ИЗМЕРЕНИБИНЛО

Magazine Overview

This issue of "IZMERENIEINLO" (UFO Measurement), a supplement to the newspaper "Zavodskaya Pravda" of the Yaroslavl Tire Plant, is dated 1995 and is priced as 'free'. The cover prominently features the headline "MISSING POLICE OFFICERS, OR UFO OVER SAN DIEGO" and includes smaller articles on UFOs and related phenomena.

The Yaroslavl UFO Study Group

The article highlights the ongoing work of the Yaroslavl UFO study group, which has been active for over 13 years. The group has collected a significant amount of evidence, including witness testimonies, photographs, and even samples of unusual materials. They estimate that about 80% of reported phenomena can be explained by misunderstandings, while 20% remain unexplained. The group holds regular meetings on Tuesdays at 6 PM at the House of Culture of Vocational Education and invites interested individuals to join.

A specific case is recounted where a father reported his son and friends seeing a strange glowing object near the 'Pobeda' cinema. Initially thought to be a UFO, it was later identified as a laser experiment from a photography studio's holographic club, which projected beams onto the clouds.

UFOs Over San Diego: The Missing Police Officers

This section details the activities of the 'Orion' UFO research organization in San Diego, founded by Eric Harr. 'Orion' members, who often have high IQs and professional backgrounds, collaborated with local law enforcement to receive UFO reports. A particularly mysterious case from May 27, 1978, involved a triangular UFO sighted near Chula Vista. The event coincided with unusual behavior from witnesses and the subsequent disappearance of three police officers who had observed the object. Despite extensive searches, the officers were never found, and attempts to re-interview them were met with evasion.

Bermuda Triangle Mysteries

The article briefly mentions the enduring mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, recounting a story of three fishermen who were lost at sea during a storm and were rescued by a mysterious vessel crewed by transparent beings speaking ancient English. The fishermen were treated by a ship's doctor who healed a severe wound instantly. The account concludes by questioning whether this is another legend or a genuine phenomenon.

Poltergeist Phenomena

This section explores the nature of poltergeist activity, describing it as phenomena that defy known physical laws. It notes that such events, once kept secret, are now more openly discussed. The article presents several case studies from the village of Shkotovo-22, involving unexplained knocking sounds, lights going out intermittently, and strange noises emanating from walls. One case describes a child who claimed to see an invisible 'lady'. Another incident involved a woman who heard footsteps and witnessed doors opening and closing on their own in an empty room. The article also touches upon the hypothesis of parallel worlds as a potential explanation for poltergeist activity, suggesting that these phenomena might be echoes from other dimensions.

Physiological Effects of UFO Encounters

This part of the magazine details the physical and physiological impacts of UFO encounters on humans. Witnesses often report feeling heat, paralysis, and sensations akin to electric shocks. These effects are frequently accompanied by the malfunctioning of nearby electronic devices, such as car engines and headlights, suggesting a link to electromagnetic energy. The article notes that while some effects are temporary, others can be more severe, requiring recovery time. The intensity of these effects appears to be related to the proximity of the UFO and its maneuvers.

Physiological Effects of UFOs (Continued)

Further discussion on the physiological effects of UFOs highlights how microwave energy, which UFOs are believed to emit, can cause various symptoms. The article mentions cases of temporary paralysis lasting for extended periods, even after the UFO has departed. It also notes that while motor functions may be impaired, vital functions like heart rate and breathing often remain normal. The correlation between UFO activity and electrical disturbances in vehicles is emphasized, pointing towards electromagnetic radiation as the likely cause.

Ball Lightning Incident at Omsk Hospital

A detailed account describes a powerful explosion and fire at Omsk City Hospital No. 7 on February 22, 1993. The incident, which occurred in an infectious disease ward, caused significant damage and injuries, particularly to patients with hepatitis. The explosion melted electrical wiring, plaster, and even metal fixtures. While initial investigations by firefighters and a UFO club failed to determine a cause, a theory emerged suggesting ball lightning as the culprit. This theory is supported by witness accounts of a glowing sphere near the hospital and the unusual electrical phenomena observed. The article proposes that a faulty high-voltage power line and an ungrounded metal roof may have created conditions for the formation of ball lightning. However, the hospital administration later prohibited further investigation, citing the infectious nature of the ward.

UFO Kaleidoscope

This section presents a collection of brief UFO sighting reports from various individuals:

• Yaroslavl Resident: Reported seeing 7-8 elliptical, glowing objects in the sky on November 22, 1993, which changed position and emitted light beams. The witness experienced eye pain and vision deterioration.
• Diana Grigoryeva (Yaroslavl District): Described a truck-sized, glowing object moving along a road at night on February 16-17, 1994. The object caused the air above it to shimmer, and the witness was illuminated by lights three times.
• Witness from Yurievetsky District, Ivanovo Region: Saw two orange spheres in the sky on an evening, along with colorful rocket-like lights. The spheres rotated towards each other.
• Natasha (12 years old, Kiev): Reported seeing a dark blue cloud in the sky on which images of a snake and a bird appeared. A cubic object detached from the cloud, descended, and emitted a red light before disappearing.
• A. A. Rodin (Yaroslavl): Recounted an incident in 1958 where a large orange ball hovered over a house and then disappeared.
• A. A. Rodin (Yaroslavl): Described a childhood experience in 1991 where a large orange ball hovered over his house, emitted rays, and then descended. He felt nauseous and developed blue spots on his legs.
• Olya M. (Ufa): Witnessed several glowing spheres appearing and disappearing in the sky in the village of Glebovo, Ryazan region, in 1989. The spheres eventually merged into one large object with visible dark spots.
• Lena Zhurkina and friends (Moscow): Reported seeing a large, glowing object resembling an English letter 'L' on October 29, 1989. The object rotated, emitted bright light, and then moved away.
• M. D. Nikiforov (Daugavpils): Heard three loud shots and observed a fish-shaped object with visible internal partitions moving slowly across the sky without engine noise.

Police Announcement

A public service announcement from the Yaroslavl Oblast Internal Affairs Directorate warns against a false leaflet circulating in public transport and crowded places. The leaflet, falsely attributed to the Moscow GUVD, claims that a dangerous sexual maniac and UFO enthusiast named Vladimir Georgievich A. escaped from a high-security psychiatric hospital on October 13, 1994. The announcement states that this information is untrue and that no internal affairs bodies are involved in its distribution. Citizens are urged to report any information about the distributors of this leaflet.

Advertisements

The issue includes advertisements for the "Yuny Tekhnik" (Young Technician) store, offering items like tillers, ceramic tiles, building materials, electrical goods, chainsaws, and audio/video cassettes. There is also a listing for the editorial office and printing house.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on UFO sightings, unexplained phenomena, and the investigation of these events. It presents a mix of eyewitness accounts, scientific speculation (e.g., parallel worlds, electromagnetic effects), and historical accounts of UFO research. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging reader participation and the sharing of experiences. There's a clear effort to document and analyze reported anomalies, even while acknowledging that many sightings may have mundane explanations. The inclusion of a police announcement suggests an awareness of public safety and the need to address misinformation related to unusual events.
