Main Cover Story: Humanity is Preparing for War with Aliens!

The cover story of this issue, "Humanity is Preparing for War with Aliens!", sets a dramatic tone, suggesting an impending conflict with extraterrestrial forces. The article details alleged communications from alien civilizations, specifically the "Galactic Command Ashtar," which issued warnings to humanity in 1977. The first broadcast, in June 1977, was a brief, synthesized voice message stating, "I, the chairman of the Galactic Command 'Ashtar' in the Earth sector, warn you. My people will simply destroy you if you do not stop your wars."

A second, longer broadcast in November 1977, attributed to "Gillon," a representative of the same command, offered a less ultimatum-like message. It spoke of peace and reason, urging humanity to embrace the "new Aquarian age" and warning against the destructive nature of nuclear energy. The message emphasized that atomic energy is inherently against life and should be universally abandoned, as its use, even research, dooms the planet. The broadcast also highlighted the presence of more beings on and around Earth than human scientists acknowledge and expressed concern for humanity's path, offering help if humanity proves worthy.

The article questions why such significant events, and others related to UFO phenomena, have been largely ignored or suppressed by governments. It raises concerns about whether world leaders are taking these cosmic threats seriously and implementing protective measures.

Government Secrecy and UFOs

A press release from the Vladivostok Association of Ufologists, dated June 22, 1992, and compiled by Kolman von Kevitzky, head of IKUFON, claims that for decades, the governments of the USA and USSR concealed information from the UN that humanity has been under strict observation by "Galactic forces."

The article references a 1952 incident where a massive UFO attack was allegedly repelled without success. President Harry Truman, in a memorandum dated September 11, 1952, reportedly noted that "mass media channels, air force communication channels are being monitored and intercepted by UFOs." The memorandum also suggested that mass media should conduct public awareness campaigns to minimize panic when the true goals of UFOs are revealed.

In 1968, the National Security Agency (NSA) allegedly sent a report to President Lyndon Johnson discussing the UFO problem and justifying the need to develop a military space industry. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan reportedly confirmed the existence of a real threat from outer space to the head of IKUFON, emphasizing his commitment to national defense.

A "Military Declaration Against UFO Forces" was announced in Geneva in November 1985. President R. Reagan is quoted as saying on December 4, 1984, "I believe we cannot hope to win the race with the aliens. The situation for us is threatening... We need to organize new thinking in approaching this issue."

Following the end of the Cold War, in February 1987, President Mikhail Gorbachev stated that during a meeting in Geneva, the US President noted that if Earth faced aggression from extraterrestrial beings, the USA and USSR would do everything possible to repel it. In 1991-1992, the USA and Russia reportedly began a new joint defense project, an "atomic shield" to protect the planet from cosmic forces, a decision made by Presidents Bush and Yeltsin in late January 1992.

Boris Yeltsin is quoted on January 31, 1992, stating, "I think it's time to create a 'Global Defense World System.' It can be built on the basis of the American SDI program, using technologies developed in Russia."

The article concludes by questioning the identity and location of these cosmic enemies and the necessity of such a defense system, with Kolman von Kevitzky suggesting a "Star Peace" project for the benefit of humanity instead. The authors, Yulia Batytskaya and Alexander Rempel of the Vladivostok Association of Ufologists, ponder the reality of alien presence and the potential for a "star war."

Mysterious Aircraft Disappearances

The magazine presents two accounts of aircraft disappearing under mysterious circumstances.

The First Incident (1953):

Ljudmila Nikolaevna Shevchenko, a resident of Yaroslavl, recounts an incident from 1953 when she and her husband were stationed on Kunashir Island. During training flights over the Pacific Ocean, a combat aircraft vanished inexplicably while approaching the landing strip. It disappeared visually, from radar, and all communication was lost. No wreckage or signs of an explosion were found. The aircraft seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Following the incident, the military base contacted the Ministry of Defense of the USSR. Naval vessels and submarines conducted extensive but fruitless searches for the missing aircraft or its parts. The event led to widespread panic and remains unexplained.

The Second Incident (September 1982):

E. N. Astapov shares an account from a young officer recently demobilized from the Soviet Army. While on duty in a Belarusian military district, a MiG-21 fighter jet disappeared from radar. Polish armed forces were contacted to assist in the search, but no results were obtained after 24 hours.

Remarkably, the missing aircraft landed on the runway a day later. Aviation specialists were baffled, as the aircraft could not have remained airborne for so long without refueling. The pilot appeared normal, but the aircraft's onboard clock showed a 24-hour discrepancy. The pilot underwent intense interrogation but could recall nothing significant about the event.

Yu. Smirnov suggests that UFOs might create temporal tunnels, transforming objects and themselves. He posits that these incidents could be collisions with invisible "time machines."

"Snowman" Encounters and Statistical Analysis

This section details an expedition to the Pamir-Alay mountains, where researchers investigated anomalous phenomena, including potential encounters with the "Snowman" (Yeti).

Observations and Analysis:

During a 19-day expedition, 33 observations of anomalous phenomena were recorded. The density of these observations peaked between August 3rd-9th and August 15th-18th, with a minimum between August 9th-15th. This distribution correlated with previous studies on "Snowman" sightings, suggesting a link between the phenomena and the expedition members themselves.

Notably, daytime observations were rare, with activity increasing significantly around dusk and peaking at 10:00 PM, when most expedition members were resting and shift guards were on duty. A secondary peak in activity occurred between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM, coinciding with the start of new guard shifts.

