Informatsionnyi Bulleten po Anomalnym Yavleniyam - No 06 - 1987

Magazine Overview

This document is an issue of the informational bulletin 'ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫЙ БЮЛЛЕТЕНЬ КУЦ' (Informational Bulletin KUTs), issue number 6, from 1987. The cover headline is 'Краткие сообщения. Новости.' (Short reports. News.). The publication appears to be from Russia, originally in Russian.

Key Reports and News

UFOs and Anti-Gravity

A researcher from Dnepropetrovsk, A.V. Kulchitsky, has developed a project for a handbook on UFOs, proposing a method to alter weight using a device. This is presented as a way to understand the mystery of gravity. Specialists from the Los Alamos Laboratory in the USA have developed equipment for new anti-gravity experiments, planned for 1987-1988 at CERN's anti-proton accumulator.

Book Reviews

The bulletin mentions two books: Grigory's "Резервы человеческой психики" (Reserves of the Human Psyche), published by Politizdat in 1987, and V. Gakov's "Темна вода во облацех..." (Dark Water in the Clouds...), also from Politizdat in 1987. The latter book is noted for attempting to debunk the UFO problem.

Scientific Instruments and Experiments

A group from Volzhsk, including L.M. Shuter (Candidate of Chemical Sciences) and M.I. Struk (Candidate of Technical Sciences), has created an electronic device that automatically counts the rotations of a frame, with counts ranging from units to thousands. Material for this report is sourced from the 1985 work of the interdepartmental Commission on the BLÉ problem.

In experiments conducted by k.kh.n. L. Shuter, it was established that an experimenter exposed to a magnetic field loses their biolocational sensitivity to iron, magnets, and magnetic fields for up to one day.

Television and Research

Based on a request from Leningrad Television, search operations were conducted using BLÉ (likely referring to unexplained aerial phenomena or similar) to find 18th-century palace structures in the former Yekaterinhof district.

'Snow Man' and Expeditions

The magazine "Техника молодёжи" (Technika Molodyozhi - Youth Technology), issue No. 5 of 1987, featured an article by N. Nepomnyashchy titled "Существо" рождённое" лавиной" ("Creature" Born of an Avalanche"). The article includes a photograph of a snow man, taken by an amateur alpinist and physicist, Tony Wooldridge.

Preparations are nearing completion in Yaroslavl for an upcoming expedition to the Pamir-Alay mountains to search for the 'snow man'. The expedition's goals also include observations of UFOs. Departure is tentatively scheduled for August 2-3 of the current year.

An announcement invites those wishing to participate in the "Гиссар-87" expedition to the Pamir-Alay mountains to write to a specific address in Yaroslavl. The estimated departure is August 2-3 via airplane to Dushanbe. Exact flight dates and times will be published in Bulletin KUTs No. 7. Contact person is Yuri Alexandrovich Smirnov, with phone numbers and specific calling times provided.

Eyewitness Accounts

Chinese Sighting

According to the newspaper "Тэминь жибао" (Temin Zhibao), an object of an orange color, shaped like a straw hat, appeared at an altitude of 1000m over the village of Syan'er in Meishan County, Sichuan Province, China. It disappeared after half an hour. The phenomenon was observed by 20 people. One eyewitness, 17-year-old schoolboy Lo Jincheng, reported hearing "strange sounds" while the object was in the air.

Personal Encounter

An event from 1986 involving Lyubov Ivanovna Kazimirchuk from the Ivano-Frankivsk region, Rogatinsky district, village of Knyashychi, is described as a typical example of a paraphysical phenomenon. She reported waking up to the sound of a corridor door opening and heavy footsteps approaching her room. She saw a gray figure approaching her bed. She was unable to call out and hid under the covers. Later, she heard the door open and close again. She woke her sister, but her sister did not hear anything and did not believe her account. This occurred at 1 AM.

S.G. Geoletyan's Observation

S.G. Geoletyan recounts an experience where she believes "they" existed in her apartment for over a year, invisible and not appearing as humans typically do. She describes a terrifying, chilling knock at night and a loud metallic crash. She initially dismissed it as her cat knocking over a vase, but the vase was undisturbed the next morning. She questions if it was auditory hallucination, noting her mother, who has hearing difficulties, also woke up to the noise. She references a newspaper article about a boy who could inexplicably start fires and suggests "they" might be responsible. She concludes by stating she prefers to remain an observer.

On July 22, 1984, around 3 AM (local time, 1 AM Moscow time), she observed a glowing object, described as a trapezoidal figure, in her room. Later, around 2 AM, she saw a large, dazzlingly silver, cylindrical object, resembling a rocket, on a nearby hill. The object's construction was unusual, with one cylinder resting on another. She felt a sense of joy rather than fear, but was overcome with sleep. She notes that this experience was instantly recorded in her memory, unlike other events. The next morning, the cylinder was stationary, with no clouds or sounds. She did not see the sun or moon at the time and describes the experience as akin to hypnotic sleep. A drawing of the object is referenced for the next page.

Announcements

Expedition "Gissar-87"

An announcement invites interested individuals to participate in the "Gissar-87" expedition to the Pamir-Alay mountains. Participants are asked to write to a specific address in Yaroslavl. The estimated departure is August 2-3 via airplane to Dushanbe. Exact flight dates and times will be published in Bulletin KUTs No. 7. Contact person is Yuri Alexandrovich Smirnov, with specific phone numbers and available calling times provided (evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and daytime on Saturdays and Sundays).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around unexplained phenomena, including UFO sightings, potential anti-gravity technology, and personal encounters with the unknown. There's a clear interest in scientific investigation and expeditions to explore these phenomena, as evidenced by the reports on new equipment, planned expeditions, and the mention of interdepartmental commissions. The inclusion of eyewitness accounts, even those that are subjective or potentially hallucinatory, suggests an open-minded approach to gathering information on anomalous events. The bulletin also touches upon the human psyche and its potential, as indicated by the book mentions. The editorial stance appears to be one of documenting and disseminating information related to these often-unexplained occurrences, encouraging participation in research and expeditions.
