Seminar "Ecology of the Unknown" in Moscow

On November 24, 1989, a seminar titled "Ecology of the Unknown" was held in Moscow at the "Molodaya Gvardiya" publishing house. The event honored the memory of Soviet ufologist F.Yu. Zitel and was attended by approximately 400 people. Notable attendees included UFO researcher A.S. Kuzovkin, A.N. Pluzhnikov, I.M. Zenkin, A.V. Semenov, V.N. Fomenko, former pilot and UFO eyewitness V.I. Akuratov, Tatiana Zigel (daughter of F.Yu. Zitel), and Galina Zigel (wife of F.Yu. Zitel).

"Round Table" on UFOs at VDNKh

On October 14, 1989, a "round table" discussion on UFOs observed over the USSR in the current year took place at VDNKh. Several interesting reports were presented, including:

• A "hard light" beam focused from an object, observed on March 17 in the Perm Oblast.
• A 4-minute vertical hover of a spindle-shaped object, 40 meters long and 18 meters in diameter, observed on April 26 in Perm over a substation. Over 100 witnesses, including 42 who confirmed their accounts, reported this event.
• An investigation into the bottom of the Kama Reservoir after a spherical UFO submerged. Traces on the reservoir bed indicated the object's departure from the site of submersion. This was observed by a captain and his crew on the night of June 2-3.
• An incident involving a tall humanoid in silver-gray clothing passing through a wall, leaving a smeared trail (about a meter long) on the ground that persisted for some time after the humanoid disappeared. This occurred near the Dzerzhinsky District pioneer camp, close to Gusachka resort in the Perm Oblast.
• The discovery of rectangular landing traces (12x4 meters) on the Kama embankment in Perm, attributed to a cigar-shaped object with a red nose and white stern. This sighting was on May 16 in Perm.
• Claims by Perm ufologist E.F. Bachurin regarding a report by P. Mukhortov in the newspaper "Sovetskaya Molodezh".
• The emergence of three beings from an orange sphere in the village of Subbotino, Perm Oblast, on September 27.
• A severe case involving a student from the Perm Polytechnic Institute who fell into a coma after contact with a UFO and was hospitalized on September 30 in the 2nd Clinical Hospital in Perm.
• The five-day disappearance and sudden reappearance of a 58-year-old driver from the Kirovograd Oblast, who claimed to have been abducted by aliens and recounted his travels.
• The observation of a "cylinder" hovering over Rostov-on-Don, from which two women and six men in silver suits emerged via a cone-shaped beam.

The session concluded with ufologist, Doctor of Technical Sciences A.D. Listratov, presenting general conclusions on UFO-related issues.

Statement from the Perm Group

The UFO section of PKIA (Perm Center for Anomalous Phenomena) stated that events described in P. Mukhortov's publication in "Sovetskaya Molodezh" have no connection to reality in the anomalous zone near the village of Molebka. The SU PKIA requested that groups studying UFOs limit their expeditionary activities in this anomalous zone or at least coordinate their plans in advance with SU PKIA.

They reported approximately 20 UFO sightings and contacts of various kinds in the Perm Oblast from January 1, 1989, to the present. The Perm UFO section is distributing Jacques Vallee's book "Passport to Magonia" and E. Bachurin's "Commentaries" via mail order. They are also preparing to release X. Vallee's book "The Invisible College." Information requests and orders should be sent to SU PKIA at: 614004, Perm, P.O. Box 5344.

Seminar in Poltava

In June 1989, a seminar on bioenergetics was held in Poltava, attended by 300 people. G.P. Burtsev from Tomsk spoke about the healing effects of picturesque works. V. ShTAININGER claimed that specific movements can clear one's energy column. V.I. Krasnov from Ussuriysk demonstrated an "oderophon" device the size of a bar of soap, capable of filling spaces with energetically active aroma. The device can recharge psychics. O.A. Isaeva from Moscow's presentation referenced only foreign patents for biolocation devices, as the USSR's Institute of Patent Expertise does not consider applications for such devices.

Other UFO Incidents

Two More UFOs Shot Down

On May 7, 1989, interceptors detected and shot down two flying saucers over the territory of the KAR. One of them sustained minor damage and managed to land. Upon inspection of the craft, two living humanoids were found and immediately transferred to the USA for examination. This report is from "Sovetskaya Rossiya" dated October 17, 1989.

From the Materials of IKUFON

In Geneva, during a confidential 5-hour meeting on November 18-20, 1985, US President R. Reagan discussed the threat posed by UFOs, whose capabilities represent a global threat. President R. Reagan and General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee M.S. Gorbachev confirmed the statement regarding the deployment of their military forces to counter UFO incursions. The plan included: 1. Proving the existence of UFO forces. 2. Considering UFO forces as a defensive measure.

