Tashkent, Uzbek being encounter — October 19, 1972

The imported catalogue associates an October 19, 1972, story with the Tashkent region of Soviet Uzbekistan and a lake rendered Ryzl or Razl in later versions. It refers to an alleged unusual body and underwater tracks interpreted as signs of a saucer. French retellings identify a boy, Igor Volovitch, who reportedly saw a wingless metallic object descend above reeds and gray forms leave it. Other purported witnesses described an unstable object and humanlike shapes falling from it. The story then shifts to a claimed body discovery and underwater grooves, with no recovered craft. Its publication trail runs through books and a 1979 magazine article, rather than accessible original recovery records; 1979 is a publication date, not the encounter year. The available material does not authenticate the alleged remains or an examination. The plate selects the boy's claimed shore observation, explicitly labeled Unverified Story. Its gray silhouettes and craft are illustrative interpretations of that retelling, without adding corpse imagery or treating a crash recovery as established.
