Foreword

The foreword highlights that this fourth issue of "Tunnel" is dedicated to the materials of the 2nd All-Union Ufological Conference held in October 1991 in Moscow. It opens with an article by Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences O.V. Esterle from Almaty, who asserts that the essence of "anomalous" phenomena can only be understood by constructing a holistic scientific picture of the world. Esterle attempts to generalize the principles and laws of development known in natural and humanitarian sciences within the framework of "evolutionics." He suggests that absolute concepts are being replaced by relative ones in the process of cognition, leading to a revival of ether or physical vacuum models for explaining the physical picture of the world. He proposes a ring-shaped model of the universe and concludes that consciousness is not a passive reflection but an active influence on the world, exploring the mechanisms of interaction between mind, consciousness, and will with the physical vacuum that generate "anomalous phenomena."

Another article, by Doctor of Technical Sciences L.S. Pritzker from Almaty, focuses on the theoretical aspects of sensographic reproduction of invisible bioenergetic objects. Pritzker discusses the nature of sensographic images and provides practical recommendations for photographing invisible objects, including potential errors.

Doctor of Technical Sciences S.P. Polyakov from Cherkassy examines the "atric" model of matter structure, proposing two hypothetical particles as the basis of all matter: magnetic and electric "atrices" with infinitesimally small dimensions that oscillate continuously. This model, he claims, can explain phenomena like conductivity, superconductivity, electromagnetic induction, phase transitions, states of matter, solid-state construction, anomalous phenomena, and inertialess UFO flights.

A paper by Candidate of Technical Sciences A.V. Shabelnikov from Moscow attempts to explain UFO dynamics through gravitational radiation from celestial bodies, suggesting that gravitational waves significantly influence natural processes on Earth.

Interesting results from beam diagnostics of material samples collected from anomalous object impact sites are presented by O.D. Smiyan, N.A. Korsun, and S.O. Antonov from Kiev, detailing elemental and chemical composition and research methodology.

Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences V.I. Avinsky discusses paleoufology, outlining the problem, data selection methods, and analysis. He concludes that hypotheses about extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) positively influence society, science, and literature, aiding in solving earthly problems, and that the search for ETI and UFO identification is a matter of concern for all humanity.

S.N. Volkov, chairman of the UFOlogy and AЯ "Logos" club in Penza, analyzes the ufological situation in the Penza region during 1990-1991, reporting on local research and the existence of an anomalous zone.

Ukrainian researcher V.A. Buerakov addresses the possibility of physical-mathematical and experimental modeling of UFOs. Using the theory of continuous non-linear thermodynamics, he proposes a non-linear physical-mathematical model of the interaction between a strong electromagnetic field and the physical vacuum. A key finding is the effect of vacuum polarization and the self-closure of an electrostatic field in a finite region of space, which could make such an object appear as a typical UFO in a gaseous atmosphere.

Holistic Concept of the Universe - Key to Understanding "Anomalous" Phenomena

O.V. Esterle's article argues that understanding anomalous phenomena requires a holistic scientific worldview. He posits that the universe develops, and its fundamental laws are universal laws of development, including the principle of absolute relativity. He suggests that the ladder of creation is coiled into a ring, with matter and consciousness being a unified whole. Consciousness, he argues, is an active force that influences the world, not just a passive reflection. The concept of the "physical vacuum" or "ether" is central, with its "fibrous" structure potentially explaining various anomalous phenomena like telekinesis, levitation, clairvoyance, and UFOs.

"Anomalous" Phenomena - Myth or Reality?

This section discusses the wide range of phenomena considered "anomalous," including telekinesis, psychokinesis, telepathy, clairvoyance, biolocation, medical extrasensory perception, poltergeist activity, levitation, and UFOs. It contrasts the skeptical views of orthodox materialists, who dismiss such phenomena, with the enthusiastic, often unburdened, hypotheses of amateurs. The author positions himself as a researcher who believes that the current scientific worldview is incomplete and fragmented, and that finding a place for anomalous phenomena within it is a worthy scientific endeavor.

