Issue: № 37
Year: 2010
Publisher: Academy of Informational and Applied UFOlogy, International UFOlogical Association
Type: Collection of scientific works (Electronic version)

This issue of "ТОННЕЛЬ" (TUNNEL) delves into speculative and theoretical topics at the intersection of physics, cosmology, and ufology. It features prominent physicist Stephen Hawking's cautionary views on extraterrestrial contact and explores advanced concepts in theoretical physics related to space-time manipulation for faster-than-light travel.

Stephen Hawking Warns of Alien Contact Dangers

The lead article highlights the views of renowned British physicist Stephen Hawking, who, in an interview with The Sunday Times, cautioned humanity against seeking contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Hawking posits that any such encounter could bring catastrophe to Earth. He suggests that if alien technologies significantly surpass our own, they might not be interested in cooperation but rather in colonizing or destroying humanity. He draws a historical parallel to Christopher Columbus's arrival in America, which proved disastrous for the indigenous populations. Hawking's theories on extraterrestrial life and its potential forms are also mentioned as being part of a documentary film to be released on the Discovery Channel. He believes life exists throughout the universe, not just on planets but also in stars and interstellar space, making Earth's uniqueness unlikely. He speculates that alien life could range from microbial to intelligent forms, with the latter posing a potential threat if they seek resources from other planets.

Laz into the Universe: Objects for Superluminal Travel

This section, authored by Sergey Komarov, addresses the immense distances in the universe and the limitations imposed by the theory of relativity on material travel. It explores theoretical pathways for achieving superluminal (faster-than-light) travel, moving beyond the confines of light speed. The article introduces the concept of a "laz" (shortcut) through space-time, inspired by recent scientific considerations.

The Wormhole

A typical example of a "laz" is a wormhole, a theoretical tunnel connecting two distant regions of space-time. These are thought to have formed during the early universe due to extreme local space-time curvature. The article references work by physicists like Michael Morris, Kip Thorne, and Ulvi Yurtsever, who discussed the creation of wormholes, potentially involving exotic matter with negative energy density. The concept of a wormhole could also function as a time machine if one end is moving relative to the other.

The Alcubierre Drive

An alternative to wormholes is the "Alcubierre bubble," proposed by Miguel Alcubierre. This concept involves creating a bubble of space-time that contracts in front of a spacecraft and expands behind it, allowing the bubble (and the craft within) to travel at effectively superluminal speeds without violating local causality. The article notes that Alcubierre's work is foundational in this area. The mechanism relies on manipulating space-time, potentially using exotic matter. The article discusses the immense quantities of exotic matter required, estimated to be on the order of 10^162 kilograms for a light-speed bubble, far exceeding the mass of the observable universe. However, it also mentions that the energy requirements might be reduced if the deformation is confined to a thin "wall" of the bubble.

Modifications and Challenges

The article touches upon modifications to the Alcubierre drive, such as the "Natario bubble," which aims to concentrate the deformation within the bubble itself. It also discusses "Krasnikov's tube," a concept where a ship could create its own tunnel as it moves, potentially allowing for travel not only through space but also through time, returning to a point shortly after departure without paradoxes. A significant challenge for both the Alcubierre drive and the Natario bubble is the requirement for exotic matter. The article also explores the possibility of using additional dimensions, as proposed in some theories, to achieve space-time manipulation. The energy required for such a drive is astronomical, potentially necessitating the annihilation of a Jupiter-sized planet for a 10-meter ship, though localized deformation might reduce this to a more manageable 100 GJ.

The Nature of Time and Events

Authored by Alexander Goncharenko, this section presents a philosophical and theoretical perspective on time. Goncharenko argues that time is not a flowing entity but is stationary. He posits that observers, along with the Earth, solar system, and galaxy, move through this stationary time, creating the illusion of its passage. He identifies two primary interactions with time: the movement of objects through it and the concept of time-life for objects. He suggests that understanding the latter could solve technical problems related to space travel. Goncharenko proposes that time is a medium that fills space, and everything in space is also in time. He likens events to spherical objects with varying informational content and energy potentials, which influence each other and can be absorbed or overlaid. The birth of large-scale event spheres is linked to the Big Bang and possibly to a creative force. He suggests that humans might also contribute to the creation of event spheres. The interaction of an object with an event sphere is determined by the frequency characteristics of both, influencing the development or decay of the event for that object. He also discusses the concept of time measurement, suggesting that current mathematical operations are only valid for relative, local time, not for global time, whose structure remains unknown. The speed of light is mentioned as a potential correlate to the frequency of a temporal wave field.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine "ТОННЕЛЬ" appears to focus on fringe science, theoretical physics, and ufology, often exploring concepts that push the boundaries of current scientific understanding. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry into these speculative areas, presenting scientific theories, even those considered highly theoretical or speculative, alongside more established scientific viewpoints. The articles encourage readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional paradigms, particularly in the realm of space exploration and the fundamental nature of reality.

This issue of "Anomalous Phenomena" (Volume 1, Issue 1, November 1989) explores the complex relationship between time, unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and potential extraterrestrial technology. The magazine posits that UFOs might utilize a 'second interaction with time' to achieve their remarkable flight characteristics, creating localized time fields that allow for rapid acceleration and maneuverability.

Time and UFOs: A Theoretical Framework

The articles delve into the physics of time, suggesting that the propagation of waves is more a characteristic of the medium than the wave process itself. It is theorized that 'natural' localized high-frequency field structures, possibly spherical or spindle-shaped, could create their own 'internal' time reference frames, distinct from 'external' time. These structures might evolve and interact with other spatiotemporal continua, potentially forming 'tunnel' or 'wormhole' transitions.

The concept of 'second interaction with time' is presented as a potential explanation for UFO phenomena. Rotating elements within UFOs, whether mechanical, plasma, or field-based, are believed to generate an active mechanism that creates a localized 'internal' time field. This field would reduce the object's dependence on 'external' time, enabling rapid movement and seemingly impossible maneuvers. The authors suggest that occupants within a UFO might not perceive the extreme accelerations due to this internal time field, similar to how humans on Earth do not perceive the planet's motion or the universe's expansion.

This understanding could lead to the development of spacecraft capable of interstellar travel, either by creating localized time fields around ships or by forming tunnel transitions for long-distance jumps.

Biological Time and Human Experience

The magazine extends the concept of time interaction to biological organisms, particularly humans. It is proposed that humans possess an individual 'internal' time counter, possibly linked to a high-frequency energy field or the 'chakra' system. Changes in the rotation speed of these 'chakras' could create the illusion of time acceleration or deceleration for the individual, influencing their perception of 'external' time.

Practices in Eastern martial arts are mentioned as potentially manipulating these internal time mechanisms to gain an advantage in combat by making an opponent's movements appear slowed. Conversely, meditative practices in some Eastern religions are said to achieve significant slowing of 'internal' time, leading to profound physiological changes, as exemplified by the phenomenon of the preserved body of Hambo Lama Itigilov.

The interaction between 'internal' and 'external' time is described as a continuous process throughout human life, from birth to death. The faster metabolic processes in children are attributed to a faster 'internal' time count, creating the impression of a longer day and facilitating adaptation to the environment. As individuals age, their 'internal' time gradually slows, contributing to the perception of 'external' time accelerating.

Emotional states are also linked to the 'internal' time counter. Stressful situations can accelerate 'internal' time, making external events appear to unfold in slow motion. Individuals with balanced emotional states tend to have a more stable and synchronized 'internal' time, leading to greater resilience and longevity.

Government Secrecy and UFO Investigations

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the history of UFO investigations in the United States, focusing on government secrecy and alleged cover-ups. The article highlights the formation of Project 'Sign' by the US Air Force in 1948 to assess the national security implications of UFO sightings. Despite initial reports suggesting the reality of these objects, the official conclusion of Project 'Sign' in 1949 attributed sightings to misidentification, mass hysteria, or deliberate fabrications.

The magazine criticizes the contradictory nature of official US government statements and research findings. It points to the Battelle Institute's statistical analysis, which indicated significant differences between UFOs and conventional aircraft, yet the official conclusion downplayed the possibility of advanced technology. The Condon Report is also discussed, with some researchers arguing that its findings, when analyzed carefully, actually supported the reality of the UFO phenomenon, despite its official negative conclusion.

The Roswell Incident and Alleged Crashes

The issue revisits the controversial Roswell incident of 1947, presenting it as a potential crash of an unidentified flying object. Eyewitness accounts are cited, describing metallic debris with unusual properties and hieroglyphic-like markings. The article suggests that the military may have recovered wreckage and attempted to reverse-engineer the technology, leading to a highly classified project.

