Interview: UFO Aktuellt in conversation with AURA-Z

This section features an interview with Klas Svan, director of the All-Swedish Organization for the Study of Anomalous Atmospheric Phenomena "UFO Sweden," and Stefan Ruslund, journalists from the Swedish magazine "UFO Aktuellt." The interview was conducted by Alexander Avshalumov, editor of AURA-Z.

Klas Svan discusses his 30+ years of involvement in ufology, the structure of UFO Sweden (an umbrella organization with 17 groups and 2000 members), and its activities in collecting information and witness accounts. He notes that UFO Sweden receives about 250-300 UFO reports annually, with about 10% being genuine UFO sightings.

He describes "UFO Aktuellt" as a quarterly magazine with a circulation of 2000 copies, focusing on UFOs but also covering related paranormal topics objectively. Svan emphasizes their scientific approach, seeking to understand phenomena without pre-judgments.

Regarding the development of ufology, Svan expresses concern about a trend towards less scientific approaches globally, contrasting it with the more rigorous research methods employed by UFO Sweden. He mentions a joint project in Hasdalen, Norway (1984-85), involving military cooperation and scientific labs to study hundreds of sightings in a valley. This research involved radar, photography, and temperature measurements, with approximately 250 photographs taken. He notes that similar research methods are now being applied in Russia to study ball lightning.

When asked about specific methods, Svan mentions the construction of an automated observation station in Hasdalen equipped with cameras, radar, and electromagnetic instruments. He also asks about well-known Swedish ufologists, naming Anders Shrindigrem and Hokem Blumfist, who studied these phenomena in the 1960s. He also mentions Boris Junvist and Sune Juk, the latter described as a religious fanatic who believes in divine intervention.

Svan expresses a desire to learn more about Russian ufological research, stating that he is in Russia precisely for this purpose. He hopes for a more truthful and open exchange of information between their countries, finding "AURA-2" to be a more serious magazine than others they had read.

He lists significant international ufology publications: "International Reports" and "UFO Journal" in the USA, "Just Cause" in the UK (though less known), "UFO Bulletin" in Australia, and "BUFFA" in the UK, which is undergoing changes. He expresses a lack of confidence in the English magazine "Flying Saucer Review," deeming most of its content fantastical.

He praises the Danish magazine "UFONIT" as a good example for them and notes that Danish ufologists are aware of their work.

Svan confirms the existence of UFO-related programs on Swedish radio and TV, including a ten-part series in autumn 1992 on paranormal phenomena, with one episode dedicated to UFOs.

Article: "Time to Create!" by Yuri Koynash

This section features an interview with Yuri Koynash, who discusses his work on "hotline" calls for his magazine, receiving up to twenty calls daily and sometimes hundreds. He is writing a book about rocket-shaped flying objects, approximately three meters long, often seen in Scandinavia but rarely reported in Russia.

Koynash distinguishes between "rocket-shaped" objects that fly vertically and "cigar-shaped" objects that fly horizontally. He expresses interest in receiving any reports of these objects from Russia.

The article then delves into the characteristics of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), particularly their high speeds and instantaneous changes in trajectory. It presents the account of a driver who witnessed a UFO and introduces engineer-researcher Yuri Alekseevich Koynash, who offers a technical explanation for these phenomena. Koynash proposes dividing the field into two categories: NLA (Non-traditional Aerial Apparatus) for engineered craft and AA (Atmospheric Anomalies) for natural phenomena. He suggests that engineers and physicists should study NLAs, while meteorologists should focus on AAs.

The article begins to describe some types of non-traditional aerial apparatus and their construction.

Article: "Hours for Memory" (Excerpt)

This excerpt, adapted from an article by E. Chernikov published in the journal "Noosphere" (N1, 1991), recounts a sighting on November 2, 1989. Two drivers, Oleg K. and Nikolai B., in a KAMAZ truck traveling to Moscow from Arkhangelsk, encountered a large, massive object on an unpaved road near the station of Emtsa. The object was described as having a metallic sheen and caused the truck's engine to stall. The headlights, powered by the battery, continued to function.

Oleg approached the object, describing an increasing resistance from the surrounding air as he moved closer. He estimated the object to be a large disc, about 35-40 meters in diameter, with a spherical dome on top. He observed dark openings around the perimeter, which he initially mistook for windows. The object did not resemble any known terrestrial aircraft.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of advanced technology, unexplained phenomena, and scientific inquiry. There is a clear emphasis on objective reporting and a scientific approach to ufology, as highlighted in the interview with Klas Svan. The publication also seems interested in historical and cultural aspects, as suggested by the inclusion of frescoes and articles on ancient topics. The editorial stance appears to be open to new ideas and research, encouraging the exchange of information across borders, while maintaining a critical and analytical perspective on claims of the paranormal.

