March 27 marks the 46th anniversary of the tragic death of the first astronaut of the planet Yuri Gagarin during a training flight. Then this event literally shocked the whole world … There is, of course, official version of the crash, raising too many questions. By for this reason, many other unofficial versions have arisen … what are they based on?
March 27, 1968 Gagarin made a training flight under guidance instructor Vladimir Seregin. Both were experienced by the pilots. The tragedy occurred near the village of Novoselovo Kirzhach district of Vladimir region. Commission of Inquiry concluded that piloted by the MiG-15 UTI pilots went into steep a corkscrew and hit the ground … Several reasons were called immediately: foreign object in the engine, depressurization of the cockpit, explosion in the air…
To many, the conclusion of the state commission seemed too vague. it created fertile ground for guesswork, fantasy, and sometimes gossip. So there was, for example, a version that the pilots were “fool”. But it’s known that just before the flight Seregin and Gagarin passed double medical control.
And, of course, no one is intoxicated I would have let them into the sky … In addition, after the death thorough anonymous tests of the remains in several institutions, and neither the slightest sign of alcohol or any “foreign” substances was not found …
Much more critical is the version about aircraft malfunction. UTI MiG-15 worked for 15 years. The machine survived two major repair, and the engine – four. In addition, the aircraft were suspended two tanks with fuel, 260 liters each, which reduced three times permissible overloads and sharply worsened aerodynamic loads. Interestingly, such experiments are neither before the catastrophe nor after it. not carried out. Summed up the pilots and weather reports. Weather turned out to be much worse than what was reported in it.
The error in determining the lower cloud cover was about 400 meters. But why did a working machine go into a fatal corkscrew? Why was the plane’s cabin depressurized? May be, the cause was a balloon, balloon or bird? Neighborhood combed with special care, but suspicious objects are not were found. Cosmonaut A. Leonov was convinced that in the UTI MiG-15 flight zone was another aircraft. The fact is that V. Bykovsky and A. Leonov at this time were parachuting under Kirzhach.

At the time of the disaster, they heard an explosion, and after a second – clap characteristic of an aircraft crossing the sound barrier. Later, local collective farmers accurately described the supersonic Su-15, flying in the accident zone … Indirect confirmation of this version is testimony of the dispatcher at the Chkalovsky airport, which is two more minutes after the disaster on his locator led, as he it seemed Gagarin’s plane … According to A. Leonov, this circumstance decided to “hush up” so as not to destroy the myth of safe the sky over the capital …
The most plausible version of events looks like this. During a flight with Seregin had a heart attack. He unfastened his belts armchairs and a parachute. While piloting, Gagarin did not immediately notice the condition workmate. The instructor’s body not fixed by straps moved on the cab and shifted from the neutral position of the device control, which led to the blocking of some of them. Gagarin not threw a friend in trouble and did not immediately catapult. All decisive 10 minutes he circled over Novoselovo, trying to bring Seregin’s feeling …
There are also witnesses who observed an unidentified person in the disaster area. flying object. Among them is a local resident A. G. Yartseva, who in the period of time when the training flight took place, I saw in the sky is a ball of fire emitting rays. Woman scared and falling on ground, covered her head with her hands. She later heard a nearby sound the explosion … Yartseva found out about the plane crash only the next day … UFO was also observed by schoolboy Yuri Semenov from Petushki and a resident Zarechna village Nikolai Osipov. To them, as to Yartseva, came the roar of an explosion.
Moreover, the pilots themselves saw the UFOs. The tape recorder recorded a snippet of the phrase: “a bright-colored disc-shaped object.” It’s possible that Gagarin tried to maneuver and go aside, trying avoid a collision with the object, but a sharp bend introduced a fighter in a tailspin … Or maybe a flying object simply blinded the pilots bright light or acted on them in an unknown way to us …
