Article: "PRO ТО, КАК ЖИТЕЛИ ДЕРЕВНИ ХУДКОВО ЧУТЬ НЕ ПОХИТИЛИ НЛО !?" (About How the Residents of Khudkovo Village Almost Kidnapped a UFO!?)

This article recounts a UFO sighting that allegedly occurred on July 5th or 6th, 1997, around 7:15 PM in the Yaroslavl region, near the village of Khudkovo. The witness, V.I. Abrosimova, described seeing a glowing ball, about 50-60 cm in diameter, descend into a meadow. The object, described as salad-colored with a pearlescent sheen and a ring on its surface, frightened her goat. When several villagers approached it, they attempted to move it using a pole inserted into the ring. Suddenly, the object rapidly ascended, breaking the pole like a matchstick. The witness reported experiencing dizziness and a headache for two days afterward. The letter was sent to the Yaroslavl UFO center, and the article urges readers to provide any additional information about the incident.

Article: "МАГИЯ ОЛЕГА БРЫЛКИНА" (The Magic of Oleg Brylkin)

This section introduces Oleg Brylkin, a young man from the Chelyabinsk region of Russia, who is presented as an illusionist with abilities comparable to David Copperfield. The article mentions his ability to perform a "free flight" without special equipment and other tricks similar to Copperfield's. It references a statement by illusionist Igor Kio, who claimed he could fly higher than Copperfield for a large sum of money, implying that Brylkin's abilities might be genuine phenomena rather than mere illusions. The author appeals to readers in the Chelyabinsk region to help identify and study Brylkin, hoping he will contribute to Russian stage art and scientific potential.

Article: "ВОСПОМИНАНИЯ О НЕВЕРОЯТНЫХ КОНТАКТАХ" (Memories of Incredible Contacts) - Part 1

This article begins a series on alleged UFO encounters and government cover-ups in Russia. It suggests that secret services have long been involved in concealing the truth about extraterrestrial civilizations and UFOs. The narrative traces the history of secret research groups, starting with OKB-4 in Omsk during WWII, which was allegedly tasked with studying a captured unknown flying object found in Belarus. The article mentions key figures like Robert L. Bartini and Y.B. Rumer. It posits that this captured UFO was moved to various secret research sites, including Zhitkur (Kapustin Yar) and Odintsovo. The article also draws parallels between the work of OKB-4 and a group in Philadelphia involved in the "Philadelphia Experiment," suggesting a connection to non-linear electrodynamics and UFO research. It mentions the capture of UFOs in New Mexico in 1947 and the subsequent attempts by both the US and USSR to develop a unified field theory.

Article: "СОКРЫТИЕ НЛО В РОССИИ: НЛО : ЗАГОВОР МОЛЧАНИЯ" (Cover-up of UFOs in Russia: UFO: Conspiracy of Silence) - Dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of World Ufology

This extensive article details a purported conspiracy of silence surrounding UFO phenomena in Russia and the former Soviet Union. It begins by describing the establishment of secret scientific groups like OKB-4 in Omsk during WWII, allegedly to study captured extraterrestrial craft. The article claims that UFOs were recovered in various locations, including Belarus, Romania, Albania, and Bulgaria, and transported to secret research facilities in Zhitkur and Odintsovo. It suggests that the US President Harry S. Truman informed the USSR in 1952 about the development of ufology, leading to a global conspiracy of silence between the US and USSR starting in 1952. The article lists numerous alleged UFO crashes and retrievals in the USSR from the 1950s to the 1990s, including incidents in the Saratov region, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Poland, and Siberia. It mentions the involvement of prominent scientists and the difficulties faced in understanding and replicating alien technology. The article also touches upon alleged attempts by the US to obtain alien technology from Russia and the potential use of UFO technology in Soviet military projects like the "Buran" space shuttle. The author asserts that despite evidence, the Russian authorities continue to conceal the truth about UFOs.

Video Film Offerings

This section advertises several video films related to ufology and magic, including titles like "Three Hours of Wonder!" (UFO sightings, parapsychology), "UFO Video Album," "Guests from Eternity" (alien autopsy), "It Can't Be!?" (David Copperfield's magic), "Miracle Around Us," and films related to specific UFO incidents and anomalous zones. The films are available for purchase via mail order.

Back to the Future?

This is an advertisement for a video film titled "Back to the Future?" which reportedly presents evidence of extraterrestrial visits to Earth, including footage of people who claim to have encountered aliens in the early 20th century in the northern Yaroslavl region. The film also explores ancient alien sites and paranormal experiments.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea of UFOs as real phenomena and suggests a significant cover-up by governments, particularly in Russia and the former Soviet Union. It highlights alleged evidence of alien technology, crashes, and encounters, often framing these events within a narrative of secrecy and conspiracy. The editorial stance appears to be in favor of open investigation and disclosure of UFO-related information, criticizing the authorities for their alleged suppression of the truth. The inclusion of articles on illusionists like Oleg Brylkin, while seemingly unrelated, might serve to blur the lines between genuine phenomena and staged events, or perhaps to suggest that some extraordinary abilities could be rooted in unexplained phenomena. The magazine actively solicits reader contributions and information, indicating a desire to build a community around these topics.
