Articles and Content

"Earth and Humanity: Non-Trivial Aspects of Interaction" by G.S. Belimov

This article explores the emerging field of ecological ethics and its potential to become a worldview. It argues for moving beyond strict materialism to recognize the objective premises of ancient teachings about the Universe as a living system, the proportionality of humans and the cosmos, and the special role of humans in the formation of the noosphere (the sphere of Earth's reason). The author cites Albert Schweitzer on the boundless responsibility for all living things and Frank Capra's warning about science often serving destruction rather than life preservation. The article discusses the shift in scientific paradigms from solving complex equations to understanding self-organization and moving from precise knowledge to qualitatively correct approximations. A central tenet is the naturalness of existence and the rejection of anthropocentrism. Belimov discusses the hypothesis of Earth's consciousness, referencing V.I. Vernadsky's early work on Earth's 'gaseous respiration' and a 1969 USSR discovery related to helium concentrations in Earth's crust, suggesting this indicates Earth 'breathes.' The author highlights the work of I.N. Yanitsky, who posits Earth as a highly organized, energy-saturated living organism with high consciousness capable of managing processes on the planet, as detailed in his books "Physics and Religion" (1995), "Living Earth" (1998), and "To the Secret of the Great Flood" (2001). These ideas are linked to the 'Russian cosmism' philosophers like Tsiolkovsky, Vernadsky, Chizhevsky, Roerich, and Timofeev-Resovsky, who viewed living matter as part of a unified cosmic space. Vernadsky and Teilhard de Chardin introduced the term 'noosphere' to describe Earth's formation as a unified intellectual process driven by the interaction of all conscious life forms. Academician V.P. Kaznacheev's research on the cellular level is also mentioned, suggesting that 'cellular cultures are, in essence, cellular civilizations, each cell possessing its own cellular intelligence.' The article also references V.N. Lugovenko's work "Earth's Breath." The research group led by Prof. I.A. Malmygin has been investigating the hypothesis of Earth's intelligence since 1962, using operators to communicate with the planet. Their work suggests Earth is a living and intelligent organism with anatomy, physiology, and psychology aligned with its conditions. Malmygin's group concludes that humanity's anthropocentric approach has led to environmental degradation, and Earth is now initiating a self-cleansing process. This involves eliminating harmful technologies and potentially reducing the human population through natural disasters, accidents, and diseases, while fostering a new, beneficial type of human. The group advocates for a new philosophy of 'nature service' instead of 'nature management.' The article also discusses Björn Lomborg's book "The Skeptical Environmentalist," which presents data suggesting environmental improvements in forests, air quality, and oceans, contradicting many dire predictions. Lomborg's findings are contrasted with the dire warnings of Norman Myers, with Lomborg arguing that species extinction rates are much lower than previously feared. The article concludes by questioning whether Earth's 'decision' to rid itself of harmful elements of humanity will be confirmed over time, noting the emergence of 'indigo' children with exceptional abilities as a potential counterpoint.

"Practical Experience in Developing Software for Ufological Research" by Nikolai Subbotin and Anatoly Bychenkov

This article addresses the need for structured approaches to collecting, generalizing, analyzing, and storing information in ufology, similar to other scientific disciplines. It highlights the role of personal computers (PCs) and databases (DBs) as essential tools. The authors categorize databases for ufological research into three types: Ufological (for UFO observations, anomalies, and contacts), Bibliographic (for books, articles, and notes), and News (for incident reports). The process of creating any of these databases involves several stages: analyzing the information domain, designing the DB structure, developing the DBMS (database management system) shell, creating statistical and analytical tools, and establishing methods for data transfer between researchers. The article notes the lack of standardized software for these tasks in Russia. It mentions the "UFOCAT" database, founded by D. Sanders, as the world's largest, containing over 150,000 UFO sighting records, which was later revived by Dr. Donald Johnson. UFOCAT is described as a mainframe-based system now usable on PCs, with fields for dozens of parameters including date, location, weather, witness details, UFO type, size, and maneuvers. The article also mentions other databases, such as MUFON's "MUFON Database," Valentin Golts's database (5000 reports), Vyacheslav Shevtsov's databases, and Alex Persky's "UFODB." Larry Hatch's "UFO Database" software is also cited as an influential tool despite its outdated interface. The authors then detail the development of their own ufological database system, outlining key concepts like information accumulation and processing, GIS integration, astronomical data, comparative analysis, and statistical analysis. They emphasize the ability to import data from external sources like UFODB and export to various formats. Their system aims to create a standardized method for recording anomalous phenomena, provide researchers with effective tools for information processing and exchange, and establish a competitive Russian ufological software. They tested their system using data from the US National UFO Center (NUFORC), identifying patterns in UFO sightings and using GIS to pinpoint "localization zones" or "activity zones" for UFOs. The RUFORS database is currently being populated with UFO observations over Russia.

