UFO and Thermal Plane in Ulyanovsk

Summary

In January 1992, Russian President Boris Yeltsin visited an aircraft factory in Ulyanovsk, where a prototype of an unusual flying machine was mentioned: a thermal plane with a "flying saucer" design. This craft, developed in collaboration with the Moscow Aviation Institute, sparked interest for its potential use in various economic sectors and remote areas. Yeltsin showed attention to technological innovations and working conditions.

The unclassified document highlights the novelty of the thermal plane, whose applications seemed promising. The visit lasted an hour and a half, focusing on management and technological development. Although the term "UFO" is not explicitly used, the description suggests an interest in advanced technologies, a common theme in declassified documents related to unidentified aerial phenomena.