This issue of "Anomaliya" (Аномалия) magazine, dated 1993, focuses on the UFO phenomenon, presenting a blend of witness accounts, engineering analysis, and investigative journalism. The cover features a detailed illustration of a disc-shaped UFO, hinting at the technical and mysterious nature of the content within.

Oleg's Encounter in the Taiga

The magazine begins with a detailed account from a witness named Oleg, who describes an encounter with a dark, silent disc-shaped object in the remote Russian taiga. The object, estimated to be over 300 meters in diameter, appeared to be dark and uninhabited. Oleg's curiosity led him to approach the object, which then displayed a red, shimmering square on its surface with a message requesting open fire. After Oleg built a bonfire, a dark mass emerged from the object, took the matches, and retreated. Oleg then observed the object more closely, noting round openings with internal grids and a unique landing gear mechanism. He also touched a smooth, cold metal rod extending from the craft.

Inside the craft, Oleg followed a corridor to a large, domed hall illuminated by a soft blue light. He observed a console with numerous switches and lights, and a long sofa. He noted that answers to his unspoken questions appeared on a screen before he could fully formulate them, sometimes accompanied by demonstrations of the devices in question.

Engineering Analysis of UFOs by Yuri Koinash

Researcher Yuri Koinash, an engineer-mechanic, presents an engineering perspective on Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), which he refers to as Non-Traditional Flying Apparatus (NFA). Koinash suggests that UFOs utilize known electromagnetic principles and are likely powered by advanced versions of terrestrial technology, such as asynchronous electric motors (AЭД). He hypothesizes that the propulsion system involves a rotating ring or dome, possibly creating a magnetic cushion for lift and maneuverability. Koinash details potential designs for disc-shaped UFOs, including mechanisms for power generation (possibly atomic reactors), energy recuperation, and control systems. He discusses the challenges of operating in a vacuum, such as cold welding, and suggests solutions involving specialized lubricants containing elements like boron, silicon, calcium, and magnesium. The article includes diagrams illustrating the proposed internal structure and components of medium-sized (30-40m) and small (3-10m) UFOs, emphasizing that these are engineering representations based on available data and observations.

The Hanoi Incident: A Critical Investigation

Anatoly Dokuchaev, a journalist, investigates the controversial incident in Hanoi during the late 1960s, where a large UFO was reportedly engaged by Soviet air defense forces. The account, attributed to a former Soviet officer named Mark Steinberg, claims that a UFO over 300 meters in diameter appeared over a Soviet air defense division in Vietnam. When the object did not respond to identification signals, three missile batteries opened fire, but the missiles reportedly exploded prematurely. The UFO then allegedly destroyed the three batteries with a blue beam, killing most of the personnel. Dokuchaev critically examines Steinberg's account, questioning its accuracy by cross-referencing it with military records and historical context. He points out discrepancies regarding the presence of specific missile systems (like the "Kub") in Vietnam during that period and challenges the claim that Marshal Zakharov's work mentioned such an event or a directive prohibiting engagement with UFOs. Dokuchaev suggests that Steinberg's information might be unreliable or misinterpreted, and the widely circulated story of the Hanoi battle may be exaggerated or fabricated.

Other Contributions

The issue also includes a brief mention of Akop Tonakanyan, an engineer-geologist who has conducted research on paleocontacts in Armenia. The magazine concludes with a note indicating that the discussion on UFO schematics will continue in the next issue.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine "Anomaliya" appears to adopt a stance of critical inquiry into UFO phenomena. It presents witness testimonies and speculative engineering analyses alongside investigative journalism that scrutinizes sensational claims. The editorial approach seems to be to explore the possibility of advanced extraterrestrial technology and encounters while maintaining a degree of skepticism and demanding verifiable evidence. The recurring themes include the technological sophistication of UFOs, their potential origins, and the implications of their presence for humanity, particularly in the context of military and scientific understanding. The magazine encourages readers to consider the reality of these phenomena while also being discerning about the information presented.

This issue of AURA-Z magazine, identified as issue N5/92, features a significant article on ancient petroglyphs found in Armenia. The content suggests a connection between these ancient images and the concept of 'paleovisiits' or ancient encounters with advanced technology.

Armenian Petroglyphs and Paleovisiits

The primary article begins by detailing how the study of rock carvings in Armenia led to investigations into folklore and medieval miniatures. The researcher Tonakanyan, whose work is highlighted, posits that if UFO observations are accurate, they should be reflected in various forms of folk art. His research has led him to believe that Armenian national culture contains visible traces of 'paleovisiits'.

