Plenty of time to memorize all that I was observing. It involved a series of four crewed scientific research space stations and two crewed military reconnaissance space stations over a period of 15 years, from 1971 to 1986. Was it something else? Only two Interkosmos "guest cosmonauts" worked in Salyut 7. Looking through the windows, the cosmonauts noticed several unknown creatures about 30 meters tall, who were flying through space, while smiling. The idea of the film, based on real events to save the Salyut 7 orbital station, belongs to television journalist Alexei Samoletov, specializing in space issues. It was the eighth space station of any kind launched. Will We Ever Be Able to Sleep Our Way to the Stars? A specially constructed shooting pavilion was located in a suburb of Saint Petersburg, as the Lenfilm premises were not able to accommodate everything needed.

However, the evidence disappeared after the events were declassified. container: 'taboola-mid-article-thumbnails', jai hind //Salyut this sir // #trending #video #shortvideo It was boosted into a higher orbit of 475km or 295 miles, to delay re-entry. Russian Cosmonauts Saw 30-Meter Tall-Aliens Smiling At Them In Space During 1980 Flight Of Salyut-7. In 1978 the Soviet Salyut-6 exceeded the long-standing Skylab record when its first crew passed 96 days in orbit. Respect other views and opinions, and keep an open mind. At this time the station was uninhabited, after the departure of Leonid Kizim, Vladimir Solovyov and Oleg Atkov, and before the next crew arrived. Salyut-7 could help make this a reality, by testing out new hardware and training cosmonauts. Ultimately, however, the accounts of the cosmonauts and the incident itself, has largely come together from released reports and research. The fault was eventually found to be an electrical sensor that determined when the batteries needed charging. [2] Aside from the many experiments and observations made on Salyut 7, the station also tested the docking and use of large modules with an orbiting space station. #aliens #ufos The crew of the Mir space station also observed unidentified objects. DOS-6, short for Durable Orbital Station[1]) was a space station in low Earth orbit from April 1982 to February 1991. In the end, although they had all seen exactly the same thing, they chalked it up to the stresses and rigors of being in space for so long, resigning themselves to the explanation that their minds had simply been playing tricks on them. I also observed on my monitors, the spacecraft of the ET as it was in a stabilized, safe orbit to the rear of the Space Shuttle main engine pods. Concerns about a possible fluid leak meant the replacement crew boarded . It was aloft for eight years and ten months (a record not broken until Mir), during which time it was visited by 10 crews constituting six main expeditions and four secondary flights (including French and Indian cosmonauts). To maintain a presence in Low Earth Orbit, the Soviet Space Agency took the decision to fly one more single-launch station, thats a small space station that can be lifted into orbit completely in one launch. At two points during his spaceflight aboard the Vostok-1, Gagarin inexplicably went silent and lost contact, and when he was asked about it later he was not sure what had happened, thinking he may have just briefly lost consciousness. It also seems rather implausible that a group of six highly trained, well-respected cosmonauts would get together and make up such a story as a hoax. Auditory hallucinations happen when you hear voices or noises that don't exist in reality. The details included in the articleare based on the reports, accounts and documentation available as provided bywitnesses and publications - sources/references are published above. Last chance to join our 2020 Costa Rica Star Party! The Soviets understood that docking a crewed Soyuz spacecraft with Salyut 7 was a supremely dangerous maneuver. Various crew and modules were used over its lifetime, including a total of 12 manned and 15 unmanned launches. Join MU Plus+ and get exclusive shows and extensions & much more! Ten Soyuz T crews operated in Salyut 7. In April of 1982, the Soviet Union launched its ambitious Salyut 7 space station as part of the Soviet Salyut Programme, which started in 1971 and had the aim of eventually sending up a total of four crewed scientific research space stations and two crewed military reconnaissance space stations. The account, although seeing news coverage at the time, only really came to light in a fuller manner at the end of the Cold War. There hovering in space in front of the space station were what the crew would describe as seven enormous winged humanoid beings estimated as being around 90 feet in height and with calm, smiling faces, and it was from these bizarre entities that the ethereal light was apparently emanating. The most rational and scientific answer is that these cosmonauts experienced what they had suspected in the beginning, which is some sort of mass hallucination or madness brought on by the demanding stresses, fatigue, and the harsh conditions of space. Soviet spacecraft usually depended on an automated docking system, but that relied on computers aboard both vessels being in constant communication with each other. Youll come back to Earth, before the apparition vanished into thin air right before his eyes. The work was performed by Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh on the Soyuz T-13 mission during June 1985, in what was in the words of author David S. F. Portree "one of the most impressive feats of in-space repairs in history". As with its predecessors, Salyut-7 had docking ports to the fore and aft, so crew rotation and resupply could happen simultaneously. To protect the inside of the windows, they were covered with removable glass panels. They were perfectly sound of body and mind. Based on actual events. It jettisoned its recovery module on 23 August, and re-entered the atmosphere on 19 September. The BST-1M telescope used in Salyut 6 was replaced by an X-ray detection system.