WITNESS TO ANGELS
Six Soviet cosmonauts said they witnessed the most awe-inspiring spectacle ever encountered in space — a band of glowing angels with wings as big as jumbo jets. According to “Weekly World News,” cosmonauts Vladimir Solovev, Oleg Atkov and Leonid Kizim said they first saw the celestial beings last July, during their 155th day aboard the orbiting “Salyat 7” space station. “What we saw,” they said, “were seven giant figures in the form of humans, but with wings and mist-like halos, as in the classic depiction of angels. Their faces were round with cherubic smiles.” Twelve days later the figures returned and were seen by three other Soviet scientists, including woman cosmonaut Svetlann Savitskaya. “They were smiling,” she said, “as though they shared in a glorious secret.” The editor of Parade magazine added this note: “Look at it from their viewpoint — at least they had proof of life in the hereafter.”