The magazine then focuses on the petroglyphs themselves, noting their distribution across Armenia, particularly in large groups or bands. Specific locations mentioned include Syunik (Zangezur Range), the Gegam and Vardenis Ranges, and Mount Aragats. These images are predominantly found at altitudes between 2500 and 3500 meters.

The early collection of these petroglyphs is attributed to archaeologist A. Kalantar in the 1920s. However, systematic study only began in the early 1960s. Geologist A. Demekhin and architect S. Petrosyan played significant roles in their collection and study. Archaeologists S. Sardaryan and A. Martirosyan also contributed significantly to the understanding of the Gegam Range petroglyphs. Martirosyan's work, particularly his 1971 book "Science Begins in Antiquity," and his 1979 work "Petroglyphs of the Gegam Highlands" (a continuation of a book by G. Karakhanian and P. Safyan on the petroglyphs of Syunik), are cited.

The article emphasizes the high artistic skill of the ancient artists. It argues that seemingly 'incomprehensible' details in the drawings are not due to the artists' lack of skill but represent elements that were themselves mysterious to the ancient people. Objects with a closed, arcuate contour, especially those with additional attachments, are interpreted not as animals like goats, but as 'constructions or apparatuses' (Figure 3).

Further analysis of the petroglyphs reveals depictions that could be interpreted as dwarf or giant human figures, or other anthropomorphic forms (Figure 4). The article suggests that it is illogical to depict an object and its symbol in the same drawing. However, many drawings feature an object with an arcuate top accompanied by a goat (Figure 5). This is explained by the ancient belief that the ibex (wild goat) symbolized celestial elements such as thunder, lightning, and fire, thus connecting the object to the cosmos and celestial phenomena.

Some drawings depict human figures connected by a rope or hose to a streamlined 'object,' which is interpreted as an autonomous apparatus, possibly a spacecraft (Figure 6). These objects are sometimes shown with 'eyes' or observation windows (Figure 7).

The artistic expressiveness of the petroglyphs is noted, with some objects depicted in both vertical and horizontal orientations, sometimes accompanied by a wheel, suggesting mobility in various directions (Figure 8). The artists masterfully conveyed the psychological state of animals (anxiety, surprise, aggression) to emphasize the unusual nature of the situation or object.

Figures 9 and 10 are presented as examples where the unusual nature of an object (termed a 'construction' or 'apparatus') is highlighted. In one, the object is central, surrounded by animals looking with surprise. In another, animals flee from the approaching object, illustrating its perceived threat.

Figure 11 is described as a unique and expressive depiction of flight. It shows animals in a semicircle, ready to jump, with a human figure in front of them. This figure has an arcuate upper contour and is accompanied by an anthropomorphic figure with outstretched arms, one hand resembling a wing, and another a partial detail. The scene is interpreted as conveying the idea of an unusual object and a person capable of flight. The connection to the cosmos is further supported by the depiction of constellations, the Moon, and the Sun alongside these figures (Figures 12, 13, 14). Figure 12, in particular, shows a Sun symbol, a crescent moon, and the 'construction,' with figures of people flying among clouds and the moon.

Figures in the lower left of Figure 12, under the Sun symbol, resemble a person in a spacesuit. Figures 13 and 14 also show the 'object' and the ibex alongside a spiral (symbolizing the cosmos) and powerful anthropomorphic figures.

Figure 15 depicts a human figure flying above a Sun symbol, with wavy lines below representing celestial fire. Often, these 'constructions' are depicted alongside large anthropomorphic and human figures, with smaller figures nearby, possibly to convey a sense of scale or unusualness (Figure 16). The figures often hold objects resembling modern antennas (Figure 17).

Some petroglyphs feature figures resembling people in spacesuits (Figure 18). The wavy lines accompanying these figures are often interpreted as symbols of celestial fire, though some researchers suggest they represent snakes. The article advocates for interpreting these symbols within the context of the entire scene and associated figures.

Figure 19 shows a drawing with a rocket-like figure, a flying human, an ibex, and a powerful anthropomorphic figure. The article reiterates the interpretation of wavy lines and suggests considering them in conjunction with other elements.

As further evidence of unusual aerial apparatuses, the article mentions 17th-century frescoes in the Svetitskhoveli Church in Mtskheta, Georgia. These frescoes depict Christ on the cross, with fortresses and towers in the background. Above, among the clouds, two flying apparatuses are depicted, with faces looking out from within. The similarity of these depicted apparatuses to figures found on Armenian rocks from the second millennium BC (Figure 20) is highlighted, emphasizing the vast time span separating them.

