An extraordinary encounter unfolded on a cold night near Moscow when two truck drivers, Oleg Kuznetsov and Nikolai Baranov, came face to face with what appeared to be an extraterrestrial craft. While detouring around road construction, their truck suddenly stalled as they approached a massive disc-shaped object approximately 120-140 feet in diameter with a metallic sheen. Despite feeling increasing resistance in the air as he approached, Oleg managed to get within 30-36 feet of the mysterious vessel.

What followed was even more remarkable—a glimmering red dotted line formed a transparent square-shaped screen visible only to Oleg, displaying messages requesting "burning fire." After gathering matches and alcohol from their truck, Oleg created a small fire by the roadside. In response, a corridor opened in the craft's surface, and a dark, amorphous mass emerged, approached the fire, collected the box of matches, and returned to the vessel. This unprecedented interaction between a human and what appeared to be non-terrestrial intelligence represents one of the most detailed accounts of direct communication with an unknown entity.

Witness Encounter

Initial Perceptions

On a cold night near Arenus, Russia, two truck drivers were taking a detour around road construction when they spotted an unusual metallic structure. The drivers, Oleg Kurakov and Nikolai Baronov, were heading to Moscow and eager to complete their business trip before their holiday. When they approached within 80-90 feet of the mysterious object, their truck engine suddenly stalled, though the headlights remained operational on backup power.

The large disc-shaped object, approximately 120-140 feet in diameter, featured a dome top and dark holes around its perimeter. Two leg-like structures supported the craft, which appeared to be resting on broken trees. The object had no visible windows, doors, or hatches, giving it an uninhabited appearance.

Vehicle Malfunction

The unexpected breakdown left both men confused and uneasy. They sensed something unusual was occurring, yet felt powerless to prevent whatever might happen next. After several minutes of sitting in the stalled truck, Oleg decided to investigate while Nikolai remained in the vehicle to observe.

Oleg's curiosity outweighed his apprehension. Despite the strange circumstances, he wanted to determine what they had encountered and possibly offer assistance if the craft's occupants needed help. The situation seemed beyond ordinary road equipment or construction machinery.

Object Investigation

As Oleg approached the craft, he experienced increasing resistance with each step. His body felt as if it were "melting," making movement increasingly difficult. He tried different directions but encountered the same resistance everywhere. Nevertheless, he managed to get within 30-36 feet of the object.

From this vantage point, Oleg quickly concluded the craft wasn't from Earth. While examining it, a remarkable thing occurred - a transparent square-shaped screen with rounded corners materialized in the air before him. Red letters appeared on this 150mm display with a message requesting "burning fire." Regardless of where Oleg turned, the screen remained directly in his field of vision.

Unexplained Interaction

The communication continued through changing inscriptions on the floating screen, each message remaining visible just long enough for Oleg to comprehend before being replaced. Oleg retreated to the truck to retrieve matches and alcohol used as antifreeze.

When he returned to the truck, both men struggled to open the door, as if some force held it shut. Nikolai questioned why Oleg was reaching for nothing, revealing that the screen was visible only to Oleg. Upon returning to his previous position with the materials, Oleg found he could move without resistance.

After creating a small fire with leaves and alcohol, a passage appeared in the object, revealing a corridor with a bluish light. A dark, swaying mass emerged and descended to the ground via an extended shaft. The amorphous entity approached the fire briefly before returning to the craft, taking Oleg's matchbox with it before disappearing back inside the corridor.

Close Examination

Peculiar Characteristics

During my approach to the strange metallic object, I noticed several unusual physical effects. With each step toward the craft, I felt increasing air resistance that made movement progressively difficult. My body seemed to melt, creating a sensation that would have completely immobilized me had I continued moving closer. This resistance occurred regardless of which direction I approached from, forming an invisible barrier approximately 30-36 feet from the object.

The most extraordinary characteristic was the appearance of a glimmering red dotted line that formed a transparent square screen about 150mm by 150mm with rounded corners. This screen displayed messages in red letters and remained at a constant distance from my eyes, following my gaze no matter where I looked. When I tried to touch it, my hand couldn't make contact. Messages appeared sequentially, each remaining visible only long enough for me to comprehend before being replaced by new text.

Circular Structure

The object had a distinct disc-like shape with an estimated diameter of 120-140 feet. Its metallic surface reflected the truck's headlights with a distinctive sheen. The craft featured:

Large dome on the upper section with no visible structures
Dark holes around the perimeter (possibly portholes)
Two leg-like structures supporting the craft
Slightly elevated edge on one side resting on broken trees

The vessel appeared dark and uninhabited at first glance, with no visible windows, doors, or hatches. This unusual configuration clearly distinguished it from any conventional terrestrial vehicle or construction equipment.

Origin Evaluation

Upon careful observation, I quickly determined this was not a normal object and likely not from Earth. Several factors supported this conclusion:

The craft's ability to project messages directly to me (invisible to my companion)
The unusual force field creating resistance around the perimeter
The appearance of a dark, amorphous entity resembling a "black garbage bag" that emerged from the craft

When I created a small fire as requested through the screen messages, a corridor opened in the object's surface, revealing a bluish light inside. The dark mass moved down an extended shaft to approach the fire, took my box of matches, and returned to the craft via the same path. These capabilities and interactions clearly suggested technology and entities far beyond conventional explanation.

