Chetvertoye Izmereniye - 1996 No 10

Magazine Overview

This issue of "ЧЕТВЕРТОЕ ИЗМЕРЕНИЕ" (Fourth Dimension), published by the Yaroslavl UFO Center in 1996, focuses on paranormal phenomena, ufology, and alternative healing practices. The cover headline highlights "Philippine Healers," and the magazine includes articles on historical and contemporary UFO sightings, reincarnation, spirit communication, and unexplained events like spontaneous combustion.

Philippine Healers

The lead article explores the phenomenon of Philippine healers, individuals capable of performing surgical operations with their bare hands. It notes that while initially dismissed as charlatans, medicine has begun to acknowledge their abilities. Hypotheses suggest they might use psychokinesis at a microscopic level, concentrating bioenergy to manipulate tissues without pain and with a bactericidal effect, leading to rapid healing. Dr. C. Zoitman, who underwent such an operation, believed it involved psychic influence mobilizing the patient's own healing reserves.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

UFO Over the Kremlin (1808)

A historical account details a sighting of a UFO over the Kremlin in 1808. Described as a long rectangular plate of phosphorescent color, it hovered for a period, emitting a crackling sound and illuminating the area. The observation was made by a university student or professor and is considered a significant early report of an unexplained aerial phenomenon in Russia.

Lev Lebedev's Encounter (1994)

Lev Lebedev, a journalist and artist from Kamchatka, reported a remarkable experience in 1994. While alone in his apartment, his broken television spontaneously turned on, displaying images of a UFO. He then observed a similar object outside his window. The 'communication' continued with images of beings inside the craft and glimpses of alien landscapes and creatures, suggesting a form of contact.

UFO Pursuit in Peru (1996)

A taxi driver named Josue Coral recounts a terrifying 40-minute pursuit by a bright white, disc-shaped object in Peru. The object, estimated to be about 15 meters in diameter, followed his taxi, at times hovering just above the road, before eventually flying away.

The Flatwoods Monster (1952)

This article revisits the famous 1952 incident in Flatwoods, West Virginia, where children reported seeing a UFO land. A group investigating the site encountered a large, strange creature with a helmet-like head and glowing eyes, accompanied by a strong, unpleasant odor. The creature was described as gliding rather than walking.

Unexplained Phenomena

Spontaneous Human Combustion

The magazine explores the phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion, citing several historical cases where individuals reportedly burst into flames without an external ignition source. Theories discussed include the impact of accelerated or decelerated time fields on the human body, suggesting that such phenomena might be linked to temporal anomalies.

Petrozerie Anomaly

A report on the 'Petrozerie' anomalous zone indicates that recent expeditions found the area had returned to normal, with no signs of the previous anomalies. However, some strange observations, such as brief light flashes and a silent UFO descent, were still noted.

Reincarnation Experiment

An experiment conducted in Belgium involved a computer designed to facilitate communication with the spirit of a deceased French clairvoyant, Sylvia Menard. Her spirit reportedly appeared and used the computer to type a message of 800 words, which is being kept secret. The experiment led some scientists to reconsider their views on parapsychological phenomena.

Spirit Communication via Computer

Another article details an experiment where a doctor-geneticist, Stella Lawrence, attempted to transfer her consciousness to a puppy before her death. While the outcome is presented with some skepticism regarding the feasibility of such a transfer, the dog's subsequent behavior was noted as unusual.

Other Content

Video Film Offerings

The magazine advertises several video films related to ufology and magic, including titles like "Three Hours of Wonder" and "UFO Video Album."
