Collecting mushrooms, Cornelius Udalov witnessed the landing of a spaceship While the aliens were running for want (apparently, nothing human and they are not alien), Cornelius climbed into the ship, tried on someone else's helmet and looked out of the hatch to look into our binoculars. He was received by the official delegation.. The misunderstanding, not immediately revealed, dragged on and smoothly passed into the celebration of the alleged foreign cosmonaut, with cognac and delicacies. Who will give up such pleasure? Written in 1974 The author imagined it as a movie and tried to write it in the form of a literary script, not yet knowing how to do it. Few people who read the story in those years said that this has nothing to do with fiction, t. k. is a satire on our luminous reality.
