APRIL 1978, BESKUDNIKOVO, MOSCOW, RUSSIA, SOMEONE:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Russian scientist and ufologist Felix Ziegel reportedly told that in Beskudnikovo, Russia, in April 1978, at 05:30 a.m., someone looking out through the window of his second floor appartment saw four disc-shaped objects hovering at second story level.

Each object had a transparent dome and inside sat a humanoid wearing a transparent helmet. The humanoids resembled normal earthmen about 35 years old. They wore dark "motorcyclist" jackets and sat still with an expression of restfulness and content on their faces.

The objects emitted strange beams of blue green light towards the ground. Each beam was apparently composed of dotted particles of light, which slowly descended towards the ground.

The witness apparently fainted and did not see the objects depart.

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Beskudnikovo, Russia, in April 1978, at 0530 a.m., the witness looked out through the window of his second floor apartment and noticed four hovering disc shaped objects at second story level. Each object had a transparent dome and inside sat a humanoid wearing a transparent helmet. The humanoids resembled normal earthmen of about 35 years of age; they wore dark "motorcyclist" jackets and sat still with an expression of restfulness and content on their faces. The objects emitted strange beams of blue green light towards the ground. Each beam was apparently composed of dotted particles of light, which slowly descended towards the ground. The witness apparently fainted and did not see the objects depart.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Felix Y Zigel UFO landings in the USSR And other Countries."
