We have never received any proof whatsoever that UFOs or other supernatural phenomena actually exist. The authorities asked me many times to prove or refute reports of this or that inexplicable incident on the planet. Most frequently, I received requests concerning UFOs and yetis, the “snow people.” I would commission our best specialists and agents to find out where the reports that worried society so much, came from. In the end it always turned out to be pure imagination. Sometimes an ignorant observer would interpret an unfamiliar phenomenon in a mystical way, sometimes a perfectly ordinary event would be called supernatural, to make news. Often the people would add that the KGB knew about the supernatural phenomenon, but wanted to keep it secret.
With full responsibility I have to state — never, ever, during the long period of my work with the intelligence service, was anything really supernatural spotted, either in Russia or in any other country. When I say “other country,” I rely on information from the highest officials, military, research, and of course the intelligence agencies of foreign states. The point is, in every “important” country, presidents, prime ministers and secret service chiefs requested investigations into resident abnormal incidents. And in every case, in each country, competent people would give one and the same answer — no. I have personally read copies of these reports. I finally came to the conclusion that, for better or for worse, there is nothing supernatural on the Earth.