UFO Landing in Voronezh

On September 27, 1989, Vasya Surin (school № 82, Voronezh), Zhenya Blinov (school № 33, Left Bank district), Yulia Sholokhova, and 40 other adults witnessed a UFO landing in a park near the "Mashmet" stop. The children were playing football when, at half-past six in the evening, they saw a pink glow in the sky, followed by a red-burgundy sphere about 10 meters in diameter. The sphere hovered at a height of 12 meters, and the grass beneath it appeared to be flattened. The sphere soon departed. After a few minutes, the UFO returned and hovered over the park. By this time, adults had gathered. A hatch opened in the lower part of the sphere, and a three-meter-tall being emerged, wearing a silver jumpsuit and bronze "boots." It had a disc on its chest and three eyes. After surveying the area, the being closed the hatch, and the sphere began to descend, hitting a poplar tree which remained bent. The UFO landed. The hatch opened again, and two beings emerged. One humanoid spoke something, and a glowing rectangle, 30x50 cm, appeared on the ground. The visitor spoke again, and the rectangle disappeared. The humanoid fiddled with something on a robot's chest, and the robot began to move mechanically. At this point, one of the boys cried out in fear. The visitor looked at him, and the boy froze, unable to move. The visitor's eyes lit up. Everyone who witnessed the phenomenon began to shout. The sphere and the beings disappeared.

Contact near Yaroslavl

On October 15, 1989, Nikolay Pavlovich Slezkin, a resident of Yaroslavl, went hunting in the village of Shepelevo, about 5 kilometers from Karabikha. By 6 PM, it was dark, and it was drizzling. Suddenly, Slezkin saw a sphere emerge from the clouds (cloud cover at 150 meters, according to the Yaroslavl Hydrometeorological Bureau) and begin to descend. The sphere, about the size of a 5-story building, descended over the witness. Slezkin mentally addressed it: "I am just a hunter. Let each of us go our own way." At that moment, a firm wave struck his head, his vision darkened, and "electronic arrows" began to circle inside his head. Slezkin lost consciousness. When he awoke, he was on his feet, and the sphere was rapidly ascending and disappearing into the clouds. A wound appeared on his left hand. On November 26, the witness underwent deep hypnosis, which added details to the unusual incident. (Those wishing to receive a magnetic tape recording of Slezkin's account under hypnosis can send 15 rubles to the information bulletin with the note "Hypnosis." The recording lasts 1.5 hours on a two-track tape recorder. The tape is of the best quality.)

Geochemical and Chemical Analyses of Soils from Anomalous Areas

Borok Area

In the Borok area, identified by biolocation, elevated levels of six elements were noted: titanium, manganese, gallium, scandium, yttrium, and lanthanum.

Rastorguyevo Area

Upon approaching the epicenter of a significantly large (120x70 m) central spot, the concentration of silver increased fivefold, lead, zinc, and copper threefold, and tin, molybdenum, and scandium twofold compared to the background levels. A decrease in gallium and niobium was also observed.

Levkogora Area

The first soil samples taken from this area showed no differences in spectral analysis between the background and the central spot.

Novo-Ierusalimsky Area

This area showed no differences in spectral analysis of samples taken from within the anomalous spot and its flanks.

Main Conclusion: The analysis of the content of various elements in the soils of anomalous areas is an objective method for determining the differences between the central spot and the background.

Announcements

Announcement

Polish ufologist Jan Pajak, residing in New Zealand, has concluded that a UFO, similar to the Tunguska event, once crashed on the territory of Ukraine. He is asking Ukrainian ufologists to help him find relevant materials in the archives. He wishes to correspond with USSR ufologists and is willing to share materials about the New Zealand crash. Materials should be sent to their group.

Bronislaw Rzepetski from Poland announced that a seminar on UFOs will be held in Krakow, Poland, in May 1990.

Subscription Information

Subscriptions for IBAЯ are ending. Those who wish to receive the information bulletin by mail should send a postal order for 10 rubles. The bulletin is published 10 times a year. Starting in 1990, subscriptions will be renewed.

Photo

A photo from Dalnegorsk, magnified 100 times, allegedly shows the wreckage of a UFO that crashed on January 29, 1986, in the Primorsky Krai. The image reportedly shows a quartz filament 17 microns thick and 200 microns long. Inside, there is a wire made of pure gold. The photo is from the report of V.V. Dvizhilny.

Issue № 10 of IBAЯ was delayed due to the fault of A.V. Pyatkin, the former head of the "Kontakt" cooperative.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, encounters, and research within the USSR, with a particular focus on the Perm region. The bulletin also touches upon the potential global threat of UFOs, international cooperation (or lack thereof) in UFO research, and the scientific analysis of anomalous phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of documenting and disseminating information about UFOs and related anomalies, while also maintaining a critical perspective, as evidenced by the statement from the Perm group regarding inaccurate reporting.
