Main Articles and Features

The Mysteries of Military UFOs: Monchegorsk

The lead article details the alleged discovery of a crashed or found unidentified flying object (UFO) near Monchegorsk, Russia. Petersburg journalists Konstantin Vulf and Valentin Psalsomshchikov investigated reports from local residents and military personnel. According to their findings, the object was not captured but 'found in the rocks' and transported to a military unit near Monchegorsk. It was described as being similar to a 'shuttle,' approximately 13-14 meters long and 4-4.5 meters wide, with a smooth, matte, grey-sandy colored body. Attempts to open it with an oxy-acetylene torch were unsuccessful. The object was eventually moved into a hangar, where it mysteriously disappeared. The article speculates on a possible connection to a visit by M.S. Gorbachev to the region around the time of the object's discovery.

A serviceman identified only as 'B.', who was part of the security detail, provided details after his demobilization. He described the object's appearance and the initial fear it evoked. He also mentioned that a higher-ranking officer claimed it was a UFO. The object's interior was partially examined, revealing what appeared to be a cockpit with two seats and control panels, but it was not designed for human occupants. Attempts to extract material from the object resulted in 'thermal burns' for those involved.

The article also touches upon the possibility that the object might have been a test model of the Soviet space shuttle 'Buran,' citing similarities in thermal protection technology. However, participants in the 'Buran' tests denied losing any prototypes.

Ghosts of All Countries...

This section reports on the formation of the "United Professional Union of Ghosts" in Kemerovo, Russia. The union aims to address the growing presence of 'non-material beings' in society and plans to expand its membership and establish local branches. The article humorously notes that the state itself is beginning to resemble a ghostly entity.

UFOs - Kaleidoscope

This section contains several personal accounts of alleged UFO sightings and encounters:

• N.I. Smolyakova from Yaroslavl describes being illuminated by bright white and yellow light beams from an unknown source in the sky on two separate occasions in July 1995. She experienced temporary paralysis but no lasting negative health effects.
• Natalia Sergeevna from Kostroma recounts seeing a human silhouette in her room in January 1990, which she initially mistook for her father but realized was too slender. The figure approached her, causing fear, before disappearing. Her neighbor also reported a similar experience.
• Ildar and his father (as recounted to his mother, Rosa Gabdullina) claim to have been abducted by three tall, humanoid beings with hook-like noses and large eyes. They were taken aboard a craft, shown its interior, and experienced a sensation of flight. They described the beings' silver suits and unusual physical features. The experience, which felt short to them, was noted by their mother to have lasted nearly five hours.

Should We Fear UFOs?

This editorial piece discusses the potential impact of UFO technology on humanity. It warns that if UFO technology were to be used for military purposes, it could lead to global conflict and destruction. The author suggests that humanity's current level of aggression and moral development makes it unprepared for such advanced technology. The article questions whether humanity's moral compass is sufficient to handle such power, suggesting that UFOs might be interacting with individuals rather than governments due to this lack of preparedness. It concludes that while UFO technology should be studied, it should only be after humanity has achieved a higher level of moral development.

The Search That Lasted Eight Years

This article recounts the eight-year search by Professor Petr Ludovikovich Dravert for fragments of the Khmelevka meteorite, which fell in 1929. After extensive searching, he eventually located one piece, which had been used by a local resident as a weight for sauerkraut. The article highlights the difficulties in tracking down meteorite fragments and the dedication of the researcher.

Characteristics of UFO Flight: The Propulsion System of UFOs

This article analyzes the flight characteristics of UFOs based on eyewitness accounts. It discusses:

• Rotational Movement: UFOs are often reported to rotate, either entirely or partially, especially before takeoff or during hovering. This is speculated to be for stability, particularly for disc-shaped craft. The rotation is believed to be controllable by the pilot.
• Energy and Effects: Reports indicate that UFOs can generate strong gusts of wind, cause dust storms, lift vehicles, and create heat effects. These phenomena are linked to the UFO's propulsion system, which is theorized to involve the suppression of gravity and possibly microwave radiation.
• Heat and Electrical Effects: The article details instances of objects being heated, vegetation scorched, and electrical shocks experienced by witnesses who approached UFOs. These effects are attributed to the UFO's energy emissions.

New Satellites of Saturn Discovered

This brief report mentions the discovery of at least four new potential satellites of Saturn by astronomers using the Hubble orbital telescope. This brings the known number of Saturn's moons to at least 22, a number that aligns with ancient occult beliefs about the planet.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of UFO phenomena with military activities, scientific investigation, and personal experiences. There is a strong emphasis on the potential dangers and mysteries surrounding UFOs, often highlighting the need for caution and further research. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, while also acknowledging the potential risks and the importance of moral development in handling advanced technologies. The inclusion of personal accounts and historical investigations suggests a commitment to documenting and analyzing UFO-related events from various perspectives.