The Quest for Anti-Gravity Technology

Evidence is presented suggesting that the US government has been actively pursuing anti-gravity technology, possibly derived from recovered UFOs. A declassified Canadian memo from 1950 is referenced, indicating that UFO research in the US was more classified than the hydrogen bomb project and that a team led by Dr. Vannevar Bush was working on advanced propulsion systems. The article speculates that a secret project, potentially codenamed 'Sign,' was established to develop US aircraft based on UFO technology.

International Implications and Future Prospects

The magazine touches upon the international dimension of UFO research, noting that the US government's secrecy might be partly due to the desire to maintain a technological advantage over other nations. The article also mentions a significant exchange between US President Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev in 1985, where Reagan suggested a joint US-Soviet effort to defend against an alien invasion. This is interpreted as a potential probe into the Soviet Union's capabilities and understanding of UFO phenomena.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the theoretical possibilities of time manipulation, the reality of UFOs as advanced technological craft, and the pervasive nature of government secrecy surrounding these topics. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, challenging official explanations and exploring alternative hypotheses based on available evidence and theoretical physics. The magazine advocates for continued research and open discussion of these phenomena, suggesting that a deeper understanding of time and advanced propulsion could revolutionize space exploration and our perception of reality.

This document is an excerpt from the Russian journal "USA - Economy, Politics, Ideology", issue No. 4 (244), published in April 1990. It contains a bibliography of sources related to UFO phenomena and a detailed description of research into a new energy device called "PINTA-1". The authors of the research are identified as Gennady Lyapin, A.A. Titov, and N.I. Zhdanov. The research itself, conducted between 1998 and 2008, is presented as a continuation of work initiated by A.A. Titov and is dedicated to Anatoly Fedorovich Okh отрин, founder of a new direction in physics.

Research on the "PINTA" Energy Device

The research into the "PINTA" device, a plasma ionization-turbulent accumulator, spanned two main phases. The initial phase (1998-2001) took place in Protvino and Obninsk, Moscow and Kaluga regions, respectively, with private investment of around $20,000 USD. The second phase involved a large food production company. The stated goal was to create an energy source with a power output of 2-10 kW, though the work was not fully completed, with actual energy output being around 2W.

Phase I: "PINTA-1" Research (1998-2001)

This phase utilized various equipment, including an oscilloscope, night vision device, video camera, X-ray defectoscope, X-ray tubes, a plasma generator, quartz reactors, and heating elements. The research aimed to achieve a self-consistent generator with a 2-3 kW output. Key results included:

• Focusing of X-ray radiation.
• Formation of a beam in the reactor (analogous to a gamma-laser).
• Growth of crystals on metals (related to nanotechnology).
• Creation of "invisibility" within the reactor.
• Reflection of X-ray radiation from a mirror at a 45° angle.
• Generation of strata and electromagnetic fields (EMF) at frequencies of 20-50 kHz.
• Energy output of 0.5-1 W from the current collector.
• Effect of element transmutation at the nuclear level.
• Neutralization of explosive substances (ES) by the complex X-ray radiation of "PINTA".
• Evidence of elementary particle exit on metal disks and traces of elementary particle decay (waves) on these disks.

The document details the components of the "PINTA" device, including the quartz reactor, heating elements (made of NiCr or FeCrAl), and active and passive disks made of various metals like Molybdenum, Tantalum, Niobium, Copper, and Aluminum. The current collector was made of copper tubing. The research also involved using an "Arina-3" pulsed X-ray apparatus.

Phase II: Further Research

This phase, costing approximately $150,000 USD over three years, involved the creation and investigation of other field-based devices, including field sensors and generators. The research focused on characterizing physical fields, including non-electromagnetic ones, using various salt solutions. Neutron and gamma radiation detectors used included K.J. crystals and plastic. Visualization was achieved using video cameras connected to TV receivers and modems for computer processing. Shielding from neutron flux was provided by paraffin and concrete, while EMF shielding used steel and permalloy. Structural physical fields were visualized using digital cameras and Sony video cameras in optical and infrared ranges. Microwave emitters and high static voltage were used to study interactions within the "PINTA" reactors. X-ray photography was employed to study plasma formation and ionization waves. A "Yauza-100" defectoscopic X-ray apparatus was used for processes within the reactor, and a "General Electric 100" medical X-ray apparatus was used to study X-ray focusing.

Experimental Results and Phenomena

1. Focusing of X-ray Radiation: Experiments were conducted using a TUR-800 X-ray apparatus. The reactor's washer was heated to 800-900°C, and a fluorescent spot of 15-20 mm diameter was observed on a fluorescent screen. The physics of this effect is partially explained by the Mössbauer effect and, according to a newer physical theory, by microlepton (ether) theory. A Russian patent was obtained for this discovery in 2001.
2. Formation of a "Beam": During experiments, a beam was observed to form suddenly, flash a few times, and then travel along the reactor axis. The beam was described as bluish-gray, with a diameter of 3-4 mm, lasting 10-15 seconds. It short-circuited the washers of both disks. The physics is complex, potentially related to the Mössbauer effect or a macrolepton/ether field that self-compresses under certain conditions.
3. Crystal Growth and Transmutation: The research also observed the formation and growth of crystals on certain metals within the reactor and suggested the possibility of element transmutation at the nuclear level.

Bibliography and Authors

The document includes an extensive bibliography citing numerous books and articles related to UFOs, physics, and scientific investigations, including works by J. Allen Hynek, E. Ruppelt, Charles Berlitz, and others. It also references Soviet publications like "Pravda".

The authors of the research are identified as Gennady Lyapin and Vladimir Andreevich Spichkin, both Candidates of Economic Sciences. The article is sourced from the journal "USA - Economy, Politics, Ideology", No. 4 (244), April 1990, pages 97-107.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this document are the investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), the exploration of unconventional physics, and the development of new energy technologies. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into phenomena that challenge traditional scientific understanding, with a particular interest in the potential of "new physics" and its applications. The inclusion of historical UFO cases and extensive bibliographies suggests a thorough approach to documenting and analyzing these subjects. The research on "PINTA" is presented as a significant step towards understanding and harnessing these unconventional phenomena.

This issue of "Science and Religion" details a series of experiments conducted on the "Pinta" installation between December 2006 and March 2008. The research explores various physical and material science phenomena, including crystal formation under extreme conditions, the generation of 'invisibility' effects, element transmutation, and the neutralization of explosive substances. The articles describe the experimental setups, equipment used, and the observed results, often referencing theoretical frameworks and suggesting potential applications.

Experimental Investigations

Crystal Formation and Material Transformation

The experiments detail the formation of various crystalline structures on metal disks subjected to high temperatures (800-1000°C) within a reactor. Molybdenum disks, when heated, developed transparent, needle-like crystals, approximately 2-3 mm thick, on both sides. These crystals were analyzed using X-ray spectroscopy, revealing oxides of molybdenum (Mo2O5, MoO) and impurities of other metals not initially present. The crystals exhibited varied configurations, resembling fir trees or branches when viewed under a microscope.

Other metals were also tested. A tantalum disk completely transformed into white crystals within 10 minutes. Tungsten and niobium showed more resistance, with tungsten crystals appearing greenish and niobium crystals white, both having a flat shape. Titanium disks produced minimal gray crystals. A notable observation was made with a copper disk heated to 800-900°C. A gray film of copper oxide formed, and on its surface, ruby-colored crystals, described as artificial rubies, approximately 1-1.5 mm thick, were discovered. This phenomenon was hypothesized to involve the interaction of Al2O3 from the insulating washers with copper and chromium atoms, possibly through an ionic mechanism or field interaction.

'Invisibility' Phenomenon in the Reactor

Experiments conducted in a quartz reactor (100 mm diameter, 400 mm length) at temperatures of 800-900°C revealed the formation of a gray, then gray-green 'fog' within 10-15 minutes of operation. This 'fog' rendered internal components like current collectors and washers invisible in both visible and infrared light. The effect extended beyond the reactor, forming a sphere approximately 200-250 mm in diameter with blurred edges. The 'fog' dissipated within 1-2 minutes after the reactor was shut down. This phenomenon is interpreted within the framework of non-classical physics as the formation of a 'field cluster'.

