Magazine Overview

This issue of "ПРИРОДА И АНОМАЛЬНЫЕ ЯВЛЕНИЯ" (Nature & Anomalous Phenomena), issue No. 1 (34) from 1993, published by СП "РТМ-ДальСО Инжиниринг энд Констракшн Компани", delves into a variety of unexplained phenomena, with a prominent focus on the "Domovoi in the Army" and broader discussions on UFOs, ancient astronauts, and the nature of consciousness.

Domovoi in the Army

The lead article recounts several anecdotes from military personnel experiencing what they attribute to a "Domovoi" (household spirit). Major O. Mokhorov describes being choked in his sleep by a hairy, dog-like creature, waking to find red marks on his neck. Captain V. Kazak shares similar experiences of being suffocated by a "shaggy dog" in his dreams, which only ceased when he slept with the light on. Junior Sergeant D. Khudogonov, a medic, recounts a night in the infirmary where he and others communicated with an unseen entity through knocks, identifying itself as a "Domovoi" and demonstrating knowledge of past personnel.

UFOs and Ancient Astronauts

Several articles explore UFO sightings and theories of ancient astronauts. The piece "Fresh Look at the Ancient History with a Fish" questions the biblical story of Jonah, suggesting the "great fish" might have been an extraterrestrial submarine rather than a whale or shark. It posits that advanced beings from a high-pressure environment may have used the Sea of Galilee as a base.

Another article, "The Riddle of Samson," questions whether Samson was an extraterrestrial hybrid, citing his mother's encounter with an "angel" and Samson's strength derived from his hair. The article "Ancient Astronautics" discusses the hypothetical planet "Nibiru" (or "Marduk"), suggesting its gravitational influence could explain the Great Flood and other cataclysmic events.

"Mad Rumors" by Budd Hopkins

Budd Hopkins, a New York artist and researcher of alien abductions, contributes an article titled "Mad Rumors." He critiques the tendency for people to seek simple explanations for complex problems, citing conspiracy theories surrounding public figures and the alleged government cover-up of UFO information. Hopkins discusses the rise of paranoia and the consumption of sensationalized information, drawing parallels to historical periods of social unrest. He criticizes individuals like "Dr. Bronner" and William Cooper for promoting unsubstantiated theories and engaging in what he terms "paranoid thinking."

The "Noocosmosology" Program

An interview with S. Poddubny, director of the "Noocosmosology" research center, outlines the program's goals. Noocosmosology aims to study the Rational Cosmos and humanity's place within it. The center focuses on various anomalous phenomena, including UFOs, poltergeists, and psychic abilities, with the aim of developing safe contact protocols, understanding the nature of these phenomena, and potentially preparing humanity for interaction with extraterrestrial civilizations. The program seeks to integrate materialistic and idealistic scientific approaches.

Human Phenomenon and Its Connection to the Cosmos

This section discusses the phenomenon of yoga and its potential impact on human consciousness and health. It raises concerns about the misuse of psychotechnics in yoga, suggesting that while some seek spiritual enlightenment, others may experience negative physical and psychological consequences due to the manipulation of bioenergy systems. The article questions whether the pursuit of "higher consciousness" through yoga is a genuine advancement or a form of self-deception.

What Do the Military Know About UFOs?

This article examines military involvement in UFO research, citing historical incidents where military forces encountered unidentified objects. It discusses the challenges of investigating these phenomena and the secrecy surrounding military findings. The article touches upon the "Grid MO" program and the potential for extraterrestrial influence or aggression, referencing the discovery of unidentified objects and the ongoing debate about their origin.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of science, the paranormal, and esoteric beliefs. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, encouraging the collection and analysis of facts while acknowledging the limitations of current scientific understanding. There is a recurring theme of humanity's potential for spiritual and intellectual evolution, often linked to extraterrestrial intelligence or cosmic forces. The publication seems to advocate for a more holistic understanding of reality, integrating both scientific and metaphysical perspectives.
