M-skyi treugolnik - No 14 - 1991

Magazine Overview

This issue of "M-sky Treugolnik" (№ 8 (14), 1991) is a Russian-language informational bulletin focusing on anomalous phenomena, ufology, and energy-informational exchange, published by the Latvian Association of Ufology and Energy-Informational Exchange. The cover prominently features the headline "Sterlitamak Keeps a Secret," hinting at a central investigation into a mysterious event.

The Sterlitamak Mystery

The lead article, "Sterlitamak Keeps a Secret," by special correspondents Tatiana Odynya and Alexander Bulygin, revisits the incident of May 17, 1990, near the central estate of the "Sterlitamaksky" collective farm. An unusual nocturnal event, initially attributed to a meteorite, had caused a stir. The article details the discovery of a large crater, over twenty meters deep and about a hundred meters in diameter, located about 20 kilometers from the industrial city of Sterlitamak. The object was registered as meteorite No. 180 and was considered the second largest found in Russia. Despite extensive excavation efforts lasting nearly a year, the main body of the object remained undiscovered, fueling alternative theories.

Witness accounts are presented, including those of local residents and children. Insaf Fatkhulin and Radik Talachev reported seeing a flying object with sparks that seemed to 'jump' after landing before exploding. Their observations led to a professional investigation involving photographers and KGB personnel. Photographer Oleg Mashkovsky recounts how the object appeared to flash lights and move horizontally, disappearing when the group approached. Other witnesses described the object's trajectory as unusual, with swaying and wave-like movements, suggesting controlled flight rather than a ballistic trajectory.

The article contrasts the official 'meteorite' version with the observations of ufologists. It mentions that while geologists initially identified the object as a space visitor weighing around one and a half tons, the ongoing excavation has failed to yield the main mass. The size and composition of fragments found (iron and nickel) are noted. The article also highlights the discrepancy between the official explanation and witness claims of a controlled, possibly intelligent, flight.

Further adding to the mystery, the article includes accounts of multiple UFO sightings in the Sterlitamak area before and after the main event. Three boys from the collective farm reported seeing a white ball, the size of a football, which they tried to 'catch' like pincers. They described it as moving towards one of them before they fled. The next day, they returned to the area and saw a 'flying saucer' with illuminators.

Photographer Mashkovsky and his colleague Gennady Ivanov conducted preliminary investigations. They describe seeing a glowing object and later, two giant light domes in the western sky. The article questions the official explanation, noting that the object's behavior and the subsequent UFO sightings suggest something more than a natural phenomenon.

Expedition to the Mountains: 'Inhabitants of the Gods'

Part two of the expedition report, "Mountains – Dwelling of the Gods" (Expedition to Shambhala) by V. Paramonov, details the experiences of an expedition group in mountainous terrain. The narrative, presented as a diary, chronicles daily events, psychological states, and perceived paranormal phenomena. The group encounters difficulties with weather, including mudslides and heavy rain. They discuss plans, experience intuitive channelings, and note changes in group members' psychological states, including fear and disorientation.

One entry describes an incident where Sergey (O) felt struck by 'lightning' and enclosed in an 'energy egg.' The group also discusses the influence of 'negative energy' and their efforts to combat it through 'energetic work.' Birthdays are celebrated, and the group receives messages through 'channels.'

The expedition members report various unusual experiences, including feeling a 'different world,' experiencing 'energy flares,' and seeing a 'cigar-shaped UFO' with unusual contrails. There are mentions of a 'hermit' entering a rock and a 'golden triangle' with a 'golden sphere' appearing in a channel.

The group explores areas described as having 'snow-like human' tracks and a potential 'cosmodrome.' They face challenging terrain, including steep slopes and scree. The narrative includes descriptions of strong energy fields and unusual geological formations. The expedition members also discuss dreams and visions, including encounters with a 'monk,' a 'golden ball,' and an 'Egyptian boy-apprentice.'