X-ray Reflection and Transformation

Experiments investigated the reflection of X-ray radiation from a mirror placed at a 45° angle. In one setup (a), radiation passing through a heated washer and a quartz reactor reflected off a mirror, creating a green spot on a fluorescent screen. In setup (b), a copper disk heated to 800-900°C by a plasma torch was used. X-rays passed through the heated disk, were transformed into X-rays or a complex radiation, reflected off a mirror at 45°, and were detected as a green circle on a fluorescent screen. These experiments are compared to similar work by Nikola Tesla. The interpretation suggests that X-ray quanta, passing through the heated metal lattice with enlarged inter-atomic distances, diffract and simultaneously 'wash out' a micro-lepton component from the interstitial zones. The energy of these X-ray quanta is estimated to be around 1 GeV.

Generation of Strata and Electromagnetic Oscillations

Strata formation in the reactor was observed and recorded using a Sony video camera in the IR range and X-ray film. Electromagnetic oscillations were also detected. These oscillations, described as ion-acoustic oscillations, were recorded using an LP-300 multimeter and an S1-65 oscilloscope, with frequencies ranging from 20 to 45-50 kHz. The experiment involved high voltage applied to grid electrodes and various reactor geometries, including the use of ring magnets and gas fillings (Ar, He, N2).

Energy Output from Current Collector "Pinty"

Experiments measured energy output from a current collector labeled "Pinty." A multimeter recorded a DC voltage of 2-3 V and a current of 1-2 mA, powering an LED that glowed brightly. The output power was estimated to be a fraction of a watt. The authors suggest that incorporating a resonant circuit with adjustable inductance or capacitance, or using vacuum tubes for amplification, could enhance the energy generation.

Element Transmutation at the Nuclear Level

Results from X-ray spectral analysis of various metal disks (Mo, Cu, Nb, W, Ti) revealed the presence of trace elements that were not initially part of the disks. For example, a copper disk showed traces of silver, sulfur, and silicon, while a molybdenum disk had traces of cadmium, magnesium, and others. This suggests the possibility of transforming one element into another, supporting hypotheses by A.F. Okhatrin and Z.A. Azyukovsky regarding a micro-lepton component within the interstitial zones of matter and possibly within the nucleus itself. This contradicts some aspects of Bohr's atomic theory but is presented as a potential new understanding of matter.

Neutralization of Explosive Substances

When various cartridges and capsules were placed in the reactor for 20-30 seconds and then removed, they became inert and could not be detonated. The powder from the cartridges contained numerous transparent crystals, and when ignited, it burned slowly without a sharp flash. This indicates that the reactor, when sufficiently powerful, can neutralize explosive devices by rendering their detonator capsules inactive. This process is believed to occur at the nuclear level under X-ray radiation and could be applied to landmines and other explosive devices.

Particle Decay Tracks on Disk Surfaces

Observation under a reflecting microscope (100-400x magnification) of metal disks (Mo, Ta, Nb, Ti, Cu, permalloy, stainless steel) revealed characteristic tracks of particle decays on their surfaces. These tracks varied, with some being common across different metals and others unique. Examples include double parallel tracks on titanium resembling a railway track, wide, blurred lines on copper, and various multi-pronged tracks (forks, stars, 3-5-ray traces) on permalloy. Each track often ended with the indication of crystal growth. Miniature crystals of different colors (white, yellow, black) were observed on the surfaces of disks and stainless steel. The process is described as a particle losing energy and forming a crystal, suggesting a connection to nanotechnology and possibly requiring a re-evaluation of some micro-world laws. The 'Pinta' installation is considered a desktop particle accelerator, though it lacks magnets or electron/proton accelerators.

Equipment and Apparatus

Part II of the issue lists the equipment used in the experiments, including:

• Pulsed X-ray apparatus (Type "Arina-5")
• Melted quartz reactors
• Stationary video camera
• Gamma and neutron detectors
• Multimeter
• Field sensors (for electromagnetic fields)
• Oscilloscope
• X-ray film and cassettes
• Microwave generators
• High-voltage sources
• Digital cameras
• Active disks of various metals (Mo, W, V, Ta, Ti, Nb, Cu, SiO2)
• Electronic recorder

Experimental Setup and Further Research

Schematics of the experimental setup for the "Pinta" installation are provided, showing its layout within a shielded room. The second phase of research (II-m stage) continued the work from the first phase (I-m stage), with a focus on investigating potential neutron radiation, exploring the creation of new semiconductor materials, and studying resonant phenomena. The research also aimed to determine the configuration and range of structural fields generated by the "Pinta" and assess the effectiveness of shielding against complex X-ray radiation. Microwave radiation was also introduced into the reactor, and experiments involved high voltage applied to grid electrodes, different reactor geometries, magnetic fields, and gas fillings. The goal was to create and launch an experimental X-ray laser.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around experimental physics, material science, and the exploration of phenomena that challenge conventional scientific understanding. The articles highlight the potential for new technologies in nanotechnology and element transmutation, suggesting that current scientific paradigms may need to evolve. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting experimental results and theoretical interpretations that push the boundaries of established physics, with a particular interest in phenomena that might be related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) or unconventional energy generation, as hinted by the comparison to Tesla's work and the exploration of energy output from the "Pinty" collector. The publication encourages further research into these complex and potentially groundbreaking areas.

This document details a series of research activities conducted on an installation referred to as "Pinta." The research spans multiple experiments focusing on various physical phenomena, including neutron emission, microwave radiation, X-ray interactions, material science, and field structure generation. The experiments were conducted over several years, with data collected from 1998-2001 and 2005-2008, and potential continuation in Autumn 2008.

Research on Neutron Emission

The initial research focused on determining the presence and characteristics of neutron emission from the "Pinta" installation. Using a neutron detector and a computer program, the presence of neutrons was confirmed. The detector was initially placed in a lead-lined room near the reactor and then moved outside this room. It was found that the neutron background radiation remained consistent both inside and outside the shielded room, and even at a distance of approximately 12 meters in an adjacent measurement room.

To protect personnel, paraffin screens (40-50 mm thick) were installed. These screens significantly reduced the neutron flux to background levels. Electromagnetic radiation from the "Pinta" was shielded by grounded steel screens.

Analysis of computer-generated graphs revealed a direct proportionality between the neutron output and the heating temperature of the samples (discs). The minimum neutron output was observed at 300°C, while the maximum was recorded between 900-1000°C. The neutron energy also increased with temperature, from 16-20 keV at 300°C to 50-60 keV at 900°C.

Experiments using a collimator (a box lined with paraffin with a 10 mm aperture) showed that the maximum number and energy of neutrons were detected when the aperture was positioned directly opposite the side of the sample disc.

Research on Microwave Radiation and X-ray Emission

Another series of experiments investigated the radiation from "Pinta" when a microwave (СВЧ) source was introduced into the reactor. A waveguide from the magnetron was passed through the center of the sample disc. Video recording and observation of the processes within the reactor were performed. When the discs were heated to 800-900°C and two microwave sources were activated along the reactor's axis, a wide beam (30 mm diameter) was observed, though it was unstable, deviating from the axis by 50-100 mm. This observation lasted for about 10 minutes.

A multimeter registered AC voltage of 2-3V at frequencies of 1.2-1.6 kHz. The conclusion drawn was that the microwave radiation interacts with and concentrates X-ray radiation along the reactor's axis within a 30 mm diameter channel.

Research on Semiconductor Materials

Experiments were conducted using molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and vanadium (V) discs scanned by the "Pinta" radiation to investigate the possibility of producing semiconductor materials. Upon heating vanadium discs to approximately 700°C, vanadium oxide films were formed. Initial tests using a four-probe method indicated that these films were semiconductor materials. The characteristics of these semiconductor properties were under further investigation at the time of writing.

Vanadium oxide melts at around 600-650°C. It was suggested that these materials could be semiconductors with high properties, capable of withstanding high radiation loads and operating at elevated temperatures (up to 400-500°C), unlike known semiconductors that typically operate up to 150°C.

Research on Mo and W crystals was planned but not yet completed. The vanadium oxide films, when magnified 100-200 times, exhibited a periodic structure resembling straight bands.

These findings were considered a promising technological application due to the low cost of production and simplicity of the setup.

Periodic structures were also observed on the surface of polished silicon plates, including individual crystals and films.

Research on Field Structures

Experiments were performed to study the field structure of "matter" generated within the reactor using X-ray films. X-ray film cassettes were placed 10-15 cm from the reactor's side. The films were processed to view the geometry and structure of the generated "field formation" or "plasma formation." The document notes that it's difficult to definitively call it plasma due to the absence of discharges, but the presence of strata suggests charge separation.

Ion-acoustic waves were mentioned, which have a longitudinal component. Cassettes were placed both alongside and at the end of the reactor. Various exposure times, from 10 seconds to 120 minutes, were used.