"Bibliographic Database (BBD)"

This section describes a client-server based bibliographic system designed for users to share and contribute to a central database. It comprises several large databases, including a database of articles (BDS) for detailed information, a database of sources (BDI) for Russian media information, and a database of users (BDP) for access control. It also includes a database of localization codes (BDCL) for inter-database communication and a database of requests (BDZ) for managing information exchange. The system, written in Delphi 6.0 and using Microsoft ADO, is self-sufficient and compatible with various Windows operating systems. Its functions include searching, collecting, and processing text information (articles) through manual input, automatic import from the internet (using RUFORS Public Spider™™ technology), and import via requests to remote databases. It also offers article filtering and selection tools, automatic categorization and indexing, and a template master (RUFORS OutScript™™) for creating custom document formats.

"News Database (NBD)"

This section outlines the "WorldNews" project's goal: to develop an online News Search Module (PSM) for monitoring, analyzing, and creating a link-text database of daily news articles from internet portals. The PSM uses template-based methods to describe portal actions and analytical filters for unique page sets. Collected information is stored offline and analyzed for content, indexed, and categorized before being placed in the database. The system supports templates for describing portal properties and export formats. Rules define parsing filters, keywords for analysis or blacklisting, and data import/storage methods. The NBD stores news articles, templates, rules, and indexes. The project aims to create a global news database, implement semantic search, identify inter-news relationships for analysis and forecasting, and localize/categorize news (e.g., "Catastrophes," "Terror," "Anomalies") with GIS mapping for global distribution analysis.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the evolving understanding of Earth as a living, conscious entity, the development of ecological ethics, and the critical role of advanced information management tools and software in scientific research, particularly in ufology. The editorial stance appears to favor a paradigm shift away from anthropocentrism towards a more integrated and respectful relationship between humanity and the planet, supported by scientific data and technological advancements in data processing and analysis. There's a clear emphasis on the need for robust software solutions to manage the growing volume of ufological data and to facilitate collaborative research.

This issue of "Nauka i Tekhnika" (Science and Technology) from 1999, issue number 11, delves into several intriguing and often controversial topics at the intersection of science and the unexplained. The publication, originating from Russia, features articles on the Canadian Project "Magnet," the theoretical concept of "gravitational waves" and "time waves," and the emerging field of "psychotronics" and its potential applications.

Project "Magnet" and the Mystery of UFO Propulsion

The article "Canadian Project 'Magnet': The First Steps to Unraveling the Mystery of UFO Flight" by Vladimir Zabelyshensky explores the ambitious project initiated in Canada in 1950 by engineer Wilbert Smith. The project aimed to study geomagnetic fields and their potential for generating electrical energy, with the hypothesis that this energy could be used to create powerful magnetic fields for UFO propulsion. Smith believed that magnetic fields were a key component in UFO flight principles. He even discussed collaborative efforts with American specialists, including Dr. Vannevar Bush. Declassified documents from November 21, 1950, revealed that the US government considered UFO research to be of higher importance than the hydrogen bomb. Smith also proposed that the magnetic field, when formed into a torus around a craft, could generate reaction forces enabling flight within Earth's magnetic field. The theory suggested that modulating this field could also be used for communication. The proposed craft design was a large ferromagnetic toroid with a small dome. The article notes that in 1997, it became known that Smith had visited a US Air Force base and was shown a crashed UFO and the bodies of deceased humanoids. The theoretical basis of Project Magnet suggested that the magnetic flux should create powerful reaction forces, enabling flight within Earth's magnetic field. The interaction of current and magnetic field was thought to create a vertical force. The article mentions that Smith's theory predicted an issue with insufficient cooling during acceleration, leading to overheating and glowing, which seemed to be confirmed by visual UFO observations. The complexity of controlling such a craft was acknowledged, with potential electrical potentials reaching tens of thousands of volts, leading to corona discharge. The article also touches upon the idea that the magnitude of the geomagnetic field varies with geographic latitude and anomalies, further complicating control. It is mentioned that in the late 1950s, both American and Canadian researchers concluded that UFOs defied aerodynamic laws, not experiencing air resistance and not heating up during flight. The article briefly references German Vril society's work on electromagnetic systems and anti-gravity devices, like the Schumann Levitator, built in 1922. By 1954, Project Magnet lost relevance as American research centers expanded their UFO study programs, involving major aerospace firms and specialized organizations. The article concludes by stating that Smith's theory was replaced by the theory of electrogravitation by American scientist Brown, which was experimentally verifiable and free from Smith's theoretical flaws.