Bioenergetics and Genetic Information

The second major section of the magazine introduces Doctor Jian Kanzhen, a scientist whose work on bioenergetics is gaining recognition. His biography notes his difficult past, including imprisonment during China's 'cultural revolution' and his eventual emigration to the USSR.

Doctor Jian's hypothesis is that the material carrier of genetic information is not solely DNA, but rather the bioelectromagnetic field. He proposes that DNA acts as a 'cassette' for recording information, while the bioelectromagnetic signals are the active, transmitting medium. Thus, he views the genetic material as existing in two forms: passive (DNA) and active (bioelectromagnetic field).

He suggests that bioelectromagnetic signals, which transmit both energy and information, are like photons. The corpuscular properties of photons relate to low frequencies, allowing for a greater amount of information to be transmitted with limited energy. The wave properties, however, necessitate the study of high frequencies to ensure a broad bandwidth and high-quality information transfer.

The article describes the "Bio-SVCh-connection" (Bio-UHF-connection) installation, designed to 'read' DNA information from one living object and transmit it to another. This implies that the bioelectromagnetic field exists in the microwave and infrared ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Experiments conducted using this installation have yielded positive results in transferring genetic information via a field. These experiments were conducted in several areas:

1. Agriculture: The bioelectromagnetic field of wheat (donor) was applied to germinating corn seeds (recipient). The resulting corn plants exhibited unusual side shoots and ears resembling both corn and wheat. The yield increased by 200% in grain weight and 300% in mass, with these changes being passed to subsequent generations.
2. Agriculture: The bioelectromagnetic field of melon (donor) was applied to germinating cucumber seeds (recipient). The cucumbers developed a melon-like taste, and biochemical analysis revealed changes in their DNA, which were passed to subsequent generations.
3. Agriculture: The bioelectromagnetic field of a peanut plant (donor) was applied to sunflower sprouts (recipient). The sunflower seeds changed shape, and some acquired the taste characteristics of peanuts, with these changes being partially transferred.

Editorial Notes and Corrections

An editorial note at the beginning of the magazine corrects an error in a previous issue regarding the article "Fifth Siegelevskie." The material was previously published by A.S. Kartashkin in the scientific-information bulletin "Anomalija" (N5/92), and the editor apologizes for the oversight.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes the potential for ancient artifacts, specifically petroglyphs, to hold clues about advanced ancient civilizations and technologies, possibly extraterrestrial in origin. The concept of 'paleovisiits' is central to this interpretation. The magazine also explores cutting-edge, unconventional scientific theories, such as Doctor Jian's work on bioenergetics and the role of bioelectromagnetic fields in genetics, presenting these as potentially revolutionary discoveries that challenge established scientific paradigms. The editorial stance appears to be open to exploring anomalous phenomena and alternative explanations for historical and biological mysteries.

This issue of "СИНА ПОАТЕР" (likely a publication related to scientific research and parapsychology) delves into groundbreaking experiments and theories concerning bioelectromagnetism, rejuvenation, and parapsychological phenomena. The content spans animal studies, human health applications, and investigations into unexplained events.

Bioelectromagnetic Field Experiments

The issue presents several experiments detailing the effects of bioelectromagnetic fields on biological organisms. One study describes the impact of a duck's bioelectromagnetic field on chicken eggs, resulting in mutated chicks with characteristics like webbed feet, duck-like heads, long necks, and unusual eye placement. These acquired changes were observed to be passed down to subsequent generations. Another experiment involved exposing a pregnant rabbit to the bioelectromagnetic field of a goat with large curved horns, leading to offspring with significantly enlarged, curved teeth.

Human Rejuvenation and Health Applications

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the concept of organism rejuvenation through bioelectromagnetic fields. The author, a physician, recounts personal experiments conducted in 1987 that yielded positive results, supported by objective and subjective evidence. His 80-year-old father also underwent this rejuvenation method, reportedly experiencing the disappearance of chronic ailments, hair regrowth (with gray hair turning black), and the emergence of a new tooth. These findings led to a patent in 1991 for a method of rejuvenation using microwave (СВЧ) therapy.

The theoretical basis for rejuvenation suggests that aging is caused by various factors that disrupt gene structures, and that bioelectromagnetic radiation from younger organisms can activate dormant genes in older ones, initiating protective and restorative processes within the immune system. The publication details a study involving 14 volunteers who underwent a course of СВЧ therapy, reporting improvements in various conditions such as atherosclerosis, stenocardia, post-stroke recovery, gastrointestinal issues, and even the complete remission of a benign tumor in 6 cases. The results also indicated improvements in general well-being, appearance (perceived rejuvenation of 5-10 years), disappearance of gray hair, and enhanced sexual function.