Simultaneous side and end views of the reactor showed a volumetric picture of a material-field formation, suggesting a three-dimensional structure. This was observed with discs made of Mo, W, Ta, Nb, and V. The best results were obtained with Mo, W, and Ti discs. The films clearly showed the structure and form of the material-field formation, described as a "plasmoid," with observed strata, vortices, and longitudinal formations concentrated along the axis. However, the narrow "beam" effect, which was a target of the research, was not achieved.

Explanation for Experimental Failures

Possible reasons for experimental failures were discussed, particularly concerning experiments conducted in the Belgorod region. The geological composition of the soil, consisting of chalk deposits up to 200 meters thick, was contrasted with the rocky terrain in Protvino, where the accelerator was designed to operate. It was hypothesized that the "Pinta" installation's physical field interacts with the surrounding environment (earth, atmosphere), and the specific geological conditions in Belgorod might not have been conducive to the expected results, unlike the conditions in Protvino or the predominantly sandy soil in Obninsk.

It was stated that the interaction of installation fields with environmental fields has been established through experiments from 1993-1999 using specialized sensors developed by Academician A.F. Okhatrin and improved by the author.

Approximately 300 X-ray films were taken and systematized. Processing these films was required to identify research pathways, but time constraints prevented this.

Some experiments utilized a third X-ray source, "Yauza-100," to "backlight" the "Pinta" reactor. This reduced exposure times to 3-10 seconds and provided clearer, more informative images.

Experiment on Energy Harvesting

An experiment was conducted to measure the electrical energy harvested from the "Pinta" installation. The research involved observing flashes of light from an LED in the visible spectrum, recorded on a video camera. The interval between LED flashes was 2-3 minutes, with each flash lasting 1 second. This suggested charge separation and accumulation within the reactor. Two hypotheses were proposed: 1) charge accumulation on one side of the current collector, passing through the solenoid coils, inducing current and potential difference; 2) a multi-layered spherical formation at the reactor's center that collapses or expands, generating potential differences.

Further research was deemed necessary, including dynamic video recording and the use of an X-ray electron-optic converter (EOP) and advanced recording equipment.

Experiments on Neutralization of Explosives

Repeat experiments were conducted to neutralize explosives (like "Zhevelo" caps and 5.6 mm cartridges) using X-ray radiation from "Pinta." After placing the explosives in the reactor for 30-60 seconds, they were tested. None of the 10 tested items detonated, indicating a potential neutralization effect.

Research with Vacuum and Inert Gases

Experiments were performed with the reactor under vacuum (down to 10^-2 to 10^-3 Torr) and filled with inert gases (He, Ar, Nz) at various pressures. The reactor had a complex geometric shape, with a quartz diameter of 100 mm and a length of 400 mm. A constriction with a convex quartz wall reduced the diameter to 40 mm. After processing X-ray films, a longitudinal dark formation (negative) was observed.

With discs made of Mo, heated to 700-800°C, the LED flickered weakly and periodically. The experiment involving vacuum and subsequent filling with gas showed the highest neutron output when nitrogen was used at a pressure of 2.5 atm. Other gases like Helium and Argon resulted in fewer neutrons.

A multi-layered field structure, described as a cocoon type, formed around the spherical reactor and its surface, visible on X-ray films and video monitor screens.

Additional Findings and Conclusions

Additional experiments were planned to weigh the "Pinta" reactor with and without the discs during operation, to observe changes in weight. The most stable discs in the assemblies were tungsten and niobium, showing the least crystal buildup.

An interesting observation was that on some days, the weight of a Mo disc with molybdenum crystals was 10-12% higher than before activation, while on other days, it was 10-12% lower after 40-60 minutes of operation.

Other Research and Future Prospects

Research was also conducted on other installations, including the "Mars" setup designed for detecting longitudinal waves and emissions from the Earth's crust to predict earthquakes. This setup reportedly detected seismic precursors 10-20 days in advance.

Another installation, "Matrix," was developed to determine the shape and amplitude of non-electromagnetic physical fields. These fields can be generated by biological objects or technological installations. The "Matrix" system could record and process field data in three dimensions, creating a volumetric image of the physical field.

Funding for these projects was provided by a private firm, totaling approximately 10-12 million rubles over three years. The document mentions ongoing research in related fields by Y.N. Ivanov (rhythmology) and a group led by A.F. Okhatrin (up to 2001), who observed weight loss in objects due to flare radiation. A group led by A. Murlykin (MAI) was also involved in similar research.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this document are the exploration of novel physical phenomena and energy sources through the "Pinta" installation, the investigation of radiation types (neutrons, microwaves, X-rays), the potential for creating new materials (semiconductors), and the study of exotic field structures. The research appears to be experimental and exploratory, with a focus on practical applications, including defense and potentially earthquake prediction. The editorial stance is one of detailed reporting of experimental procedures, observations, and preliminary conclusions, while acknowledging the need for further research and development.

This issue of "Tekhnika Molodezhi" (Technology for Youth), issue No. 9 from 1988, delves into a range of speculative and experimental topics, with a strong focus on unexplained phenomena and alternative scientific theories. The magazine explores the enduring mysteries of the Nazca Lines in Peru, the potential of non-traditional physics, and experimental research into radioactivity and X-rays.

The Enigma of Nazca

The issue prominently features an article by Erich von Däniken titled "Something is Wrong in Nazca!" (В НАСКЕ ЧТО-ТО НЕЛАДНО!). Von Däniken expresses his long-held conviction that the Nazca plateau holds secrets that defy conventional understanding and scientific explanation. He criticizes the lack of support from official science, such as the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN), for unconventional research, attributing this partly to the age and ingrained thinking of many academics.

Von Däniken emphasizes the necessity of finding connections between classical and non-traditional physics, arguing that science needs constant renewal to survive. He highlights Nikola Tesla's early experiments as an example of pioneering work that was perhaps ahead of its time. The article points to current global challenges – energy, environmental, and food crises – as reasons why exploring new scientific avenues is crucial.

He references an observation by Trincaus regarding Tesla's generators, which reportedly lost up to 20% of their weight during experiments. Von Däniken suggests that while modern materials and technology are available, the will, ideas, or funding might be lacking to pursue such unconventional research. He also touches upon the ethical considerations in developing new energy and transport technologies, referencing the Roerichs' moral-ethical code, and laments that financial interests often overshadow these principles.

The article then shifts to the Nazca Lines themselves, describing them as a "labyrinth" of mystery. It questions whether they are an astronomical calendar, totemic symbols, or something else entirely. Von Däniken criticizes the limitations of traditional archaeology in explaining Nazca, suggesting that a broader, natural science approach is needed. He recounts the history of research, mentioning Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejía Xesspe, historian Paul Kosok, and the dedicated work of Maria Reiche, who spent decades studying the lines. He notes that Reiche, shortly before her death, speculated that Nazca might be connected to shamans or spirits.

Von Däniken also addresses common misinterpretations and criticisms of his work, particularly the claim that he stated Nazca was a spaceport for alien spacecraft. He asserts that such claims are often distortions of his actual writings and are perpetuated by sensationalist media and academics who haven't read his books.

Alternative Physics and Experiments

Another significant section of the magazine focuses on experimental research in alternative physics, presented by engineer-researcher G.S. Lyapin. This section details experiments conducted to explore the interaction between magnetic fields, X-rays, and radioactivity.

Experiment 1: Radioactivity and Magnetic Fields

One experiment involved a radioactive substance (Radium, Ra) placed between two flat rectangular magnets. The setup included an "Arina-3" impulse X-ray source and a detector for measuring radioactivity. The experiment aimed to determine if X-rays and a parallel magnetic field would amplify or diminish the radium's radioactivity.

Results indicated that when the magnetic field lines were aligned in a "concordant" direction (N-S or S-N), the radium's radioactivity decreased by approximately half. Conversely, when the magnetic lines were aligned "opposingly" (N-N or S-S), the radioactivity increased by nearly double. The experiment used magnetized ferrite for the magnets and a heating element that reached 900°C.

Experiment 2: X-ray Interference

A second experiment investigated the interference of X-rays. Two identical reactors, each with a single heating element and magnets, were positioned at a 30°-40° angle to each other. X-ray film ("Retina") was used to capture the results.

The experiment showed clear interference rings on the X-ray film, demonstrating that X-rays exhibit wave-like properties. Further examination of the film, when magnified, revealed what appeared to be magnetic field lines or some other structural field of the X-radiation, suggesting that this method could be used to visualize magnetic field lines in various setups.

Lyapin concludes that these experiments open possibilities for controlling and modulating radioactivity and that the observed phenomena might be related to the field-based propulsion systems of UFOs, which do not rely on conventional thermochemical reactions.

