Informatsionnyi Bulleten po Anomalnym Yavleniyam - No 17 - 1988

Magazine Overview

This issue of the "Informational Bulletin KUTS" (Issue No. 7, 1988, Volume 17) is a Russian-language publication focused on UFO phenomena, scientific anomalies, and related conferences. The cover headline highlights "Brief Messages. News."

Conference on Earth's Shells and Their Interaction

A conference was held in Leningrad from June 8-10, 1988, titled "Earth's Shells and Their Interaction," commemorating the 125th anniversary of academician V.I. Vernadsky. The organizing committee included academician A.F. Treshnikov as chairman and Yu.M. Raitarovsky as scientific secretary. The conference took place at the Leningrad Geographical Society and addressed topics such as Earth's shells and geospheres, their interaction at atomic, molecular, and mineralogical levels, and the geological impact of human activity on the noosphere. Several reports touched upon the problem of UFOs (referred to as 'ВЦ' - внеземные цивилизации, or extraterrestrial civilizations), including presentations by Yu.M. Raitarovsky on "The Prevalence of Intelligence in the Universe," G.I. Lisov on "The Problem of Extraterrestrial Civilizations in Cultural and Psychological Aspects," and B.K. Fedyushin on "Interstellar Flights and Extraterrestrial Civilizations." A collection of abstracts from the conference was published.

Reorganization of the All-Union Council of Scientific and Technical Societies

In Moscow, the All-Union Council of Scientific and Technical Societies (VS NTO) underwent reorganization. Previously operating under the status of VTsPS, it now functions under the Central Committee of the CPSU. The commission for UFOs (referred to as 'АЯ' - аномальные явления, or anomalous phenomena) remains within VS NTO but requires accreditation. Further information can be obtained by phone at 290-62-86 or 291-42-42.

Tsiolkovsky Readings

Participation in the Tsiolkovsky Readings requires submitting an official application to the organizing committee at the following address: 103 012, Moscow, Staropansky per., 1/5, Institute of History, Natural Sciences, and Technology. The phone number is 921-08-68. Responses, including invitations, will be sent by the end of August. Accommodation in Kaluga must be booked in advance.

Unusual Pillars near the Galapagos Islands

Divers near the Galapagos Islands discovered unusual pillars of translucent, glassy substance, approximately four meters high, on the shallow seabed. These pillars were colored light blue, pale pink, pale green, and milky white. Their surface possessed phenomenal hardness, resisting all known materials and tools, including diamond-tipped saws and corundum wheels. Attempts to break off pieces with small explosive charges were unsuccessful. A remarkable feature was a perfectly equilateral triangle, about 25 cm on a side, carved into the surface of one of the pillars. This report was sourced from the Japanese agency Kyodo Tsushin.

Tunguska Event Revisited

In late June, the APN news agency circulated an article by Alexei Borzenko titled "The Tunguska Explosion: New Facts for an Old Hypothesis?" The article suggests that a fragment of the Tunguska cosmic body may have been found in the Vashka region (referencing a previous issue of the KUTS Bulletin, No. 4, 1988).

Earth's Mysterious Moons

In 1967, American astronomer John Bigsby from California discovered ten small moons orbiting Earth with unusual trajectories. Calculations indicated that on December 18, 1955, nearly two years before the launch of the first satellite, these moons were part of a single celestial body. This date coincided with a flash in the sky recorded by astronomers.

Analysis of Unusual Material from Yaroslavl

Research conducted in Yaroslavl on an unusual material using secondary-ion mass spectrometry on a French "CAMEVA IMC40" installation yielded surprising results. The spectrum revealed all elements and isotopes of the periodic table, except for helium and iodine. A significant content of elements such as cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium, and gadolinium (heavy rare-earth elements) was noted. The material contained 3 isotopes of uranium, and research is ongoing.

The Dalnegorsk Phenomenon

On January 29, 1986, approximately 2 km from the settlement of Dalnegorsk in Primorsky Krai, a bright, self-luminous UFO ball was observed. Initially, it moved horizontally at a speed of about 100 km/h before descending and crashing on a hillside, causing a fire. Ten witnesses observed the event. The ball was red. An expeditionary team from 'AY' (Anomalous Phenomena) from Dalnegorsk discovered a 2x2 meter area with signs of high-temperature impact, covered in black ash. Within the ash, metallic droplets of lead, black glassy particles weighing up to 30 mg, and small, loose, "scaly" particles resembling "mesh" were found. Spectrochemical analysis of the samples confirmed the presence of complex chemical elements, including lead, silicon, iron, zinc, bismuth, and rare-earth elements (like praseodymium). The "mesh" particles exhibited superparamagnetic properties and contained a significant amount of organic matter. Most astonishingly, a quartz thread, 200 microns long and 15 microns thick, emerged from the structure of the "mesh." According to X-ray structural analysis, a gold wire ran through the center of this quartz thread. The 'AY' researcher from Dalnegorsk, V.V. Dvizhilny, stated that natural formations of quartz threads with gold are unknown, especially in this context. Researchers believe this material is the product of extraterrestrial technology. This summer, researchers from 'AY' in Tomsk are planning to visit the UFO landing site (believed to be a probe). This event was covered in the newspaper "Social Industry" on July 10, 1988.

UFO Sightings over Primorsky Krai and Japan

On November 28, 1987, 32 objects were observed over Primorsky Krai, in the Terneysky, Kavalerovsky, Olginsky, and Dalnegorsky districts. Some of these objects illuminated the ground with "hard light beams." A similar phenomenon was noted above the site where the red ball crashed. All objects moved towards Japan. Two objects passed over Olga Bay, illuminating the village of Kamen-ka. Seventeen UFOs flew over Dalnegorsk. One large object hovered low over Dalnegorsk, appearing as a massive cylinder connected to a colossal sphere. Small red and yellow balls were observed on the upper and lower parts of the cylinder. The object hovered over School No. 27, near the "Lyubimka" kindergarten. A cone-shaped beam of light extended downwards from the object. A case was recorded of a person waiting at a bus stop losing consciousness after being hit by this beam. TV reception was disrupted for 2 minutes. The UFO then turned 90 degrees and flew towards the sea. Radar did not detect the objects, and light spots remained on the ground.

Photographic Evidence

Photo No. 1: A cloud-like UFO observed over Chad, Africa, on June 30, 1973. The UFO was sighted from a Concorde aircraft flying at an altitude of 17,000 meters. The distance between the aircraft and the UFO was estimated at 15 km, and the object's diameter was 200 meters. The object was photographed with a "Kodak Instamatic 804" camera at 150x magnification, with a shutter speed of 1/60 sec. The film used was "Ektachrome-X" color slide. This photo is a copy from KUTS special correspondent V.I. Golts.

Photo No. 2: One of the "dead humanoids" found after the UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico, USA. This was reportedly transferred to US President Eisenhower. (See KUTS Bulletin No. 8, 1987. Copy from KUTS special correspondent V.B. Neumann.)
