Viktor Stepanovich Grebennikov (Russian: ?????? ?????????? ???????????; 23 April 1927 in Simferopol – 2001 in Novosibirsk) was a self-proclaimed Russian scientist, naturalist, entomologist and paranormal researcher best known for his claim to have invented a levitation platform which operated by attaching dead insect body parts to the underside.
Grebennikov wrote detailed accounts of his experiences flying over the Russian countryside using his levitation device.
These flying experiences as well as his reported observations of other paranormal phenomena, usually involving insect nests or parts, appear in his self-published book My World (Moi Mir.