UFO Propulsion and New Physics

The magazine posits that UFO propulsion systems are likely based on field physics, creating movement through field structures around the craft. It cites the work of researchers like John Searle, Viktor Schauberger, A.F. Okhatrin, R.F. Avramenko, and A.V. Chernetsky as examples supporting this idea. Lyapin expresses his belief that bridging traditional and new physics is essential for future progress in understanding nature.

Research on Nazca by Gunter Reppchen

Another section discusses the work of Professor Gunter Reppchen from the Institute of Technology and Economics in Dresden. Reppchen, a proponent of precise measurement and scientific rigor, was involved in detailed measurements at Nazca. His team aimed to create a digital model of the entire Nazca region, including all figures and lines. The article highlights Reppchen's approach, which involved asking questions rooted in exact sciences, such as the nature of the lines, their magnetic properties, and soil conductivity, rather than purely archaeological inquiries.

Reppchen recognized the need to involve the Peruvian university for research permits, as Nazca is a UNESCO World Heritage site where unauthorized investigations are prohibited. The article implies that Reppchen's research was intended to be interdisciplinary, bridging archaeology with other scientific fields.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of unexplained phenomena, particularly the Nazca Lines, and the pursuit of alternative scientific theories, especially in physics. The magazine champions a forward-thinking, open-minded approach to science, encouraging research beyond established paradigms. It suggests that current scientific understanding is incomplete and that new discoveries, potentially inspired by historical pioneers like Nikola Tesla and observations of phenomena like UFOs, are necessary for progress. The editorial stance appears to be one that values curiosity, experimental investigation, and the integration of different scientific disciplines to unravel complex mysteries.

This issue of the magazine, published in 1996, details the findings of a German-Peruvian research expedition in the Nazca region of Peru. The project was financed by Erich von Däniken and involved a multidisciplinary team of scientists.

The Team and Funding The research team was assembled over several months, comprising specialists from various universities, all experts in their respective fields. The team was led by Dr. Kerstin Harsch, a geologist with a keen interest in unusual questions. The project was funded by Erich von Däniken's organization. Collaboration included the Dresden Institute and the Catholic University of Peru. Obtaining permits to work in Nazca was crucial and was facilitated by the German embassy and the National Institute of Culture. The team included geophysicists from the Technical Institute in Clausthal (Prof. Dr. A. Weller) and mineralogists/geochemists from the Mining Academy in Freiberg (Prof. J. Machullat and Hartzen-dorf). Drs. Reppchen and Harsch made multiple trips to Peru to piece together the puzzle, dealing with the use of sophisticated measuring equipment, negotiations with institutes, and logistical arrangements for students.

Investigations in Nazca The research covered various aspects of the Nazca region, including geophysical surveys, geochemical analysis, and the study of unusual materials. The team conducted magnetic measurements, geoelectric surveys, and analyzed soil content. Surprisingly, no magnetic or geoelectric measurements had been conducted in Nazca prior to this project, as such investigations were considered irrelevant by archaeologists.

Surface and Subsurface Anomalies Initial investigations focused on common elements and minerals. In areas where wind had deposited or removed fine-grained material ('hamadas'), iron, manganese, aluminum, potassium, copper, gold, and silver were found. Clay was frequently found near the scratched drawings. On the southern end of a 'runway' on a 'cut-off mountain' (designated by the author), a small stone structure was discovered and classified as a ceremonial site.

The 'cut-off mountain' with its zigzag line, visible beneath the 'runway', particularly interested the author, but research was prohibited in this specific area by an archaeologist, Dr. Markus Reindel, who had been excavating in Nazca for years. This prohibition, despite the seemingly harmless nature of the proposed measurements, raised questions about potential hidden truths or feared results.

Geoelectric and Magnetic Measurements Despite the prohibition on the 'cut-off mountain', the research team proceeded with their work elsewhere. They investigated geoelectric irregularities on the 'runways'. By inserting probes into the soil and emitting weak alternating current pulses, they measured the electrical resistance of the soil. The results showed significant deviations, with electrical resistance in some areas being thousands of times higher than expected, particularly at the end of a wide line ('runway') and a narrow line. These high resistance areas were identified in 'Area No. 4' and on the 'Pampa del Calendario', where the center of electrical resistance was found at a depth of 2 meters.

Strong electrical anomalies were also detected in some locations, even though nothing unusual was visible on the surface. The cause of these anomalies remained undetermined.

Magnetic field measurements were also conducted using a modern cesium magnetometer. Due to the Earth's natural magnetic field, measurements along the north-south axis were not feasible, but east-west magnetic lines could be measured. These geomagnetic measurements revealed distinct differences between the lines and the surrounding undisturbed environment. On the 'Pampa del Calendario', a uniform network of magnetic anomalies was found within one of the 'pistes'. The magnetic measurements were so distorted that they could not be included in the calculations.

At the 'P2' site (Sacramento), new electrical anomalies were identified, and beneath the zigzag lines, high electrical resistance was found below the surface. Similar linear areas of high resistance were observed at shallow and deeper intervals.

Even though Dr. Reindel had forbidden measurements on the 'cut-off mountain', probes were successfully placed in two locations. A geoelectric profile near the zigzag line revealed structures with high resistance that coincided with the visually observed zigzag line. High electrical anomalies were also detected on the surface of this 'cut-off mountain', despite the absence of any visible irregularities.

The 'Water Riddle' On the 'cut-off mountain', the 'piste' did not cover the entire summit. Edges covered with zigzag lines were found on both sides. The angular points of these lines coincided with the terrain, forming furrows with loose material, likely formed by rare downpours. Water should have flowed directly across the zigzag lines, creating streams and depositing sediment. However, the zigzag lines were not washed away, which presented a puzzle. Erosion channels leading down the slope were up to 2 meters wide, indicating heavy rainfall. Despite this, photographs showed that nothing remained of the eroded material, and pronounced magnetic anomalies were also detected in this area.

The 'Piste' and its Age Two 'pistes' on the 'Pampa San Ignacio' were found to be intersecting. The research group confirmed that one 'runway', designated 'z', was older than 'runway' 'w'. This conclusion was based on comparison, but did not indicate their absolute age. The author suggests that the entire Nazca cult is much older than archaeologists believe, as the 'pistes' and lines are almost indistinguishable and lie beneath the gravel. Magnetic anomalies were also noted in this area, with measurements indicating a series of clearly defined, strange magnetic anomalies.

Arsenic and Amorphous Material The research also investigated the chemical elements present. Besides common elements like molybdenum, zirconium, rubidium, zinc, cobalt, and manganese, unusually high concentrations of arsenic were found, exceeding normal levels by 10-17 times. The question arises whether this indicates ancient mining activities.

Dr. Kerstin Harsch also drew attention to a peculiar white material found along the Pan-American Highway, amidst the debris. Mineralogical analysis revealed that this material consisted of about 70% amorphous matter and no clay. Scanning electron microscopy identified glass-like structures, indicative of very rapid cooling after intense heating. This amorphous substance, lacking crystalline structure, was a significant discovery.

The 'Candelabro' Connection The author draws a parallel between this amorphous material and a substance found near the 'Candelabro' in Paracas Bay. The 'Candelabro' is a trident-shaped geoglyph, 280 meters high, visible from the ocean. The author had previously sifted through the white material forming its prongs, which looked like salt but did not taste like it. He questions whether the 'Candelabro' is composed of the same material as the amorphous substance found under the gravel in Nazca, noting that no chemical analyses of the 'Candelabro' material had been conducted.

Scientific Conclusions The German-Peruvian research group presented several conclusions: 1. Magnetic measurements showed clear differences between the lines and 'pistes' compared to the undisturbed surroundings. 2. Geoelectric measurements revealed unexpected anomalies at depths of up to 2 meters below the geoglyphs. 3. The geological environment of Palpa-Nazca is characterized by an unusually high content of arsenic in sedimentary rocks. 4. A white material, consisting predominantly of glass, was found in some debris piles around Palpa, its origin remaining unexplained.

The research in Nazca is ongoing, with 260 rock samples still to be analyzed. The current findings suggest that the region is characterized not only by electrical and magnetic anomalies and high arsenic content but also by higher-than-average gold and mica (muscovite) content. The author posits that these findings might relate to ancient mining activities.