Is the Principle of Relativity Universal?

This section delves into the concept of relativity, tracing its development from Galileo and Newton to Einstein and Shipov. It questions whether anything in nature is truly absolute, suggesting that perhaps only relativity itself is absolute. The author discusses the implications of this for the idea of infinite complexity in matter and the possibility of infinite knowledge. He references Stephen Hawking and M.A. Markov's work, proposing an alternative model of the universe based on the relativity of pi, leading to a non-infinite movement within the microworld that emerges into the megaworld.

The Ladder of Creation is Coiled into a Ring

Building on the idea of a finite number of natural laws, this section explores the structure of the universe as a "ladder" or a "ring." It suggests that consciousness and the noosphere might occupy a lower position than fundamental physical steps. The author argues that consciousness is not merely a passive reflection but an active force that shapes reality, leading to the "anthropic principle" – the idea that the universe's parameters are finely tuned for the emergence of intelligent life. This is explained by a feedback loop between matter and consciousness, with consciousness arising from the principle of self-preservation (homeostasis) and inertia.

What Fills the Vacuum?

This section revisits the concept of the "physical vacuum" or "ether," challenging Einstein's model of empty curved space. It discusses various proposed names for ether particles (etherons, amers, etc.) and their differing mass estimates. V.A. Atsukovsky's theory of "etherodynamics" is presented as a leading model, where elementary particles are viewed as vortices within the ether. Atsukovsky's theory suggests that the speed of excitation transfer in ether is vastly greater than the speed of light. The author also touches upon the wave-particle duality and the idea that etherons might be more akin to "strings" or "force lines" than particles with distinct sizes.

Mechanisms of "Anomalous" Phenomena

This section proposes hypotheses for explaining anomalous phenomena by focusing on how to influence the ether. It suggests that elementary particles, by forming ordered structures, can influence the ether, leading to phenomena like concentrated "cosmic energy." The human brain is presented as a unique medium where ordered electron patterns can be formed through thought, potentially influencing the ether and enabling phenomena like telekinesis and levitation. "Thought-forms" are hypothesized to be composed of ether, and their reception by another brain is proposed as the mechanism for telepathy. The concept of "astral bodies" traveling through time (clairvoyance) is also linked to the rapid propagation of ether.

Theoretical Aspects of Sensographic Reproduction of Invisible Bioenergetic Objects

L.S. Pritzker's article defines Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) as visually or photographically observable objects, including those resembling living beings, that cannot be explained by current science and technology. Sensography is described as the reproduction of an object sensed by a sensitive individual onto photographic film. Pritzker discusses various types of "psi-photographs" and distinguishes them from sensographic photographs, which he believes involve a direct, non-imaginative perception of invisible phenomena. He recounts his own experience of developing the ability to see and photograph the invisible, emphasizing that this is a reality rather than a hallucination. He proposes that invisible objects must be material and possess pulsed, short-duration existence to be captured on film. He then delves into the physics of atomic structure, Planck's constant, and the fine-structure constant, suggesting that the latter relates to the relative slowing of time. This leads to the concept of different time rates in different material structures or worlds, implying the reality of bioenergetic radiation. Pritzker calculates the speed of bioenergy propagation and the wavelengths of human bioenergy emissions, deriving frequencies and periods of existence for bioenergetic objects. He concludes by presenting a table for selecting exposure times based on the size of invisible objects for sensographic purposes.

Literature

The issue includes a list of references, citing works on parapsychology, evolutionics, theories of vacuum and relativity, cosmology, physics, and plasma systems.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the exploration of UFO phenomena and other anomalous events through the lens of speculative physics and consciousness studies. There is a strong emphasis on developing new theoretical models that go beyond conventional scientific paradigms, particularly concerning the nature of reality, matter, energy, and consciousness. The concept of the "ether" or "physical vacuum" as a fundamental medium and the active role of consciousness are central to many of the presented theories. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, encouraging scientific investigation and the development of new hypotheses, even if they challenge established scientific views. The publication serves as a platform for researchers to present their work on the fringes of physics and ufology.

