Here is how it is described on the Internet.

"According to eyewitnesses, here in a clearing in the middle of the forest lies a huge white ball the size of a five-storey building. In the late 1970s, the helicopter that was carrying in Dubna dielectric cap for parabolic antenna space communication burst rope, construction fell in the forest, and it chose not to export. Since then, a ball made of aerated concrete, was chosen by fans of mysticism. Any sound inside the ball is magnified and distributed undulating echo - of such sounds is frightening, heartbeat quickens, and want to quickly get out ... »

"The ball hits his entourage: on the background of wild forest the size of a five-story house, it looks just any UFO. But the miracles are just beginning ... If you get to areas you will find an artificial opening-defeating. Finding himself in an unprepared person can get a shock - the design of the ball and the material from which it is made, led to a unique acoustic effect. Any sound inside the ball is magnified, extends an undulating echo. It becomes scary, there is some kind of mystical power. And one more thing - the walls of the globe in places clearly visible sign of radiation. It may well be that you have to be careful ... »



Quickly ran on the Internet, I found a few photos ball with standing next to cars and relaxed - you can drive. You know my principle: Never advance not to read about the place where you go. And he did not disappoint this time. Stories about the visit of the ball placed mainly on off-road sites and biking forums and if I had paid attention to the complexity of the road, it is likely that this story, you would not have seen.



The first ten kilometers of broken-down primer before turning with a sign "to the ball," the weather is good you can drive and passenger car. But then ... In an hour, we crossed a few water-filled pits, dragged logs, moving from one track to another, and finally exhausted, decided to walk the remaining kilometer. And rightly so - the local tractor several times a week the car pulls away, "3000 rubles without bargaining, shovel - for free."



Forest, forest, forest and ... Wow! It looks absolutely surreal.

According to legend, the ball was at first two, but the other locals were separated in such a way that from him was gone. Hard to believe, as in the fact that, falling from a helicopter, it is exactly, exactly fell to the ground.



As it turned out, the ball is not a concrete, though outwardly may appear so. Apparently, most of the legends are composed by the pictures, seen on the Internet.



It is something like fiberglass



with honeycombs inside



If you believe Wikipedia, the ball appeared in 1980. Explain that in 33 years the place has not dirtied (well, except the inscriptions), it is possible only because it is considered a cult classic.



The origin of the ball as well is still not solved. Someone wrote that he was going on the ground, others that he was brought back and the first time with him was a box with the soldiers.



Does the ball some foundation, it is also not clear. There are metal stakes along the entire circumference of the base, leaving the ground.



Knowledgeable people say that the ball is made of radio transparent material and is designed to protect the radar antenna from the environment.



But why is it in the woods? Okay, let's say that it was necessary in the woods. But how were going to mount antenna fixed inside the ball? And the land - not the best support for multi-ton missile radar.



The most plausible version seems to attract the attention of the enemy and therefore a distraction from other, more important and hidden objects.



But most importantly why they come here - feel the unique acoustics of the structure. Sounds strengthening and repeatedly bouncing off the walls, are concentrated in the top of the ball, gradually dying away. Inside, you are constantly surrounded by a multitude of different sounds simultaneous - steps, clothes, conversation, which seemed to chase a tremendous speed, constantly overlapping each other. Someone amused this process, but there are people who can not stand. "Actually, no» ©. At least I have nothing but admiration not experienced.