A Leap of Thought to India The author then speculates about the origins of the Nazca lines, proposing a hypothesis based on ancient Indian literature. He references Sanskrit texts describing giant spacecraft ('mother ships') orbiting Earth, from which smaller craft ('vimanas') descended. These 'vimanas' are also referred to as 'sky jewels' in Tibetan, 'barques of the gods' by Egyptians, and 'glory of the Lord' by Ezekiel. The author likens them to modern 'space shuttles'. He suggests that one of these 'vimanas' may have searched for raw materials in the Nazca region, using unmanned robotic apparatus for extraction. These robots might have operated within specific boundaries, possibly guided by electrical and magnetic deviations.

The author believes that the Nazca lines and figures were created by indigenous tribes who observed these 'gods' and their activities. The confusion and variety of lines and figures suggest that different tribes and generations created different signs, possibly orienting them towards constellations or celestial events. He argues that there is no single, unified system behind the Nazca geoglyphs; they are not a map, a cultural atlas, or an airport. Instead, they represent the diverse ideas of different tribes and generations. The author concludes that the cult likely originated from these prehistoric flights, as evidenced by figures pointing to the sky, found not only in Nazca but also across a wider region from Chile to the southern USA.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance The magazine consistently explores unconventional explanations for ancient mysteries, particularly those related to the Nazca lines. The editorial stance appears to favor hypotheses involving advanced ancient technology or extraterrestrial influence, as evidenced by the author's leap to ancient Indian texts and his interpretation of the Nazca geoglyphs as a response to perceived 'sky gods'. The issue highlights the tension between conventional archaeological interpretations and alternative theories, emphasizing unexplained phenomena like magnetic anomalies, unusual material compositions, and the sheer scale and precision of the Nazca geoglyphs.

This issue of "Sagenhafte Zeiten" (Fabulous Times), issue number 3 from 2006, delves into a variety of enigmatic topics, including the Nazca Lines in Peru, the alleged Nazi Antarctic base '211', astronaut Edgar Mitchell's claims about alien visitation, hacker Gary McKinnon's discoveries, and anomalies on the Moon. The magazine presents research and evidence from various sources, often challenging conventional explanations.

Nazca: A Place of Ascension

The article on Nazca discusses the logical connection between a place of 'ascension to heaven' and the need for water and food, leading to the discovery of aqueducts and cultivated fields. The author notes the immense variety of figures, 'pistes', and lines in Nazca, describing the experience as overwhelming. Archaeological dating of the soil drawings is deemed insufficient to explain the origin of the Nazca puzzles. The research emphasizes that throughout history, people have performed impossible feats in the name of religion, driven by incomprehensible events. The author's research is focused on these initial, inexplicable occurrences.

The article acknowledges the contributions of participants in Erich von Däniken's research, particularly Professor Günther Reppchen and Dr. Kerstin Harz, for their efforts in seeking scientific, even if unorthodox, solutions. It calls for continued research, especially in the field of archaeology.

A bibliography lists several works related to Nazca, including publications by Toribio Mejia Xesspe, Paul Kosok, Maria Reiche, and Erich von Däniken.

AGARTA - Base 211

This section investigates the existence of a supposed Nazi refuge, 'Base 211', under the ice of Antarctica. The author claims to have found Soviet archival documents confirming this theory. A report from June 28, 1945, details the discovery by 'SMERSH' counterintelligence of 38 maps in the German Navy headquarters in Berlin, marked 'only for captains of U-boats of the Führer's convoy'. These maps reportedly show underwater passages leading to 'AGARTA' beneath Antarctica. The maps were printed in the Dachau concentration camp in January 1944, indicating extreme secrecy, with all involved in their production allegedly eliminated.

Another document from July 12, 1945, shows Admiral N. G. Kuznetsov being tasked with investigating this find. A subsequent letter from October 17, 1945, from Kuznetsov to V. N. Merkulov, indicates the readiness of three submarines for a reconnaissance convoy to Antarctica. A further discovery in August 1945 involved a secret notebook containing summarized orders from Hitler and Himmler concerning the selection of personnel for Antarctic deployment, belonging to a Wehrmacht colonel who was being sought by counterintelligence.

The article mentions a cryptic instruction on the maps: '...When traversing the path on the surface within the grotto, the appearance of both aerial and underwater objects is possible. Firing upon these objects is forbidden...' Analysis of German navigation charts suggests a large cavity where German submarines surfaced before proceeding through subglacial tunnels, with its dimensions and geography resembling Lake Vostok.

The author is identified as Nikolay Valeryevich Subbotin, director of the public organization 'Russian Ufological Research Station (RUFORS)' in Perm.

Astronaut Edgar Mitchell: 'Aliens are Small, with Big Heads'

This article reports on the revelations of former American astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who, in a July 2008 interview with British radio, stated that UFOs are real and that governments have been hiding this information for about 60 years. Mitchell claimed to have spoken with military and intellectual circles who confirmed alien visitation. He described aliens as similar to traditional depictions: small with large heads.

The article links Mitchell's statements to the 1947 Roswell incident, where a 'flying saucer' allegedly crashed with an alien crew. Mitchell believes the eyewitness accounts of seeing four dead aliens are true, contradicting the official military explanation of a secret balloon crash. He notes that the military initially reported a 'flying saucer' crash before retracting the story.

Mitchell recounted his own experience of visiting the Pentagon in the late 1990s to seek the truth about Roswell, where he met an admiral who confirmed the UFO crash but advised Mitchell to remain ignorant of the details. Mitchell believes the cover-up began with President Truman and involved a special committee with the authority to conceal information about aliens, even from presidents.

He mentioned that President Clinton's representative was unsuccessful in uncovering the truth, as were attempts by Brigadier General Barry Goldwater and Presidents Ford and Jimmy Carter. However, during Carter's presidency, information about aliens gradually began to emerge.

Mitchell dismissed NASA's involvement in the information he received, suggesting the agency is not privy to governmental alien secrets. He reiterated that he personally had not seen a UFO or encountered aliens on the Moon but had studied eyewitness accounts. He expressed belief that humanity could achieve the same level of technology as aliens, who he considered not dangerous.

The article also touches upon Mitchell's background, his 9-hour spacewalk on the Moon, his interest in parapsychology, and his belief in the potential for human consciousness to connect with the universe.

By the Way

Astronaut Gordon Cooper stated in 1997 that UFOs exist and that he had seen them himself. He recounted an incident in the early 1950s while serving as a pilot in Germany, where his squadron was scrambled to intercept unidentified aircraft that flew much higher and faster than their MiG-15s, describing them as metallic discs.

In 1957, while serving as a test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base, Cooper observed a 'flying saucer' approximately 10 meters in diameter land on a dry lakebed. The landing was filmed by base operators, but the footage was sent to Washington and never recovered, leading Cooper to conclude that the government was concealing significant information about aliens.

Meanwhile

This section discusses hacker Gary McKinnon, who gained access to classified Pentagon and NASA materials. McKinnon reportedly hacked into 97 computers between 2001 and 2002, seeking information on UFOs, antigravity, and alien-derived technologies. He claimed to have discovered a 'Project of Secrecy' and about 400 witness testimonies related to UFO sightings.

McKinnon stated that NASA employees spent considerable time retouching satellite photos to remove UFOs. He managed to retrieve an unprocessed image showing a cigar-shaped object with spheres on its sides hovering above Earth. He also claimed to have accessed a file named 'Non-Terrestrial Officers', listing names and ranks of US Air Force officers not found in any other documentation, suggesting they might serve on spacecraft.

The article notes that McKinnon faces a potential 70-year prison sentence in the UK for his hacking activities.

Crystal Palaces of Selena

In 1999, Richard Hoagland, head of the international organization 'Mission on Mars', presented findings from analyzed lunar photographs taken in the 1960s-80s and classified by NASA and the Pentagon. Hoagland claimed these images depicted objects of clearly artificial origin, and neither NASA nor the Pentagon has refuted his claims.

The article highlights the 'crystal towers' on the Moon, specifically mentioning the Ukert crater in the 'Sinus Medii' region. Unlike typical craters, Ukert is described as a right-angled triangle with a side of approximately 25.7 km, containing an 'inverted' pyramid. High-quality photographs of this object remain classified.

Near Ukert, a three-kilometer-high mound resembling a tower has been recorded, and nearby, an 11-kilometer-high hill forms a structure described as a giant castle or city with walls and towers. Computer analysis of photographs revealed that the most illuminated areas were the 'interiors' of these formations, suggesting they are made of a semi-transparent crystalline material with properties similar to steel, lacking terrestrial analogues.