Two-Way Exchange

Mysterious Visual Interface

While standing near the massive disc-shaped craft, I witnessed something extraordinary. A glimmering red dotted line materialized in the air directly in front of me, forming a transparent square screen about 150mm by 150mm with rounded corners. This projection displayed red text that appeared to be communicating with me. The screen maintained a constant distance from my eyes regardless of where I looked or moved—it remained perfectly positioned in my field of vision. Each message stayed visible only long enough for me to comprehend it before being replaced by the next instruction.

When I returned to the truck, Nikolai asked why I was reaching out at nothing, confirming that the screen was visible only to me. This personalized projection seemed to be a sophisticated communication method established by whoever or whatever controlled the craft.

Request for "Burning Fire"

The first message displayed on the floating screen indicated that the craft's occupants wanted "burning fire." Understanding their request, I carefully retreated to our truck to gather supplies. Despite initial difficulty opening the door—as if some force was restraining it—I eventually retrieved a box of matches and a bottle of laboratory alcohol used as antifreeze in our braking system.

After collecting these items, I returned to my previous position. Interestingly, the resistance I'd felt earlier had disappeared, allowing me to move freely. I gathered dry leaves from the roadside, arranged them into a small pile, poured the alcohol over them, and lit the makeshift fire with a match.

Personalized Visibility

The communication system employed by the craft operated on a strictly individualized basis. Only I could see the floating screen with its red text messages, despite Nikolai being just meters away in the truck. This selective visibility demonstrates an advanced capability to target specific individuals for communication.

After lighting the fire, a passage appeared on the craft's surface, revealing a corridor with a bluish light at its end. A dark, amorphous mass—resembling a swaying black garbage bag with indistinct edges—emerged and descended to the ground via an extended shaft. This entity approached the fire, lingered briefly, and then returned to the craft, taking my box of matches before disappearing back inside the corridor.

Working Together

Return to the Vehicle

After encountering the strange disc-shaped craft, Oleg cautiously backed away while still experiencing unusual air resistance. He made his way to the truck where Nikolai waited anxiously. When he reached the vehicle, Oleg attempted to open the passenger door to retrieve some items, but encountered unexpected difficulty. Despite both men's efforts, the door seemed held shut by an invisible force. After several attempts, the door suddenly released and opened normally.

Nikolai appeared confused by Oleg's behavior, particularly asking why he was moving his hands as if reaching for something that wasn't there. It became clear to Oleg that the red-dotted screen with messages was only visible to him - a private communication method established by whatever intelligence controlled the craft.

Collecting Essential Materials

Oleg gathered the necessary items for the requested "burning fire" from the truck. He took a box of kitchen matches and a bottle of laboratory alcohol typically used as antifreeze in the braking system. Despite Nikolai's confusion about the situation, Oleg instructed him to remain in the truck's cabin while he returned to the object.

Interestingly, when Oleg made his second approach toward the craft, he noticed the air resistance had completely disappeared. His movement was now considerably easier than during his initial encounter. This change suggested the craft's operators had modified whatever field had previously impeded his progress.

Creating the Flame

Upon reaching his previous position near the craft, Oleg began collecting materials for a fire:

Dry leaves from alongside the road
Laboratory alcohol as an accelerant
Matches for ignition

He carefully arranged the leaves into a small pile by the roadside. After pouring the alcohol over the collected leaves, Oleg struck a match and ignited the makeshift fire. The moment the flames appeared, a dramatic change occurred in the craft's appearance - a corridor opened on its surface, revealing a bluish light emanating from deep within.

The sight of movement within the corridor startled Oleg, causing him to stumble backward into the roadside ditch. From this position, he watched as a dark, amorphous mass resembling a black garbage bag emerged from the craft. The entity descended to the ground via an extended shaft and approached the burning leaves. After a brief moment by the fire, the strange mass collected Oleg's matchbox from the ground and returned to the spacecraft the same way it had emerged.

The Otherworldly Encounter

Physical Manifestation

On a cold night near Arenus, truck drivers Oleg Kurakov and Nikolai Baronov encountered an extraordinary sight while taking a detour around road construction. Their headlights revealed a massive metallic structure approximately 120-140 feet in diameter with a dome-shaped top. The disc-shaped craft had dark openings around its perimeter and two leg-like structures supporting it. When they approached within 80-90 feet, their truck engine suddenly stalled, though headlights remained functional. The object appeared dark with no visible windows, doors, or hatches, and had damaged trees beneath its slightly elevated edge.

Interaction with the Mysterious Entity

Oleg exited the truck to investigate, experiencing increasing air resistance with each step forward. He managed to approach within 30-36 feet before stopping. Suddenly, a glimmering red dotted line appeared before him, forming a transparent square screen with rounded corners. Red text appeared requesting "burning fire," visible only to Oleg regardless of where he looked. The messages changed only after he comprehended each one, suggesting an intelligent communication method specifically tailored to him.

Communication and Retreat

After understanding the request, Oleg returned to the truck for matches and alcohol, though the door initially resisted opening. His partner Nikolai noticed Oleg's strange gestures toward something invisible. Upon returning to his previous position, Oleg:

Gathered dry leaves from the roadside
Poured alcohol over them
Lit the small pile with a match

Once the fire ignited, a corridor appeared in the object with a bluish light visible inside. A dark, amorphous mass emerged, moving like a swaying garbage bag with undefined edges. It descended via an extended shaft and approached the fire. Frozen with fear, Oleg watched as the entity briefly examined the fire before retrieving his matchbox and returning to the craft the same way it had emerged.