This issue of "Astronomical Herald" (Астрономический вестник), Volume XXIV, Issue 1, published in 1992, focuses on the phenomena of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and explores potential scientific explanations and related research. The cover headline prominently features "НЕОПОЗНАННЫЕ ЛЕТАЮЩИЕ ОБЪЕКТЫ" (Unidentified Flying Objects).

Sensography and Object Characteristics

The issue delves into the concept of "sensography," a photographic method for capturing faint, possibly bioenergetic, objects. A table presents parameters such as distance, speed, exposure time, and angular resolution, relating them to a "sensographic product" (П) which is ideally 7500 for optimal contrast. Deviations from this optimal value are discussed, leading to reduced contrast or the need for extreme photographic conditions. The article explains that the sensographic product is the product of the distance to the object and the exposure time, and it remains constant under optimal conditions. It is noted that when the exposure time does not match the quantum time (existence of bioenergetic objects), the sensographic product may deviate from 7500, affecting image contrast. Examples include the photography of composer Brahms with a low sensographic product resulting in a 20 dB loss in contrast, and a case involving "aliens" at the Ostankino Television Center where the contrast was significantly lower due to a very low sensographic product (15).

Conversely, when the sensographic product exceeds 7500, it can lead to objects appearing too small for detailed reproduction without significant enlargement, potentially causing image graininess. An example cited is the filming of a spherical object over Alma-Ata, where the sensographic product was 2500, similar to the optimal range, but the object's size was smaller than optimal, requiring greater magnification. The article emphasizes that the primary condition for sensography is matching the exposure time to the existence period of the bioenergetic object, which ensures contrast even if the sensographic product exceeds 7500, affecting only the image size.

Further discussion on sensography highlights the capture of a "non-terrestrial repeater" in Alma-Ata. The sensographic process for a three-bladed object with a 4-5 meter wingspan at a distance of 50-55 meters resulted in full contrast with a 1/500 exposure. The article posits that if exposure time matches the quantum time (existence of bioenergetic objects), sensography can yield high contrast regardless of distance, though optimal results are achieved at the optimal distance (П=7500).

If П < 7500, only details or fragments of the object are captured. If П > 7500, the object might be so small that reproduction requires excessive enlargement, leading to graininess. Excessive light can degrade contrast, making it difficult to capture fleeting, invisible objects. For such objects, exposures in the ten-thousandths or thousandths of a second are needed. For very small objects requiring even shorter exposures (hundred-thousandths of a second), even the most sensitive film is insufficient. Therefore, photographing small objects is best done in low light, without flash, to increase exposure time and contrast.

The author expresses hope that accumulating experience will help understand the human role as a biological resonator for capturing these invisible structures.

Material Analysis of Anomalous Objects

Another significant section presents results from the "Analysis of Diagnostic Methods for the Surface of Material Objects Collected at Sites of Alleged Anomalous Object Impact." This research, conducted in 1989, involved examining various materials collected between 1986 and 1988. These included:

• An iron ball from the Kerch Peninsula (diameter 5.3 mm, mass 0.508 g), exhibiting a dark gray color with no visible signs of melting but with partially removed scale.
• Lead spirals and burnt wood fragments from Dalnegorsk (height 611), described as dark gray, melted lumps with diameters of 0.5-1.5 mm, and small metal plates. The burnt wood showed shiny black crystals.
• Soil samples from a suspected UFO landing site in Poltava region.
• Expanded clay samples from trenches of unknown origin on the Taman Peninsula.

