Четвертое измерение

Magazine Overview

This issue of "Четвертое измерение" (Fourth Dimension), dated 1993, issue №2, is published by the Russian newspaper "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" as an appendix to "Zavodskaya Pravda" of the Yaroslavl Tire Plant. The cover headline announces "НЛО ТЕРПИТ АВАРИЮ" (UFO SUFFERS CRASH), and the price is listed as "свободная" (free).

The Roswell Incident and Alien Bodies

The lead article details the famous Roswell incident of 1947. It begins with the account of a farmer, B. Brazel, who discovered unusual debris near Roswell, New Mexico, after hearing a loud noise and seeing a bright flash. The debris was described as resembling aluminum foil but was incredibly strong, with other materials like silk and parchment. Initial investigations involved military personnel and archaeologists, with witnesses reporting seeing a "flying disc." The object reportedly crashed on July 2, 1947.

Initially, military authorities, through public relations officer Senior Lieutenant Howe, officially announced the recovery of a "mysterious disc." However, this was quickly retracted, and a Pentagon spokesperson stated that the debris was from a meteorological balloon. The magazine suggests this was a "magnificent spectacle" to deceive the press, showing them "mysterious debris" that a specialist identified as parts of a weather balloon, though the specialist was unaware if these were the actual fallen fragments.

Crucially, the article reveals that the disc's debris and the remains of its pilots were transported to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in an "Angar 18A." It references the American film "Angar 18," suggesting its plot was based on this real event. A CIA memo from July 7, 1947, is cited, stating that during the recovery operation, "four small humanoid creatures" were found approximately two miles east of the crash site. These creatures were described as dead, mutilated, and in an advanced state of decomposition, having been preyed upon by rodents and insects for nearly a week. Scientists concluded that these beings were only superficially human-like but biologically and evolutionarily distinct from humans. Analysis of the wreckage indicated it was of non-terrestrial origin.

The article lists other alleged UFO crash incidents and recoveries attributed to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base: a 30-meter diameter disc from Laredo, Texas, in 1948, with a small pilot; a 10-meter diameter craft from Kingman, Arizona, in 1953, with a 1.2-meter tall pilot in a silver suit; and a 27-meter diameter disc that crashed near Edwards Air Force Base in 1952, featuring portholes blackened by high temperatures.

It is mentioned that a roll of film was given to TV producer James Sender in 1984, containing a report by Admiral Hillenkoetter, Director of the CIA, addressed to President Eisenhower in late 1952. This report detailed investigations into the craft and alien bodies recovered after the Roswell incident. Eisenhower reportedly decided to hear the "Majestic-12" report at the White House. The report, published in 1988, contained the date "07 July 1947," which experts noted was written with a leading zero, a practice common in military correspondence, further validating its authenticity.

Crash near Atzeca

This section describes the examination of a crashed extraterrestrial craft. Scientists, including Dr. Bush and Dr. Oppenheimer, meticulously studied the object. They struggled to find an entry point until one scientist discovered a "door button" near a "porthole." Pressing it caused the door to open downwards. Inside, they found two charred, humanoid bodies, about 122 cm tall, lying on a control panel. The panel featured buttons and levers with symbols resembling Sanskrit. The craft also emitted beeping sounds, similar to a portable transistor radio. Another compartment, possibly a sleeping area, contained "retractable beds" and twelve more charred bodies.

Dr. Detlev Wulf Bronk began examining the bodies, noting their small stature. Dr. Bush consulted with Dr. Paul A. Scherrer, an expert in cryogenics, who recommended using dry ice for temporary preservation. The scientists attempted to cut the craft with an acetylene torch and diamond drills, but the metal proved impenetrable. Eventually, they discovered "locking keys" on the inner surface that allowed the ship to be opened.

Dr. Bush was particularly interested in the control panel, observing small, retractable drawers without visible wires, speculating they were part of an electrical power system. He was astonished by the panel's compactness compared to contemporary computers, which occupied entire rooms.

UFO-Invisible

This article, written by Viktor Borisov from Yaroslavl, recounts a personal experience involving his four-year-old son. On January 3, 1993, while at a quarry near Yaroslavl, his son claimed to have seen two colored streaks, green and red, flying across the sky from northwest to southeast. Initially disbelieving, the author took two black-and-white photographs of the area. Upon developing the film, one of the photos revealed two spherical objects in the lower part of the frame, one larger than the other, and a dark arc resembling a rainbow.

The author, an experienced photographer, ruled out photographic error, suggesting the film captured physical bodies and radiation invisible to the human eye, possibly in the ultraviolet spectrum. He posits that children aged 4-5 may have a wider visual spectrum, perceiving phenomena invisible to adults, possibly due to their developing brains functioning differently. The son recognized the dark arc as similar to the colored streaks he saw.

Spiders-Mutants and Other Unusual Finds

This section reports on unusual findings by ufologists. From the "Devil's Cemetery" area in 1991, ufologists from Vladivostok collected a peculiar flower with hundreds of fleshy, aloe-like petals that moved daily. One surviving flower developed a frightening characteristic: its center formed an opening that expanded in the morning and contracted in the evening, eventually revealing a spider inside. The spiders found were large, black, and capable of quickly immobilizing a grasshopper.

Another report details stones found near Donetsk after a glowing ball exploded in 1974. These stones had pyroelectric properties. Analysis of material found near Belaya Kalitva and the Chegen Gorge revealed high concentrations of cerium and lanthanum, with the base material being lanthanum hydroxide and lanthanum oxide. Similar results were obtained from a sample found on the Vaksh River in 1976.

Mysterious Fragments

This article discusses a metallic object found near Ayud, Romania, in 1974. The object, 20.2 cm long, was identified as part of a specialized machine. Metallurgical analysis revealed it was made of a complex alloy of twelve elements, including 89% aluminum. The object had a thick oxide layer, suggesting an age of several hundred thousand years. The author speculates it could be a landing gear component from an extraterrestrial craft.

The article also references a "star stone" found near Tula, Russia, described as a small piece of shiny mineral weighing 38 grams. When rubbed, it emits sparks and is easily flammable. Analysis indicated it contained rare-earth elements like cerium, lanthanum, and neodymium. Similar findings were reported from the Vaksh River in 1976. Both samples showed traces of uranium isotopes (233, 235, 238) and were considered non-terrestrial, possibly fragments of meteorites or products of extraterrestrial technology.

UFO Kaleidoscope

This section presents brief, uncommented reports from UFO and anomalous phenomenon eyewitnesses. These include observations of glowing objects, strange lights, disc-shaped craft, and unexplained sounds from various locations in Belarus and Estonia.

Advertisement

There are advertisements for a bank offering an 80% annual interest rate on deposits, a printing company offering fast and cheap seals and stamps, and a company named "KIFA" offering courses on spiritual development, healing sessions, and treatment for gastrointestinal issues and parasitic entities. There is also an advertisement for urgent installation of PAL decoders and repair of color televisions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and related anomalies. Recurring themes include alleged UFO crashes, the recovery of extraterrestrial craft and bodies, government secrecy surrounding these events, and the possibility of advanced, non-terrestrial technology. The publication appears to lean towards validating these phenomena, presenting eyewitness accounts and scientific analyses (even if speculative) as evidence. There's an emphasis on the mysterious and unexplained, encouraging readers to share their own experiences. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into the UFO phenomenon, presenting information that supports the existence of extraterrestrial visitation and advanced, unknown technologies.
