In May 1990, scientists from the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China began a joint study on unexplained phenomena, including UFO sightings. The first meeting took place in Dalnegorsk, a small coastal town in the Soviet Far East, chosen due to the high frequency of sightings in the area over recent years. Experts from both countries agreed to share information, including photographic and video material, to investigate known cases and explore new leads. The region of Maritime Kray, rich in minerals, appears to attract these phenomena, sparking shared interest among the scientists. Additionally, similar incidents were reported in mountainous regions of China with similar climatic conditions and landscapes to the Soviet Union, suggesting geographical patterns in the sightings.