Architecture of the 'Aliens'

Hoagland was not the first to question the Moon's uninhabitability. In 1979, engineers Vito Saccheri and Lester Hughes reported mysterious lunar photographs showing Egyptian-like pyramids, structures, and pipelines. In the 1980s, scientist George Leonard analyzed images from the 'Ranger-7' probe, identifying giant mechanisms called 'X-drones', estimated to be 1.5 to 4.5 km long, located within craters. Leonard theorized these were devices for excavating lunar material to create underground facilities.

The existence of extensive subsurface voids on the Moon had been theorized for a long time, including by astrophysicist Carl Sagan in 1962 and Alexander Deutsch. Subsequent scanning confirmed the presence of such voids.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of "Sagenhafte Zeiten" consistently explores themes of unexplained phenomena, government secrecy, and alternative historical narratives. The articles present evidence and theories that challenge mainstream scientific and historical consensus, particularly concerning UFOs, ancient civilizations, and extraterrestrial intelligence. The editorial stance appears to favor open investigation into these subjects, even when they involve unconventional or controversial ideas, encouraging readers to question official accounts and consider possibilities beyond established knowledge.

This issue of "Тайны ХХ века" (Mysteries of the 20th Century), dated May 2010, delves into profound questions about extraterrestrial civilizations, the nature of reality, and unexplained phenomena. The content is primarily in Russian, with a focus on ufology and speculative science.

Ancient Civilizations on Mars and the Moon

The magazine presents evidence suggesting the existence of ancient, highly developed civilizations on Mars and the Moon. It cites reports of structures found on these celestial bodies, including hexagonal and octagonal craters on the Moon, some with towers up to 1.5 kilometers high. Photographs allegedly show metal-glass domes over lunar craters, with internal structures resembling rebar. On Mars, descriptions include tunnel pipelines, pyramids, and rectangular frames of unknown mechanisms. The article suggests that these structures, though eroded by meteor impacts, point to a deep antiquity and that the inhabitants may not have entirely abandoned these sites, citing unexplained lights and flying objects.

Extraterrestrial Presence and Earth's History

It is proposed that these extraterrestrial civilizations may have visited Earth, leaving behind artifacts and 'human-like' footprints found in geological layers dating back millions of years. The proximity of the Moon suggests it could have been a base for these visitors. A significant discovery mentioned is the 'Bermuda Pyramid,' a massive pyramid found submerged in the Sargasso Sea in May 1992, reportedly with sides of 25.7 km, a dimension that matches a similar structure, Crater Ukert, on the Moon.

The author, Orest Timinsky, in a report for a ufological conference, posits that the discovery of ruins on Mars and the Moon is crucial for understanding UFO phenomena. He suggests that UFO crews visiting Earth might be descendants of these ancient spacefaring civilizations. The article notes that official confirmation from organizations like the UN is pending due to political and military reasons in the US.

The narrative of these extraterrestrial neighbors suggests they were forced to leave their home planet due to unbearable living conditions, possibly thousands of years ago when Earth was sparsely populated by primitive humans. They may have found Earth's gravity (9.8 m/s²) too high and settled on Mars and the Moon, where gravity is significantly lower.

UFO Technology and Energy Sources

The issue touches upon the industrial infrastructure built by these beings on Mars and the Moon, including underground and underwater bases on Earth. It speculates that a decline in their population might be due to genetic factors, leading them to collect biological materials from Earth's flora, fauna, and humans to sustain themselves. The article mentions the creation of crop circles, attributing some to human activity for commercial purposes, while others are linked to UFO operations.

Regarding UFO propulsion, the article suggests they utilize proton decay energy, a source thousands of times more powerful than atomic energy. The development of proton-decay elements is mentioned, with the first such element created in 1981. Japanese videos purportedly showing UFO-like craft with plasma shells are cited as potential evidence.

The Simulation Hypothesis

A significant portion of the magazine explores the simulation hypothesis, drawing on the work of philosopher Nick Bostrom. The article suggests that our reality might be a virtual construct, citing perceived order in seemingly chaotic events, such as the periodicity of earthquakes and ice ages, and unusual coincidences, like the Sofia apartment thief falling onto another thief with the same name. It also highlights the uncanny parallels between the lives and assassinations of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy.

The article posits that if we are virtual beings, we must strive to fulfill our potential to avoid being 'deleted' from the simulation. This concept is linked to ancient Indian philosophy, where the world is seen as an illusion ('maya') created by the god Brahma's thoughts.

Interstellar Communication and Reality Games

Another section discusses the concept of an 'intergalactic internet' proposed by John Learnerd, suggesting that civilizations could use Cepheid variable stars to transmit information across vast cosmic distances. The regular dimming and brightening of these stars, which helps measure cosmic distances, could be manipulated to encode messages.

Alexander Dmitriev's article, 'Games with Reality,' explores Carl Jung's ideas about space-time shifts. It recounts an incident in Alaska in 1950 where an ice rink transformed into a prehistoric swamp, and later returned to normal, with witnesses experiencing 'jumps' into prehistoric times. The article suggests that such events might be influenced by human thoughts and desires, or that time itself responds to these mental states.

Conclusion

The issue concludes by emphasizing that the discovery of ancient ruins on Mars and the Moon has been pivotal in understanding UFO phenomena. It suggests that by logically correlating accumulated ufological data with modern scientific advancements, humanity can begin to formulate answers to fundamental questions about UFOs and our shared history. The article lists several sources, including books by R. Hoagland and M. Bara, and various UFO journals.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the existence of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, their potential impact on Earth's history and present, the technological capabilities of UFOs, and the philosophical implications of our reality possibly being a simulation. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these unconventional topics, presenting speculative theories alongside reported evidence and scientific concepts, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional understanding. The magazine aims to explore mysteries and provide alternative perspectives on unexplained phenomena.

Title: ТОННЕЛЬ (TUNNEL)
Issue: № 37 (2010)
Publisher: АКАДЕМИЯ ИНФОРМАЦИОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ И ПРИКЛАДНОЙ УФОЛОГИИ

This issue of "ТОННЕЛЬ" (TUNNEL) explores various facets of UFO phenomena and extraterrestrial encounters, featuring personal testimonies, official reports, and scientific speculation.

Key Articles and Features

Гибель Инопланетянина в Швеции (The Death of an Alien in Sweden)

Authored by Вадим Ильин, this article recounts a personal experience from 1955. The narrator, working as a lumberjack with his brothers on the coast of the Botnic Gulf in Sweden, witnesses a cigar-shaped object crash. Upon investigation, they find a humanoid alien, described as about a meter tall, with a yellow complexion, black eyes, and unusual physical characteristics, including wounds on his face and gill-like structures on his neck. The alien communicates telepathically, revealing he is from another planet and that Earth is visited by representatives of several advanced civilizations. He explains that his 'suit' is a life-support system and that he is dying. He instructs the narrator to place his body in a sack and throw it into a river, warning not to touch it. The alien speaks of the nature of time and existence before passing away. The narrator later identifies the alien from a photograph shown at a UFO exhibition and retrieves a metallic rod, a 'pencil' device, left behind by the alien as proof.

The Mystery of the "Vargdor"

In Pretoria, South Africa, the narrator, Эрксон Горике, stumbles upon a series of articles from 1917 about a mythical character named "Vargdor," who is said to specialize in transporting people and objects to different eras, countries, and even planets. This discovery is linked to strange events that preceded shifts in space-time, suggesting that the folklore of Vargdor might hold a kernel of truth.

Пришельцев Тянет к Юкатану (Aliens are Drawn to Yucatan)

Authored by Юрий Басистов, this section details a significant event on March 5, 2005, when Mexican Air Force pilots detected unidentified flying objects over the Yucatan Peninsula. A jet fighter on patrol spotted a point on its radar, which turned out to be an object that rapidly accelerated, exceeding the capabilities of the military aircraft. The object performed complex maneuvers, and other similar objects were also observed. The incident was recorded by air traffic control, noting the presence of three, then four, five, and finally eight unknown objects. The Mexican government, for the first time, authorized the publication of radar images of these objects, causing a stir among both UFO enthusiasts and skeptics. Skeptics, like astronomer Иоганнес фон Файтцингер, attributed the sightings to Venus or other planets, while others, such as members of the "Skeptic" international union, rely on statistics to dismiss such phenomena.

"Я тучка, тучка, тучка..." (I am a cloud, a cloud, a cloud...)

This subsection critiques the skeptical explanations for UFO sightings, highlighting the tendency of skeptics to dismiss evidence with simplistic explanations. It mentions the "Skeptic" union and their statistical approach to disproving UFOs, suggesting that 98% of sightings have natural explanations, though the thoroughness of investigations is questioned.

