Errant travelers visiting the deserted island of Barsa-Kelmes witnessed abnormal phenomena but today there is enough anomalies.
The appearance of the island leaves a sad impression. It differs little from that located between the Caspian and Aral Seas Ustyurtsk desert. It is about her conductor-Kazakh, responding to a question the Chief of one of the first scientific expeditions to the Ustyurt: "What is it nature?" - Honestly replied: "There is no nature, no!"
Лет 15 назад мне довелось побывать на Барса-Кельмесе. I flew there on a little Laborers-AN-2 and found that the words of the Kazakh Ustiurt fully fit and appearance of the island. There is nothing or almost nothing. Instead of grass - biyurgun withered and sickly gray sagebrush. Instead of trees - shrubs Haloxylon, under which it is impossible even to hide from the sun. Instead of animals - snakes, scorpions phalanx yes.
But it is precisely this deserted and gloomy island linked more legends and incredible stories, what with all the Caspian-Aral region. There is always something mysterious and inexplicable.
For example, the history of the old fisherman N. Baydzhanova already disappeared from the village of Muinak, told the visitor metropolitan reporter. Father and grandfather, a fisherman often sailed to the Barca-Kelmes and repeatedly met here ... Shaytaan. Height was a calf, had great wings like a sail, the beak - a long, and with his teeth. As proof of his words startled fisherman showed the journalist a huge tooth "Satan", who once gave him a father. According to the journalist, the tooth was a brilliant, very fresh and absolutely no resemblance to the fossils of ancient animals, is sometimes found on sandy slopes along the shores of the Aral Sea. Give a tooth even for a time a fisherman refused, but allowed to photograph him. When a meticulous journalist said from the snapshot in the Paleontological Institute, and showed it to scientists, it was surprised to learn that the tooth belonged to the flying lizards, lived in these parts many millions of years ago.
There were rumors, however, among Moscow ufologists that Barca-Kelmes in 30-ies of XX century at some time lost the entire topographical expedition. Three months of unsuccessfully looking for. Then it just suddenly appeared, and all of its members as one asserted that absent only three days, during which the topographical survey was carried out north of the island. Then he remembered ufologists about the strange name of the island - "Will you go - do not come back!". Perhaps such disappearances have occurred in the past? Most famous Barca-Kelmes arrivals to the island of "geese" from outer space. This is absolutely incredible fact told Victor Zuev, author of the 1991 book "The Aral impasse.
UFO that appeared over the island for several years, saw all the inhabitants existed at that time in Barca-Kelmes Reserve - 18 people. We met with them and the newcomers - Associate Professor of Botany Leningrad Pedagogical Institute, Lev Kuznetsov and a team of student interns. But most of all the "lucky" huntsman reserve Valentine Skuratskomu. He even went inside the aircraft. Here are some excerpts from his memoirs on the morning of November 17, 1985, when he was temporarily abducted by aliens from outer space.
It was still dark. Only beginning to turn gray. I watched from next door to me, like a frog leaping strange creature. When we became friends, I fear, apparently, grabbed him.
It slipped from the hands, with painful injections in my left leg, leaving me and stayed as he was, in a half-bent position: do not bend, do not relax. I felt like I immobilize like an animal, pre-shipment. Essentially ran across the yard, waving his wings.
Suddenly the state of tetanus passed. I rushed over and being caught up with him near the fence surrounding the estate. It took to beat off the wings, but I would not let go and was able, finally, a good look at it: big dark eyes, long eyelashes, a black tuft of hair on his head, ears and no mouth, big nose, like a bird. Clothing - black jumpsuit.