Gravitational Waves and Time Waves

The article "Gravitational Waves!?" by A.V. Lemeshko (Ukraine) discusses the ongoing scientific quest to detect gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity. Despite extensive efforts, these waves, which are expected to slightly alter the weight of material objects, have not been definitively detected, possibly due to their rapid and brief changes in mass. Lemeshko proposes an alternative detection method based on the dependence of time flow on gravity. He suggests that gravitational waves might cause minor fluctuations in the speed of time, making it flow slightly faster or slower. These subtle temporal changes, or "chronowaves," could potentially be detected using quartz crystals, which are used in some clocks. The article credits Professor N.A. Kozyrev of the Pulkovo Observatory with first proposing the existence of "time streams" or chronowaves. Kozyrev conducted experiments using a telescope and quartz plates placed in its focal point. He observed changes in the frequency of the quartz plates' oscillations when the telescope was pointed at stars, suggesting the presence of chronowaves. These experiments also indicated changes in the electrical conductivity and volume of certain substances, which are influenced by the speed of time. Skeptics initially attributed these effects to infrared radiation, but Kozyrev's further experiments, including pointing the telescope to where a star was in the past, demonstrated that chronowaves could travel at different speeds, including speeds comparable to or exceeding the speed of light. The article notes that official science has largely abandoned Kozyrev's research after his death, with some theorists cautiously attributing similar effects to controversial "torsion fields." The author suggests that chronowaves could be used for practical purposes, such as obtaining information from anywhere in the galaxy instantaneously, as they are not subject to the mass-speed dependency of relativity. The article describes a simple chronowave receiver that can be built by anyone with basic radio engineering knowledge. It explains that instead of inducing electrical currents like radio waves, chronowaves alter the electrical conductivity of the antenna material, and these changes are then converted into an audible signal or otherwise recorded. The article also references the work of O. Hepfner (1989) on "chronal fields" and "chronal anomalies," suggesting that these static temporal anomalies can become chronowaves or density waves. Hepfner's research indicated that a model of the Great Pyramid of Giza could generate such anomalies, which could be transmitted via a flexible copper cable. The article concludes this section by mentioning that these "noises" are now referred to as flicker-noise, citing the work of A.M. Mishina.

Psychotronics, Mind Reading, and P-Waves

The article "Mind Reading - Reality!" by Sergey Paukov (Ukraine, Kiev) discusses the potential for influencing human behavior and consciousness through methods beyond fear and personal interest. It introduces the concept of "P-waves" (or PV waves), which, according to Dr. Nikolai Kolpakov, a professor at Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics (KhNURE), can be used to read human thoughts from a distance using specialized equipment. Kolpakov also suggests that the reverse process, "programming" people subconsciously, is possible, likening it to "installing" software on a human "biocomputer." He claims that each person has a unique "psychic energy emission band" that can be tuned into. The article posits that the spectrum of frequencies is practically inexhaustible, and humans themselves can be considered "condensations of electromagnetic waves." It references a 20th-century table of cosmic vibrations that included "higher frequencies of psychic energy." Kolpakov's research, using P-wave generators, has reportedly shown that the electrical conductivity of human cells changes before and after exposure to psychics, and that this effect can alter the conductivity of any object. The article touches upon the idea of a "subtle world" with multiple components, and that each person has a unique frequency channel, similar to a fingerprint. It draws a parallel to the clairvoyant Vanga, who could supposedly tune into a person's informational wave. The concept is linked to Academician V.I. Vernadsky's idea of the Noosphere, where human intellect is part of a global energy-information space. The article mentions the work of Anatoly Kashpirovsky, Alan Chumak, and Leonid Pritzker, who are known for their alleged ability to influence people, including charging water with positive bioenergy. It suggests that this high-frequency bioenergy is transmitted via low-frequency carriers like radio and television waves. The author recounts a personal experience of receiving healing influence from psychic Leonid Pritzker over the phone. The article also speculates about creating a database of "reference frequencies" for healthy organs to treat illnesses and mentions the use of small "biopotentiometers" to influence sexual function. It highlights the work of Kiev doctor Lyudmila Petrovna Zhukova, whose methods for contactless "energomassage" are recognized. The article then discusses the potential dangers of P-waves, suggesting they could be used for unauthorized access to state and military secrets, and that personal privacy could be compromised. It raises the concern of individuals needing to wear special shielding helmets to protect their thoughts. The article also touches upon the ethical and legal implications, the need for state control over such technology, and the possibility of "psychic cloning" or "psychic slavery" through mass manipulation. It mentions the existence of a "secret" medallion used by the "Alpha" anti-terrorist group for pain relief, now sold as "Mediv," which allegedly works by correcting the body's energy-information state. The article concludes by stating that the development of energy-information influence on humans is growing and improving, with potential applications in medicine, such as significantly reducing training time by "recording" knowledge directly into the brain, though the safety and outcome of such "bio-installations" remain uncertain. The author warns that if mind-reading devices become easily accessible, it could lead to widespread misuse, including the unauthorized extraction of sensitive information and the violation of personal privacy.

