In a article published in 1981 in a ufology magazine, it seems that Russian ufologist Nikita Schnee reported that a respected high rank officer of the Red Army, or some military man named Anatoly, had an encounter with "entities" near the shores of a place indicated as Lake Pyrogovskoye at the end of May or at the beginning of June 1978.
The entities are described as wearing dull color cellophane-like clothes and to have led him to a "room" where they gave him "salted lemonade" to drink and had a long chat with him. According to various versions' circulating on the Internet without reference of source, the officer was amazed that these aliens didn't even know that alcohol was welcome to celebrate this intergalactic meeting - the aliens told they came from another galaxy. They are said to have produced some alcohol thanks to the chemical formula that the officer then gave them. As the officer found it decidedly amazing that such an advanced extraterrestrial civilization does not know about alcohol, those virtuously answered back that maybe if we had used they we would not be so highly developed.
The entities are said to have told him that they were observing the Earth but did not want to interfere with our business.
The entities are said to have decided to erase the memories of the events from the officer's mind but it worked only partly.
The officer is said to have found himself laying, back where he had initially met them, with his mind somewhat hazy, apparently from the salted lemonade, or perhaps by the alcohol, and there was "an apparent time distortion."
Back home, it appears that his wife did not want him to talk about the encounter to his chiefs, but he had to because he had been missing from duty while with the aliens. It is told that the Red Army was finally convinced that he told the truth, thanks to hypnosis and the lie detector, the case then variously being presented as "officially admitted alien abduction by the Red Army" or "verified to experts' satisfaction" as "genuine."

[Ref. jr1:] JENNY RANDLES:
Jenny Randles indicates that one of the rare investigators in the Soviet Union where UFO investigation is somewhat suppressed by the Communist state reported on a case involving a high-ranking and respected officer in the Russian army, who in late May/early June 1978 encountered entities by the shores of the Pyrogovskoye Lake.
The entities wore dull-colored cellophane-like garments and led him to a "room" where they gave him some "salty lemonade" to drink and had a long talk with him.
The entities said they came from space and were observing the earth but could not interfere. They decided to clear the officer's memory of the events but only partly succeeded in this task.
The officer found himself back where he had first met them with his mind somewhat hazy and there was an apparent time distortion.
Jenny Randles indicates that detailed investigation verified to experts' satisfaction that the case was genuine.
She comments that the reports sounds much alike similar reports of the rest of the world although she estimates that there seems little likelihood that the officer had ever heard of alien contacts.
Jenny Randles indicates that the source is N. Schnee, in "Contact Reported Near Pyrogovskoye Lake", FSR, Vol. 26 #1, 1980.

Occasionally there is some light relief. In spring 1978 a Red Army officer was abducted by the shores of the Pyrogovskoye Lake in Russia. Once he had got used to his humanoid hosts, he suggested they ought to toast this cross-cultural contact with a suitable drink. They did not understand. So he sketched out the chemical structure of alcohol and the aliens retired and immediately made some. "How is it that such a highly developed civilisation does not use something like this?" the Russian asked. "Maybe if we had used it we would not be so highly developed," was the response. |
It seems that we are supposed to believe without any shred of evidence that the Red Army "admitted" that on of their high rank officers met aliens and was suprized that they wouldn't share some vodka with him the occasion.
However, I failed to locate a Lake Pyrogovskoye or Pyrogovskaya in Russia or ex-USSR. It seems that there exists embankments of this name at lake Baïkal, another in Moscow, another in Saint Petersburg, but I could not find a lake of this name.
Russian ufologist Nikita A. Schnee, primary source for this case by his article in the Flying Saucer Review in 1981 (and not 1980) proves to have been a partner of Vladimir Azhazha, [aka Ajaja], a sensationalist ufologist known for his pure inventions of UFO sightings.
