1. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the governor of Russia's Buddhist republic, Kalmykia, claims to have been abducted from his home in Moscow by aliens back in 1997. According to Ilyumzhinov, he heard calls from his balcony and was subsequently led by a group of aliens in yellow spacesuits on a tour of their spaceship. "I would probably have not believed this if there had not been three witnesses,” Ilyumzhinov said. “Those were my driver, a minister and my assistant." He added that the aliens communicated with him telepathically and that they were tasked to find “samples.” Officials plan on interrogating Ilyumzhinov for any state secrets he may have divulged to the aliens.