Upon returning to the base camp, some members depart, leading to feelings of sadness. The report mentions encounters with a 'beautiful woman in a white dress' and a 'black glove' holding a 'four-sided star' that transformed into a 'white swan.' The group also observes a 'rhombus-shaped UFO' of red color with yellow spots.

Sounds of Apparitions in Our Brain

This article, attributed to G. Krokhalev, explores the phenomenon of auditory hallucinations, presenting a psychiatrist's perspective that these are real physical occurrences, not necessarily signs of mental illness. The author discusses how tiny semiconductor alloys in teeth can act as receivers for radio signals, converting them into sounds perceived by the brain. The article cites examples of people hearing voices or music without external sound sources, even those with impaired hearing.

It references research by I. B. Litinetzky and Henry Puharich, suggesting that electromagnetic waves can directly affect brain neurons. The article posits that human ears can function as both microphones and 'brain radios,' capable of receiving and transmitting signals. The author draws parallels between these phenomena and the experiences of psychically ill individuals, proposing that auditory hallucinations might stem from real acoustic perceptions stimulated by electrical (electromagnetic) brain oscillations.

Wonders of All Times

This section features a brief note on astrology in ancient Egypt, where the human body was divided into 360 parts corresponding to cosmic alignments. It also includes a reproduction of a 15th-century drawing illustrating astrological correspondences with body parts.

The Riddle of Zone 'M'

This section presents a collection of letters from readers discussing the disappearance of a soldier named Valedzhi D. from a zone designated 'M' in the Latvian Republic. The letters offer various theories, including abduction by aliens from a parallel world, involvement of a 'snow-like human,' or the influence of UFOs. One letter from A. Kabanov suggests Valedzhi D. is on a planet called 'Sharan' 30 million light-years away and will be returned to Earth, possibly in a different body. L. K. Samokhvalova from Kaliningrad claims Valedzhi D. has fulfilled his karma and was taken by aliens for transformation into the '6th race.'

N. Zaitseva, a psychologist from Kiev, reports receiving a psychic signal indicating Valedzhi D. is alive and being cared for by a 'mysterious creature.' The editorial notes that while many versions seem fantastical, they are published in the hope of shedding light on the disappearance.

'I Saw a House'

This personal account by I. Paramonov from Jurmala describes a vision of a house, a black liquid spreading on a black object, and a series of numbers. The author interprets these elements as symbolic, suggesting the house represents where the soldier was last seen, the black liquid signifies death, and the numbers relate to dates and locations.

About the Elderberry, the Kiev Uncle, and the 'Snow Man'

This article by Maya Bykova critically examines the concept of the 'snow man' or Bigfoot. Bykova argues that many sightings are misinterpretations of phenomena, including UFOs, and that attributing them to a 'snow man' is often unfounded. She suggests that the term 'snow man' is used loosely to describe various anthropomorphic creatures, and that the focus on such beings distracts from real issues, like the disappearance of Valedzhi D. Bykova criticizes ufologists for what she perceives as sensationalism and a lack of scientific rigor, advocating for a more grounded approach to investigating anomalous phenomena.

'Your Newspaper Is Needed'

This section is a review of reader letters, highlighting the diverse readership of "M-sky Treugolnik," which includes scientists, engineers, workers, and students. Many readers express strong interest in ufology and paranormal phenomena, actively participating in research and sharing their experiences. The letters reveal a desire for more in-depth information, constructive criticism regarding the magazine's regularity and price, and suggestions for future content. Some readers advocate for a broader scope, including topics like occultism and philosophy, while others prefer a more focused approach on UFOs. The section also includes a letter from a reader in Orsha, Yuri Apanasenko, who claims to be able to sense and manipulate biofields, and receives advice from a specialist on the potential dangers of intervening in others' energy fields.

