Few people know that after Crimea joined Russia, our country has a new object … to search for a reasonable alien life. Evpatoria Center for Long-Range Space Communication pursues many goals, and one of them is access to contact with representatives of extraterrestrial civilization.
About this center, from which the first was run 60 years ago artificial companion in the history of mankind, many interesting rumors.

In the late 50s of the last century, the USSR developed interplanetary Mars and Venus research stations. Naturally, to scientists not only advanced spacecraft were required, but also The most efficient flight management system with Rem. Nikita Khrushchev informed Sergey Korolev in 1959 that during the year it is necessary to build a center for long-distance space communications, and then Soviet craftsmen engaged in the construction of the Yevpatoriya complex.
Top-secret radio telescope in Crimea
These days, these antennas near the sea surprise few people, although once this object was top-secret. Many local residents still believe that the “plates” disperse the clouds, thanks why the weather is so rare in the city. In fact, this urban legend, and Evpatoria confuse cause and effect. IN in reality, this place was chosen for the construction of the center space communications precisely because there are 250 days a year shining the sun.
Workers at the complex still call three antennas “royal”, because they were built earlier allotted Khrushchev term, and at that time this radio telescope was unique. Despite the fact that the construction was carried out in strict secrecy, the Americans immediately began intensified surveillance of the Soviet project, including direct espionage. This, by the way, is still dedicated one urban legend that may even be true.
It is said that in May 1979 a warrant officer on duty at space center checkpoint, decided to plunge into the sea and temporarily entrusted the post to the soldier. The beach was only a hundred meters. Once there, the officer noticed a man tanning in swimming trunks by the water and reading the newspaper. When the ensign is plenty bought up, went ashore and began to dry out in the sun, a stranger got up, asked him to follow things and also headed to water.

Having sailed from the shore, the man dived, but never seemed anymore on the surface. The officer suspected something was amiss and called by special communication patrol boat. He went into the sea and took direction to the submarine, rapidly leaving in neutral waters. Stop her never managed. Subsequently, the military combed the bottom and found under water several scuba diving and diving suits. Probably a spy frightened that he was noticed, and hastened to hide with accomplices.
About aliens and not only about them
From the very beginning of its work, that is, from the Soviet era time, the Evpatoria radio telescope constantly sends into space signals intended for the “green men”. Scientists are not especially counted on the answer and not too upset when not received it. But this is only according to official data. Some ufologists argue that in 1986 the Evpatoria Center for Far space communications unexpectedly received an oncoming signal from a star alpha cassiopeia however astronomers decided for a reason ignore it. Maybe the aliens didn’t tell earthlings something too friendly?

Of course, the antennas of a radio telescope are intended not only for search for extraterrestrial life forms. With their help, our compatriots monitor the seismic situation in the Crimea and around the world, control Russian orbital vehicles, control outer space over the Russian Federation, spend promising research. In a word, Evpatoria deep space communications center – truly irreplaceable complex.
