Even in ancient times the Chronicles of Greece, Egypt, the Roman Empire was informed about heavenly signs, when the sky was a strange still and moving pictures and even quite meaningful symbols, letters, numbers. It is known that one of the signs of the promised another military victory Julius Caesar, what happened later.

In the middle ages many engravings and paintings of the artists recorded for us some of such phenomena as, for example, "the sign of" on the Nuremberg on April 14, 1561.

Danish flag, known as the Dannebrog, probably one of the oldest national flags in the world. According to the legend, its history starts from the time when the Danish crusaders led by king Valdemar the Second place Winner fought against the pagans of Estonians. Fighting continued until, while Estonians are not called to arms for all their soldiers on the Day of St. Vita, June 15, 1219, the Danes were bewildered violent and unexpected attack, but suddenly, as the sign of God, come down from heaven giant blood-red flag with a white cross. The backing of the Danish soldiers caught flag and shouting "Forward to victory under the sign of the cross" won the battle. There is no definite evidence that Dannebrog came so early; his first image appeared in "Wapenboek Gelre" in the second half of the XIV century But maybe Dannebrog original (XII century) was used as an ensign in the Crusades. The most likely theory is that the Dannebrog was used as flags for territories on the borders of the Holy Roman Empire, most of which depicted a white cross on a red or red on white.

However, witnesses "heavenly messages" were and our contemporaries, people who lived and live in an enlightened XX century. One of them is the founder of modern cosmonautics Konstantin Tsiolkovsky:

"This is what happened to me may 31, 1928, night at eight. After reading or some other work I went out to cool off in the indoor balcony. He was directed to the North-West. In this way I was looking at the sunset. It was not gone, and it was quite light. The weather was poluorlova, and the sun was hidden behind the clouds. Almost at the horizon I saw, without any flaws, as if printed horizontally located next three letters: H And U. Clear that they are made out of the clouds and were at the distance of 20-30 miles (because close to the horizon). Meanwhile I watched them, they were changing their shape. I was very surprised that the correct letters, but what does it mean "CHOW"? In any known language me it don't make sense. In a minute I walked into the room to record the date and the word, how it was written by clouds. Immediately it occurred to me to receive letters for Latin. Then I read RAI". It already makes sense. The word was pretty awful, but what to do? Take what you give. Under cloud word was something like a plate or tombs (I don't pay attention).

I understood all of it this way: after death the end of all our pain, that is what I was proved in "the Monism of the Universe". Thus, speaking in a lofty style, the sky itself confirmed my assumptions. In fact, it is clouds. But what are the forces that have shaped it into the form that has a specific and suitable sense? For 70 years, I have never suffered from hallucinations, never drank wine and stimulants never accepted (even not smoke).

Projection lantern could not give these images in bright daylight, though at a great distance, these images were not visible and distorted... If anyone wanted to make fun of home, I'd write in Russian RAI"... When I returned to the balcony, the words were gone. My room on the second floor, and to call I don't have time, the more than it did in the beginning there was only a curiosity, as I read in Russian nonsense.

"CHOW" in English means beam and read ay". You may think, though strained that the end of life (death) gives light (ray) cognition".

This strange phenomenon, observed Tsiolkovsky, suddenly, half a century later, was documented. 2 December 1990 meteorologists Kazakhstan were recorded on phototelegraphy images of cloudiness, passed with the American meteorological satellite. To their astonishment, above the Caspian sea, in the tear of the clouds, shone giant letters. And the situation with their reading emerged at exactly the same as what is described Tsiolkovsky: letters had three, and when viewed from the side of the equator, then read Latin "JVL", from the side of the pole - Russian "voice".

Deciding that was someone's equipment or our or American, meteorologists contacted neighbors in Uzbekistan. Those confirmed that on their images, the same picture. But it turns out that nothing had sinned and American satellite pictures are obtained with the Soviet meteo "meteor-3", appeared the same picture! Only this time some reasonable interpretation of these three letters give failed. However, meteorologists remembered that the year before, October 15, 1989, in the sky above salescom (Rostov region) there was a whole set of characters and numbers that tried to decipher many researchers. 24 October 1990 at 21.15 on the farm Kakichev and nearby station Krasnodonetskaya appeared four light of the square of the flames inside. Squares as if projected rays in the sky and formed a black cross. Then next to the cross now numbers "2001", divided in the middle of a small burning circle and marks "?!". According to some observers, the dimensions of the labels exceed 100 meters! The glove, too, to ask the same question with an exclamation mark: what does that mean? By the way, over salescom in the sky, too, was observed squares and question marks.

In General, 1990 in this respect was unique. In different places of the then-existing Union in the sky there were signs, shapes, including human, mathematical symbols and numbers. As if some giant had used the sky and clouds as a slate Board. Well it would be somehow understandable, if these "heavenly signs" were timed to 1991, the year of the coup, while the previous year was in the history of our country is very turbulent.

Strange thing: if someone uses "heavenly screen" for their exercise, is well aware of letters and numbers, write exactly what you want or what it warns, not make meaningless puzzles! Not someone from ufologists called the "doomsday" 1990 "heavenly poltergeist".

Taking into account already brought a case subsequent phenomena in the time of their sequence display a marked tendency complications "picture". On the morning of April 3 above Krasnodar porcelain factory was established three rectangles, which are then transformed into three semi-circle, three points and three dotted line. In the morning July 9th Century Drilling of the village Davydova the Orekhovo-Zuyevo district of the Moscow region had seen in the sky unusual cloud turned into a kind of screen. On it right to left began to appear drawings: a house without a roof with three lit Windows, satchel school?), something like a skull, incomprehensible signs that resemble the characters, the torso of a man with a hat on his head. His eyes suddenly opened, and one of them threw to the ground bright rays of light. Then the rays are gone, eyes narrowed in the dash and gone, and then disappeared and the figure. The whole "session" lasted 8 minutes.

At 7.30 PM, June 20, the Governor E. chudina saw from the window of his apartment cloud of gray oval form, which is then divided in two. Formed in the doorway appeared sitting in a chair woman with a crown on his head and a long, Golden dress (!). Session" lasted 15 minutes. According to the newspaper "Soviet Moldova", even more impressive picture was observed in early October 1990, the bus passengers heading to the village of Ribica. Right in the cloudless sky appeared orange female figure out the size of Podnebesnaya! The impression was as if the woman freely leaned back in his chair. Clearly visible outlines of her profile, magnificent long hair, high Breasts. Her feet were covered with a drop cloth. This picture was observed in half an hour, then she disappeared, leaving in the sky yellow blurry spot.

You can, of course, to write off such phantasmagoria on inventions of journalists, but in the sky above the band of the German-Russian front in 1914 huge female figure watched thousands of German and Russian soldiers! Immediately went to the rumor that it was a vision of the virgin Mary, blessed soldiers of victory (the question is, what?). Well, our literature, when it came about this way, "explained the": "virgin Mary" appeared with powerful projection lantern!

Amazingly, this explanation "heavenly movie" was given in the book Century Fulica devoted to atmospheric conditions and released in... 1640. So far this book strikes a truly scientific approach to the issue and deep criticism superstitious views:

"All these visions can be caused by two ways: natural and artificial. Artificially they are invoked with certain mirrors and tools made by the secret laws of science, which is called CATOPTRICA (the science of mirrors and light reflection). However, as a rule, these phenomena occur naturally, when the air due to its nature, suddenly begins to reflect everything that is happening on Earth".

To the above 350 years ago, now it is difficult to add anything.
