Russian UFO

I assume this is fake, but it's still interesting.

Ok, several observations:

1. Take a look at the angel at which the 'ship' has 'crashed', the trees which are right besides it should be broken, but they haven't
2. The note at the beginning says 'Top secret. KGB archive.' Ok, let's assume this is the real KGB UFO crash retrieval process documentary, what do they shoot? I can not see in this movie any small detail which could be interesting in terms of having any kind of inverstigation. No close ups on the ship and its peaces. Nothing.

I noticed that there was not much shearing in the trees.

My first guess was that this was a bad tv reenactment for a ufo documentary or movie.

It has that washed out look with oversaturated warm colors of 60's or 70's technicolor. The shots are very mundane, as if there was no budget for dolly shots, and none of those worms-eye-view Russian shots of the common man hero. The people did not look like they were acting, just milling about appropriately.

I've even wondered if it is legitimate footage, but not a ufo, but something else that merely looks like one to people who don't know much about Soviet era stuff.

So, without knowing the source of this footage, it's intriguing, but that's it.

I saw this show the first time it aired years ago. I never came to any solid conclusion as to whether or not it's fake. There's a lack of info. on this footage if I remember correctly. If not, and you know of some, please post. Thanks.

The angle of impact always bothered me too. I only caught one tree that looked like it was affected, leaning to the left. But the amount of craft, or whatever, embedded in the earth so neatly, without much interruption to the surrounding ground is another giveaway. It looks as though there were a perfect envelope in place to accommodate the object previous to its explosive descent.

No one seems to be trying to get a radioactive signature from it. Looks as though some nearby military unit just decided to check it out for themselves. Bogus.

Since the provenance of the film is unknown(?), I believe we are wise to view it suspiciously.

Poi (and others in the thread) have raised good points.

What troubles me about the film is the way the "recovery unit" is milling around near the "craft" as if they are on a picnic. I believe (guess) that if this were real the site would be much more effectively secured. Participants wouldn't be tramping around recklessly, possibly destroying or ruining small pieces of debris.

In one shot, the camera pans across the snow-covered clearing. It seems odd to me there is no visible outer security perimeter.

My intuition says this is a fake. If so, it was good work.

I kind of think it's real, but it's the access way to a bunker or unused silo or something more mundane. Didn't the USSR have underground bases with lots of air intakes? Well, I'm sure I'm wrong, the more I talke about it. The fact that no one has a geiger counter is something of a give-away.

That's right, silo. Others have theorized that too I recall.

Heres a good link to the full story on the Russian ufo crash but im pretty sure its fake. Between the angle of the ship the trees and the shotty camera work I think its just a hoax. but an expensive one.
