Alien Lore No. 102—The Reds Had Their Own Project Bluebook

According to Pravda, KGB agents recording UFO observations in a Blue Folder. . .not unlike our own government's Project Bluebook. The Blue Folder was declassified years ago. Soviet cosmonaut Pavel Popovich received a copy of the folder from the KGB in 1991. Popovich is now an honorary president of the Academy of Informational and Applied Ufology.

The Blue Folder reports on observed UFO flights and details some attempts by the military to capture some of The Greys.

In 1968, 13 aircraft designers and engineers of the Soviet Committee on Space Technology and Exploration sent a letter, requesting a special organization for the study of UFOs to Soviet Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin. A reply to the letter was sent by an Academician Shchukin:

“A number of competent organizations of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the Chief Directorate of Meteorological Service, Defense Ministry and a few other agencies considered the issue of nature of the so-called flying objects. The organizations involved in the study of the atmosphere and space have been instructed to register and do research on any cases of UFOs for identification purposes. The USSR Academy of Sciences is charged with general monitoring of the phenomena, and therefore a special organization for the study of UFOs is not required.”

“It was a real breakthrough,” says Vladimir Azhazha, president of the above academy and keeper of the Blue Folder. “The authorities not only acknowledged the existence of UFOs for the first time, they also showed their great interest in the issue."


According to AzhazhaPavel Popovich was given the folder after requesting reports on the cases of UFOs. I received the folder from Popovich, it was a 124-page compilation of reports about the encounters with UFOs. The reports filed by authorities, military units COs and eyewitnesses. It took us a long time to get rid of some doubts before making the folder public."

Mr. Popovich saw a UFO once while flying in a passenger plane from Washington to Moscow. The object looked like a shining triangle and flew near the plane at about 600 miles per hour before vanishing into thin air.

Despite the letter that denied the KGB had tracked UFOs, the contents of the folder indicated seem to tell another story. The KGB launched investigations in several cases, for example, an anomaly observed near the village of Burkhala in the Magadan region on October 21, 1989. The report on the incident says: “The eyewitnesses claim to have watched a red shining sphere circulating above the village for half an hour.”

KGB agents never did figure out what happened at the airport of the city of Mineralnye Vody on December 15, 1987. According to the airport dispatchers, at 11:15 PM, flight No 65798 reported seeing an “object resembling an aircraft with its headlights on.” Radar showed no aircraft in the area. The UFO disappeared after three minutes.

The crew of another plane also observed a UFO flying in that area at 11:20. The UFO left a fiery trail in the air. The crews of the both planes reported that the UFO had disappeared after a flash or explosion. A villager saw "a burning plane" flying over his village at 11:30. Eyewitnesses said the plane then disappeared. There was no wreckage or any evidence of a plane crash.


The army at times made attempts to deal with UFOs without KGB involvement. In August 1987, servicemen of an antiaircraft unit based on the Tiksi Peninsula tried to “get to know better” an unidentified flying object that appeared on a radar screen. A report from Colonel Lobanov, a duty officer of a military unit said: “An unidentified target detected by the radar station of the commandant’s office of the antiaircraft unit at 05.45 Moscow time.” The target moved at a speed varying from 0 to 250 miles per hour. At 6:55, a helicopter took off for a closer examination of the object. The object became invisible (or just disappeared). Another aircraft flying in the vicinity at the time reported an green cloud with traces of purple and dark spots visible in the middle

An incident occurred in the Leningrad Military Region in early August of 1987. Five officers were dispatched to the northern part of Karelia to accompany an object of unknown origin that had been located near the city of Vyborg. The object was said to be 14 m long, 4 meters wide and 2.5 m high. The military failed to open the “extraterrestrial can.” Eventually, the object disappeared from the hangar late September.

On July 28, 1989, a UFO caused a panic military personnel near Kapustin Yar, in the Astrakhan region. Corporal Valery Voloshin was on duty in the communications center at the time. He filed a report on the case.

Researchers now believe the Blue Folder is a valuable cache of information. According to Mr. Azhazha, the evidence suggests that intelligent life forms control the objects that mean no harm to human beings. Nothing in the Blue Folder indicates that any UFO had ever taken action against any human. Every single episode the Soviets recorded depicts the aliens essentially performing drive-bys.
