Footage shows Soviets developing flying saucers?

I'm sorry if this has been posted before, I have personally not seen this footage. The craft shown in the video looks nothing like a conventional aircraft or blimp..

I've seen stills of this before but not sure what it's from, I'm sure it's been posted before.. it has to have been .. but it's new to me..

Curious what the source is, it looks legit but HAS to be fake.. my gut just tells me

It's look like a zeppelin who can transport many vehicles including tanks.
1992...just one year after the end of USSR...we are in the context.

it is a blimp,
check out 30 sec to 33 sec mark
and you can see a tail rotor propeller
in the rear of the blimp.

A true UFO would not use this type
propulsion system.

Blimps use propellers

I thought the same at first, however no zeppelin I can find looks like the craft in the video.

It was probably experimental in design.. but no UFO uses propellers I'm sure, at least not of the alien variety

it doesn't have to actually work,
just leaked to the US so they
can start a frenzy at the Pentagon.

And what would the Pentagon do with
this leaked video??

try to build one just like it.

the skin of the craft actually has some ripples
in it if you look close enough. Another
sign it was inflated.

i just did a search for russian blimp pics and this came up:

i know it's CGI, but it sure looks like the same thing. my vote is it's a blimp!

found it:

technicallyjuris.blogspot.com...

its called Lokomoskayner - advanced strategic lift thermoplane airship

looks familiar?

nice1^^



and here the official page: www.locomosky.ru...

case closed =)

I think the craft in question could be related to this...

yeah, I suspected Putin was an alien...

Good find OP

The video purporting to show secret UFO development in fact shows the ALA-40, the first prototype of a flying saucer shaped airship by the Thermoplane Design Bureau.

The ALA-40 was completed at the Aviastar Industrial Complex at Simbirsk and was ground tested in 1992.

See:
www.unrealaircraft.com...

Looking like a flying saucer which has just captured a Mil Mi2 Fuselage, the ALA-40 was a 'proof of concept' design by Aviastar at Ulyanovsk, Russia. The program began in 1985, proceeding under chief designer Yuri Ishkov, and a prototype was ready in 1992. (snip)

The airships were intended to provide large, ecologically clean bulk carriers requiring virtually no airport or ground support. Timber and oil support equipment was among the proposed cargoes, with variants to include a flying tourist hotel, an emergency evacuation vehicle (for sea disasters, earthquake relief etc.), a firefighting aircraft, and a mobile hospital. (snip)

A second prototype (ALA-40-02) was started in 1995, but lack of funding stopped construction.

Pages relating to the ALA-40 include this video on Youtube (and the person that posted it included relevant information and links in the text accompanying that video):

All the best,

Obvious balloon. Look at all the ropes around the craft.

Without much doubt, the main object is a saucer-shaped blimp. You can discern the mooring lines in several of the scenes. But what about that object in the last three second clip at the end? Did you miss it?

That thing gives every indication of being several times the size of the blimp and is of a dark coloration. It seems to be unloading a tank and other equipment from a ramp.

What the hell is that? It is as big as the old LSTs (Landing Ship tank) from WWII days.

This is exactly the kind of craft that some of the triangles seem to be, large enough to hold a self-contained fighting force. No conventional aircraft is that big.

Good spot, didn't notice the last 3 seconds...

I watched those last frames a few times and it gives me a "CGI" vibe. But I am not a video expert so maybe someone else should take a look at it.

that video reminded me of the old movie "flight of the navigator"... good movie... pee wee herman did the voice of the alien ship lol..
