 2    [Excerpts] [Shommer] If you look out of the window one fine morning and
 see a flying saucer, do not be surprised.  It would seem that it is not so
 difficult to get into it after all.  [video shows Shomoer sitting on what
 appears to be the hatch of large saucer-like structure] There is no need
 to establish contact with unearthly civilizations or to take precautions
 against unexpected contacts with aliens.  Unexpected things await us on
 earth. [video shows more shots of structure being worked on by technicians
 in what appears to be factory assembly shop] It is difficult to imagine
 that combining the wing and the fuselage and replacing the undercarriage
 with an air cushion could create a principally new aircraft which needs no
 airports.  It can land on both snowy tundra or on water, and can lift
 cargoes up to half its own weight, which is 80 times more than modern
 cargo planes.  This unique machine is called EitIP -- ecology and progress
 [ekologiya i progress] and it is being developed by the Saratov aviation
 factory.  Well, the meeting with a UFO did not take place after all, but
 nevertheless, today we will discuss unusual, mysterious, and sometimes
 inexplicable things. [passage on irregularities in distribution of
 privatization vouchers to residents of Saratov and on a certified shaman
