UFO fragment. Tungsten from Space

The first mention of the discovery of some strange meteorite-like objects on the Kola Peninsula dates back to the late 70s and early 80s of the 20th century. They are described superficially in the literature, and the results of their study could not be found. It is not yet clear whether all the mentioned objects are connected or should be considered separately. V. Ivanov, in the article “There is actually nothing to be surprised,” talks about his conversation with Lieutenant Colonel A. Korshun, who describes what he found as follows:

“It’s better to tell you what I myself am a witness to. One day, together with my colleagues, we went for lingonberries to the Severomorsk-3 area. We went deeper into the forest. I look: three craters, very fresh, one larger, about three meters in radius, the other two smaller. There are fragments lying around that seem to be metal, but unusual. Crystalline structure, white-yellow color, with a tint, as if the fragments were exposed to high temperature. The size of a notebook, they look like fins. I wanted to lift one, but it didn’t work, it turned out to be heavy. I found a smaller one, but it weighed no less than 40 kilograms. Then they found a blank made of the same material. They carried her to the car with difficulty. Our find was sent to Leningrad to one of the institutes. Then information reached me that the metal turned out to be somehow special, scientists became interested in where this place was. I was there - everything was dug up by the builders, no traces. And this happened a long time ago, about eight years ago...” Further, A. Korshun says that he kept a plate of this metal for himself, but in his subconscious the phrase constantly revolved that he needed to throw it away, which he did after some time...

Similar evidence is mentioned by N. Polozok in the material: “Is there any use from UFOs” (“Youth of Estonia”, December 5, 1989): “Have you heard about UFO debris? The background to their appearance is as follows: our ship was sailing in the area of the Kola Peninsula, suddenly an earthquake with a magnitude of 2-3 occurred, at the same time on the ship they noticed that something had fallen on land. Several sailors examined the coast in the area where the object might fall. There they found the above-mentioned debris. In terms of their chemical composition, they are not typical for flying vehicles - instead of aluminum, copper predominates in the alloy, and in total the presence of 40 chemical elements was detected in the fragment. And the alloy is quite homogeneous. The most curious thing is that it contains no carbon. Besides us, the fragments were examined at the Institute of Steel and Alloys, but experts find it difficult to draw a conclusion about their origin.”

It would seem that the newspapers have inflated some non-existent rumor and there is no particular reason to trust them. If only one of the direct participants in those events, Anatoly Leonidovich Bychkov, had not contacted us. Here's what he said.

In February 1980, at about 10 o'clock in the morning, an object collided with the Earth approximately in the center of the Kola Peninsula. The blow was so strong that, according to eyewitnesses, in Severomorsk the glasses on the table jumped 10 cm, and in Leningrad the dishes in the sideboard rattled. Of course, there was a reaction from the Northern Fleet command - the coordinates of the fall were received from seismological stations and a helicopter was sent there. They took off 1.5-2 hours after the fall. It was Sunday, the crews were on vacation, at home. After half an hour of flight (the sky was cloudless), a snowstorm suddenly hit. Visibility dropped to zero, and the helicopter was returned. And when after 2 days the blizzard calmed down, an examination of the fall area yielded nothing; everything was covered with snow. But in the summer, pieces of unknown metal with torn edges, sometimes weighing up to 2 tons, began to be found in the tundra. Craftsman Yu. Chichkarev carved a “flying saucer” and a glass for pencils from the found metal. He kept the plate for himself and gave the glass to the Flemish navigator of the Northern Fleet, Rear Admiral Yu. I. Zheglov. Hydrometeorologist Gennady Kuznetsov received just a kilogram piece of this metal, which he kept in a drawer of his desk. I only briefly managed to see the “UFO model” with a glass and hold them in my hands, but the above-mentioned comrades had them constantly. After about 6-8 years they died - whether this was related to the metal is unknown, although their age was between 45-65 years. G. Kuznetsov said that he had dreams in which he was worried that “during teleportation he might get stuck in some object.” After his death, someone from Moscow came and took a piece of metal, although information about this was not advertised. In the absence of any data about the object, even the fantastic version of the disaster of an alien ship, whose crew members took on a crystalline form so as not to evaporate from the impact, was seriously considered. Research in the laboratory of a metallurgical plant allegedly showed that there are no analogues of this material on Earth. And somewhere in 1982, a two-ton piece of metal disappeared without a trace from the place where Yu. Chichkarev found it. What it really was, no one still knows.

