1. Pick up the astronauts with UFOs
Pioneers of space exploration was not easy: the technology of the space age mankind left much to be desired, so emergency situations arise quite often, like the one faced by Alexei Leonov, was almost left in the open space.
But some of the surprises that await the pioneers of space in orbit, is not associated with the equipment. Many returned from the orbit of Soviet cosmonauts told about unidentified flying objects that appear near the Earth spacecraft, and scientists still can not give an explanation for this phenomenon.
Hero of the Soviet Union cosmonaut Vladimir Kovalyonok said that during his stay at the station "Salyut-6" in 1981, he observed a bright luminous object the size of a finger, is rapidly enveloping the Earth in its orbit. Kovalyonok called crew commander Viktor Savinykh, and he saw an unusual phenomenon, he immediately went for the camera. At this time, "finger" broke out and divided into two entities, interconnected, and then disappeared.
Photograph it and failed, but the crew immediately reported the phenomenon on Earth.

February 15 this year, residents of Chelyabinsk and surrounding settlements have seen an unusual phenomenon in the Earth's atmosphere has become a celestial body that the brightness of the fall 30 times the sun. As it turned out, it was a meteorite, although put forward different versions of the phenomenon, including the use of secret weapons or the machinations of the aliens (many still do not rule out such a possibility).
Exploded in the air, the meteorite was divided into many pieces, the largest of which had fallen into the lake Chebarkul not far from Chelyabinsk, and the remaining fragments scattered over a wide area, including some regions of Russia and Kazakhstan. According to NASA, the largest space object falling to the ground, since the Tunguska bolide.
"Guest" from outer space struck the city quite considerable damage: the blast in many buildings smashed windows, and about 1,600 people received injuries of varying severity.
In this series of "space" for Chelyabinsk adventure is not over: a few weeks after the fall of the meteorite, on the night of March 20 in the sky over the city hung a huge glowing ball. He watched very many citizens, but the exact explanation of where all of a sudden there was the "second sun", and even at night, yet. However, some believe that the ball is originated from the reflection of the city lights on the specific location of ice crystals in the atmosphere - that night Chelyabinsk covered thick cold mist.
3. Sakhalin monster
The remains of an unknown substance found soldiers of the Russian army on the coast of Sakhalin Island in September of 2006.

To fish it also can not be attributed, and the locals who showed soldiers find, could not recognize it any creature that lives in these waters. The remains of animal tissue, and, by him, it was covered with hair. The corpse quickly got their hands on special services, and further his studies took place "behind closed doors».
Now, most experts are inclined to believe that these were the remains of any cetacean, according to some versions - or killer whales, but others argue that their skeleton being different from those from the other. Alternatively, the "accepted" view can be called the opinion that the remains belonged to prehistoric animals, which probably still preserved in the depths of the oceans.
4. Seeing mermaid
Mermaids - one of the main heroes of Russian folklore. According to legend, the spirits that live in ponds, are born as a result of painful death of women and children, and rumor has it that the meeting with the mermaid does not bode well: they often tempt men, luring them into the depths of lakes or swamps, stealing children frighten animals and generally do not behave decently too. According to tradition, to the year it was successful and fertile, villagers brought various gifts mermaids, singing them songs and dances staged in honor of the undead souls.

In addition, the great depth were discovered voids where the temperature reached 1100 ° C. Some have even reported the demon off from the well and glowing inscription "I won," emerged in the sky after the hole in the ground heard terrible screams.
All this gave rise to rumors that Soviet scientists drilled "well hell," but many of the "evidence" can not withstand scientific criticism, for example, documented that the temperature at the bottom, which reached the drill, was 220 ° C.
Perhaps the best thing about "pit" David told Myronovych Huberman, one of the authors and the project leaders of the Kola super-deep well: "When I was questioned about the mysterious history, I do not know what to say.

Really was recorded a very strange noise, then there was an explosion ... Several days later, nothing like that at the same depth it was not found ».