Уфологи объединяются (Ufologists Unite)

This part discusses the growing organization of ufologists worldwide. It mentions MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) as a major international organization and SEPRA in France, supported by the state. APRO in the US is also highlighted, with its staff being experts in alien contact. It notes that Lieutenant Colonel Wendell Stevens of APRO has compiled a vast UFO archive.

Изогнутое пространство (Curved Space)

This section presents the perspective of astronaut Вальтер, who finds the idea of aliens visiting Earth implausible due to the vast distances and the lack of known propulsion systems capable of interstellar travel. He argues that UFO evidence often dissolves under scrutiny. However, it also introduces theories, such as those proposed by physicist Мичио Каку, suggesting that advanced civilizations might utilize 'accelerator systems' to bend space-time, making interstellar travel possible without physically traversing the distance. This concept of 'curved space' allows a spacecraft to appear at its destination instantaneously.

Теория супернитей (Superstring Theory)

This theory posits the existence of 'superstrings' made of extremely hard matter that can manipulate time and space on a cosmic scale, potentially allowing for travel across vast distances and even through time. The theory, supported by researcher Рихард Готт, aligns with Einstein's views on time and space. However, it requires immense energy, billions of volts, which seems unattainable. Yet, Мичио Каку believes that the pace of scientific discovery is accelerating, and future civilizations might harness such energy, possibly from black holes, to achieve these feats. This could explain the varied nature of UFOs, including their potential origin from the future.

Разум есть на 200 000 планет! (Intelligence Exists on 200,000 Planets!)

Researcher Иозеф Силк estimates the probability of extraterrestrial visitation. Based on calculations, he suggests that our Milky Way galaxy may host around 200,000 planets with intelligent life. Considering the galaxy's age of 13 billion years, these civilizations could have achieved incredibly advanced levels of development. The distance to such civilizations is estimated to be at least 100 light-years, which is considered relatively small in cosmic terms.

С нами Стивен Спилберг! (Steven Spielberg is With Us!)

In 2006, a symposium on UFO phenomena was held in Calabria, Italy, organized by the Italian National Ufological Center. The event brought together specialists in various scientific fields, as well as military personnel and journalists. Notably, American director Steven Spielberg spoke about how cinema portrays aliens from extraterrestrial civilizations. The article concludes by stating that the debate between "cosmic romantics" and "earthly skeptics" continues.

НЛО НАД ВОЕННОЙ БАЗОЙ (UFO Over a Military Base)

Authored by Галина Сиднева, this article details an incident that occurred on April 11, 1980, at the La Joya Air Base in Arequipa, Peru. Soldiers and officers witnessed a stationary object in the sky resembling a "balloon." Former Peruvian Air Force pilot Оскар Санта Мария Хуэртас reported his experience at a press conference in Washington D.C. in 2007. He was ordered to intercept the object with his fighter jet. The round object, approximately 10 meters in diameter, hovered at an altitude of about 600 meters and reflected sunlight. Despite firing 64 rounds from his 30mm cannon, the object evaded the attack and ascended rapidly to an altitude of 11,000 meters. Хуэртас pursued the object for 21 minutes, noting its streamlined, cream-colored dome and metallic base, with no visible engines, windows, or antennas. He described it as a completely unknown UFO. The incident was later documented by the US Department of Defense under the title "UFO in Peru."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the possibility of extraterrestrial life and advanced civilizations, presenting a range of evidence from personal testimonies to official military reports. While acknowledging skeptical viewpoints, the editorial stance leans towards an open-minded investigation of UFO phenomena, often highlighting the limitations of current scientific understanding and the potential for future discoveries. Themes of time travel, advanced technology, and the vastness of the universe are recurrent, suggesting a belief in the extraordinary and the unexplained.

This issue of TONNEL magazine, published by the Academy of Informational and Applied Ufology and the International Ufological Association, delves into sensational claims regarding extraterrestrial activity.

Aliens Occupy Secret NASA Base on the Moon!

The lead article, authored by Galina Sidneva, reports a startling claim from a high-ranking, anonymous NASA employee. This individual alleges that the US space agency's top-secret 'Prometheus' project, involving a clandestine base on the Moon established in 1996 for nuclear weapons testing, was recently attacked and occupied by alien beings. The employee, who works in NASA's little-known Laboratory for the Reflection of Extraterrestrial Danger at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, provided details suggesting the aliens were responsible for the takeover. Despite official denials from NASA, the source expressed concern that the truth about such situations cannot be hidden indefinitely.

According to the report, NASA's control services in Houston detected the attack on the 'Prometheus' base on May 17, 2002, at 5:00 AM. A former astronaut involved in the project mentioned that future lunar missions might involve reclaiming the base and dealing with the aftermath. He also alluded to past encounters with aliens on the Moon, where they were almost caught but avoided direct confrontation.

The anonymous NASA employee described the beings as resembling 'bundles of reeds with large heads on flexible stems, spreading a whitish mist around them.' The motive behind the alleged occupation remains unknown, as the aliens have not issued any demands.

Visitors on the Island

Another article, written by Valery Nechiporenko, recounts a personal experience and local legends from Puerto Rico. The author shares excerpts from letters sent by his cousin, Mikhail Ermolaev, a sailor who emigrated to the USA. Ermolaev describes a remarkable phenomenon he witnessed near the coast of Puerto Rico, a US territory.

While sailing on a tugboat approaching Puerto Rico through the Mona Passage, Ermolaev observed a giant, transparent dome emerge from the sea. Water swirled around it like a whirlpool, creating a rainbow effect. From within the sea, a massive, dark blue, irregularly triangular aircraft slowly ascended, filling the dome. The dome then vanished, and the object, now silver and featureless, rose silently into the sky. The captain recognized the event, indicating it was not uncommon for them.

Ermolaev later learned from locals that UFO sightings have been reported for generations, possibly dating back to the 19th century. Many Puerto Ricans believe there is a submerged alien base in the Mona Passage, located not just underwater but beneath the seabed. Some claim to have visited it. These aliens reportedly abduct individuals for short periods, returning them unharmed, during which they showcase their underwater facilities. The alleged base is described as vast, stretching for dozens or even hundreds of miles, housing UFOs of various shapes and sizes, including enormous craft and small ones.

Descriptions of the aliens themselves are consistent: short, thin beings with large, pear-shaped heads, grey skin, large, slanted eyes (dark or light), a mouth like a narrow slit, and no visible ears. Their noses are described as two small openings.

Local residents also point to other suspected alien base locations on the island, such as Laguna Cartagena lake and the Cordillera Central mountain range, as well as mangrove swamps. The article mentions a phenomenon where individuals caught in the beams of a hovering UFO become transparent, revealing their skeletons, with no lasting effects once the beam is removed.

Cover-ups and Suspicions

A more sensitive aspect discussed is the alleged complicity of the US military, intelligence agencies, and NASA with the aliens. Locals reportedly believe these entities maintain business contacts with extraterrestrials and actively conceal these interactions, sometimes eliminating witnesses. A case is cited of a fisherman named Vega from La Paraguera, who allegedly found a slightly open hatch leading to an underground chamber where he saw American officers and aliens conversing. After Vega reported this, the hatch disappeared, and he was later found hanged, with his death officially ruled a suicide due to family problems. His friends and neighbors dispute this, believing Vega was silenced for being a witness.

Those who have had direct contact with aliens or witnessed interactions between them and military personnel in Puerto Rico are said to remain silent for fear of their lives. Information is often shared only through rumors.

An incident on December 28, 1988, is recounted where a large triangular UFO reportedly absorbed two American fighter jets. The article notes that since the military did not report any crashes or missing aircraft, it's presumed the jets were unharmed and returned to their base. This event was widely reported but dismissed by the Department of Defense as 'absurd journalistic invention.'

The magazine concludes by suggesting that the mysterious events in Puerto Rico and its waters, linked to UFOs, continue. Islanders are convinced that the military, intelligence agencies, and NASA possess answers but keep them secret. They also emphasize that Puerto Rico's coastal waters border the famous Bermuda Triangle, leading to speculation that the anomalies of the Bermuda zone might be caused by the powerful energy installations of alien underwater bases. This theory is shared by many Puerto Ricans.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue strongly focuses on claims of extraterrestrial presence and interaction with human institutions, particularly NASA and the US military. It highlights themes of secret bases, alien abductions, alleged government cover-ups, and the potential connection between UFO phenomena and mysterious geographical areas like the Bermuda Triangle. The editorial stance appears to be one of presenting these sensational claims as credible possibilities, drawing from insider accounts, witness testimonies, and local folklore, while acknowledging official denials. The magazine aims to inform its readers about alleged hidden truths concerning UFOs and alien life.
