Personal Encounter: Tatiana Andreevna Batrakova

The issue includes a detailed account from Tatiana Andreevna Batrakova of Yaroslavl, who claims to have had an encounter on her birthday, October 5, 1991. She describes being drawn out of her home by a mysterious voice and entering a UFO. Inside, she saw three beings (two men and one woman) operating controls. She describes the craft's interior as having a matte light and a large screen. She was offered a trip but declined, stating she would miss Earth. Upon returning, she found she had been given a triangular "call" device with lights, with instructions not to show it to others. The device later disappeared. She also recounts a second encounter where a transparent, luminous being entered her room and predicted that people would become transparent after 2000.

Batrakova reports experiencing unusual abilities after the first contact, such as making a lightbulb turn on by touch and healing people. She also describes strange occurrences at home, like objects levitating and an unseen presence. She claims the aliens identified their planet as "Red Star" and that they consume energy rather than food. She also mentions developing a strong urge to write poetry after the 1991 encounter, composing over 70 poems.

Research into the Yaroslavl Anomalous Zone

For eight years, the Yaroslavl group, led by Valery Kukushkin, has been investigating anomalous phenomena in Russia, India, and the Sirius system. They have conducted helicopter expeditions into the Darvinsky Nature Reserve, an area known for unusual occurrences. General-major of aviation B.S. Myagkov notes the military's interest in such phenomena for potential technological applications. The group is also searching for a mysterious "ball" of presumed extraterrestrial origin, which was reportedly seen by A.P. Gusev, the discoverer of the anomalous zone.

An announcement is made for the 5th scientific ufological conference on "Ufology and Bioenergoinformation" to be held in Moscow on October 19-20, 1996. The conference will cover new scientific directions and research results, with a registration fee of 2,500 rubles.
