Chetvertoye Izmereniye - 1995 No 03

Magazine Overview

This issue of "Fourth Dimension and UFO" magazine, supplement to the newspaper "Factory Truth" of the Yaroslavl Tire Plant, is dated 1995 and is designated as issue number 3. The cover headline boldly proclaims "UFO Caught on Camera!" and indicates a 'free price'. The magazine delves into various unexplained phenomena, including UFO sightings, poltergeist activity, and anomalous zones, supported by witness accounts and photographic evidence.

UFOs Caught on Camera

The magazine features an article titled "UFO Caught on Camera!" which presents a photograph taken by Alexander Aleshchetz from Rechitsa, Gomel region, Belarus. He claims to have captured the trajectory of a UFO during a long-exposure night shot. While the object itself is not clearly visible due to the exposure settings, its rapid movement and unusual 'dead loop' maneuver are described, ruling out conventional aircraft or satellites. The article notes that such photographic evidence is rare and often requires specific conditions, such as dark skies and a stationary camera. It also mentions a prediction by ufologists of increased UFO activity towards the end of 1995 and into 1996, suggesting this phenomenon is global and not tied to specific events like elections. Another photograph, published in the American UFO journal "ORBITER," also shows UFO tracks.

UFO Looked in the Window

Another report, "UFO Looked in the Window," details an incident on February 7, 1995, in Yaroslavl, Russia. Olga Vladimirovna and her daughter Masha witnessed a very bright blue ball-like object appear outside their window at close range. The object's light was so intense it was impossible to look at, and its edges were described as smooth and even. Simultaneously, their television and house lights turned off. The UFO then vanished as suddenly as it appeared, with a loud pop, and the power returned. Witnesses at a UFO research group meeting confirmed that the power went out in their entire neighborhood around the same time, and one woman's refrigerator burned out.

In Memory of Vladislav Listyev

The magazine includes a brief, somber note mourning the death of journalist Vladislav Listyev, calling his murder a terrible crime. The editorial board of "Fourth Dimension and UFO" and the "Yaroslavl UFO Research Group" express their condolences and hope for improved order in the country to prevent such tragedies.

Cosmic Detoxification Center?

This article recounts a personal experience of Nikolai Nosenkov from Kryvyi Rih. He describes observing a "flying saucer" with a matte oval body and pulsating greenish light. He believed it landed nearby, and upon investigating, found a structure resembling a production facility with glowing vertical louvers. After whistling, a large stone-like object seemed to move, causing him to fall and lose consciousness. He awoke the next morning, having apparently been moved to a different location. He notes that after this experience, he quit drinking, though he cannot fully explain the change.

"Airship" Over the Windbreak

An account from August 24, 1990, near Petrovskoye village, Novomoskovsk district, Ukraine, describes a sighting of a long, cigar-shaped object, initially mistaken for a white cloud. Using a camera filter, the witness saw it was a "dirigible" that rotated and then became stationary, revealing dim yellowish windows. The object then moved towards Sichkarevka village and disappeared. Other passengers on a bus confirmed seeing something unusual, and the article mentions that radar stations in Zaporizhzhia and Dneprovshchina had previously detected fast-moving unidentified objects.

Poltergeist Unleashed!

This section details a poltergeist incident on February 10, 1995, at boarding school No. 65 in Yaroslavl. A witness, Alexandra Anatolyevna, described a wardrobe violently opening and closing, accompanied by loud noises. Objects fell from the wardrobe, and children woke up. The phenomenon lasted for about an hour. Members of the Yaroslavl UFO Research Group investigated and found no unusual physical evidence, but dowsing rods indicated a strong negative anomaly in the area, affecting the wardrobe, a washbasin, and several beds. In a peculiar incident, fallen alphabet letters from the wardrobe were arranged to form an obscene word.

Poltergeist Comes at Midnight!

This article reports on a poltergeist event in a communal apartment in St. Petersburg on September 28, 1994. Residents reported red-brown stains appearing on the floor and walls, resembling blood, with distinct tracks indicating movement. Strange 'slurping' sounds were heard. The substance was analyzed and found to contain blood of various groups and Rh factors, baffling experts. The incident occurred on the same night as the sinking of the ferry "Estonia."

Anomalous Zones on the Roads

This section, featuring photographs of recent accidents, discusses "anomalous zones" on roads where unexplained accidents occur. The author, V.A. Nartsissov, recounts several incidents, including a woman being thrown under a bus by an unseen force, a motorcyclist falling due to an invisible barrier, and multiple fatalities on specific stretches of road. He also describes a phenomenon where similar events, like appendicitis cases or traffic accidents, occur in pairs within a 24-hour period, a concept known as the "law of paired cases" among surgeons. The article suggests that these zones might emit harmful fields that affect vehicles and people. The editor's note corroborates these accounts, mentioning a similar incident near Yaroslavl where a car encountered an invisible barrier. The editor advocates for mapping these anomalous zones to prevent accidents.

Flying "Bubbles"

This article explores various UFO shapes and sizes, citing statistics on reported sightings and photographic evidence. It details several specific sightings of unusual objects: a semi-spherical object with a vibrating lower part observed in Amiens, France, in 1954; a large, expanding, bluish-white glowing "bubble" seen by geologists in Bashkiria in 1975; a luminous semi-sphere observed by military officers in Kirghizia in 1976; a bright white ball with a trailing "soap bubble" and pink ring near Zagorsk in 1990; and a glowing ball with a dome-shaped luminescence causing power outages in Primorsky Krai in 1992. The article suggests these phenomena might be related to protective fields or energy sources for UFOs.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently presents accounts of unexplained phenomena, emphasizing witness testimonies and photographic evidence. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFOs, poltergeists, and other anomalous events, encouraging readers to share their experiences. There is a clear interest in documenting and analyzing these occurrences, with a call for further research and mapping of anomalous zones. The magazine also expresses concern over the state of public order, as evidenced by the note on Vladislav Listyev's murder and the hope for improved safety and security.
