ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫЙ БЮЛЛЕТЕНЬ КУЦА

Magazine Overview

This issue of the "Informational Bulletin KUTs" (№4, 1988, №14) from Yaroslavl focuses on a letter from prominent Soviet intellectuals and reports on anomalous phenomena, including UFO sightings and the analysis of a unique metallic fragment.

Letter from Soviet Intellectuals

The bulletin leads with a letter from a group of distinguished Soviet intellectuals, including Academicians L.M. Leonov, B.A. Rybakov, I.V. Petryanov-Sokolov, D.S. Likhachev, and Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences V.L. Yanin, as well as twice Hero of the Soviet Union pilot-cosmonaut V.I. Sevastyanov, and Doctors O.A. Shvidkovsky, P.P. Reviakin, and Yu.V. Raninsky. They addressed their plea to higher authorities and the Yaroslavl Regional Executive Committee. The letter proposes a review and amendment of the general development plan for Rostov Veliky and its northwestern adjacent area, which historically housed the Trinity-Sergius-Varnitsky Monastery, the birthplace of Sergius of Radonezh.

• Their proposals include:
• Restoration of the monastery and adjacent structures.
• Creation of an open-air museum-reserve on the territory of a modern poultry farm.
• Modern presentation for tourist viewing of this historical site.
• Relocation of the international youth center "Sputnik" from the Rostov Kremlin.
• Establishment of an academic institute in Rostov Veliky.
• Recreation of the historical landscape.

The bulletin notes that these sites hold particular interest for extrasensory practitioners.

Rostov Veliky and Archaeophysics

Citing an article from the Yaroslavl newspaper "Severny Rabochy" dated December 15, 1981, the bulletin mentions work by extrasensory individuals from the Sverdlovsk Architectural Institute. These individuals reportedly searched for anomalies, including underground passages, voids, water sources, and archaeological burials in the Rostov Veliky area.

Furthermore, biolocation conducted by Moscow extrasensory practitioners B.I. Bodekin and A.I. Pluzhnikov near Varnitsy village indicated the presence of ancient archaeological burials beneath the ground. In the Church of the Resurrection and near the poultry farm, using biolocation frames, they detected ancient architectural burials.

UFOs and Anomalous Phenomena

The bulletin then shifts to reports of UFOs and anomalous energy phenomena. It describes a personal sensation of powerful, positive energy anomalies of the highest order, accompanied by feelings of spiritual elevation, freshness, and energy, and a tingling sensation. Contact of the "third kind" was reportedly made, and the biofield of Sergius of Radonezh was studied in these locations.

An expedition by the Yaroslavl group for studying anomalous phenomena in 1987 corroborated the Moscow researchers' findings, though no significant differences in subjective experience or mood were noted.

Russian UFO Recovery

Under the heading "Russians Captured a UFO" from foreign press, the bulletin reports that reliable sources claim Soviet authorities possess the bodies of two pilots from an interstellar craft. The bodies were described as small, almost childlike, with elongated arms and large heads, rough skin texture, large protruding eyes, and small mouths. Their uniform was of a specific cut, with shoulder insignia indicating rank (a triangle for one, a square with a circular emblem for the other). They wore no lower garments, and their skin was completely hairless. The male genitalia were described as analogous to human ones.

The UFO itself was reportedly undamaged and recovered by the Russians on February 17, 1979. It was tracked by radar over the Urals and subsequently crashed near Zhigansk, apparently due to malfunction, losing altitude rapidly. The report is attributed to T. Warner in "UFO Report," №6, 1979, pp. 34-37.

UFO Near Yaroslavl

In August 1987, around 9:30 PM, witness Levashov Priy Pavlovich, near the village of Vorobino, observed a plane that abruptly turned south and then sharply turned again to land. Shortly after, he heard indistinct sounds. His dog became unusually agitated and disobedient. Suddenly, Levashov and his wife saw a bright, horizontal light, like an electric welder's arc, moving across the field. Later, from the same field, he observed a gray, ellipsoidal object approximately 100 meters in diameter.

During the observation, bright direct rays, like searchlights, emanated from the object, illuminating specific spots on the ground before extinguishing and reappearing elsewhere on the object. This phenomenon lasted for about 20-30 minutes. The witness is convinced that the plane later turned precisely over the location where the object had appeared. Levashov, who works in fire protection, had not previously believed in UFOs.

Approximately one month later, the witness, along with A. Semenov and V. Musinsky from the Yaroslavl group for studying anomalous phenomena, visited the site. Unfortunately, the field had already been plowed by tractors, leaving no significant traces. Biolocation detected a narrow, long arc, approximately 100-150 meters in length, which operators identified simultaneously without prior coordination.

B. Musinsky's inquiry to the aerodrome management yielded no response.

Mysterious Fragments

In the summer of 1976, workers near the village of Erton in the Komi ASSR found a fist-sized, white stone on the bank of the Vashka River. When dropped, it emitted sparks. Specialists from the Institute of Geology of the Komi Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences became interested. The stone was then sent to various institutes and laboratories across the country.

Analysis revealed that the fragment possessed unique properties. It was determined to be an artificial alloy of rare earth elements, with a high concentration of cerium (67.2%) and lanthanum (8.78%), along with a smaller amount of scandium (10.9%), and traces of iron and chromium. Impurities included uranium and molybdenum, not exceeding 0.04%. The conclusion was that the alloy was of artificial origin, as such a combination of elements is practically unknown in nature.

The sample contained no oxide forms. While average uranium content in mountain rocks is 1 gram per ton, in these fragments, it was 140 times higher. No uranium decay products were found, further supporting its artificial nature. Notably, traces of calcium and sodium were entirely absent, which specialists claim is impossible to achieve with current technology.

The lanthanum in the fragment was in an ideally pure form. Experts concluded that the alloy was produced by cold stamping using a powder mixture under immense pressure, possibly tens of thousands of atmospheres. The magnetic properties of the fragment varied more than 15 times depending on the direction. Moscow researcher V.N. Fomenko suggested that such an alloy could be used for magnetic cooling to extremely low temperatures, just fractions of a degree above absolute zero. However, achieving these properties would require cold pressing in extremely strong magnetic fields, which are currently beyond Earth's technological capabilities.

At extremely low temperatures, this "Vashka metal" exhibits dielectric properties.

A photograph of a fragment of an analogue to the "Vashka find" is presented, donated to the Yaroslavl group for studying anomalous phenomena by Tula researcher L.A. Krul. Further details on this find will be published in subsequent bulletins.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of the bulletin strongly emphasizes the intersection of historical preservation, anomalous phenomena, and cutting-edge scientific inquiry. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-mindedness towards extraordinary claims, particularly concerning UFOs and unexplained materials, while also advocating for the scientific investigation and potential restoration of historical and potentially anomalous sites. The inclusion of a letter from prominent intellectuals suggests a desire to legitimize and promote research into these areas. The detailed analysis of the Vashka fragment highlights a focus on unexplained technological artifacts and their potential implications for future science. The bulletin aims to inform its readership about these intriguing subjects, bridging the gap between historical interest and the exploration of the unknown.
