Russian Navigation and UFO Institute

Summary

In St. Petersburg, a hidden military institute studied UFOs for decades. This center, known as NINGI-MO-RF, developed essential navigation and satellite systems for the Russian navy. Its work included compiling data on unidentified aerial phenomena, building a vast scientific archive. However, the post-Soviet transition forced the institute to emerge from secrecy. The need for funding and civil collaboration led it to host conferences and share technological advances with the civilian sector. Despite challenges, its intellectual potential remains a key resource for future federal navigation projects.
