Informatsionnyi Bulleten po Anomalnym Yavleniyam - No 29 - 1989

Magazine Overview This is issue number 9 from 1989 of the "Information Bulletin on Anomalous Phenomena" (ИБАЯ), published in the USSR. The bulletin covers a range of topics related to UFOs, anomalous phenomena, and related scientific research.

News of Past Weeks

Petrozavodsk Seminar on Anomalous Phenomena (September 18-20, 1989) The seminar focused on phenomena in the Perm anomaly zone, which was reported to be very active. V.I. Avinsky presented on the discovery by V. Tereshim of a 'magic crystal' – a pentagram at Stonehenge – which he claimed relates planetary sizes to mineral deposits, a concept of interest to the USSR Ministry of Geology. L.B. Borisova presented research using a biomagnetic pendulum to gather data on natural objects and processes, described as phenomenal. T.P. Reshetnikova discussed biorhythms and the effect of human psychic energy on plant chemistry, citing the theoretical work of Prof. Meriman. The author of the note presented two reports: "On the Zone of Life in the Galaxy" and "Venusians on Earth". The correspondent was V.B. Neiman from Moscow.

In Memory of V.B. Neiman This section is a tribute to V.B. Neiman, a correspondent for the bulletin who passed away. He is remembered as a dedicated scientist and natural philosopher who devoted his life to scientific inquiry and promoting knowledge. He was active in scientific seminars, prepared reports and lectures, and published scientific works. His hypotheses often sparked debate. He had previously published an article titled "Zones of Life in the Universe," exploring the possibility of higher civilizations. He remained committed to science until his death.

Reports and Sightings

Australia (October 17, 1989) Several dozen people near Melbourne observed a cigar-shaped UFO. A patch of flattened grass was found at the site.

FRG Conference on UFOs (October 29, 1989) A conference on UFO problems was held in Germany, attended by Soviet ufologist A.I. Mordvin-Godro. The president of IKU ONA (STA), Kolmen von Kevitsky, was also present.

Moscow Ufology Faculty

The first ufology faculty in the USSR has opened in Moscow, founded by V.G. Azhazha. More information can be found in the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" from October 7, 1989, which includes a photograph taken by I.B.A. editor V. Businsky.

Kyrgyzstan Section on Energy-Information Exchange (May 22, 1989) A special section for the problems of energy-information exchange in nature was established by the Secretariat of the Kyrgyz SSR Union of Scientific and Engineering Societies. The address for correspondence is: 720000, Frunze, Main Post Office, P.O. Box 2029, to M.S. Yeltsin.

Voronezh UFO Landing (September 27, 1989) A UFO landed in a city park in Voronezh at 18:20. Tall humanoids (up to 4 meters) emerged and collected soil samples. Details are in "Komsomolskaya Pravda" from October 12, 1989.

New Information on the Harovsk Phenomenon A woman in a red dress reportedly disappeared for a few seconds near a humanoid that landed in the Harovsk region on June 6, 1989. Children and the woman were hypnotized to recover memories. Ufologist M.A. Kelkhiker investigated. The children described the humanoids and their 'ship'. The woman remained anonymous. V.A. Rybnikov of the newspaper "Krasny Sever" expressed skepticism about the numerous accounts.

Harovsk UFO Sighting (June 1989) An eyewitness described seeing a fiery, egg-shaped object descend, change colors (red, black, iridescent, yellow, green), emit sounds, and then rapidly ascend. The object was approximately 1.5 meters in size, with a 0.5-meter flame at its base.

UFO over Venezuela (July 13, 1989) Thousands of residents in Barcelona, Venezuela, observed an unexplained phenomenon at 17:45 local time. A UFO emitting a bright orange light appeared on the horizon, hovered for about 10 seconds, had a cigar shape, and then disappeared. Radar stations at a local airfield did not detect the object.

UFO over Sevan (October 5, 1989) According to the newspaper "Trud," a large, glowing object was observed near Lake Sevan. It landed in a forest near a school, then took off and disappeared. A correspondent visited the site and found large pieces of black pumice, which have been sent for analysis.

Geochemical and Chemical Analysis of Soils from Anomalous Areas (Continuation) This section continues an article by N.N. Sochevanova. Electron microscopy of soil samples from Podrezkovo revealed hexagonal crystals not found in background samples. Possible causes include industrial pollution, object contact (e.g., gas emissions), or energetic воздействие. The latter is considered most likely, with comparisons to meteor impacts and underground nuclear explosions that caused changes in silica content. The article presents a table showing the percentage of SiO2 and Al2O3 in the samples, suggesting possible transmutation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance The bulletin consistently reports on UFO sightings and anomalous phenomena from various locations, primarily within the USSR but also internationally. There is a clear interest in scientific investigation, with mentions of seminars, research into soil anomalies, and the establishment of specialized faculties and commissions. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, while also acknowledging skepticism from some quarters, as noted in the Harovsk section. The passing of key figures in the ufology community is also noted, highlighting the dedication of individuals to the field.
