Content Summary:

UFOs and Anomalous Events in Australia

This section details two similar UFO sightings in Australia in February 1979. The first occurred on February 5th near Hobart, Tasmania. A witness driving at night experienced his car's radio suddenly turn off, followed by a strong white light that enveloped his vehicle. His headlights and engine then failed. He experienced a period of memory loss and could not recall what happened. Upon examination, his car's battery was drained, oil and water levels were low, and the wiring, particularly in the headlights, showed signs of overheating. The witness declined regressive hypnosis.

The second incident took place on February 9th near Innisfail, North Queensland. A farmer observed a dim white light on the side of the road, which then appeared to be a dark swarm. The light ascended vertically and emitted a blinding flash. Afterward, the farmer's car headlights and engine were inoperative. The car spontaneously restarted, and he drove home without further incident. An inspection revealed the car was in perfect working order. A UFOR representative, Mrs. H. Goriss, interviewed the farmer, who was very distressed and had no explanation for the event. Magnetic testing of the car showed no residual magnetism.

A "Bird of War?"

This section contains a personal account from December 20th, 2000, where the author describes seeing a large, bird-like object flying high in the sky. As it descended, it appeared to be an eagle, but upon closer inspection, it was enormous and moved with slow, deliberate wing flaps, like in slow motion. The object flew silently at the speed of a jet plane. It then seemed to glide towards the author before transforming into black smoke. The author connects this sighting to the bombing of Afghanistan that occurred the following day, interpreting the object's predatory appearance as an omen of war. She also mentions seeing the number 19 in the sky through trees, which she interprets as a personal warning.

UFOs and Anomalies in Crimea

Valentin Kornienko from Simferopol reports an event that occurred on August 19th or 20th, 1997, near Ay-Dag (Bear Mountain) in Crimea. At around 9:50 PM, while working at a sewage station near the sea, he witnessed a beam of light shoot from the water's surface at a 30° angle. The beam shortened, "jumped" out of the water, and became a glowing object, about 8-10 meters long and a meter wide, moving parallel to the sea surface. It flew rapidly and silently like a jet, disappearing with a soft pop. Later, a similar object, described as a "pipe," approached him directly but stopped about fifty meters away and turned towards the shore. He observed its curved shape and then its disappearance with another soft pop. He continued to observe strange light phenomena on the water until 2 AM.

"I Won't Go With You!" - A Strange Encounter

Olga Prasolova from Kerch recounts an experience from five years prior (around 1996). One autumn night, while visiting her parents, she saw a pink cloud in the east, where the sunrise occurs, despite it being 1:30 AM. The cloud condensed into a crimson sphere that moved rapidly north and then directly towards her house. The sphere, described as very large and crimson, began to descend near the house. Feeling paralyzed by fear, she mentally said, "I won't go with you." She then ran to her bedroom and hid, fearing the object would crush the house. She remained in fear until morning. She later told her family, but her niece asked why she didn't wake her. The author is unsure what the object was and seeks an explanation.

"Turned Gray Overnight" - A Case of Premature Aging

Mikhail Abramov from Arkhangelsk shares a personal experience from the night of September 16-17, 1981. At 25 years old, he and two friends went berry picking in the Belomorye forest. They got lost as darkness fell and found an abandoned hut. Around 3 AM, Abramov woke up and went outside. The night was clear with stars. He heard a growing hum, the sky darkened, thunder struck, and hail began. He then saw a glowing point in the sky moving towards him. The object descended, and he saw a woman with long hair riding a cylinder emitting a blue glow. The woman gestured at him, and he felt an electric shock. The object then rapidly moved away and disappeared. The next morning, his friends were shocked to find his hair had turned completely white. Doctors could not explain this sudden aging, and he speculates it might be due to an encounter with an alien or a witch.

The Most Mysterious Places in Zaporizhzhia

This section, compiled by Yakov Ivanov, discusses secret Soviet-era investigations into anomalous phenomena. It mentions a secret KGB department established in the mid-1950s to study such events. During the Perestroika era, information from this department was allegedly leaked to the media.

DniproGES Incident (1975): During underwater research at the base of the DniproGES dam, divers discovered a hole about a meter in diameter, described as a vertical shaft going downwards. Bubbles of pink gas periodically rose from it. Attempts to measure its depth with an 80-meter rope were unsuccessful. The next day, the "hole" had vanished.

