"Could it be that UFOs are attracted to the areas of most dangerous pollution: Chernobyl, Monchegorsk, and nuclear power plants? Or do such facilities produce phenomena that become labeled as UFOs?"

They end this section of anomalous zones by stating that the former USSR has more anomalous zones than any other country in the world. However: "It is quite probably that modern day experiments have caused ecological disasters in such areas but this excuse cannot of course be used for all such anomalous episodes reported down the centuries. It is quite clear that in such zones we not only have reports of UFO's, but of reports of missing time, phantom people and places, and even reports of creatures thought to be long extinct."

If there have been American/Western researchers writing about ecological disasters as a possible source or cause of UFO phenomena, I am not aware of it. It is my opinion that this book opens discussions of the phenomena in new directions. This opinion is reinforced by the same suggestion made by the authors throughout their book. It is their reason for writing Mysterious Sky. To encourage the reader to pursue further research into some of the really intriguing cases they put forward. Especially, towards eliminating the role of Soviet secret research facilities, secret towns and secret military bases play in the phenomena. Thereby, shining a light on possible extraterrestrial source of the phenomena.
