Ufologists Ukrainian - 1993 2

Magazine Overview

This issue of the "Gazeta Ukrainskoi ufologicheskoi assotsiatsii" (Newspaper of the Ukrainian Ufological Association), dated 1993, issue №2(11), focuses on the development of ufology in Ukraine and explores various aspects of UFO phenomena and related topics. The cover headline "AKTI. DUMKI. GIPOTEZI. FANTASTYKA" (Facts. Opinions. Hypotheses. Fantasies) sets the tone for the diverse content.

Ufology in New Conditions

The lead article, "Ufotiya v novykh umovakh" (Ufology in New Conditions) by Ivan Buryak, a board member of the UКУФАС, discusses the progress and challenges of the Ukrainian Ufological Association since its formation less than two years prior. Buryak highlights the legal registration of the association, the establishment of regional scientific research centers, and the involvement of both amateur ufologists and serious scientists. However, he points out the difficulty in realizing the association's right to earn funds through entrepreneurial activities, noting that ufologists are not adept at business. He contrasts this with the situation in Poltava, where a scientific research center was established, led by experienced ufologist E. O. Tereshchenko, but Tereshchenko's primary job limits his involvement in entrepreneurial efforts. Buryak suggests finding a proactive deputy with a business acumen. He notes that Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv are doing better, but some center leaders still hold illusions about government or local authority support. He emphasizes that in the current economic crisis, relying on external help is unrealistic, even for official science. He suggests learning from American colleagues who have established public funds and attracted sponsors for UFO research, and from Russian colleagues in Moscow, Omsk, and the Far East who have created cost-accounting units and diverse production to fund their work. He mentions a goal of collecting 1.5 million rubles for an expedition to an anomalous zone.

Buryak also notes that over two years, a database of information on UFOs and other anomalous phenomena (AЯ) has been accumulated, and research continues. He stresses the importance of systematizing, generalizing, and securely storing this information. He mentions that a well-known American ufologist, Mr. G., was skeptical of Ukrainian centers with grand names, but Buryak sees the term "scientific research" in their names as a future goal, urging efforts to make these centers truly engage in complex science.

Telepathic Contacts and Their Role on Earth

An extensive article by Irina Stepanova and Sergey Geraskin from the research group "Sirius" in Vladivostok delves into telepathic contacts (TP) and their potential connection to a global network of psychological influence, termed the "System of Control and Management" or "System." They propose that this System consists of billions of independent "robots" or "intellects" that interact to control and manage human civilization as a grand experiment. They believe the System was created by a free intellect in ancient times and is responsible for phenomena like biolocation, poltergeist activity, and telepathic contacts, all of which involve influencing the human brain and its environment.

The authors argue that telepathic contacts are not necessarily divine or extraterrestrial in origin but could be manifestations of this System. They describe how phenomena like poltergeists can involve spontaneous activation of lights and appliances, and how their group has attempted to study these phenomena using technical means. They emphasize the need for ufologists to systematically analyze contact data to identify patterns and avoid uncritical acceptance of information, especially that which is manipulative or promotes foreign psychological norms. They view the current state of Earth as a result of a grand "game" imposed by an alien intelligence.

The article also touches upon the historical context of telepathic contacts, noting their ancient origins and presence across cultures. It criticizes the tendency to attribute these phenomena to "demonic forces" or "souls of the deceased," or to dismiss UFOs as originating from "parallel worlds" due to perceived limitations of space travel. The authors suggest that many "holy figures" and religious founders were in contact with non-human intelligence (NHI).

UFOs Around Us

This section presents a collection of UFO sighting reports from various locations. One report from the Cherkasy region, Ukraine, describes a round object of 15m diameter observed at 1500m altitude moving at high speed. Another from the Kursk region, Russia, mentions a glowing red ball. A sighting from Sverdlovsk, Russia, details a dark, disk-shaped aircraft surrounded by a white cloud. A report from the Moscow region describes a yellow ball overtaking an electric train. From the Astrakhan region, a cigar-shaped object was seen moving erratically. A sighting in Baku describes a silent aircraft with illuminators and wings. The section also includes a report from Israel about a scorched clearing and subsequent UFO sightings, and a mention of a UFO observed over a freight train in Russia.

Telepathic Contacts and Their Role in Earth's History

This article by A. Petukhov explores the historical implications of telepathic contacts and their potential influence on human civilization. Petukhov discusses how phenomena like hypnosis can reveal innate knowledge of healing within individuals, citing examples of people under hypnosis accurately identifying medicinal herbs and remedies for their ailments. He posits that the human brain contains a "medical reference book" for natural healing, accessible through deep hypnosis. This suggests that individuals, regardless of their background, might possess inherent knowledge of how to treat themselves.

Petukhov also examines the role of telepathic contacts in historical events, suggesting that many ancient and modern secret societies, such as the Templars and Freemasons, may have had contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, influencing their power and actions. He discusses the connection between these groups and the development of ideologies like Nazism, citing the involvement of individuals who claimed to receive guidance from higher entities. The article questions the nature of these "higher entities," suggesting they might be part of a larger program or agenda for humanity, potentially involving the manipulation of events and the imposition of specific worldviews.

He raises concerns about the nature of information received through telepathic contacts, particularly when it comes from entities claiming to be divine or from "parallel worlds." Petukhov warns that such contacts can be manipulative, leading individuals to become "marionettes" or "bio-robots" controlled by these external forces. He emphasizes the need for critical evaluation of all contact information, considering not only scientific and logical aspects but also ethical implications, especially when such information could lead to harmful actions or social disruption.

The Phenomenon of Genetic Memory

The article "Fenomen genetychnoi pam'yati" (The Phenomenon of Genetic Memory) by V. V. Kalinets-Bryukhanov, president of the scientific research association named after Presnov, discusses the potential for accessing innate knowledge through hypnosis. Kalinets-Bryukhanov suggests that hypnosis can unlock a person's subconscious ability to identify necessary medicinal components or minerals for treating their ailments. He provides several anecdotal examples of individuals under hypnosis accurately prescribing natural remedies for conditions like dermatosis, vitiligo, and diabetes. He posits that the human brain acts as a "medical reference book" for natural healing, with this information being genetically encoded.

The author further suggests that this genetic information can be accessed through deep hypnosis, allowing individuals to self-diagnose and identify treatments. He implies that this innate knowledge is universally present and can be accessed by anyone, regardless of their background or education. The article concludes by stating that the results of special experiments conducted in medical institutions in Odesa and Moscow confirm the promising prospects of using hypnosis for prophylaxis and treatment of various diseases, suggesting that the "phenomenon of genetic memory" may hold the key to solving many currently unresolved problems in modern medicine.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue consistently emphasizes the need for a scientific and critical approach to ufology and paranormal phenomena. The articles highlight the importance of data collection, systematization, and rigorous analysis, while cautioning against uncritical acceptance of information, particularly from alleged contactees. There is a recurring theme of internal challenges within the Ukrainian Ufological Association, including funding issues and organizational conflicts. The magazine promotes the idea that ufology should be treated as a serious scientific endeavor, requiring both intellectual rigor and practical self-sufficiency. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting open investigation while maintaining a skeptical and analytical perspective, encouraging readers to think critically about the information presented and to distinguish between genuine phenomena and potential manipulation or misinterpretation.
