"they said, it was about 40meters long, made of metal, had some openings, and some kind of wings. it flew near the russian spaceship, about 20
or 30meters distance. the pilot told the control station anbout the ufo. after return to earth, he made a report, and he was told to dont tell anybody
of what happened. the video and the radio traffic was never released. only after the collapse of the udssr, the pilot has the feeling, to tell the
story unpunished. its always still classified as an ufo."
Thank you very much for this translation!

The OP original post was about the wiki talking about the sighting between May 14 and May 18, 1981, with cosmonauts Vladimir Kovalyonok and Viktor
Savinykh.

We should consider that the info about the Salyut 6 UFO in 1981 talks about a piece of film footage filmed by the cosmonaut. Nobody ever mentioned
about Salyut UFO captured on video.
We have video capturing devices today. What they had in 1981 were film capturing devices.
If this piece of film is still preserved in its original form it might not have been encoded in any video format yet.

As regards the actions of these aliens after the star maps were displayed the first thing that came to mind was "follow me" however this does
assume that they did not know the limited capabilities of Salyut 6 which is hard to swallow if they were an advanced race.
Of course they may have come to realize this and the close maneuvering may have been an invitation to board their craft and go somewhere else.
These are just idle musings and without further material data I fear this story will become mythos like so many others, I am happy though that at
least I am aware of it now and thank the OP for posting, have a star
Interesting that you say that!
The crafts immediate departure and arrival followed immediately after their response to an OK sign hand gesture by the astronauts, when they repeated
this sequence 6 times. I must take note of the number 6.
1 turn of this sequence would not be enough to get their message through for "follow me".
From 2 up to 3, 4 and 5 turns of this sequence, would probably pass a different message to the cosmonauts than the intended, but 5 turns plus 1 more
turn to show that a new cycle of communication is initiated with a context relevant to the former that was terminated and was interpreted as 5 from
the aliens (5=number of fingers at each hand in the human physiology, cosmonauts used their 5 fingers to transmit a message that was successfully
interpreted as confirmation for further contact, new cycles of messaging)
In the logic and fashion that the Soviet cosmonauts initiated first their initial contact, What the aliens probably expected was that the Soviet
cosmonauts would probably initiate a space walk to board the aliens more capable craft to move to another more appropriate destination for the aliens,
for a second cycle of contact to begin.
When that message failed, and the cosmonauts decided to talk with Morse code, no further "conversation" with the alien beings was successful.
The next day, the first thing the aliens did was to introduce the idea of a space walk to the cosmonauts, since, the prior day they had luck with
their first thing they did in their encounter and that was to simply appear and wait inside their spaceship, before signal contact begin, this time
their next chapter of intended actions was to simply stand with their suits near the Salyut 6 space station in the hope humans would follow the same
action for further contact to be initiated.
So in order to follow a successful protocol of actions (prior day events) aliens probably waited for the cosmonauts to initiate contact first as it
happened at day 1 IMO.
It could make sense, no?

IMO I have to think that this, the dumb-bell object, was a larger vehicle that carried the 8 to 10 meters smaller spaceship near the vicinity of the
Salyut 6 orbit.
What I've discovered with my research is that this dumb bell object probably displayed here:
from the link posted by
itisibrian
Was
THE SAME object the crew of
Apollo 11 saw, (and Buzz Aldrin confirmed) to their trip to the moon!
Here is the object seen from inside Apollo 11!
I have even made a CGI model of this object 2 years back but I must search for it. It mostly resembles the sketch in the first picture which is the
Russian sighting.

If this is confirmed, you heard it here in ATS first!
Now notice another sketch by Vladimir Kovalyonok (the cosmonaut with the camera) the egg shaped object in the right in front of the large bell that
holds another vehicle inside, might have been connected to the ship at the front and was detached later, also it could be with enhanced luminosity
compared to the other parts of the dumb-bell!, we can see them all connected together in the Apollo 11 video here if my theory is correct! Also it
would add more credibility to the Salyut 6 contact and prove Kovalyonok was not trying to pull something for personal benefits!

Buzz Aldrin confirming UFO contact with Apollo 11:

Apollo 11 launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin
Eugene 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.