Research on Cancer and Immune System

Special attention is given to the problem of treating cancer, AIDS, and immune suppression following organ transplants. Early experiments involved transmitting bio-genetic information from rabbits with induced cancer cells to mice, with some positive outcomes. Further research focused on the immunological aspects of rejuvenation. Studies on the effects of bioelectromagnetic radiation on immune parameters like phagocytic activity, T-lymphocytes, immunoglobulins, and leukocytes are presented. The findings suggest that this radiation can regulate and stimulate the immune system, normalizing or improving the function of macrophages and T-lymphocytes, and potentially activating self-regulation mechanisms for immune homeostasis.

Parapsychology and Poltergeist Phenomena

The issue also explores the realm of parapsychology, featuring the work of Nikolai Troyan, a researcher in hypnosis and parapsychology. Troyan's research encompassed areas like diabetes, oncology, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. He organized a school for healers and conducted experiments in clairvoyance and telekinesis. His "informational theory" of paranormal phenomena is highlighted. A significant focus is placed on poltergeist phenomena, particularly the fiery variant, which Troyan claimed to have proven has a terrestrial origin, caused by humans. His methods for identifying and managing poltergeist initiators are discussed, including a case study of a 10-year-old boy who was trained to consciously control his abilities, even demonstrating them on television.

Scientific Endorsements and Future Directions

Several notable figures provide endorsements and commentary on the research presented. Grigory Kazmin, director of the Far Eastern Research Institute of Agriculture, vouches for the work of Dr. Цзян Каньчжэна on bio-SВЧ connection, citing experiments with wheat and corn that showed increased yields and improved plant vitality, with effects passed to subsequent generations. He recommends establishing a specialized laboratory for further study.

Yuri Simakov, from the International Academy of Information, acknowledges Dr. Цзян's work on transmitting biological information and suggests that if his methods are confirmed, they could revolutionize genetic information transfer.

Alexander Avshalumov, director of the research center "AURA-Z," while acknowledging the potential of Цзян's technology, raises ethical concerns about the "negative" and "positive" experiments, particularly those involving interspecies genetic information transfer, warning of unpredictable and potentially dangerous consequences.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the transformative power of bioelectromagnetic fields, the potential for human rejuvenation and healing, and the exploration of paranormal phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these unconventional scientific and pseudoscientific areas, presenting experimental results and theoretical frameworks while also acknowledging the need for ethical considerations and further rigorous investigation.

This issue of "Человек-Растение" (Human-Plant) explores a range of paranormal and esoteric topics, including telekinesis, poltergeist phenomena, human-plant energy interactions, and the search for cryptids like the "snow man" (Mank).

Telekinesis and Poltergeist Phenomena

The issue begins with accounts of seemingly supernatural events, starting with a boy who exhibited telekinetic abilities. His schoolbag, books, and clothing vanished and reappeared, and his German textbook and dictionary spontaneously moved to the bathroom and caught fire, only to be restored to their original state later. The author posits that these phenomena are not supernatural but rather manifestations of human consciousness and thought, suggesting that with focused mental effort, individuals can influence physical reality. The text discusses the philosophical divide between materialism and idealism, arguing for a balanced view that acknowledges both physical and ideal realms as co-dependent and essential for understanding reality.

Human-Plant Energy Interaction

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the concept of "biolocation" and the energy exchange between humans and plants. Yevsey Meilitser, an expert in biolocation, is introduced as the author of a method for determining types of energy-information interaction between humans and plants. He explains that plants can have a "sucking" (depressing) or "feeding" (stimulating) effect on human energy. Studies have identified specific trees in European Russia with these properties, such as oak and birch being "feeding" and poplar and aspen being "sucking." The article details how contact with these plants can affect people's health, mood, and energy levels. For instance, prolonged contact with "sucking" trees can lead to fatigue, while "feeding" trees can improve well-being. The research also suggests that even objects made from these plants retain some of their energetic properties. The issue highlights that this knowledge has been recognized in folk traditions, citing examples like the use of aspen for its preservative qualities or its association with warding off negative influences.

