Chetvertoye Izmereniye - 1999 No 01

Magazine Overview

This issue of 'ЧЕТВЕРТОЕ ИЗМЕРЕНИЕ И НЛО' (Fourth Dimension and UFOs), identified as №1 (136) and distributed freely, is dated 1999. Published by the Yaroslavl Public UFO Center, it focuses on a blend of ufology, esoteric knowledge, and discussions on consciousness.

Cosmic Tales and... Tall Tales

The lead article, 'Cosmic Tales and... Tall Tales,' by V.A. Raskostov, argues that ufology is a science with its own methodology and evidence. It asserts that UFOs are material, technological objects from elsewhere, not alien technology captured by governments. The author dismisses claims of captured alien craft and pilots, citing the lack of resulting technological leaps and the impossibility of maintaining such a secret. The article also posits the existence of 'energetic UFOs' composed of 'sublimated' intelligent matter that can pass through barriers and change form. The author strongly refutes the idea that governments possess alien technology, citing historical examples of espionage success and the unlikelihood of such a secret being kept.

The Tunguska Phenomenon as an Energy-Information Virus

The issue features a report from the VII Scientific Ufological Conference in Moscow (October 1998). A notable debate occurred between V.M. Privalova and V.Yu. Rogozhkin. Rogozhkin presented a theory that the Tunguska meteorite was an 'energy-information virus' that caused consequences still observed today, linking it to natural disasters and even human operations, which he deemed 'foreign intrusions'. Bulgarian ufologists, led by Alexander Vlakhov, presented a biofield diagnostic program using color matrices, which was demonstrated and is available online.

UFO-Kaleidoscope

This section presents several UFO sighting reports:

• Summer 1950: A cigar-shaped object, 6 meters long, was seen near Liiduvere, Estonia, with four short, hooded figures nearby.
• July 20, 1968: Three girls witnessed a cigar-shaped object land near their sports camp, emitting red-orange light, then transform into a disk and disappear. A humanoid figure was also observed.
• September 6, 1974: Scientific workers observed a UFO in the Caucasus mountains, described as a sphere on a disk with three legs. Approaching it caused one observer to lose consciousness and suffer mental disturbances.
• April 2, 1960: In Melbourne, Australia, a UFO was observed, described as a large, dark object.

Anomalous Zones: Wonders and Dangers

An article titled 'Wonders of Anomalous Zones' by A. Perepelitsyn discusses 'anomalous zones' (AZ) and phenomena like 'wandering' and disorientation. These zones are characterized by strange lights, unusual plant mutations, and altered states of consciousness. The author suggests that phenomena observed in AZ might be explained by distortions in space and time, possibly related to 'wormholes' or 'subspace tunnels', and that advanced civilizations might control these zones for travel. The article also touches on the possibility of these zones being 'bases for aliens' and discusses the potential for advanced technologies derived from studying them. The author calls for systematic research and sponsorship for AZ studies.

Human Consciousness and Spiritual Development

'The Spiritual Development of Man. A Virtual Attack on Subtle Planes, or On the Other Side of Consciousness' by V.A. Raskostov delves into the nature of reality, proposing three primary worlds: the energy-material world (EMM), the energy-information world (EIM), and vacuum. EIM is considered primary, containing information that shapes EMM. The article explains that human essence consists of an energy-material body (EMТ) and an energy-information body (EIT). The EIT is further divided into multiple subtle bodies, each vibrating at different frequencies. Spiritual development involves energizing these subtle bodies to perceive and interact with higher planes of consciousness. The article also discusses various states of consciousness, including normal, sleep, altered states (CSC), and pathological states, suggesting that CSC can lead to super-consciousness and extraordinary abilities.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of the unexplained, scientific inquiry, and esoteric philosophy. It promotes the idea that UFOs are real phenomena, likely technological in nature, and encourages a critical yet open-minded approach to investigating them. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting ufological research, exploring consciousness, and questioning established scientific and governmental narratives, while also cautioning against unsubstantiated claims and the potential for misinformation. The magazine also seems to advocate for a holistic understanding of reality, encompassing both material and energetic dimensions, and the potential for human spiritual growth.
