A Russian MP has asked President Dmitry Medvedev to investigate claims by a regional president that he has met aliens on board a spaceship.
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the leader of the southern region of Kalmykia, made his claim in a television interview.
MP Andre Lebedev is not just asking whether Mr Ilyumzhinov is fit to govern.
He is also concerned that, if he was abducted, he may have revealed details about his job and state secrets.
The MP has written a letter to Mr Medvedev raising a list of his concerns.
In his letter he says that - assuming the whole thing was not just a bad joke - it was an historic event and should have been reported to the Kremlin.
He also asks if there are official guidelines for what government officials should do if contacted by aliens, especially if those officials have access to state secrets.
Mr Ilyumzhinov said in an interview on primetime television that he had been taken on board an alien spaceship which had come to planet Earth to take samples - and claims to have several witnesses.
He has been president of Kalmykia, a small Buddhist region of Russia which lies on the shores of the Caspian Sea, for 17 years.
The millionaire former businessman has a reputation as an eccentric character.
As president of the World Chess Federation, he has spent tens of millions of dollars turning the impoverished republic into a mecca for chess players - building an entire village to host international tournaments.

Listen to the interview Ilyumzhinov given to them in the program by Vladimir Pozner, in which the head of Kalmykia, tells how the 18 September 1997 held a commemorative meeting with aliens, Lebedev worried. He decided that Ilyumzhinov was hiding something and actually passed the humanoid "classified information" and not just for walking on their ship, as he claims.

In this regard, the deputy thought that only the country's president Ilyumzhinov tell you all about that landmark meeting, Medvedev and asked to speak to the perpetrator of discussions in person and then tell them to call the State Duma deputies.
In addition, Lebedev decided to ask the president: what if someone from the Russian government, regional leaders and other officials also communicated with aliens, and the public about this still does not know anything.
From the appeal to the president of the MP Lebedeva of Russia:
"Dmitry, I ask you to help me understand this question, because you Ilyumzhinov could not fail to respond to additional questions such as:
- How to communicate with humanoids affected the performance of his duties?
- Was not asked whether the representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations with Mr. Ilyumzhinov about some nuances of his career (and if asked, what "evidence" he gave)?
Also, please indicate whether the reported head of the Republic of Kalmykia in the Presidential Administration of his contacts with representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations. Is there a time limit to inform about such contacts senior officials of the country for individuals who are carriers of the classified information to include koim Ilyumzhinov?
- Who else from the leaders of the RF subjects, members of the government and other public officials communicate with aliens?
Dmitry agree that if Ilyumzhinov not being clever, its information is historically important. If you find it possible, then I ask you to inform the State Duma of your withdrawal.
Recall that the details of his meeting with extraterrestrials Ilyumzhinov told visiting Vladimir Pozner in its transmission. He clarified that treat this may be different, but "I believe it is, I communicate with them, I saw. In addition, he has a witness: "I probably would not have believed in it, if there were three witnesses: my driver, the Minister, my assistant."

At the end of April this year, shortly before the airing of a frank interview with Ilyumzhinov, Deputy Chairman of the Commission on abnormal phenomena of the Russian Geographic Society (RGO) Eugene Litvinov gave a sensational interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets, where the said quote: "Who can prove that aliens do not happens, and I reckon that they have long been among us, and if all believe it, life on Earth would be much better! " He said that in the files WGI already accumulated "more than 20,000 certificates of direct or indirect impact on our lives of strangers."
Tell about his meetings with aliens loves also the head of the LDPR faction in the parliament Petersburg Elena Babich. Writes "Fontanka.ru, being a second year student, a young Babic held practice in Astrakhan - picking tomatoes. One evening after a shower behind the barracks 18-year-old girl had a vision: a huge silver ball, floating in the sky, followed by iridescent pearl plume.
This spectacle Babich, from her expression, "off", she woke up several hours later at the same place: the soul of the barracks. However, unlike Ilyumzhinov, witnesses she could not find: "I am sorry if I was alone and nobody was able to confirm the emergence of newcomers. The other guys told me they did not see anything."
