2 [Excerpts] [Shommer] If you look out of the window one fine morning and
see a flying saucer, do not be surprised. It would seem that it is not so
difficult to get into it after all. [video shows Shomoer sitting on what
appears to be the hatch of large saucer-like structure] There is no need
to establish contact with unearthly civilizations or to take precautions
against unexpected contacts with aliens. Unexpected things await us on
earth. [video shows more shots of structure being worked on by technicians
in what appears to be factory assembly shop] It is difficult to imagine
that combining the wing and the fuselage and replacing the undercarriage
with an air cushion could create a principally new aircraft which needs no
airports. It can land on both snowy tundra or on water, and can lift
cargoes up to half its own weight, which is 80 times more than modern
cargo planes. This unique machine is called EitIP -- ecology and progress
[ekologiya i progress] and it is being developed by the Saratov aviation
factory. Well, the meeting with a UFO did not take place after all, but
nevertheless, today we will discuss unusual, mysterious, and sometimes
inexplicable things. [passage on irregularities in distribution of
privatization vouchers to residents of Saratov and on a certified shaman
omitted] (endall) 261945 r~120402.002. 04/i229z Feb BT #0738
