Bologoye, Russia: Scientist on Tu-104 sees domed disc fly alongside, then speed off
On July 12, 1964, Assistant Professor Vyacheslav Zaitsev, aboard a Tu-104 airliner over Bologoye, saw a huge domed disc appear below the aircraft, fly a parallel course and then swerve away.
Background
Assistant Professor Vyacheslav Zaitsev was aboard a Tupolev Tu-104 airliner above Bologoye, Tver Oblast, when a huge disc with a domed cabin suddenly appeared below the aircraft. It flew a parallel course for a while, then swerved abruptly and sped away. Felix Ziegel described the case in Soviet Life in February 1968, and NICAP's UFO Investigator reported it as one of the important cases confirmed by a Russian scientist. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
