The Asbest Explosion: A UFO Connection?

The issue opens with an official report on a catastrophic explosion at the "Uralasbest" combine in Asbest on November 1, 1990, which claimed several lives and caused significant damage. The report notes that the substance involved was considered safe, leading to local rumors about a potential UFO involvement.

Over the years, locals reported encounters with strange beings described as 'water dwellers.' The expedition, involving UFO researchers and filmmakers, documented anomalous phenomena, including poltergeist activity, luminous 'plasmoids' resembling dumbbells, and strange lights and symbols in the sky. The researchers also reported a telepathic exchange with entities who identified themselves as 'messengers of BC' and claimed their purpose was 'to purify the atmosphere.'

"Sign of God?": Victor K.'s Contact Experience

Victor K. recounts an encounter with a being who communicated telepathically and through projected images. The being identified itself as a representative from another civilization and claimed that Earth's energy consumption was unsustainable, citing the destruction of a tenth planet as an example. Victor was offered a role as a representative on Earth and was shown a book, which he perceived as the Bible with incorrect information. The being promised to take Victor to its world in six months. Following this encounter, Victor developed healing abilities and experienced physical manifestations, including a red cross-like mark on his back.

Kozyrev's research on time as a physical factor that can be influenced.
