in the 13 years before it was abandoned with the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1990.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did a <strong><u>UFO</u></strong> deliberately crash into a meteor to save Earth 100 years ago? That&#8217;s what one Russian scientist is claiming.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1141" title="crystals" src="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/crystals.jpg" alt="crystals" width="200" height="133" />Dr. Yuri Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation, insists that an <strong>alien</strong> spacecraft sacrificed itself to prevent a gigantic meteor from slamming into the planet above Siberia on June 30, 1908.</p>
<p>The result was was the Tunguska event, a massive blast estimated at 15 megatons that downed 80 million trees over nearly 100 square miles. Eyewitnesses reported a bright light and a huge shock wave, but the area was so sparsely populated no one was killed.</p>
<p>Most scientists think the blast was caused by a meteorite exploding several miles above the surface. But Labvin thinks quartz slabs with strange markings found at the site are remnants of an <strong>alien</strong> control panel, which fell to the ground after the <strong>UFO</strong> slammed into the giant rock.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t have any technologies that can print such kind of drawings on crystals,&#8221; Labvin told the Macedonian International News Agency. &#8220;We also found ferrum silicate that can not be produced anywhere, except in space.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[ad#ad-1]</p>
<p><strong><u>Aliens</u></strong> downed Tunguska meteorite to protect our planet from devastation, stated Russian scientist Yuriy Lavbin about the 100 year old mystery surrounding the massive Siberian explosion. He showed 10 quartz crystals that he found at the place of the meteorite’s crash. Several of the crystals have holes in between, so they can be united in a chain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1142" title="0_21_tunguska_kulik" src="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/0_21_tunguska_kulik.jpg" alt="0_21_tunguska_kulik" width="450" height="350" /></p>
<p>- What could this chain serve for? Besides, some crystals have strange drawings on them. We don’t have any technologies that can print such kind of drawings on crystals. We also found ferrum silicate that can not be produced anywhere, except in space”, &#8211; the scientist stated.</p>
<p>The meteorite’s crash took place a long time ago, in the summer of 1908. An enormous volcanic ball rushed over the sky with terrifying wallop and thunder-like sound. All the citizens were frightened to death and scared to move out of their houses. A flight of a “flamy <strong>alien</strong>” ended up in an hour in the deserted taiga area. In a matter of seconds an explosive wave spread for 40 kilometers, devastating everything living around.</p>
<p>It was not until many years later that a Siberian scientist set up an expedition to the place of the meteorite’s crash. They searched carefully through the river banks and found  unusual quartz boards. Mr. Lavbin states that such solid stones do not exist on our planet Earth. He told of an experiment that was done on the crystals: scientists tried to put some of the same drawing that were on the stones initially with a sophisticated laser machine.</p>
<p>How surprised they were to realize that the laser (that usually cuts metal objects into pieces) managed to put just some faint stripes, barely visible. The stones, have an entire system of different lines and circles on them. Scientists suppose that the stones used to be a part of the navigational system of a spaceship. All stones united form a map, which they could have used to cruise through the Universe.</p>
<p>In 1908, the <strong>UFO</strong> is thought to have hit the meteorite that weighed over 1 billion tones. If the meteorite fell down on Earth, all the people would have been dead, extinct. Scientists believe the <strong>aliens</strong> had interfered and put their lives on the line to make sure there isn&#8217;t a direct impact with Earth.</p>
<p>A strange portrait of an extraterrestrial person on one of the stones proves this hypothesis &#8211; concluded Mr Lavbin.</p>

<p>Leonid Kadeniuk, independent Ukraine’s first astronaut and participant in NASA’s Columbia International Mission STS-87 in 1997, has gone on record stating that he believes UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects)are real and of <strong>alien</strong> origin in an interview with the Pravda Ukraine newspaper. Although he has not seen a <strong><u>UFO</u></strong> himself, he recalls that during his time as a fighter pilot in Moscow in the days of the old USSR he had met other pilots who had encountered them while on missions. He also mentions that he was warned by his superiors and trainers that in the event of seeing a <strong>UFO</strong> while flying he should avoid any contact and not attempt to approach them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[ad#ad-1]</p>
<p>He has studied the topic and has come to the conclusion that UFOs use electro-magnetic and gravitational forces to fly. He argues that the current human method of travelling into space has run its course and it is time we too attempt to develop methods using these forces for space travel. He believes in this manner we will conquer space’s mind-boggling distances.

