Russian Cosmonaut And UFO In Space

I was looking through old clips of the television series "Sightings" and I found a case of a Russian Astronaut witnessing a UFO in space that I hadn't read about before.

I then did a Google search and found a little bit of information on this case ...

In April of 1979, Cosmonaut Victor Afanasyev lifted off from Star City to dock with the Soviet Solyut 6 space station. But while en route, something strange happened. Cosmonaut Afanasyev saw an unidentified object turn toward his craft and begin tailing it through space.

"It followed us during half of our orbit. We observed it on the light side, and when we entered the shadow side, it disappeared completely. It was an engineering structure, made from some type of metal, approximately 40 meters long with inner hulls. The object was narrow here and wider here, and inside there were openings. Some places had projections like small wings. The object stayed very close to us. We photographed it, and our photos showed it to be 23 to 28 meters away."

In addition to photographing the UFO, Afanasyev continually reported back to Mission Control about the craft's size, its shape and position. When the cosmonaut returned to earth he was debriefed and told never to reveal what he knew, and had his cameras and film confiscated.

Those photos and his voice transmissions from space have never been released.

It is only now, with the collapse of the Soviet Union that Afanasyev feels that he can safely tell his story.

"It is still classified as a UFO because we have yet to identify the object."

Yep these stories about Cosmonauts seeing UFOs in orbit have been around for a while. All extremely fascinating IMO.

Not least of which is the casual way they relate the experiences.

Its ok mate. I have been fooled many times too in the past, and its not nice. There is so much BS in this subject :( Finding the good from the bad is not very easy these days.