Khortitsa Mound Incident (late 1960s): During the construction of the Khortitsa residential area, several burial mounds were slated for demolition. However, all construction machinery stopped working near one particular mound, preventing its removal. The mound was left untouched, and rumors circulated that it was the burial site of a powerful Celtic sorcerer.

Dnipro River Object (1968): While dredging the Dnipro River near Zhdanov Beach, a round object with a 25 cm diameter was recovered. Initially suspected to be a mine, explosives experts determined it was not. The object was handed over to the KGB. It was later taken to the "Dneprospetsstal" plant for analysis. Chemists could not identify the metal alloy, noting it was unlike any known steel. It was theorized to have been smelted in a vacuum at 5000°C under high pressure. The object was two-layered; the outer layer was easily drilled, but the inner material was like plasticine and hardened upon contact with air. This material was identified as structurally identical to basalt. The object was then sent to Moscow for further study. In Moscow, it was discovered to have a ribbed surface and resembled a model of Earth, but with continents positioned as they were 125 million years ago. It also had magnetic poles. Scientists concluded that areas on the object showing high iron content corresponded to the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, and gold concentrations matched areas like Western Siberia, suggesting the object was a precise geological map of Earth's mineral resources. Its fate remains unknown.

Historical Note: A report from May 1771 mentions a seer named Manefa who cursed the settlement, predicting its demise when the 700-year-old Zaporizhzhian Oak withered. The author notes the oak's poor condition and suggests a potential future cataclysm for the city.

The "Frozen Man" Case

In August 1980, a naked man's body was found on the southern tip of Khortitsa island. Upon examination, he was declared dead. However, during the autopsy, the pathologist discovered that all his internal organs were frozen, with ice crystals on the liver, despite the summer heat. A medical council was convened, and the body was kept in a room with a constant temperature of +7°C to allow the organs to thaw slowly. Twelve hours later, the "corpse's" heart began to beat. The man, who identified himself as Nikolai, revived, drank profusely, and claimed to have been abducted on July 5th, 1971, by a beam of light that caused him to lose consciousness. He described being in a chamber with a porthole and seeing Earth recede. He believed only moments had passed. Nikolai was temporarily placed in a psychiatric ward, and the KGB began investigating. They confirmed that a person with his description had gone missing in 1971, and his family identified him from a photograph. The case was classified as "absolutely secret."

"Prophets Have Failed"

This section critically examines the accuracy of astrological predictions. It begins by noting that many predictions made by famous astrologers for 1999-2000 did not come true, such as the Statue of Liberty remaining in place and no volcanic eruptions or snow in July in Germany. A report from the "Forum of Occult Sciences" in Germany stated that only 31 out of 803 predictions made between 1990-1999 were accurate (4%). Examples include Bill Clinton not resigning, Pope John Paul II remaining alive, and Prince Charles not falling ill. Conversely, the death of Raisa Gorbacheva was not predicted, while the war in Yugoslavia and the Kosovo occupation were unexpected. The tragic death of John F. Kennedy Jr. was also not foreseen; instead, he was predicted a long and successful life, including a space flight.

German astrologer Peter Nienke criticized his colleagues for "poor quality of work," stating that only one in 25 predictions came true. He attributed this to a lack of thoroughness in studying stars and horoscopes. He noted that most accurate predictions were related to parliamentary elections, with only half correctly predicting the victories of Helmut Kohl and Gerhard Schröder.

Edgar Wunder, head of an organization aiming for "supernormal reason," acknowledged the decreasing accuracy of astrological predictions, especially in the past year. He cited examples such as Karin Nagel's prediction of a "year of peace" being contradicted by the 9/11 attacks, and the lack of predictions for the war in Afghanistan. He also mentioned an Icelandic seer, Föelfffen, who predicted a war in the Middle East (a region already experiencing conflict) and an earthquake in Turkey that did not occur. Wunder highlighted that no astrologer predicted the 9/11 attacks in the USA.

He further criticized Munich astrologer Winfried Noe, who predicted a "brilliant economic situation" for Germany in 2001. Instead, economic growth slowed, and unemployment rose significantly. Noe also incorrectly predicted success for Angela Merkel, the CDU chairwoman, whose popularity declined. Wunder proposed that astrologers should focus on more specific, rather than broad, predictions.
