Location. Sarai, Ryazan region, Russia
Date: 1990 Time: late night
Collective farmer, brigadier Alexey Popov was returning home after his shift to the
village of Krivskoye when suddenly he felt that he was loosing control of his
“Zhiguli” car. He stopped wanting to get out of the car and examine the engine, but
he was unable to do that as a bright beam of light shone right through the
windshield of the vehicle. Incredibly the cassette tape jumped out the tape player.
Confused he looked around outside and to his further amazement watched a typical
ambulance or emergency vehicle of the “Rafik” type (RAF-2203) descending from
the sky and land on the road straight ahead. (Apparently the emergency van was
some type of camouflaged UFO). The door of the “ambulance” swung open and a 2
meter tall “hospital attendant” jumped out to the ground from the van. The
stranger was not wearing a hospital gown or uniform and looked more like a “space
alien”. The humanoid then walked straight towards the witness vehicle. At first,
Alexey remained sitting inside his vehicle waiting to see what would happen next.
The “hospital attendant” approached the car and unceremoniously opened the car’s
door and greeted Popov in heavily accented Russian. Popov also greeted him. “What
are you doing here” asked the stranger. “I am coming back from my job, I was on
duty at the collective farm” answered Popov in a trembling voice. Then a menacing
question was asked, “Why have you violated our laws! And then the alien said
something strange, “You do not live, you exist!” “He is right” thought Alexey,
remembering stories told by tourists who had visited foreign countries. Afraid he
told the alien, “I don’t understand anything, what laws do you mean” No
explanation was forthcoming; instead a second giant figure exited the ambulance
and joined the other alien. Popov then approached them silently listening to their
speech and moved stepped back remaining silent. And then a third alien appeared
took the hand of the second alien turned around and told the now demoralized
Popov, “We must leave now, and you go on to your garage. There a man with a
tractor is waiting for you.” The three “hospital attendants” then vanished inside the
“ambulance-van”. Alexey then saw the vehicle’s light turn on and then slowly
without any sound, the strange “ambulance” ascended up into the sky, gained speed
and flew out of sight. Popov then started his car, which worked properly and drove
to the garage. To his amazement he was met by several people in the garage, despite
being very late, apparently the men were mechanics working on the tractor whose
engine had been malfunctioning. But when Alexey approached the tractor, its
engine suddenly began operating correctly. The location of the encounter was then
visited by a local UFO group and a strange phenomenon was detected there, a
column of light that zoomed straight up appeared on several photographs taken of
the location.
