    22 Novesber 1989 USSR: MEDIA REPORT MULTITUDE OF UFO SIGHTINGS ‘Leading Soviet nevspapers and Journals have recently begun publishing fan increasing number of articles and neva reports on sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in various areas of the Soviet Union. “permanent center" for the study of UFOs has been established in Moscov to conduct research and support the investigation of reported sightings. Setting the tone for this media coverage vas an article in the 9 July 1989 SOTSIALISTICHESKAYA INDUSTRITA, vhich referred to many recent reports of UFO sightings in the USSR. Intervieved by the paper, P- Prokopenkoy @irector of a laboratory for the study of “anomalous phenomena,” stated that a "permanent center" for the study of UPOs 1s being established in the Soviet Union. In addition to conducting research and presenting lectures fon UFOs, the center vill support the investigation of reported sightings. In referring to an issue of the paper published in July 1988 that included a report on "an amazing event that took place on Hill 61] near the village of Dainegorsk in Prinorskiy Kray," the article noted that the event is still under investigation. Many observers sav a flying sphere crash into one of the hill’s tvin peaks, and physicists and other scientists fron the Siberian Division of the USSR Acadeny of Sclences are still studying the "fine mesh,” "small apherical objects," and "pieces of glass" that @ considered to be snail rennants left behind by the sphere. "According to the article, the alleged spacecraft vas nearly obliterated in the crash, In studying the site, scientist A. Hakeyev reported finding gold, silver, nickel, alpha-titantua, wolybdenus, and compounds of berylliun. One of the "skeptical” physicists from Tousk has hypothesized that the so galled sphere could have been sone kind of a "plasmoid,” formed by the “interaction of geophysical force fields,” vhich captured the elenents found by Wakeyev from the atmosphere on its trajectory tovard disintegration ou the hilltop. Other researchers have generaily rejected this explanation since the amounts of various types of metals found at the site vould imply, according to this *plasmold™ theory, that “the concentration of metals in the atmosphere should exceed the present level by a factor of 4,000. @ bate Sone of the scientists have concluded that the object that crashed into Hil] 611 vas an "extraterrestrial" space vehicle constructed by highly Antelligent beings. Doctor of Chemical Sciences V. Waotskiy stated that ‘without doubt, this 13 evidence of a high technology, and it is not anything of a natural or terrestrial origin." He cited the fact that the Femants of fine mesh included bits of thin théeads vith « disneter of only 17 microns and that these threads, in turn, vere fof even thinner strands tvisted into braids. Extresely thin gold vires were discovered Antertvined in the finest threads—-evidence of an intricate technology beyond the present capabilities of terrestrial science, according to Vysotskiy. SOTSIALISTICHESKAYA INDUSTRIYA of 25 July 1989 reported that a UFO ‘sighting had been clained by engineer Yuriy Posomarenko and a group of vorkers at a collective farm in the Dnepropetrovsk region. The object vas described as a disk vith tvo beans of Light enanating from {ts sides. The witnesses maintained that they hed observed the object on the ground for ‘about 20 minutes, and that it emitted no sound vhen it flev avay. ‘The August 1989 issue of the Soviet journal NAUKA T ZHIZN included a S-page article vhich, after sumarizing the history of UFO sightings in general, contrasted sone of the vievs of the "skeptics" vith some of the ‘opinions of the "enthusiasts" on the unerous reported UFO sightings in the USSR, including incidents in Serpukhov, Petrozavodsk, and Rudaya. According to the "enthusiasts," UFOs have left evidence of visits on many occasions, including the Serputhov incident in vhich, they claia, Po left a circular depression in the grass vith a dianeter of 4 meters. ‘The skeptics auintain that most of this so-called "evidence" can be explained as having no connection vith extraterrestrial intelligence. Many of the sightings could be attributed to rocket testing, for example. ‘Academician Viadinir Vasilyevich Migulin, director of the Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere, and Radio Vave Propagation Institute in Troitsk, which has'a section for the investigation of anomalous phenonena in the atnosphere, maintains that over 90 percent of UFO sightings can be nullified by such mundane explanations. ‘STROTTELNAYA GAZETA of 16 September 1969 reported that in August & group of observers including physical scientist Eivir Kurchenko began Snvestigating another circular depressed area in « forest near Surgut after a vorker claimed that a UP0 had visited the ait . : ‘SOTSIALISTICHESKATA INDUSTRITA of 30 September 1969 noted that media all over the Soviet Union vere receiving reports of UFO sightings on the ground and in the air, adding that the paper's editorial office vas Fevieving hundreds of reports related to UFO incidents. In response to this deluge of reports, the paper intervieved Anatoliy Listratov, chairman of the section of the All-Union Astronomical and Geodesic Society assigned the study of anogalous phenomena, vho said that although his group fs till vandering around inthe darkness,” some important developnents in the investigations had recently occurred. He stated that "at the sites of the landings...the operating frequency of a erystal-controlled oscillator changes. Sinply speaking, electronic timepieces run at rates that are either too fast of too slow. Listratov noted that Soviet military officers and pilots had recently started providing some documentation on UFO sightings. As an example, he stated that he bad documentary information regarding an encounter betveen Soviet aircraft and a UFO over the city of Borisov. The crevs of tvo foriet sirerate reported seeing a large flying disk in their vicinity vith five beans of Light enanating frou itt three beans vere directed teearg fhe ground and tvo were projected upvard vien the object vas first sisived. The ground controller instructed one of the planes to alter its course eg reach the object, at which point the disk flev to the same level and ited one of its beans at the approaching Sovtet plane, dllusiasting she cockpit. Listratov cited the pilot's log as statingy "At this ties, the foptiot vas at the controls. He observed the maneuver that the shject ted Just carried out and vas able to raise his hand to shield hinsel? tree fae Mmbsarable Light. The aircraft commander vas resting in the adjoining gents and a bright ray of Light, projecting « spot vith « dianeter of20 centimeters, passed across his body.

The cause of death was listen a Teancer,* and "injury to the organism as a result of radiation frectsn miidentified flying object" vas listed as a contributing factor on the 2itigisl medical record in the hospital vhere the commander died, according to Listratov. Listratoy told SOTSIALISTICHESKAYA INDUSTRIYA that about 95 percent of UFO sightings could be explained, and investigations have often Pevcered fies fo be burned-out rocket stages or the reanants of unsuccessfal sectet interview military personnel, he noted that officers and soldiecs hee told him about their ovn encounters vith UFOs, and they had even chess fit Feports that had been completely filled gut on official feemse ONSONOLSKATA PRAVDA of 7 October reported that the Soviet Union had Just opened an official center for the study of UFOs in Hosen. ons Ogtober the Soviet nevs agency TASS reported that a UFO had landed 4m a park in the city of Voronezh.
