Informatsionnyi Bulleten po Anomalnym Yavleniyam - No 27 - 1989

Magazine Overview

This issue of the "Information Bulletin on Anomalous Phenomena" (№ 7, 1989, № 27) covers a range of topics related to UFOs, psychic abilities, and scientific investigations into unexplained phenomena. The publication is based in Yaroslavl, USSR.

News and Brief Reports

UFOs in the Vologda Region Recent reports in central newspapers like "Trud," "Komsomolskaya Pravda," and "Socialist Industry" detailed increased UFO sightings in the Vologda region during April-June 1989. Sightings were reported over Vologda and Cherepovets, with the most significant activity occurring in Kharovsk. Researchers from Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, and Yaroslavl were investigating these phenomena. The bulletin promised more detailed information in upcoming issues.

Parapsychology in the USA The Parapsychological Association of the USA was approaching its 20th anniversary. The field was supported by significant sponsors, including the Ministry of Defense, CIA, FBI, and NASA, with over a hundred organizations dedicated to studying anomalous phenomena. Psychics were held in high regard. A joint appeal by the USSR and USA to the world's scientists was mentioned, emphasizing the inadmissibility of using such knowledge against humanity, according to V.P. Kaznacheev.

All-Union Gravitational Society Established A conference on "Modern Theoretical and Experimental Problems of the Theory of Relativity and Gravitation" held in Tsakhkadzor led to the establishment of the All-Union Gravitational Society (VGO). Its charter was adopted, and leadership was elected, with V.N. Melnikov as President and K.A. Bronnikov as Secretary. Inquiries about gravitation could be directed to the VGO at the provided Moscow address.

Psychic Achievements and International Contacts

Juna Davitashvili, a renowned Soviet psychic, was awarded a gold medal for "Humanism" and an honorary diploma in Athens. She was also granted a doctorate by the "Alternative Medicine" international organization. The editorial board of the bulletin had established contacts with other countries and noted a fruitful development of ties with UFO specialists in the USA.

Lvov Psychic

While Holland officially had around 600 practicing psychics, the USSR was estimated to have tens of thousands, with only a few publicly acknowledging their abilities due to the era of glasnost. The bulletin highlighted Anatoly Alexandrovich Turov, a psychic practicing in Lvov. Turov had faced persecution during the stagnation period, with a criminal case opened against him. Testimonials from individuals like Nina Fyodorovna Shishkina and another unnamed person described Turov's remarkable healing abilities, including restoring sight to a child and alleviating severe arthrosis pain through 'bio-currents.' The latter testimonial emphasized the improvement in muscle elasticity and blood circulation, allowing the patient to discontinue medication.

Case of Evgenia Fyodorovna Ignatieva Evgenia Fyodorovna Ignatieva, a member of the Central Committee of the Food Industry Workers' Union and head of international relations, attested to Turov's healing powers. She stated that in a severe case, Turov achieved significant results, suggesting his ability to bring complete healing in initial stages of illness using the bio-currents from his hands. She advocated for creating conditions that would allow people to benefit from his abilities.

Observation by Yu.A. Smirnov In February 1987, Yu.A. Smirnov from Yaroslavl observed Turov's treatment of patients and noted his accurate remote identification of affected areas. During sessions, the natural radiation background near Turov's hands decreased. Turov himself described his ability to alleviate myopia, spasms, osteochondrosis, and nervous diseases, stating he could 'feel' the body's issues and correct them with his hands, though he couldn't fully explain the mechanism.

Geochemical and Chemical Analyses of Soils from Anomalous Areas

This section details the analysis of soil samples from various anomalous sites, including locations near Moscow (Podrezkovo, Novo-Ierusalimsky, Levkovo Gora, Rostorguevo), Borok in the Yaroslavl region, two sites in the Voronezh region, and one in the Kursk region (Tim settlement).

Methodology Soil samples were collected from the surface layer. The sampling points were chosen based on the location of biolocational anomalies. Samples were subjected to semi-quantitative spectral analysis using DFS-8 and DFS-13 spectrographs. The analysis focused on identifying 39 elements, with significant findings usually noted for 25-28 elements. The analysis was conducted in the spectral laboratory of the Bronnitskaya Geological-Geochemical Expedition.

Podrezkovo Findings At the Podrezkovo site, a significant contrast was observed between samples from the central anomaly and background samples. The central samples showed higher concentrations of manganese (17 times), lead (14 times), yttrium (10 times), titanium (8.5 times), vanadium (7 times), and cobalt (4.5 times). Barium, zinc, tin, and niobium were also 2-4 times higher. These differences were considered statistically significant.