The "Snow Man" (Mank) Expedition

The magazine then shifts focus to the search for the "Mank," or "snow man," a cryptid believed to inhabit the Ural Mountains region. Alexander Novikov recounts an expedition undertaken in 1990 to the area of "Sofiyiny Gory" (Sofiyiny Mountains), following local legends and eyewitness accounts. The expedition involved a group from Gatchina led by Yuri Shcheglov. Novikov describes the challenging terrain and the local folklore surrounding the "Mank." He shares stories from local residents, including an elder named Ivan Yarkin and a hunter named Gerassim, who reported encounters with the creature. These accounts describe the "Mank" as a hairy, imposing figure with unusual eyes. The article also touches upon the spiritual beliefs of the local Khanty and Mansi people, who consider certain areas, like "Sofiyiny Gory," to be sacred and avoid them due to encounters with "forest people" or "Manks." One particularly chilling account involves a young girl who was reportedly abducted by a "forest woman" and later found by fishermen.

The "Biolocator Harmonizer"

Finally, the issue introduces a practical application of bioenergetic principles: the "Biolocator Harmonizer." Developed by scientists at the "RINO" research center, this device is described as a compact, portable tool made from wood that can be used at home to correct a person's bioenergetic field. It is presented as a natural and effective way to improve health and well-being without the need for medication, acting as a "biolocator" that harmonizes the body's energy.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of the unknown, the intersection of science and the paranormal, and the belief in natural or consciousness-driven phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be open to investigating and validating claims that challenge conventional scientific paradigms, particularly in areas like telekinesis, energy healing, and the existence of cryptids. There is a strong emphasis on the power of human consciousness and the potential for natural, non-materialistic explanations for phenomena that are not yet fully understood by mainstream science. The magazine promotes a holistic view of reality, integrating physical, energetic, and informational aspects.

This issue of AURA-Z magazine, dated August 1993, delves into a variety of topics ranging from alleged paranormal phenomena to cutting-edge medical research and traditional healing practices. The cover features a photograph of religious artifacts with the headline "Religious Attributes." The magazine appears to be published in Russia and is in Russian.

Encounters with the Unknown: The 'Menkw' Sighting

The issue begins with an account of encounters with unknown beings, including a personal recollection from Vera Ustinova, a scientific associate at the Berezovsky Local Lore Museum. She recounts an incident from the winter of 1968 near Antipatyuta, Yamal, where she and a group of cultural workers encountered large, unusual footprints in the snow. The local Nenets people were agitated, claiming a 'big man with red eyes' had passed by, whom they called 'menkw.' The urgency of their reaction, including the immediate slaughter of a deer for protection, suggests a deep-seated fear, possibly linked to the dangers of a 'shatun-menkw' (a winter-wandering creature), analogous to a winter bear.

Further contributing to this narrative, Yura Shcheglov writes about finding similar strange tracks near the Kempazh river. He describes a chain of footprints approximately 40 centimeters long, with a stride of about a meter, found on a mossy plain. The tracks were almost in a straight line, with the foot displacement only slightly off the central axis, and the size of the foot was estimated to be around 12 cm wide at the heel and 8 cm at the narrowest point.

Congress on Folk Medicine in Moscow

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the 1st International Congress "Folk Medicine: Russia – Past, Present, Future," held in Moscow in August 1993. Organized by the Academy of Energy-Informational Sciences and the All-Russian Center for Traditional Folk Medicine "Ennom," the congress aimed to foster the official recognition of folk medicine. Professor Yakov Galperin, chairman of the organizing committee, emphasized the shared goal with official healthcare of preserving national health. The congress program included discussions on legal aspects, the place of folk medicine in public health, and licensing procedures for healers. It brought together healers from across Russia and former Soviet republics, as well as leading scientists from Germany, the USA, and Great Britain. Over three hundred reports were presented across various sections.

Notable attendees and speakers included E.K. Naumov, president of the Association "World Parapsychology, New Ethics of Consciousness, Culture and Art of Healing"; Professor Seykei from Tokyo University; Professor Keijiro Kubota from the Japanese Institute of Parapsychology; and A. Avshalumov, scientific editor of AURA-Z. Folk healer Tahir Khakimov from Kyrgyzstan was also present.

The 'Hydrosoleinoid' Device and Its Applications

The magazine highlights the work of Russian scientists, including a report by Professor G.A. Sergeev on the "hydrosoleinoid," a device for weak-energy individual physiotherapy. Developed by G.A. Sergeev and Yu.V. Vorontsova, the hydrosoleinoid is described as a device that stabilizes biochemical processes in the human body by acting as an electromagnetic screen. It is designed to protect living cells from radiation, electromagnetic field fluctuations, and other external influences. The device is said to aid in the regeneration of blood cells and activate cellular structures involved in maintaining the body's vitality. It is also noted for its potential in treating conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and various psychological disorders.

