East European Association of Paranormal Phenomena Researchers

Magazine Overview

This bulletin from the East European Association of Paranormal Phenomena Researchers, dated May 7, 2007, serves to inform its members about the association's activities, challenges, and significant events. It is presented as an open platform for members to share their news, tasks, and questions. This issue focuses on an overview of problems, conclusions from discussions, new articles, and other matters of international importance.

Organizational Matters

The bulletin reports on a congress held in Wroclaw, Poland, on April 28, 2007, which included participants like E. Sidorov (Latvia), L. Shafarík, and V. Drobečková (Czech Republic). This event featured bilateral negotiations and meetings with leading Polish researchers. A key organizational question discussed was how and where to organize international meetings during the spring and summer of 2007. A proposal was made to hold a three-day seminar on the study of anomalous phenomena (AP) in the Czech Republic, inviting foreign researchers and all association members. Members were asked to indicate their availability for this conference.

International Problems

Members are encouraged to share information about AP cases that have been published or have occurred in countries within the association's network, as colleagues may be able to help explain many of these problems. An example cited is a case from the Czech magazine '2000 чудес' (2000 Miracles), which reported on the testing of a new fighter jet in 1961 at an airfield in Riga, Latvia. During this event, a triangular object was observed and filmed. The bulletin queries if colleagues from Latvia have any information about this specific case.

Members are also asked to report on cases where researchers from other member countries have worked. A notable historical case is presented: the 'Starship near Kreščatik'. Early in the 20th century, the Czech archaeologist V. Khvoyka discovered a large, silver, arrow-shaped apparatus near Kreščatik (now in Ukraine). The object was reportedly 3 meters in diameter and over 50 meters long. The governor of Kyiv ordered it to be buried due to a lack of funds for its recovery. It was reportedly exhumed in 1948 during the clearing of post-war ruins on Kreščatik. According to the information, the first Soviet ballistic missile was developed using elements from Khvoyka's 'rocket', though its subsequent fate is unknown. This case is reportedly unknown in the Czech Republic.

Another incident mentioned is a case from Latvia where a bird imprint was found on glass, with a link provided for more details. Readers are asked if they have observed similar bird imprints on window glass and to write to [email protected].
