Key Articles and Features

UFOs at Pulkovo Airport

The magazine details an incident on March 2, 1991, at Pulkovo Airport where air traffic controllers observed an unidentified object on radar for over an hour. The object displayed unusual characteristics, including erratic speed and movement, and was also visually sighted. The report includes commentary from an airport employee, Sergey Kotochigov, who describes the object's behavior and the confusion it caused among the staff. The incident involved the object appearing on radar as a passive mark, with its 'speed vector' constantly changing, and its location fluctuating between 63 and 71 km away.

Acknowledgment of UFOs by French Military

An article highlights a statement made in 1974 by the French Minister of Armed Forces, Galley, who officially acknowledged the existence of not only pilot testimonies but also objective observations of UFOs. This is presented as evidence that even high-ranking military officials were aware of and concerned about UFO phenomena.

'Under the Constellation of Leo' (Fragments from a book)

This section, excerpted from Igor Lisevich's book 'Were They on Earth?', explores ancient Chinese mythology, focusing on the figure of Huangdi. It suggests that Huangdi and his associates possessed advanced knowledge and technology, including astronomical observations, the creation of calendars, and the construction of 'wondrous tripods' and other devices. The text speculates on the technological capabilities of these ancient beings, drawing parallels to modern scientific understanding and UFO phenomena.

An Emergency Landing of a UFO on Heligoland

Robert Loftin's account, from his book 'Identified Flying Objects', describes a UFO that allegedly crash-landed on the island of Heligoland. Researchers reportedly found the craft's apparatus in good condition but discovered seven charred bodies nearby. The article suggests that the craft was equipped with magnetic impulse emitters capable of destroying glass, potentially explaining widespread car windshield cracking observed in the USA. The dimensions of the craft are given as 27.63 feet in diameter and 21.7 feet in cabin height.

The Mystery of a Photographic Plate

This article discusses an unusual event recorded on a photographic plate during astronomical observations at the Pamir station in Uzbekistan on October 10, 1989. An unidentified object appeared, exhibiting a strange trajectory that defied mechanical or optical explanation. The object was exceptionally bright, and its recorded movement was inconsistent with known celestial or atmospheric phenomena. The article questions the malfunction of the telescope's tracking mechanism.

Who Was Sirano de Bergerac?

This piece examines the lesser-known scientific and philosophical aspects of the 17th-century French writer Sirano de Bergerac. Beyond his reputation as a swordsman, Bergerac's writings, particularly 'A Voyage to the Sun' and 'The State of the Moon', reveal advanced concepts far ahead of his time. These include principles of rocket propulsion, theories on sound propagation, 'eternal' lamps, and descriptions of spacecraft that suggest an understanding of aerodynamics, gravity, and even space travel. The article notes his descriptions of weightlessness and the effects of acceleration and deceleration, suggesting personal experience or highly advanced knowledge.

Letters from Readers and Editorial Notes

The magazine includes a letter from V.N. Lakota, an engineer-electronics specialist, who presents a comprehensive theory he calls 'The Theory of Universal Equilibrium'. He claims this theory unifies various scientific disciplines and offers solutions to ecological and societal problems. He expresses frustration at the lack of response from the scientific community and offers to share his material.

The editorial section clarifies a translation error regarding Robert Loftin's book title and appeals to readers for information regarding the Heligoland UFO incident. It also provides subscription details for STALKER UFO magazine.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of unexplained phenomena, scientific inquiry, and historical accounts. There is a clear interest in validating UFO sightings through radar data and eyewitness testimonies, as well as in finding evidence of advanced technology in ancient civilizations. The editorial stance appears to be open to unconventional theories and encourages reader participation in the investigation of these mysteries. The publication aims to present a platform for discussing UFOs and related anomalies, bridging the gap between official scientific views and alternative perspectives.