The study aimed to determine the elemental and chemical composition of these objects and identify any unique characteristics. Methods employed included electron Auger spectrometry, mass spectrometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The iron ball analysis revealed a layered structure with distinct chemical compositions in at least four layers, including high carbon content in the outermost layer, followed by layers with increased manganese and sulfur, and finally a layer with increased phosphorus and carbon. The microhardness measurements showed an increase from the center to the periphery, suggesting slow cooling. Graphite inclusions were observed on the surface.

The lead spirals showed a surface layer of 98-99% lead, with a thin outer layer containing elevated carbon and sulfur. Analysis of the burnt wood was inconclusive using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, but Auger spectrometry detected various elements including C, O, Pd, Rc, Su, Si, Mg, Al, S, Sr, Cl, Y, Ca, N, Zr, Ag, Te, Ni, Ce, Ti, with high concentrations of Ba, Ag, Pd, and Zr noted on the surface of burnt wood fibers.

Ceramic samples were analyzed using a charge neutralization system, revealing elements like Li, B, Al, S, Sr, Zr, La, Ba, O, N, and H, suggesting a complex combination of oxides. The soil analysis from the Poltava region showed no significant differences between the epicenter and background samples, except for minor variations in manganese oxide content.

The discussion highlights the difficulty in explaining the layered structure of the iron ball using conventional technologies, suggesting it might be a result of plasma treatment. The lead spiral's composition is also considered difficult to replicate economically.

Gravitational Radiation and UFO Dynamics

Another article, "Explanation of UFO Phenomenon Dynamics Using Gravitational Radiation" by A.V. Shabelnikov, proposes that the unusual dynamics of UFOs are driven by unknown energy carriers, particularly gravitational radiation. The author cites experiments showing increased solar wind speed near the Sun and studies on the influence of gravity on biochemical reactions. The article discusses the speed of gravitational waves, suggesting it is significantly higher than the speed of light, and proposes using Maxwell's equations, adapted for gravitational waves, to explain UFO movement.

Paleoufology

An article titled "Paleoufology" by V.I. Avinsky explores the possibility of past contacts between human civilizations and extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). It frames paleoufology as central to the problem of searching for extraterrestrial civilizations and addresses questions about the nature, goals, and consequences of such contacts. The author suggests that ancient artifacts, traces of ETI material culture, and reflections in human consciousness can serve as evidence. The search for ETI activity is directed towards UFO-type phenomena. The article categorizes ancient "technicisms" (artifacts or representations of technology) into three classes: constructible, functional, and unidentifiable. It notes that many ancient images depict UFO-like craft, anthropomorphic figures, and human representations, suggesting a technological origin rather than natural phenomena. The analysis of these ancient images indicates a global presence over the last 30,000 years, with striking typological similarities to modern UFOs and spacecraft.

UFOological Situation in the Penza Region

S.N. Volkov presents an analysis of the UFOological situation in the Penza region, Russia. The study involves collecting information on UFO sightings, statistical processing, and identifying patterns in object forms, speeds, and associated phenomena. The research includes field measurements of radioactivity and biolocation. A significant finding is the identification of an anomalous zone approximately 10-12 km in radius, characterized by frequent UFO appearances, particularly during daylight and twilight hours.

Two notable cases are detailed:
1. On November 2, 1930, near Anuchino station, a tree spontaneously ignited and glowed for several days, accompanied by the observation of an elliptical, glowing object hovering above it. Witnesses reported fear and mechanical failures.
2. In the village of Kresty, residents reported finding circular formations in fields where the soil was raised about 1 meter. These areas caused discomfort and health issues for children and adults, leading them to avoid the locations.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the scientific investigation of UFOs, exploring potential explanations through physics (gravitational radiation, sensography) and material analysis of recovered objects. The concept of paleoufology suggests a historical dimension to UFO phenomena, hinting at ancient extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting research and hypotheses without definitive conclusions, encouraging further investigation into these anomalous phenomena and their potential implications for humanity's understanding of the universe and its history.

