[net.space] Russians see angels

kerry@ctvax (01/09/86)

I recently read an article in one of those Sunday magazines entitled "The
Best and Worst of 1985". In this article, the best and worst news, events and
reports of 1985 were given.

The Best International News Story was reported to have been a very unusual
and strange sighting by some Soviet Cosmonauts. The article stated the
cosmonauts sighted what appeared to be angel-like beings with huge wings,
wearing white robes and smiling. The group of cosmonauts was reported to
contain several physicists and astrophysicists. The article went on to say
the cosmonauts were on their 155th day in space when the sighting occured.

The Sunday magazine this article appeared in, is in no way a "National Enquirer
type publication. Was this actually supposed to have happened? Did anyone in
"Netland" hear about this? Was the cosmonauts' breathing mixture a little bit
nitrogen-rich, or is 155 days in earth orbit too long?