Psychotronic Weapons and Future Implications

Further exploring the implications of psychotronics, the article discusses the term "psychotronic weapon" and its origins, linking it to the International Society for the Study of Psychotronics founded in 1973. It mentions that early "torsion field" generators were classified as psychotronic weapons due to their ability to influence human psyche and health. The article references a book that notes the first such generator was allegedly created in Kiev by Beridze-Stakhovsky, who reportedly died from his own invention, a fate shared by several of his followers. The potential for P-waves to transmit illusions and sensations, such as pregnancy or illness, to another person is discussed, raising concerns about malicious applications. The possibility of transmitting animalistic aggression to humans is also raised, termed "psychoclone." The most alarming prospect discussed is the potential for uncontrolled groups to gain control over large populations through "psychoslaving" or "zombification," where individuals are manipulated into unquestioning obedience by individuals claiming to be divine figures. The article draws a parallel to how advanced technology might appear as divine intervention to less technologically developed societies. It also mentions the work of Professor I.N. Pavlovets, who views psychotronic weapons as a serious and poorly understood scientific problem. The article concludes by emphasizing the growing power and sophistication of energy-information influence on humans, with significant implications for medicine, education, and security, while also highlighting the profound ethical and societal challenges that these technologies present.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of "Nauka i Tekhnika" appears to adopt a stance of exploring cutting-edge, often speculative, scientific concepts and phenomena that lie beyond mainstream scientific consensus. The articles on Project Magnet, time waves, and psychotronics suggest an interest in unconventional theories related to physics, propulsion, and consciousness. While presenting these topics, the magazine also acknowledges the scientific skepticism and theoretical challenges associated with them, as seen in the discussions of Wilbert Smith's theory being superseded and the uncertainties surrounding P-wave applications. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into phenomena that push the boundaries of current understanding, while also cautioning about potential dangers and the need for further research and regulation, particularly concerning psychotronic technologies. The inclusion of detailed technical explanations alongside speculative theories indicates an attempt to bridge the gap between established science and fringe research.

This issue of Nezavisimoye Voyennoye Obozreniye, dated March 19, 2003, delves into topics of parapsychology, bioenergy, and unexplained phenomena, including alleged extraterrestrial encounters.

Article: R-Waves and Psychic Manipulation

The first article, by Sergey Makarevich Paukov, discusses the potential of 'R-waves' for reading thoughts, telepathic communication, and influencing others. Paukov emphasizes that such technologies, if they exist, should be under strict state control and require international cooperation in law to protect against 'psychoterror' and hold 'psychic aggressors' accountable.