Elemental Concentration Table A table presented specific elemental concentrations. For manganese (10-2%), background samples showed 2-5, while central samples had 10 (fraction < 0.25 mm) and 50 (fraction > 1 mm). For lead (10-3%), background was 1-3, and central was 15 and 30. For yttrium (10-4%), background was 2-5, and central was 15 and 30.

Further Analysis Following the spectral analysis indicating increased element concentrations, the samples were sent for silicate chemical analysis to determine which elements decreased. The results were described as "completely unexpected" and were to be continued in a later issue.

Announcements

Juna Davitashvili's Public Appearances In Moscow, Juna Davitashvili was giving evening talks on her non-contact massage technique and teaching necessary methods at Starokoniushenny Lane on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. A cooperative named "Nyanyushka" at Vakhtangova Street, Apt. 29, Moscow, offered training in manual therapy taught by Davitashvili.

Magneto-recording Offer Individuals interested in receiving a postal recording of an interview with Yu. Smirnov and psychic A.A. Turov, approximately one hour long, along with a recording of a telepathic healing session by A.V. Chumak, could send a postal order for 5 rubles 50 kopecks to Yu.A. Smirnov at the bulletin's address by the end of 1989. Recordings would be made on a two-track reel-to-reel tape recorder.

Article Submission An article by Yu. Belikov titled "Anomalous Zone" was to be attached to the bulletin.

Young Guard Article: Anomalous Zone

This section, published in "Molodaya Gvardiya" on November 27, 1988, details the experiences of geologist and ufologist Emil Fedorovich Bachurin in the Molëbka anomalous zone.

The "Tam, Tam, Tam!" Incident Local workers fled the area after experiencing a strange phenomenon, described as "Tam, tam, tam!" by one of them.

Bachurin's Observations in 1983 Geologist E.F. Bachurin, hunting in the Kyshtymsky district, observed unusual behavior in large animals (moose galloping, wolves absent, bears in a trot). He also witnessed a bluish-violet glow in the form of a hemisphere. He located the source of this phenomenon in a clearing. The grass in a circular area, 62 meters in diameter, was flattened and dried as if by a giant iron. Soil and grass samples were taken. Analysis revealed elevated levels of zirconium, rare earth elements, yttrium, and scandium. Bachurin's mechanical watch also lost 1.5 hours during this time.

Expedition to Molëbka

Subsequent expeditions to the Molëbka anomalous zone, involving researchers from Gorky and Perm, were led by Eduard Andreevich Ermilov. Using biolocation, other instruments, and visual observations, they confirmed the area's geological and cosmic anomaly. They identified numerous rounded energy traces attributed to UFOs. Photographers Vladimir Proshkin and Alexey Chudakov developed a method for night panoramic photography of the anomaly, capturing strange energy spheres nicknamed "oranges." These spheres were theorized to be scout probes or mobile beacons.

Incident with "Shurf" During one expedition, two members of the group experienced severe headaches after spending time near a carefully covered pit, or "shurf." Bachurin located this site and noted that his biolocation рамки (rods) indicated an orientation not only horizontally but also vertically towards the North Star. He speculated that the individuals had received an "energy charge."

Photographic Evidence and Contactee Status Photographs taken during night shoots revealed semi-transparent spheres of a perfect circular shape. Bachurin experienced a severe eye hemorrhage shortly after the film was developed. According to Dr. J. Allen Hynek's classification, Bachurin was considered a "contactee" due to his proximity to these objects, and the eye hemorrhage was potentially linked to this exposure.

The "Anomalous Zone" and Official Silence The author, Yuri Belikov, reflects on the suppression of information regarding UFO phenomena in the USSR, questioning the reasons behind the negative publications and the lack of domestic reports compared to foreign ones. He concludes by posing questions about the purpose of the UFO phenomenon and what "they" want from humans, urging readers to contemplate these issues.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The bulletin consistently focuses on anomalous phenomena, particularly UFO sightings and the abilities of psychics. There's a clear interest in documenting and investigating these events, often highlighting scientific attempts to understand them through methods like geochemical analysis and biolocation. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging the exploration of these phenomena while acknowledging the lack of definitive explanations and the potential for official skepticism or suppression of information. The publication also emphasizes international cooperation and the recognition of psychic abilities, as seen with Juna Davitashvili's accolades and the establishment of the All-Union Gravitational Society.
