One mentioned there the sending combat aircraft in mission of interception of the discovered UFO. The general Maltsev, who made the synthesis of more than hundred visual observations collected by majors of unity, declared :
" I am not a specialist of the UFO, and so I can only connect among them the data and express my own hypothesis. According to the data collected by these witnesses, the UFO was a disc of a diameter from 100 to 200 meters. Two lights flashed on the sides... Furthermore, the object turned around its axis and made an evolution in shape of S at the same moment in the plans vertical and horizontal. Then the UFO remained still over the ground, then flew from a speed two - three times superior to that of the modern combat aircraft... Objects flew from heights going from 100 to 7000 m. The movement of the UFO was accompanied by no sort of noise and was characterized by a stunning maneuvrability. The UFO seemed completely deprived by slowness. In other words, they had one way or another mastered the gravity. At the moment, ground machines could not present such characteristics ".
