One of the Strangest UFO Encounters in the Soviet Archives

<p>An invisible barrier.A stranger who vanishes.And a question: “Do you want to see girls?”This week on Stories Lost, we travel west of Moscow to the strange case of Vladimir Bogachev, who claimed that a fishing trip on June 28, 1980, led to an encounter with people he could not always see.A towering stranger appears in a field. Three girls walk through a picture suspended over the countryside. Then an unseen hand leads Bogachev into a brightly lit room, where unfamiliar men tell him he will remember nothing afterward.For roughly six months, he said, he didn’t. The memories returned only after he did something the visitors had specifically forbidden.But that’s only part of the story.🔹 An invisible obstacle that makes him ill🔹 A stranger who disappears and returns in green🔹 Three girls speaking an unknown language🔹 Nine red stars above a control panel🔹 A warning, missing memories, and a telephone number🕰 Chapters00:00 – “Do You Want to See Girls?”01:45 – The Testimony in the Soviet Archives02:43 – The Invisible Barrier — 197903:38 – The Noise Above the River04:47 – The Stranger in the Field05:25 – The Man in the Green Suit06:04 – Three Girls in a Meadow07:13 – Led by an Invisible Hand07:59 – Inside the Brightly Lit Room09:16 – The Men Behind the Curtain09:56 – “You Will Remember Nothing”10:25 – Three Hundred Ships on Earth11:51 – Collapse on the Way to the Bus12:30 – The Memories Return13:22 – Returning with His Family15:14 – Burned Grass and the Investigation16:31 – Dowsing Outlines and Physical Traces18:04 – Varlamov’s Later Claims19:09 – Memory and Missing Evidence20:07 – Felix Zigel’s Interpretation21:55 – If They Called You22:53 – Outro23:10 – Members and PatronsThis episode follows Bogachev’s account, recorded by engineer Z.
