The astronauts returning to Earth make up the longest reports, painting literally in minutes every day, every hour of stay in orbit. Scientists studying the effects of space on humans, everything interests: what they watched, felt, slept, what saw dreams. However, cosmonauts preferred something, and still prefer to withhold. We are talking about cases of so-called “transformation consciousness “or the FSS phenomenon (fantastic dream-states). Among themselves, the astronauts call it the “Solaris effect”, prophetically predicted by S. Lem.
The first to encounter the “Solaris effect” was Yuri Gagarin. When he first heard music played on power tools, he he said that he heard something similar during his flight. Alexei Leonov also heard strange music, and Vladislav Volkov – crying baby and barking dog. Cosmonaut Sevastyanov claimed that flying over Sochi, he saw his two-story house. Similar cases the experts, and the astronauts themselves, are classified as hallucinations, although acting on the psyche, but understandable. But it happens and something paranormal.

Realistic hallucinations in astronauts
Many astronauts experienced dreams in space waking up associated with movement in space and time. For example, one astronaut saw himself in the “skin” of a dinosaur. Feel were very real. He described in detail his paws covered in scales. skin, fingers with membranes. He walked on some unknown the planet, I felt the plates rising on the ridge, muscles tensed and contracted. The sounds of the environment were heard of the world, smells were felt. The visual images were bright, distinct. An unfamiliar world was perceived as familiar and dear. Other claimed to be in the body of an alien humanoid. According to astronauts, it was not a dream, and not hallucinations, but 100% “moving”.
“Transformation” is always accompanied by a compaction of time. By man is in such a state only a few hours minutes, but for the most “moving” several hours pass. Many of those faced with the FSS phenomenon perceived this as the result of exposure to their brain of some external source, as if someone outside, powerful and great, sought to convey to them an important and unusual information.
The astronauts preferred to speak, for fear of disqualification from doctors as individuals, having mental disabilities. But in confidential conversations warned newcomers who were about to fly soon, with which they will have to face.

The first to try the problem of the “Solaris effect” attention of scientists test cosmonaut Sergey Krichevsky, speaking since 1995 with a report on the FSS phenomenon. In 1998, never Krichevsky who was in space was expelled from the cosmonaut corps and prematurely discharged to the reserve. Apparently his interest in strange phenomena the authorities considered it “unhealthy.”
Unlike Krichevsky, test pilot, doctor of technical Sciences Marina Popovich, collecting evidence from astronauts about the “Solaris effect”, was in no hurry to reveal the collected information to the world, realizing that the time for this has not yet come. She collected more than 2,000 astronaut stories about cases “transformation of consciousness” for many years waiting in the wings. And only in lately she received permission from some of respondents make public the records provided.
The astronauts themselves, whose consciousness was transformed, often experience a painful desire to relive this condition. Therefore, many of them become esotericists, philosophers, go into expeditions in search of a bigfoot or explore places UFO landings. They are drawn to another world. As Marina Popovich noted, “they go into space alone by people, and return completely different, as if there they encountered something unknown and became his part”.