Some managed to photograph the <u>craft</u> with their mobile phones. Shocked pedestrians stopped and pointed to sky declaring the <strong>object</strong> to be a <strong>UFO</strong>.</p>
<p>One witness, a Ms. Anna Kotchetkova, who saw the <strong>object</strong> after her sons excitedly alerted her to it, said, “it’s nothing on earth’. The grey-black <strong>UFO</strong> was completely silent and emitted no lights, and looked like a triangle with smoothed edges. Its shape was irregular with some blurriness about the craft. The <strong>UFO</strong> was estimated to be flying at around 500 to1000 meters altitude and was about the size of a Boeing 747. The incident is being widely reported in the Russian media and immediately after the sighting many members of the press made their way to the Siberian city. Many suspect a secret <strong>UFO</strong> base lies somewhere in the vast spaces of Siberia. This sighting adds weight to this view. Source: &#8216;Extra Media&#8217;m.cohen@allnewsweb.com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/moonmicrofossils.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-228" src="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/moonmicrofossils.jpg" alt="moonmicrofossils" width="432" height="328" /></a> The Soviet Union&#8217;s Luna 16 spacecraft returned from the moon&#8217;s Sea of Fertility to Earth with 101 grams of lunar regolith in an hermetically sealed container on September 24, 1970. In February 1972, Luna 20 used a drill to collect more samples and take hundreds of photographs. Further study of the photographs was later undertaken by two biologists at the Russian Academy of Sciences. They noticed particles in the photographs were virtually identical to fossils of known biological species.<br />
Zhmur and Gerasimenko saw the fossil&#8217;s unmistakable resemblance to modern spiral filamentous microorganisms like Phormidium frigidum, found in growing stromatolites in Shark Bay, Australia. They announced their findings of moon microfossils and in several carbonaceous meteorites from far beyond the moon at a Denver Conference in July 1999. These fossils are solid evidence for ancient life elsewhere in space.<br />
Editor’s Note: I spoke with Dr. Gilbert Levin who developed the Labeled Release (LR) experiments for NASA’s 1976 Viking Landers on Mar’s who states, “New evidence, together with the review of the old, leaves the biological interpretation standing alone. The scientific process forces me to my conclusion, the Viking LR experiment detected living microorganisms in the soil on Mars”. Science does not seem to want to overturn the Theory of Evolution by admitting there is life in space as proved by examination of numerous meteorites and soils on both Mars and the Moon.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Pravda reports</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The former manager of the Data and Photo Control Department at NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory during the manned Apollo Lunar Program, Ken Johnston, has released quite a number of sensational statements. The specialist said that U.S. astronauts found ancient ruins of artificial origin and a previously unknown technology to control gravitation when then landed on the Moon. Astronauts took pictures of the objects that they found, but NASA ordered Johnston to destroy the images. Johnston did not follow the order. He said that the U.S. government had been keeping this information a secret for 40 years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Johnston&#8217;s startling Apollo allegations have recently appeared in a new book, &#8220;Dark Mission: the Secret History of NASA.&#8221;<span> </span>The low quality pictures included in the book depict ruins of buildings, huge dome-like objects made of glass, stone towers and castled hanging in the air. Ken Johnston said, “I have nothing to lose. I have quarreled with NASA and I got fired.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Russia, China, Japan and India have <u>craft</u> ready to launch or are now circling the Moon. Russia’s booster rocket maker, Energia, will build a base to develop the industrial <span> </span>production of helium-3 a powerful for the nuclear synthesis. Only six tons of this fuel would provide enough energy to power a large country for one year. China launched its first satellite to the Moon on October 24, 2008, and intends to launch a lunar base and an unmanned space probe by 2010 and to build a permanent manned base by 2015. http://newsfromrussia.com/science/mysteries/31-10-2007/99895-moon-0</p>
<p><a href="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/moonshard.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-151" src="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/moonshard.jpg" alt="moonshard" width="386" height="354" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Shard is an obvious structure which rises above the Moon&#8217;s surface by more than a mile.<span> </span>Its overall irregular spindly shape contains a regular geometric pattern with constricted nodes, if natural, this has got to be a wonder of the Universe. No known natural process can explain such a structure. Photo courtesy of NASA.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Mars Storm Front</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dust clouds often can obscure the surface of Mars. When an image captures the edge of a dust storm front the loss of surface information is more than compensated for by the information that can be gleaned from analysis of the image. This photo was taken over 66.2 N, 248.7 E, on January 23, 2009.<span> </span>Thanks to NASA/JPL/MOLA.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are told there is no atmosphere on Mars. How does a storm front form and move across Mars without an atmosphere, wind, etc? Last September NASA signals from the Phoenix Lander detected the snow falling lightly from clouds two miles above Mars surface, said James Whiteway, an atmospheric scientist from York University in Canada. His Lidar instrument &#8211; an acronym for laser detection and ranging &#8211; on the spacecraft shoots a green laser beam up into the clouds 100 times a second, and the falling snow reflects brightly in each pulse.<span> </span>Peter H. Smith of the University of Arizona, said the spacecraft&#8217;s mobile robotic digging arm has confirmed that there&#8217;s a &#8220;skating rink&#8221; of water ice a little more than 2 inches below the red soil. There is an old adage, where there is water there is life.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The scientists, Carol Stoker and Larry Lemke of NASA&#8217;s Ames  Research Center report there are methane signatures, signs of possible biological activity similar to those recently discovered in caves here on Earth. Stoker and other researchers have long theorized that the Martian subsurface could harbor biological organisms that have developed unusual strategies for existing in extreme environments.<a href="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/marsstorm1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-223" src="http://ufoweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/marsstorm1.jpg" alt="marsstorm1" width="303" height="275" /></a></p>
