Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a serious, investigative approach to UFO phenomena, encouraging readers to look beyond skepticism and consider the evidence. It highlights the global and persistent nature of UFO sightings, suggesting they are not merely isolated incidents but part of a larger, complex phenomenon. The editorial stance is one of open-minded inquiry, acknowledging the limitations of current scientific understanding and embracing the possibility of extraordinary explanations. The magazine aims to educate and inform its readership about the latest research, historical cases, and the psychological and societal implications of UFO encounters. There's a clear emphasis on the 'mysterious and the unknown,' inviting readers to join in the exploration of these subjects.

This issue of "UFO plus" magazine, identified as issue #12 and volume #15, published by "Новое поколение" (New Generation) in Ukraine, focuses on the theme "ЗАБЫТЫЕ ДЕТИ ЗЕМЛИ" (Forgotten Children of Earth). The cover features a striking illustration related to extraterrestrial encounters and the magazine's title.

Thematic Exploration: Contactees and UFO Phenomena

The magazine delves into the phenomenon of 'contactees' – individuals who claim to be in communication with non-terrestrial intelligences. It highlights that such reports, while often sensationalized in the media, are not new to specialists in the field. The article "Forgotten Children of Earth" by N. Tsonava discusses the characteristics of these contacts, which often involve psychography, telepathy, and the reception of complex, non-trivial information. These communications are described as having a profound impact on the contactee, influencing their behavior and thoughts.

Case Study: The Doctor's Encounter

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the detailed account of "The Case of Doctor X." This incident, investigated by E. Michel and published in "Flying Saucer Review," describes a doctor in Southern France who, on the night of November 1-2, 1968, witnessed two disk-shaped objects merge into one. The object approached his house, emitted a beam of light, and then dematerialized. Remarkably, after this encounter, the doctor experienced a spontaneous healing of a leg injury and the disappearance of a war wound, suggesting a potential link between UFO phenomena and physical healing.

The case further details the appearance of a triangular skin pigmentation on the doctor and his infant son, which baffled dermatologists. The doctor's wife and friends also noted changes in his and his wife's mental perception. The article touches upon the possibility of psychokinetic phenomena and uncontrolled levitation associated with UFO encounters, drawing parallels with the experiences of Uri Geller and Edgar Cayce.

Ancient Mysteries and Extraterrestrial Technology

Another section, "Starry Prehistory of Humanity," by V. I. Avinsky, explores the possibility of ancient extraterrestrial contact through the analysis of historical artifacts and phenomena. The author categorizes 'technicisms' from ancient times into three classes: those understandable from an engineering perspective, those with discernible functional purposes, and those that remain inexplicable. The article highlights the 'winged objects' from the Uelen burial ground and figures from the Dechani Monastery frescoes as potential evidence of ancient alien technology, suggesting that these might be models of flying machines.

Solar Activity and UFOs

An article titled "UFOs from the Sun" presents the theory of biologist Yu. Kolesnik, who posits that UFOs are not intelligent beings but rather manifestations of solar activity. He suggests that during solar flares, the outflow of solar wind creates 'vortex rings' that can enter Earth's atmosphere and appear as luminous objects.

Other Sightings and Encounters

The magazine also includes shorter reports on various UFO sightings and encounters:

  • A woman in Berkeley, California, reported observing five round objects in the sky.
  • A press group in Khabarovsk filmed three glowing spheres and a woman reported an alien entering her apartment.
  • An incident in Belgium during a football match where a large orange 'flying saucer' appeared over the stadium.
  • A report from Ufa, where a unique locator developed by the aviation institute was tested, creating a narrow beam of green light mistaken by some for a UFO.
  • A mention of UFO activity in the North Caucasus region, with a debate on whether these are related to rocket launches or genuine extraterrestrial phenomena.

Contactee 'G' and Interdimensional Communication

A detailed account is given of a contactee referred to as 'G,' who communicates through a biology teacher named Anna Vladimirovna in Odessa. 'G' claims to have lived on Earth in the second century BCE and now resides in an interdimensional world. He provides guidance, healing, and insights into spiritual development, emphasizing the importance of human connection and purity of heart. The article includes a complex formula related to astral travel and spiritual energy, attributed to 'G.'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea that there are unexplained phenomena beyond conventional scientific understanding, ranging from UFO sightings and alien encounters to psychic abilities and ancient mysteries. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into the paranormal and extraterrestrial, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond mainstream explanations. The publication also actively promotes its other periodicals, such as "СОВЕРШЕННО СЕКРЕТНО" (Top Secret) and "СКАНДАЛЫ" (Scandals), positioning itself as a source for intriguing and unusual content for those interested in the mysterious and the unknown.

«Вся история науки на каждом шагу показывает, что отдельные личности были более правы в своих утверждениях, чем целые корпорации ученых или сотни и тысячи исследователей, придерживающихся господствующих взглядов.»
