UFOs Over Brazil

The article "НЛО над Бразилией" (UFOs Over Brazil) details numerous UFO sightings and encounters in Brazil, a country known for its dense jungles and mysterious phenomena. The period between 1975-1985 is highlighted as a time of intense UFO activity, with reports of UFOs using hooks to grab people and spraying them with hot liquid. The article notes that many witnesses are reluctant to report sightings due to fear of ridicule or religious condemnation.

Key figures like Mytia Newby Luce and Bob Pratt, ufologists who have extensively investigated UFO cases in Brazil, are mentioned. A specific incident on March 6, 1991, describes a large UFO (the size of a two-story house) appearing over a couple, emitting blinding light and a fiery ball. The article also touches upon the dangers faced by witnesses, including burns, injuries, and even death, attributing some of these to encounters with UFOs and the hazardous jungle environment.

Despite the high number of sightings, many cases go unreported due to the vastness of Brazil and the limited number of ufologists. The article mentions the "Chupa-chupa" phenomenon, where locals believe UFOs suck the blood of abducted humans. It also notes that similar cases have been reported globally, suggesting a connection between incidents in Brazil and other locations like Athens, Vologda, Moscow, and Rio de Janeiro.

Mummy of an Alien

The article "Мумия пришельца" (Mummy of an Alien) reports on the discovery of several mummies in Egypt by French archaeologists, dating back over 4000 years. One mummy is described as a large humanoid, over eight feet tall, with a wide mouth, no ears or nose, and believed to be an extraterrestrial visitor. Renowned archaeologist Dr. Gaston de Villard suggests the alien was mummified and buried with provisions for its journey to the afterlife. The tomb also contained unusual artifacts, including a polished metal disc with unknown script, a rusted metallic suit, and stone tablets depicting planets and stars, along with engravings of unknown machines.

The tomb's construction is described as unusual, with perfectly polished marble walls suggesting the use of advanced technology like lasers. The material used in the golden decorations is also noted as being unknown to scientists. Dr. Villard and his team concluded that the giant mummy was indeed an alien who died on Earth. Further studies, including radiation exposure and skin analysis, are planned, with the potential for a groundbreaking discovery.

Find in the Alps

"Находка в Альпах" (Find in the Alps) briefly mentions the discovery of human remains in the Italian Alps in 1991, dating back over 5000 years. Anthropologists and geneticists plan to attempt to revive the ancient human through cloning, using preserved DNA from the remains.

UFOs Over Uruguay

"НЛО над Уругваем" (UFOs Over Uruguay) presents findings from a private Uruguayan group studying anomalies. Over seven years, 280 UFO sightings were recorded, with 30% deemed credible. The report indicates a trend of "visitors" getting closer to Earth, with alleged landings in Uruguay in 1976, followed by evidence of their presence and disruption of power lines in 1977. In 1978, UFOs were reported to have pursued moving vehicles. The study also noted that UFOs followed similar routes over Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil, often appearing over railway lines, large water bodies, and mineral-rich areas.

UFO Kaleidoscope

This section presents a collection of shorter UFO sighting reports:

• Australia, 1883: A farmer in New South Wales reported a UFO landing, with a being emerging and paralyzing his arm with a beam from a device.
• Denmark: A worker in a field witnessed a strange, oval-shaped flying object with a metallic gray superstructure and a strange being observing him.
• Yaroslavl, Russia: Four witnesses observed two glowing spherical objects of different sizes hovering in the sky during a thunderstorm. The objects later connected with a 'cord' and ascended rapidly.
• Venezuela: Residents of Lara village reported a disc-shaped object landing near a river. They claimed to see small, automaton-like beings inside.
• Ordzhonikidze, Russia: A large, crater-sized object landed near the Georgian Military Road. Witnesses saw a large illuminator and beings three times taller than humans emerge before the object disappeared.
• Yaroslavl Region, Russia: A witness reported seeing a bright red object resembling the sun, and later a large object with illuminated windows near her home, with which she had telepathic contact.
• Yaroslavl, Russia: A witness described observing a large, yellow, spotlight-covered sphere in the sky for several hours.

Computer Investigates UFOs

"Компьютер исследует НЛО" (Computer Investigates UFOs) discusses the verification of UFO photographs, referencing unique images taken by schoolboy Dmitry Girenko. The article highlights the use of computer graphics analysis, including the "IBAS-2000" system from Germany, to authenticate these photos. An expert commission concluded that the images were not retouched and exhibited characteristics of an anomalous phenomenon, suggesting the need for further analysis.

Challenger Disaster and UFOs

"'Челленджер' был сбит НЛО?" ('Challenger' was shot down by a UFO?) presents a controversial claim based on a tourist's video footage of the Challenger disaster in 1986. The video allegedly shows a UFO firing a laser-like beam at the space shuttle just before it exploded. Experts from NASA and independent analysts have reportedly examined the footage, with some suggesting it is not a hoax and that the beam targeted the area where the explosion occurred.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the unexplained, with a strong focus on UFO sightings and potential extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging readers to report their own experiences and contributing to the collective understanding of these phenomena. The publication emphasizes the importance of rigorous investigation and the use of modern technology, such as computer analysis, to validate evidence. There is a clear intent to document a wide range of UFO-related events, from alleged encounters and abductions to the discovery of unusual artifacts and beings.