Article: The Invisible Ray or the Mystery of the Beridze Generator

Authored by Tamila Reshetnikova, this piece explores the idea that thought is not solely a product of brain activity but may involve 'superlight particles of vacuum.' It references the work of Professor N. Kobozev and the hypotheses of V. Pushkin and A. Dubrov regarding the role of physical vacuum in psychic phenomena. The article highlights Professor A. Gurvich's discovery of mitogenetic rays and the concept of a 'biological field' that facilitates distant interactions between cells. It also mentions the research of V. Kaznacheev and L. Mikhailova on the distant transmission of genetic signals and the idea that life has a 'field form.' The author notes that psychic energy is believed to differ from other energies, traveling long distances with minimal loss and penetrating any screen. A. Dubrov is cited as stating that to understand psychic phenomena, existing scientific paradigms need to shift. The article posits that significant discoveries often come from 'transcendental knowledge' rather than logical deduction.

The author then recounts her personal experience with a 'biofield generator' created by A. Beridze-Stakhovsky. This device, a metallic cylinder, was used in Kiev to treat illnesses. Her experiments with wheat seeds showed stimulated growth, leading her to test the generator on herself and the wheat for frost resistance. She later learned from Beridze that the device was a 'cosmic energy retransmitter' emitting an 'anti-gravitational cosmic ray.'

Reshetnikova describes a terrifying experience of intense pain and cellular disruption after using the generator, which she interpreted as a profound energetic change at the atomic nucleus level, potentially measurable by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), a technique she was using for her research.

Article: Andropov's Desk: Secrets of the Aliens

This article, based on materials from 'Komosomolskaya Pravda' (March 19, 2003), recounts a story told by Igor Sinitsyn, former assistant to KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov. Sinitsyn describes how Andropov showed interest in UFOs, even before the late 1980s. He shares an excerpt from his upcoming book, 'Andropov Up Close,' detailing an incident where a KGB officer, a former squadron navigator, reported a UFO sighting during a fishing trip in the Volga delta near Astrakhan. The officer described a star rapidly brightening and approaching Earth, transforming into a disc-shaped object with a halo. The UFO hovered at an estimated 500 meters, emitted two beams of light, one directed at the water and another scanning the boat, before rapidly ascending and disappearing. Andropov, intrigued, decided to forward the report and related materials to Andrei Kirilenko, Chairman of the Military-Industrial Commission.

Sinitsyn then describes meeting Kirilenko, who, despite initial gruffness, became very interested in the UFO report and the accompanying materials from the German magazine 'Stern.' Kirilenko, recognizing the officer's expertise in navigation, did not dismiss the sighting and inquired if the documents were secret. He expressed interest in keeping the materials, and Sinitsyn complied.

Further Details on the Beridze Generator and Psychic Phenomena

Reshetnikova continues her account, describing how she experienced heart spasms when working with the open generator, which were alleviated by a doctor's advice to use an electric razor in a circular motion over the heart or by rolling a fresh egg over the body to absorb excess energy. She notes that about 50 such devices remained with former patients in Kiev and warns of their potential uncontrolled use, as the generator emits energy even when closed and should not be kept in living spaces.

She mentions that while many people were healed, some were not, and that Anatoly Alexandrovich (Beridze) continuously refined his invention, believing the wavelength needed individual adjustment. She warns against attempting to disassemble the generator, as it can lead to loss of health and render the device inoperable. She also stresses the importance of adhering to a 'moral credo of the Cosmos,' respecting karma and one's destiny, as those who try to selfishly acquire secret knowledge often face severe consequences, including death, because their physical systems cannot handle the influx of cosmic information.

Reshetnikova concludes that Beridze-Stakhovsky's discoveries were lost with him, but the understanding remains that humanity has the potential to explore new secrets of nature, develop harmless technologies, and understand other worlds. His discovery will return when humanity is spiritually ready to accept it and use it for good.

The article also provides biographical information on Tamila Reshetnikova, a biochemist who has studied the bioenergetics of wheat for over twenty years and believes in a powerful, unknown energy source in nature. Since 1984, she has led a group researching biofields and anomalous phenomena. She aims to provide explanations for phenomena like telepathy and clairvoyance using modern methodologies.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue consistently explores the intersection of science, spirituality, and unexplained phenomena. It advocates for a cautious and controlled approach to potentially powerful technologies like 'R-waves' and biofield generators, emphasizing the need for state oversight and international regulation. The articles suggest that conventional scientific paradigms may be insufficient to explain certain phenomena, hinting at the existence of subtle energies and 'cosmic information.' The inclusion of the KGB's interest in UFOs underscores the potential for government involvement in investigating and possibly concealing information about anomalous events. The overall stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, tempered with warnings about the ethical implications and potential dangers of such advanced knowledge and technology.