'I Have Big Claims'

This section features a critique by ufologist V. Azhazha regarding the editorial standards of "M-sky Treugolnik." Azhazha expresses concern about the lack of scientific rigor in some articles, particularly those related to Agni Yoga and unverified claims. He emphasizes the need for scientific evidence and careful editing, suggesting that the magazine could benefit from collaboration with scientific experts. He also criticizes the conflation of ufology with other phenomena like Bigfoot and lake monsters, stressing that ufology is a science requiring a distinct approach.

'Words of Truth!'

This is a brief, critical statement by ufologist Boris Shurinov, who distances himself from the magazine, calling it a "sensationalist publication" with no "words of truth" and no connection to the world of anomalies or ufology.

Great Contactees of the Past: Paracelsus (1493-1541)

This biographical article details the life and work of Paracelsus, a Renaissance physician, alchemist, and astrologer. It covers his unconventional medical practices, his expulsion from universities, his travels, and his theories on the human body as a microcosm reflecting the macrocosm. The article highlights his concept of 'Arceus' (the 'hidden man' or vital principle) and his belief in the influence of cosmic and psychic forces on health. It also touches upon his alchemical pursuits and his philosophical views on the nature of reality and human consciousness.

Wonders of All Times (Continued)

This section continues the discussion on anomalous aerial phenomena, referencing reports of phantom cities and villages appearing over Liverpool and Pomerania in the late 19th century. It notes that while astronomical and radar observations might detect such phenomena, current theories struggle to explain these visual apparitions.

UFO Kaleidoscope

This section presents brief accounts of anomalous experiences. One reader describes a 'hairy and heavy' entity that sat on him at night, scattering his belongings. Another reader shares an experience of a 'flying saucer' and 'alien beings' near Sterlitamak. A brief report from FRG mentions a rise in self-proclaimed witches and the bureaucratic challenges of regulating their activities. Another report from the Baikonur cosmodrome area describes a bright circle with four glowing spots observed in the sky.

Portrait Gallery of Humanoids

This section includes descriptions and sketches of various humanoid entities reportedly encountered. These include a humanoid with a third eye, a short, elderly-looking humanoid described as unfriendly and using a 'tubular weapon,' and a humanoid with green skin wearing a 'scaled jumpsuit.' Another description is of a crew member from a UFO who allegedly took a man to another planet.

Great Contactees of the Past: Paracelsus (1493-1541) (Continued)

This continuation of the article on Paracelsus delves deeper into his theories, particularly his concept of the 'three principles' (sulfur, salt, and mercury) and the vital force 'Arceus.' It explains his view of the human body as a microcosm influenced by macrocosmic forces and his belief in the power of thought and intention. The article touches upon his alchemical work and his views on the nature of matter and transformation. It also mentions his prophetic statements about the future understanding of 'occult' arts as natural phenomena.

Wonders of All Times (Continued)

This segment continues the discussion on aerial apparitions, referencing historical accounts of phantom cities and villages appearing in the sky. It notes the difficulty in explaining these phenomena with current scientific theories.

Great Contactees of the Past: Paracelsus (1493-1541) (Conclusion)

The conclusion of the article on Paracelsus emphasizes his role as a precursor to modern scientific thought, particularly in his understanding of the interconnectedness of matter, energy, and consciousness. It highlights his influence on later thinkers and his potential inspiration for literary figures like Goethe's Faust.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of science, spirituality, and the unexplained. It champions the idea that anomalous phenomena, including UFOs and psychic abilities, are real and worthy of investigation. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded, encouraging reader participation and diverse viewpoints, while also striving for a degree of critical analysis, as evidenced by the critiques of sensationalism and the call for scientific rigor. The publication aims to inform and educate its readers about the mysteries of the universe and the potential of human consciousness.

This issue of "M-SKY TRIANGLE" (Issue 11, 1991) is published by the Latvian Association of Ufology and Energoinformational Exchange. The magazine focuses on paranormal phenomena, ufology, and esoteric subjects, featuring articles on 'letters of happiness,' UFO sightings, and the nature of consciousness.