Categorization of Phenomena:

• Observations were categorized into two main groups:
• Group A: Phenomena with a real (physical) nature, such as streaks of light, point sources of light, flashes, and shadows.
• Group B: Psychophysical phenomena of an irrational nature, including visions (e.g., a dead dog), feelings of well-being, strange sounds, and tactile sensations.

Analysis showed that 90.5% of Group A observations occurred when individuals were naturally awake, while only 20% of Group B observations did. Conversely, individuals experiencing Group B phenomena often reported intense fear, horror, or sleepiness, whereas Group A observers reported more neutral emotions like indifference, delight, or pleasure.

Psychophysical Resonance:

The article introduces the concept of "paraphysical resonance," where an initiator's hallucination or vision can be transformed and experienced by others in a group. This phenomenon is explored through the experiences of L. N. Ostashenko, who reported various unusual occurrences, including feeling her backpack lighten and seeing a vision of a dead dog. Other members of the expedition also reported similar sensations, suggesting a shared psychophysical experience.

The author, Yu. Smirnov, argues that psychophysical phenomena are primary to paraphysical ones, as they require a human "carrier." He notes that these paraphysical manifestations were observed at short distances (0.2 to tens of meters), suggesting transmission via electromagnetic bio-currents, though the mechanism remains unclear.

Conclusion of the Expedition:

The expedition failed to find evidence of the "Snowman" but confirmed the occurrence of paraphysical resonance among participants. The article suggests that the conditions for paraphysical resonance include common goals, an initiator, an unfavorable natural environment, and a receptive psychological state within the group.

Poltergeist Hunting

This section discusses the phenomenon of poltergeists, suggesting they might be intelligent entities. It notes that while special devices for detecting poltergeists do not exist, they can sometimes be captured on film using flash photography, which can reveal their energy forms. The article explains that human vision is limited to a specific spectrum of light, while animals can see in a wider range, including ultraviolet.

Poltergeists are described as "field formations" that can take various shapes, including light clouds, snake-like formations, or even resembling the devil. The article suggests that poltergeists might draw energy from their environment or from human fear. It also mentions that the Yaroslavl UFO study group has a phone number for inquiries and offers advice for "poltergeist hunters," recommending the use of powerful ultraviolet lamps and protective eyewear. They also invite readers to share their photographs of poltergeist activity.

Biolocation: It's Not So Simple!

This article critiques the popular notion that biolocation is "very simple," as suggested in a previous publication. The author, N. N. Sochevanov, argues that biolocation is a complex field with many untrained individuals claiming expertise. He highlights issues with "operators" who lack proper certification and understanding of reproducibility, error margins, and background fluctuations.

Sochevanov emphasizes that experienced operators can achieve high success rates (90-95%) in finding underground water, while beginners may only achieve 20-30%. He also points out the difficulties in accurately identifying geopathogenic or technopathogenic zones, with different "specialists" providing conflicting information.

The article discusses the concept of geopathogenic zones (GPZs) and technopathogenic zones, noting that their influence can be significant. It mentions that some GPZs on the territory of the Leningrad Optical-Mechanical Association (LOMO) have reportedly been "re-polarized," creating a comfortable zone.

Sochevanov warns against using services from uncertified "operators," as their advice can be erroneous and lead to financial losses and a negative perception of biolocation.

UFOs Over China

This section reports on UFO sightings in China. It mentions a mid-March incident where a Chinese aircraft reportedly pursued a UFO for nine minutes over Shanghai. The UFO, described as larger than a passenger jet, flew over the airport, changed direction, and disappeared.

The article notes that the Chinese press has begun reporting on UFO encounters, with the first scientific society for UFO research established in Wuhan. The society, headed by student Le Ping, coordinates discussions and observes UFO phenomena. The article also references earlier reports from the 1980s about UFO sightings and photographs taken in China.

Guests from Space

This personal account describes an encounter in Volgograd in September 1990. The narrator's son, Sasha, witnessed a red light behaving erratically, followed by a disc-shaped object hovering over Mamayev Kurgan. Later, he saw what he described as a "humanoid" figure peering into his window from the roof. The figure was described as grey, with short-cropped hair, and appeared to be lying on the roof, leaning over with its upper body visible.

The narrator and her daughter also observed the disc-like object, which emitted a conical beam of light towards the ground before disappearing and reappearing. The son was deeply frightened by the encounter.

Water Rotation and UFOs

In Khabarovsk, a worker named Alexander Stetsyuk observed water in a bucket rotating as if in a vortex, despite the absence of wind. Ufologists who investigated the site suggested that the phenomenon was related to a UFO. Their biolocation equipment registered interference when pointed at the bucket of water, and a camera malfunctioned when brought near the lake.

Ufologists believe the water rotation is linked to UFOs, citing increased electrical components in the biofield of plants in the area. Local residents have also reported seeing fireballs, discs, and pyramids in the night sky. An alternative explanation of geomagnetic forces is also mentioned.

UFOs

A short poem about a UFO sighting over Yaroslavl.

Mysterious Traces

This section presents photographs of mysterious destruction, including craters and split tree trunks, sent by Alexei Ivanovich Komogorov from Mtsensk. He describes three birch trees that were split as if by lightning, but without any signs of burning. The author, Yu. Oransky, questions whether ball lightning could cause such damage and suggests that these phenomena might be related to UFO activity.