Initially, the concept was explored by Academician P.A. Petrov-Maslakov for addressing postpartum trauma and improving fetal development, but his untimely death halted further research. However, subsequent studies conducted in Moscow, including at the Solovyov Clinic of Neurology and the 33rd Hospital, confirmed the hydrosoleinoid's promise. The device works by creating a micro-magnetic field that weakens the impact of unfavorable ecological factors and promotes the "bioelectric charging" of cells. It stabilizes paramagnetic reactions in cell biopolymers, improving blood circulation and cellular fluid dynamics. The hydrosoleinoid can be used for conditions like bronchial asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular issues, and stress-related disorders. The procedure involves drinking water that has passed through the device, with sessions lasting 15-20 minutes, and a course typically consisting of 6-8 treatments. The device is recommended for use in hospitals, health resorts, and particularly in regions with poor environmental conditions.

Another prominent section features an interview with Professor Sergey Dzhasokhov, a doctor of medical sciences, conducted by Mikhail Karlov, a scientific reviewer for AURA-Z. Professor Dzhasokhov's work is described as a "new direction in surgery," focusing on restoring the normal structure and function of the body's tissues by surgically targeting lymphatic and blood vessels. His methods have been applied to patients with severe conditions, including malignant tumors, diabetes, tuberculosis, peritonitis, peptic ulcers, and congenital defects of the thymus gland.

Professor Dzhasokhov explains that the body possesses a defense system against foreign structures like microbes, viruses, and transplanted cells. A deficiency in the thymus gland, which is crucial for immunity, can lead to a shortened lifespan and an increased risk of malignant tumors. His approach involves surgical immunocorrection, specifically the transplantation of the thymus gland. He cites the pioneering work of Professor Yuri Morozov, who in 1964 performed the first such operation on a child with a congenital thymus deficiency, resulting in a positive outcome. Dzhasokhov has since operated on 80 patients with various conditions using his developed methods, noting a positive clinical and immunological effect in most cases.

Regarding the issue of transplant rejection, Dzhasokhov states that in his cases, rejection was observed in only two patients after three months, and these were adults. Importantly, his treatment protocols did not involve immunosuppressive drugs. He suggests that rejection can also be caused by impaired blood and lymph circulation in the transplanted organ. For patients with congenital thymus defects, his procedures have consistently restored immunity.

He also mentions that his methods have shown success in treating patients who have undergone chemotherapy, alleviating side effects like toxic hepatitis and reducing the number of metastases. While acknowledging the existence of separate thymus gland fractions developed by other researchers, he asserts that thymus transplantation is preferable in severe cases of immune system impairment. He provides an example of a patient with severe diabetic angiopathy who, after thymus transplantation, experienced relief from pain, improved circulation, and a halt in inflammatory processes, negating the need for amputation.

When asked about treating AIDS, Dzhasokhov refers to a 1987 French journal article that reported successful thymus transplantation in 15 AIDS patients. He indicates that his practice primarily focuses on patients with severe conditions who may not tolerate traditional treatments or for whom such treatments are contraindicated, due to the demanding nature of managing high-risk surgeries and postoperative care.

Cancer Research and Self-Regulation

The magazine also touches upon research into spontaneous malignant tumors. Experiments involving a dog with a tumor on its hard palate showed that after surgery, the tumor's volume decreased by 90%, with the remaining part spontaneously detaching after four weeks. This phenomenon led to the development of new concepts and treatment methodologies for malignant tumors, involving changes in the biophysical state of the tumor, leading to the formation of new vessels and rapid tumor reduction. This research, conducted in collaboration with biophysicist Viktor Krasnikov and aerodynamicist Evgeny Voronov, suggests a potential for the body's self-regulation mechanisms to suppress tumors. Similar positive results were observed in patients with tumors of the stomach, bladder, rectum, and brain, where tumors reduced in size, pain ceased, and bleeding stopped.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around alternative and complementary medicine, the potential of the human body's self-healing capabilities, and the quest for scientific validation and recognition of non-traditional healing methods. The magazine seems to advocate for exploring and integrating these approaches alongside conventional medicine, particularly for severe or complex conditions. The editorial stance appears to be one of openness to paranormal phenomena and alternative therapies, while also highlighting scientific research and congresses that aim to legitimize these fields. The inclusion of topics like UFO sightings and parapsychology alongside detailed medical research suggests a broad interest in the unexplained and the frontiers of healing.

This issue of the magazine, titled "AUROMETER," published in 1992, focuses on a new method for investigating the electromagnetic aura of the human body. The cover features a prominent display of the title and a subtitle, along with an image of two scientists working with equipment and a patient.