Analysis of 'Letters of Happiness'

The issue begins with a commentary by Agor A. on the phenomenon of 'letters of happiness.' These letters, often containing a formula of letters and mathematical symbols, claim to bring good fortune if forwarded to others within a specific timeframe. Agor A. analyzes the structure of these letters, suggesting the formula holds the primary energetic charge, while the accompanying text serves as an instruction manual. He proposes that the original intent might have been positive but that the transmission method is flawed, resembling dictatorial principles. He offers three alternative actions for recipients: discarding the letter in running water, visiting a place of worship, or using one's own energy knowledge to counteract its influence.

A Strange Case: Encounter on a February Morning

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a reported UFO encounter by Nadezhda Konstantinovna Soboleva in Vitebsk in February 1990. Soboleva, a teacher, described seeing a hovering, matte-colored spherical object that communicated telepathically. The object, described as changing size and extending tentacle-like appendages, appeared to study her. Soboleva welcomed the visitor, expressing her belief in extraterrestrial civilizations. The entity claimed to be from a constellation starting with 'A' and stated they chose her because she was receptive. Soboleva offered hospitality, but the entity departed. Following this encounter, Soboleva experienced temporary memory and vision problems, but later reported a streak of good luck in her life, which she finds unsettling as she doesn't want her life to depend on external forces.

The 'M-sky Triangle' and 'Contactee Illness'

The magazine also reports on the 'M-sky triangle' near Molebka village in the Perm region. Local residents have observed glowing spheres in the area, particularly in autumn. The article notes that while the region is ecologically clean and known for its healing properties, visitors to the 'zone' have reported unusual experiences. These include feelings of warmth, static electricity, headaches, and vivid dreams, especially in an area called 'Valley of Fear.' The authors, G. Berdyshev and V. Koblov, discuss 'contactee illness,' a condition characterized by changes in well-being, fatigue despite short sleep, and psychological disturbances, which they are investigating. They suggest that the area's potent natural healing factors might contribute to an adaptation of the local population to anomalous influences.

Deciphered Information from an Alien Sphere of Consciousness

An article discusses 'deciphered information' received by an expedition in the Pamir in 1983 from an 'alien sphere of consciousness.' This section delves into the concept of information theory, suggesting that the traditional alphabet, due to historical reforms that removed certain symbols, has lost its inherent order and harmony. The authors propose a 'Periodic System of Elements of the Word' (PSES) as a way to restore this order and prevent misinformation. They argue that a strict adherence to the original order and harmony of symbols is crucial for effective communication and for connecting with higher spheres of consciousness. The article posits that UFOs represent the '4th state of the surrounding environment,' a future evolutionary stage for human consciousness, and that connection with this state is vital for survival and immortality.

Alchemy: Wonders of All Times

Another section explores the esoteric aspects of alchemy, linking it to the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus and Gnostic symbolism from Alexandria. Alchemy is presented as a branch of astrology and magic, with the serpent being a prominent symbol, representing the cyclical nature of existence and hidden knowledge. The article references a painting by Pietro di Cosimo depicting Simonetta Vespucci with a serpent, illustrating this symbolic connection.

Reader Information and Corrections

The issue includes a section for reader contributions, announcing a contest for 'Strange Cases' extended to December 31, 1991, with prizes including money and subscriptions. It also provides details on ordering the magazine and submitting manuscripts. A correction is issued regarding an article titled 'Trap of Souls,' clarifying the authorship of a book and the author's intent to focus on issues rather than personal recognition. The magazine's printing and distribution details are also provided.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the paranormal, UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial contact, and consciousness. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting anecdotal evidence, theoretical frameworks, and historical perspectives. There is a clear interest in the potential for human consciousness to evolve and connect with other spheres of existence, often framed within a quasi-scientific or philosophical context. The magazine encourages reader participation and aims to disseminate information on these often-unconventional topics.