Title: ТОННЕЛЬ
Issue: 1
Volume: 1
Year: 1992
Publisher: ТОННЕЛЬ
Country: Russia
ISSN: 2071-4432

This issue of "ТОННЕЛЬ" (TUNNEL) explores various aspects of ufology, anomalous phenomena, and theoretical concepts related to the universe and consciousness. The cover asks "UFOs: WHAT ARE THEY?" and features a stylized UFO image.

Investigations in Anomalous Zones

The magazine details investigations into anomalous zones, particularly in the village of Kресты, Russia. The area is described as being riddled with ravines and having a 10-meter elevation difference, with the village itself having "died out" about 30 years prior. Ufological groups from Penza organized expeditions to this location to investigate UFO manifestations and interview local residents.

During research in the Kресты area, an ellipsoidal object was observed, and a tree was scorched. The site exhibited unusual phenomena, including the intense growth of wild strawberries, reaching 45-50 cm in height within 7 months of the event, and the presence of a strong energy radiation detected by a bio-operator. A specific type of acacia, resembling a fern, was also found. Interestingly, radiation was not detected at the site. During the group's work, a bus engine twice shut down spontaneously when approximately 200 and 1000 meters from the anomalous site, restarting after 5 and 15 minutes respectively.

Local residents reportedly consider this area a landmark for frequent UFO sightings, with objects often passing through on a roughly south-north trajectory. Video recordings made by the group showed no defects. The researchers hypothesized that a strong bioenergetic source in the area might facilitate the materialization or energetic feeding of objects, leading to these observations. The location was considered by Penza ufologists to be one vertex of a triangle forming an anomalous zone.

Further investigation at the former village of Kресты revealed numerous ravines, barren hills, and grass withered in strict circles 2-5 meters in radius. Mountain rock outcrops were found, containing fossilized mollusks and plants, likely from the Ice Age. The background radiation in some areas was found to be 2.5 times above normal levels. A bio-energetic specialist confirmed the presence of several strong ascending energy columns. No raised circles were found. The entire area was described as a peak within a 55 km diameter region, situated 289 meters above sea level.

During nighttime operations, the group focused on bioenergetic aspects, attempting to create an energy column interacting with Earth's natural energy. Between 22:25 and 01:30, 25 objects resembling artificial Earth satellites were observed. Twenty of these exhibited zig-zag flight paths, with sudden changes in luminosity and size. Their flight directions varied from east-west to south-north. Two participants reported telepathic visions of geometric figures. The collective experience suggested a possible energetic isolation of the contact participants from external harmful influences.

On page 2, the article concludes that the nature of the phenomena observed in the anomalous zone remains unclear, questioning whether it is contact with an alien intelligence or the materialization of human thought. Two peak points forming a triangle (and possibly another geometric figure) of the anomalous zone were identified. The distance between Anuchino station and the former Kресты village is 8 km. A third point is hypothesized for potential third-kind contact, with the club "LOGOS" reportedly possessing information requiring verification. The zone was given the provisional name "Issinsko-Luninskaya."

Theoretical Concepts

Information-Topodynamic Concept of the Universe as a Living Intelligent Being. Problems of Spirituality by M.Ya. Zemlitsky (Moscow) presents a new conceptual framework for understanding the universe. It aims to reveal the essence of energy phenomena, the deep nature of matter, and its origin from protomatter. The concept explains the dynamic structure of the Global Universe, the process of evolution, and the nature of inertia and gravity. It posits that all natural phenomena share a common physico-semantic nature, originating from a single informational-topodynamic self-reflection of the initial material substratum. The core principle is that matter's property of reflection is the fundamental principle of the material substratum, leading to the creation of the entire universe. This concept does not reject modern scientific knowledge but builds upon it, concluding that the Global Universe as a whole is a living, intelligent being, and all of nature, living and non-living, are its inseparable components. Humanity is presented as a link in the Cosmic Chain of Unified Life.

