Informatsionnyi Bulleten po Anomalnym Yavleniyam - No 09 - 1987

Magazine Overview

This document is issue number 9 of the "KUTS Information Bulletin" from 1987. It contains several reports on unexplained phenomena, including a poltergeist case, a UFO sighting, and evidence of the Yeti.

Poltergeist Case in Enakievo

The bulletin reports on a letter sent by the USSR Academy of Sciences (AN USSR) to the Yenakievo city executive committee regarding a poltergeist phenomenon in the apartment of the Konratyev family. The letter, dated April 23, 1987, from the Department of Theoretical Problems (OTP AN USSR), discusses events that occurred between April 16 and April 22, 1987. These events were also featured in the "Izvestia" newspaper on April 11, 1987. The discussion included A.V. Konratyeva and her son A.N. Konratyev. Preliminary findings suggest these events might be classified as known natural phenomena termed "poltergeist" or "spontaneous telekinesis," which have been observed in various countries and recently in the Moscow region. Employees of OTP AN USSR, such as V.T. Isakov, are investigating these phenomena. Their preliminary conclusion is that the cause might be special spontaneous states of the participants, influenced by external physical and psychophysical factors. Observations indicated that the behavior and condition of A.V. Konratyeva and A.N. Konratyev showed no specific deviations from generally accepted norms. The laboratory head, M.M. Kononenko, signed off on this report.

A brief summary of publications about the "Enakievo wonder" is also provided, citing articles from "Izvestia," "Social Industry," "NTR," and "Trud." The bulletin recommends William J. Roll's book "The Poltergeist" for a detailed study.

UFO Incident in Iran

A confidential teletype message reports a UFO observation from September 19-20, 1976, near Tehran, Iran. Four phone calls were received from residents reporting strange objects in the sky, described by some as bird-like and by others as helicopters with lights. A pilot from the Shahrkhi airbase was dispatched in an F-4 "Phantom" to investigate. Upon approaching the object, which appeared larger and brighter than a star, all instruments on the F-4 failed, and communication was lost. The pilot aborted the intercept and returned to base. A second F-4 was launched at 01:40. The radar operator detected the object 50 km away, approaching the fighter jet at 250 km/h. When the distance reduced to 45 km, the object began to move away at a speed that kept it at the radar's maximum range. Its size on the screen was comparable to a Boeing 707. The object emitted a light that pulsed like signal beacons, changing color from green-blue to red-orange. As the F-4 and the object moved south of Tehran, another luminous object separated from the first, with angular dimensions from half to one-third of the Moon. This smaller object headed directly towards the F-4 at high speed. The pilot attempted to fire an AIM-9 missile, but the control panel malfunctioned, and both VHF and internal communications were lost. The pilot decided to turn back to escape pursuit. While the F-4 turned, the object followed at a distance of 5-6 km, then entered a loop described by the fighter jet. The second object then rejoined the first. Shortly after, a third object appeared from the side of the first and descended rapidly. Communications and the missile control panel on the F-4 were restored. The crew observed the object descending towards the ground, expecting an explosion. However, the third object landed softly, illuminating the area for 2-3 km. The F-4 descended to 15 km to continue observation. The aircraft experienced further instrument problems, including a malfunction of the night vision device, forcing the crew to prepare for landing. As the F-4 began its final descent, the crew noticed another cylindrical object approaching the landing "T" marker. A request to the control tower revealed no known aircraft in the area. The object passed over the F-4, but was not seen from the tower. However, it was later spotted between the city and an oil refinery. The F-4 crew was taken to the site, believed to be a dried lakebed where the third object had landed. No traces were found, but residents reported hearing a loud noise and seeing bright flashes of light. The Iranian government requested comments from the USSR and USA. The USSR government forwarded the inquiry to Academician Petrov, Chairman of Interkosmos, who sent it to F.Yu. Zigel's group. Additional information was received: two anthropomorphic beings, 2.5-3 meters tall, wearing metallic suits, emerged from the 4.5-meter diameter object that landed near Tehran. One of the beings addressed the local residents in an unknown language before they returned to their craft and departed. The ground indentations indicated the object's mass was approximately 8 tons.

Special correspondent V.B. Neiman also provided a photograph for this report. Another photograph shows a hole in V.B. Neiman's window glass, which appeared on September 28, 1985, and was jokingly called a "signal from a UFO." Both photos will be included in a future issue.

Announcement

The bulletin announces a subscription drive for the "KUTS Information Bulletin," with subscription rules detailed in issue No. 1 of 1987. Readers are encouraged to subscribe and to recommend it to friends and colleagues.

Urgent Report: Yeti Sighting

An urgent report, based on information from Agence France-Presse, states that Austrian alpinist and photographer Klaus Neier has taken a series of color photographs of the legendary Yeti. The footprints left by the creature measured 37 cm in length and 17 cm in width.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The bulletin consistently focuses on unexplained phenomena, presenting reports and investigations into events that challenge conventional understanding. The editorial stance appears to be one of documenting and exploring these phenomena, often citing scientific bodies like AN USSR and encouraging further investigation and reader engagement through subscriptions. There is a clear interest in UFOs, poltergeists, and other anomalous events, with a tendency to present detailed accounts and encourage readers to seek more information.