[3]. There was no fire aboard Soyuz T-13 during the mission, and this seems to be the filmmakers combining the story of the later fire aboard the Mir space station in order to add more tension and drama to the film's ending. In the fall of 1990, astronauts saw a certain silvery ball in the Earths atmosphere. Project 33, The Chulucanas Incident, And Perus Official UFO Office. . Filming lasted several months with great physical exertion. The film ends with a fictitious scene showing Challenger rendezvousing with the Salyut 7 station and the astronauts onboard saluting the cosmonauts on Salyut 7 who were on an emergency EVA to fix the station's solar sensor. Dzhanibekov and Savinykh, however, had the advantage of a fully functioning Soyuz spacecraft, which could ferry them back them Earth at any time. The first problem was how do you dock with a dead space station that used an automatic powered docking system. The events were largely the same as the first time they appeared. Hallucination or not? The film was released in Russia on October 12, 2017 by Nashe Kino in RealD 3D.[3]. In 1985 one of the most audacious space rescue missions was launched by the Soviets to recover a space station that had been dead for months due to an unknown fault. The Salyut programme ( Russian: , IPA: [slut], meaning "salute" or "fireworks") was the first space station programme, undertaken by the Soviet Union. In June 1984, on its 155th day in orbit, the three crew members of the Salyut 7 suddenly reported a bright orange light around the space station. According to the cosmonauts on board the Salyut 7, huge angel-like manifestations were present outside their craft. As bizarre as some of these claims might be, they make for some interesting theories. Enter the Space & Beyond Box Photo Contest! Based on actual events. After contact with the Salyut 7 space station is lost, cosmonauts Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh dock with the empty, frozen craft, and bri USSR, June 1985. As the cosmonauts opened the hatches to equalise air pressure with the station, they felt a rush of freezing air. [1] The medical, biological and exercise sections were improved, to allow long stays in the station. Our latest book, Historys Most Bizarre, Outlandish, And Controversial UFO And Alien Encounters contains over 60 encounters. Each of the cosmonauts was subject to intense and prolonged examinations upon their return to Earth. [6] Jean-Loup Chrtien who flew on both Franco-Soviet and then later Franco-American space missions, serves as the inspiration for the French astronaut sent on the American mission to recover Salyut 7 in the film. }); window._taboola = window._taboola || []; placement: 'Right Rail Thumbnails', Instead, the only solution was to send up a Soyuz with a two-man crew consisting of Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Victor Savinikh to dock manually with Salyut-7 and attempt a rescue. Jean-Loup was indeed on the backup crew of the STS-51-G flight of Space Shuttle Discovery that was launched 11 days after the start of Soyuz T-13 on June 17, 1985.

The cosmonauts stated the angels had a wingspan akin to the size of 747 jets, and were eighty feet tall. Even as recently as 2008, an anonymous spacecraft operator from the Kennedy Space Center stated he witnessed a large alien standing in the payload bay of a space shuttle. Launched in April 1982, the Salyut 7 Space Station locked into Earths orbit soon after. Investigation proved this not to be the case. Dzhanibekov piloted his ship to intercept the forward port of Salyut 7 and matched the station's rotation. It was finally de-orbited on 7 February 1991 over the town of Capitn Bermdez. According to the crew members, the humanoids were flying at the same speed as the station for 10 minutes. After all, no one had ever really spent this much time continuously in space before, and so it should be only natural that they should have such visions. Receive the latest articles directly in your inbox weekly. Although the seven angels witnessed by the Soviet cosmonauts had very distinct features, they essentially appeared out of nowhere. The initial crew consisted of Soviet cosmonauts, Leonid Kizim, Vladimir Solovyov and Oleg Atkov (who served as a cardiologist). With a 70-80% chance of success, the mission was given the go-ahead. Unbelievably, there have been other accounts of being visited by similar apparitions in space, with some cases coming even before the Salyut 7 sightings. The engineers had to come up with an entirely new set of docking techniques. Following up the use of Kosmos 1267 on Salyut 6, the Soviets launched Kosmos 1443 on 2 March 1983 from a Proton SL-13. https://ufoinsight.com/space/history/salyut-7-space-hallucinations #aliens #ufos In 1979, the Soviets introduced a new vari ant of the Soyuz spacecraft, designated Soyuz T. The last flight launched under the . You can see a very short clip of this feat below. He claims that over one of the 27-inch monitors he not only observed an enormous entity between 8 to 9 feet tall in the space shuttles payload bay, but also that it was actually interacting with the astronauts. They were also claimed to exude a feeling of calm and peacefulness, and oddly the cosmonauts felt no fear during the encounter, merely wonderment. The author does not own the rights to this content. It had two docking ports, one on either end of the station, to allow docking with the Progress unmanned resupply craft, and a wider front docking port to allow safer docking with a Heavy Kosmos module. Although the air supply was safe they were limited to just one crew member at a time working in the station because with no circulation systems working, the carbon dioxide from the crew members own breath could build up to dangerous levels.
