Chetvertoye Izmereniye - 1996 No 12

Magazine Overview

This issue of the Russian magazine "ЧЕТВЕРТОЕ ИЗМЕРЕНИЕ НАО" (Fourth Dimension NAO), dated 1996, under issue number 12, focuses on "Засекреченные гуманоиды" (Secret Humanoids). It is a supplement to the newspaper "Заводская правда" from the Yaroslavl Tire Plant and is published by the Yaroslavl Ufocenter. The price is listed as 'свободная' (free/unrestricted).

Secret Humanoids: A Controversial Film

The lead article details a purported video recording of an encounter with a 'humanoid' alien. The narrator describes seeing a being with large, blinking eyes and a tight-fitting suit, posing for the camera. The footage then shows a cow that appears to be incapacitated, followed by an oval UFO hovering low to the ground. A military officer is seen escorting the 'humanoid' away, suggesting a controlled interaction rather than a hostile one. The film concludes with the UFO ascending and disappearing, and soldiers searching the area. The article explores several theories about the film's origin: a fragment of a feature film, a working moment from an unfinished movie, or a training film created by an army cameraman. A particularly intriguing version suggests the film was made in Hollywood between 1985-1987 as part of a project to understand Soviet special operations and extreme situation handling, with the footage possibly stolen or purchased by Soviet authorities for analysis.

UFO Crash Investigations and Anomalous Zones

Another section, "По следам катастроф НЛО" (In the Wake of UFO Crashes), discusses various alleged UFO incidents. It references a 1997 article by A.A. Anfalov about UFO crashes, including a disputed incident near Krasnovodsk (Turkmenistan) involving a UFO on water that self-destructed. The article debunks the Krasnovodsk incident based on testimony from a former military officer who served in the area and found no corroborating evidence. However, it highlights the confirmed Dalnegorsk crash of January 29, 1986, from which the Yaroslavl Ufocenter reportedly possesses physical remnants. The magazine also touches upon the Roswell incident of 1947, noting the ongoing debate surrounding an alleged alien autopsy film.

What Fell Over England?

A brief report, "Что упало у берегов Англии?" (What Fell Over England?), describes an incident in October 1996 where residents of the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, witnessed a flash and explosion over the ocean. Coast guard and naval forces conducted searches for debris, and an aviation accident was ruled out.

The Mystery of "Blackberry"

Following up on a previous article about a supposed UFO crash in England on April 19, 1993, the "Blackberry" incident is discussed. Experts from the Crimean Ufocenter consider the story plausible, despite skepticism from some ufologists. The magazine has sent an inquiry to the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA) to verify details.

Anomalous Locations on Earth

The magazine features several articles on geographically anomalous locations:

• Valley of Falling Birds (Jatinga, Assam, India): In August, birds inexplicably fall from the sky, possibly due to geophysical and atmospheric anomalies affecting their nervous systems.
• "Silver Wells" (Resaf, Syria): Ancient wells in the ruins of a city are said to purify water overnight, attributed to bactericidal soil properties or the influence of 'silver people' (aliens).
• Bruzas Object (Vilnius, Lithuania): An anomalous zone in a forest where compasses behave erratically, and objects defy gravity.
• Vedlyozero Lake (Karelia, Russia): In 1928, a cylindrical object reportedly crashed into the lake, followed by sightings of a short, strange creature.
• Praiser Zone (Santa Cruz, California, USA): An area where a concrete beam appears to defy gravity, making people on one end seem shorter or taller than those on the other.
• Bell Mountain (Jebel-Nacug, Red Sea coast): Legends say that sand on this mountain 'sings' when climbed, possibly due to a hidden monastery.
• Blue Mountain (Volgograd Oblast, Russia): This elevation is said to attract thunderstorms and affect the behavior of people and animals, with reports of unusual lights.
• Bobrovik village (Belarus): Known for poltergeist activity, spontaneous combustion, and celestial glows.

Tibetan Mysteries and Ancient Civilizations

An article titled "Тайны Тибета" (Mysteries of Tibet) reports on an expedition led by Professor Ernst Muldashev. The expedition allegedly discovered caves containing four-meter-tall 'Atlanteans' in a state of deep meditation, believed to be guardians of humanity's genetic heritage. Professor Muldashev reportedly gained access to a chamber where these beings were observed. The article also touches upon the theory that humanity originated in Tibet and discusses the 'special people' who guard these secrets and possess telepathic abilities.

The 'Absolute' Concept and the Origin of Life

An article titled "Идея 'Абсолюта'" (The Idea of 'Absolute') by V. Narcissov proposes a theory about the origin of life. It suggests that plasmoids, invisible ionized gas, are older than organic matter and that life evolved from them. The 'Absolute' is described as a cosmic information system or a plasmoid computer. The theory posits that life can exist in plasma, liquid (protein), or solid (crystal) forms, and that humans are valuable to the cosmos as part of this evolutionary chain. It also suggests the possibility of replicating life from non-living matter and creating 'duplicates' of deceased individuals.

Healing and Paranormal Abilities

"Глаза, смотрящие "вовнутрь"" (Eyes Looking 'Inward') profiles Marina Lukonina, a bio-energy therapist who claims to heal various serious illnesses, including leukemia and cancer, through energy work. The article includes testimonials from patients who experienced remarkable recoveries under her care. Lukonina describes her abilities as inherited and discusses her capacity to diagnose and treat ailments at a molecular level.

Legal Case: Murder of Professor Zolotova

"Мягкий приговор" (A Mild Sentence) reports on the trial of three individuals accused of the murder of Professor A.V. Zolotova. Pavel Novinkov, Roman Bagashvili, and Ekaterina Pokrovskaya were charged with robbery and murder. Bagashvili was sentenced to 15 years for inflicting fatal stab wounds on the professor, while Novinkov received 9 years, and Pokrovskaya got a 2-year suspended sentence. The article contrasts the victim, a dedicated ufologist, with his perpetrators, highlighting the ongoing struggle between good and evil.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of UFOs, alien encounters, government secrecy, anomalous phenomena, and alternative theories of life and consciousness. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, often presenting controversial theories and eyewitness accounts. The publication actively solicits reader contributions and information regarding UFO sightings and crashes, aiming to compile evidence and challenge conventional explanations. There is a clear interest in the intersection of science, the paranormal, and potential extraterrestrial contact.

Upcoming Content for 1997

The magazine outlines its plans for 1997, promising articles by American ufologist Paul Stonehill, works by the founder of Russian ufology F.Y. Zigel, and contributions from other Russian and international researchers. It also intends to cover astronomy, meteoritics, adventure, parapsychology, and philosophy, along with translated materials from foreign ufological publications.

Video Offerings

The issue advertises several video albums on ufology, magic, and paranormal phenomena, available for purchase via mail order.