NooCosmology and Separate Objects of UFO Study by S.I. Poddubny (Moscow) discusses the growing contact between Cosmic Intelligent Forces and humans, with a shift in activity towards Russia. NooCosmology is defined as the science of Cosmic Intelligence, with elements found in various philosophies and religions. Ufology is considered a branch of the universal teaching on the relationship between the Cosmos, humans, and Earth. The goals of NooCosmology include transmitting hidden knowledge, understanding humanity's role, revealing the nature of UFOs, filling the spiritual void, and uncovering the multiplicity of intelligent life. Its scientific platform is that the Cosmos is a living, intelligent system, and humans are particles of Cosmic Intelligence. All of existence is permeated by psi-energy, and energy and thought are material. The article suggests that other intelligent civilizations inhabit Earth and that human life on Earth is a stage in a larger cosmic existence.

Problems of Ufology by A.A. Shpilman (Karaganda) outlines the methodology for identifying the activity and origin of UFOs, assessing the credibility of reports, neutralizing local energy formations, and filtering knowledge from contacts. It emphasizes the need for an international, scientific, and comprehensive approach to nooCosmology, integrating methods from various sciences.

What is Our World? by A.A. Shpilman (Karaganda) delves into the physics of UFO phenomena. It discusses the electromagnetic nature of electrons and protons, their charge vectors, and how their interaction can create virtual regions with gravitational potential. "Extrasensory" human abilities are linked to the control of these charge-vector fields, suggesting that unusual ufological phenomena are manifestations of the micro-world's fine structure on a macro scale.

A Unified Theory of Matter's Movement by I.Z. Samigulin (St. Petersburg) presents a scheme for the development of matter based on the dialectical interaction between order and chaos. This interaction underlies universal dialectical laws and the resolution of contradictions. The theory suggests that the world is composed of parallel universes, representing a transition from one pole to another. It also posits that highly organized structures, distinct from humans, possess a high level of consciousness as the highest form of matter reflection.

Analysis of UFO Manifestations in Belarus by E.K. Ageennova (Minsk) analyzes UFO sightings in Belarus, noting their common occurrence near tectonic faults, energy-rich areas, communication cables, and in large cities. The analysis also considers the Earth's electromagnetic field and suggests that some phenomena might be mirages (e.g., crescent-shaped objects, incomplete circles coinciding with moon phases, or fireballs explained by sunrises/sunsets). Other objects are hypothesized to be short-lived systems formed by specific electromagnetic field dynamics, possibly influenced by technological or tectonic disturbances. Contact with "aliens" is compared to meditative states, raising questions about the factors causing these states during single encounters.

Experimental System for Archival Search and Recording of UFO Information in a Database by V.V. Zolotukhin (Novosibirsk) describes the development of a computer system for ufological research. The system, named "PRO," includes a database and a search engine designed to efficiently manage and analyze UFO-related information. The system aims to identify optimal parameters for characterizing observed objects and to support statistical research. It was developed using the C language and runs on MS DOS and IBM PC/AT, XT systems.

Future Issues and Topics

The magazine announces upcoming topics for the next issue, including "strange" scientific innovations that may help understand ufology, a work by G.I. Shipov discussing vacuum as a potential state of all matter and seven levels of reality, research on the energetic impact of UFO landing sites by A.V. Karavain, and an interpretation of a "heavenly message" that appeared over Salsk in 1989.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the investigation of UFO phenomena, the exploration of anomalous zones, and the presentation of theoretical frameworks attempting to explain these occurrences. There is a strong emphasis on energetic and bioenergetic aspects, with authors proposing concepts like Information-Topodynamics and NooCosmology to understand the universe and humanity's place within it. The magazine appears to adopt an open-minded stance towards paranormal and unexplained phenomena, encouraging scientific inquiry and the integration of various disciplines to study UFOs and related subjects. The editorial stance seems to be one of seeking deeper understanding and potentially uncovering new paradigms of reality.