Article: New Methods for Treatment and Disease

The issue begins with an interview discussing a new concept that could influence the development of treatment methods for various diseases, including radiation sickness and diabetes. The interviewee, likely a medical professional, states that while the concept is not universal, it opens perspectives for developing new treatment approaches. The ultimate goal is to treat the patient, not just the disease, with a vision of developing surgically controlled tissue regeneration methods.

The article then delves into the background of a surgeon named Sergei Dzakhov. He graduated from the Moscow Medical Institute, trained under academician Yuri Lopukhin, and later worked in a pediatric oncology clinic under Professor Lev Durnov, where he defended his candidate dissertation. Dzakhov's career path is described as steady and successful, leading him to Chita where he became the head of the surgery department at the medical institute. The rector of the institute, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences Vladimir Ivanov, supported his work. Dzakhov's research was recognized, and he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences. He is now the chief consultant for the Chita-based foreign economic firm "Komplekt" and initiated the creation of a Center for Organ-Preserving Treatment. His future plans include training medical professionals in his technologies, conducting practical sessions, seminars, and demonstrative surgeries, and developing a package of proposals for intellectual property. The firm "Komplekt" plans to open a representative office in Moscow to facilitate contacts with patients from European Russia and abroad, and also plans to establish a Moscow branch of the Center.

Article: AUROMETER - A New Method for Studying the Human Electromagnetic Aura

This section introduces the "AUROMETER," a novel device developed by engineer Yuri Kravchenko and doctor Nikolai Kalashchenko. Kravchenko, born in 1947, graduated from the Ufa Aviation Institute and later worked on medical topics. Kalashchenko, born in 1943, graduated from the Bashkir Medical Institute and worked in practical healthcare in Yakutia and Bashkiria, eventually becoming an associate professor and candidate of medical sciences at the Bashkir State Medical Institute.

The AUROMETER is described as a unique, highly sensitive, non-contact, remote instrument for measuring the electromagnetic radiation of any material object, including biological ones. The device and its method are protected by author's certificate No. 321662 (1990). A medical version of the phase-aurometer has been implemented at the Republican Clinical Hospital in Ufa. The instrument is environmentally friendly as it uses a contactless measurement method and detects the body's own emissions. It is intended for preventive examinations of the population and for clinical research. Its applications could extend to insurance, biolocation, testing of healers and psychics, and even in areas like selection (of animals or plants) and construction/operational control.

The article explains that advancements in biophysics and physics have led to research in Russia and other countries focusing on remote (up to one meter) registration of electromagnetic radiation from the human body. Unlike previous methods that registered electromagnetic fields in the range of hertz as "noise," the AUROMETER is designed to analyze specific frequency components within the 0.5-15.0 kHz range. It uses a digital filter and a phase-sensitive detector to measure the phase shift of oscillations, allowing for the identification of specific frequency components and the creation of a topographic map of the body's electromagnetic field, which can indicate the state of health.

The structural diagram of the AUROMETER (Figure 3) includes an antenna, a digital filter, a reference frequency generator, an AC amplifier, a phase detector, a DC amplifier, a noise compensation circuit, an integrator, and analog and digital indicators. The device is distinguished by its use of a digital filter for a narrow passband and a phase-sensitive detector instead of an amplitude detector. The digital filtering scheme enhances noise immunity, allowing for measurements without the need for shielded rooms, which is beneficial for medical institutions.

The article notes that the phase-aurometer represents a highly sensitive resonant amplifier of alternating current with a high input impedance. It measures the phase shift between the biological object's emission frequency and the reference generator's frequency. A noise compensation circuit is used to equalize the measured value to zero when the antenna is removed from the object, effectively measuring relative to the ambient noise. The integrator sums the signals to highlight weak components of the electromagnetic field. The current development includes a computer program for automated parameter capture, indication, and the generation of auroral topographic maps for printing.

List of Literature

The issue concludes with a list of seven references, primarily Russian publications from the late 1970s to 1990, covering topics such as parapsychology, biophysics, electromagnetic fields of biological objects, and noise in electronic systems. One reference is to author's certificate No. 321662 by Yu.P. Kravchenko et al. for a method of investigating surface electrostatic fields.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of new frontiers in medical treatment and diagnostics, particularly through the application of advanced physical and electronic technologies. There is a strong emphasis on Russian scientific innovation, with the introduction of the AUROMETER as a prime example. The editorial stance appears to be one of optimism and forward-looking research, as suggested by the concluding quote from Ovidius, "Dum spiro, spere" ("While I breathe, I hope"). The magazine promotes the idea that understanding and measuring subtle biological phenomena, like electromagnetic fields, can lead to significant advancements in healthcare.