A fragment found by E. Bachurin.
On the Internet you can even find revelations that in 1981 “a UFO exploded on the Kola Peninsula, the debris was picked up by the military...”. Obviously, the rumor was not born out of nowhere, but what was the reason for it? Obviously, ufologist geologist E. Bachurin also had similar information, who sent an expedition to the Kola Peninsula in the early 90s to search for mysterious debris. However, according to the data he has, the fall occurred in 1965, when residents of the Kola Peninsula observed the flight and then the explosion of a mysterious luminous body. As a result of the search, E. Bachurin managed to find the wreckage and deliver it to Perm. Modern research has shown that the sample consists of 99% tungsten, with a small admixture of lead and nickel impurities. There is a possibility that this piece of tungsten could be a composite fragment of a heat-resistant rocket ring or part of an engine. But in all likelihood, these samples are not related to those that A. Bychkov saw. By the way, according to him, the color is also different - in his case, the fragments were “copper-colored.”

Seids on Setnoy Island

Hyperboreans on the Kola Peninsula
Stone mysteries of the Russian Land
The path lay on the Kola Peninsula. Once upon a time, a couple of centuries ago, the Russian Pomors who came here called it Tersky, and in memory of this, the Tersky Coast still remains in the southeast of the peninsula.
And it would be most correct to call him Rybachy, because the Sami “kul” is very close to “kola” and it means “fish”. Some interpreters stubbornly defend the version that the name of the peninsula is based on the Sami “kol” - “gold”.

The large group of Muscovites included a variety of specialists - geologists, historians, archaeologists, ethnographers, philosophers and even ufologists. And they called their scientific search team “Hyperborea-98”. For they were going to find traces of the ancient and mysterious country of Hyperborea in the area of Mount Ninchurt...

At first, traveling across the Murmansk land did not present any difficulties. From the window of a railway carriage or from the back of a passing car one could admire the hilly landscape (Khibiny means “hills”), dense pine forest, calm surface of lakes, and the soft blue of the North. It’s not for nothing that one of the travelers called these regions Polar Palmyra. But it was necessary to make our way to Mount Ninchurt, and a moment came when the roads and trails ended.

We had to overcome the dangerous Lovozero on motorboats. It raged to force five, and the fragile boats began to be overwhelmed by the waves. Stories about the brave souls who sank here involuntarily came to mind... The expedition members energetically worked with scoops. Thank God, the engines did not stall... The soaked travelers landed on the isthmus between Seydozero and Lovozero. The temperature dropped to zero. After drying off by the fire and resting a bit, we decided to move towards the foot. We overcame the difficult taiga. It was hard when the swamp squelched underfoot and torrential rain poured down from above. It seemed that the warnings that some mysterious forces were inflicting “tests” on travelers entering this energy zone were justified. Anomalous zones and places of power in the Murmansk region

Not without effort we crossed the last mountain river. Finally, the long-awaited Ninchurt appeared. The mountain is like a mountain, with gentle slopes, a smoothed dome, not very high, not exceeding the main peak of the Chasna-chorr peninsula, located on the same central hill, where the Ponoy, Voronya and other local rivers originate. We put up tents and set up camp. The rain did not stop in the following days. But the expeditioners did not become disheartened. The main thing is that they are on target. They jokingly called themselves Hyperboreans.

Either with humor or in serious debates, they inclined this ghostly-mythical Hyperborea in every possible way. Maybe for successful upcoming work it was worth honoring the ancient Greek god Boreas - the son of the starry sky and the morning dawn - he was responsible for the north wind, which, to put it mildly, carried travelers to places from which there was no return... And the Hyperboreans, according to According to the mythical ideas of the Hellenes, they lived in the Far North, “beyond Boreas,” in an ideal country, where Apollo himself visited from time to time, taking a break from the summer heat.

People from this country taught people wisdom, arts, and construction. And according to their stories, there, beyond Boreas, the tribesmen, as they say, knew how to live happily ever after, in prosperity and joy, with feasts, music, dancing and songs. And even when death came, they, having experienced all the pleasures, perceived it as deliverance from the satiety of life, and ended it by immersion in the sea. It was not for nothing that Hercules headed there, to the Hyperborean land, for magic apples. The Hyperboreans also took part in the Argonauts' journey for the Golden Fleece. But myths are myths, and Homer, Aristotle, Plato, Herodotus and many other ancient authors considered it necessary to mention this mysterious country. After some oblivion, researchers at the beginning of the 20th century returned to this topic. Among others, the works of the famous historian Academician B. A. Rybakov deserved attention. Based on archaeological data, he was able to determine the geographical boundaries of this mysterious country - he placed it in the northeast of Europe. The far north of the Eurasian continent - the so-called Arctida - and according to paleoclimatology, in ancient times was not distinguished by cold weather: the temperature even in January did not drop below zero. Coniferous and broad-leaved forests grew there. The climate in these places changed only by the 4th millennium BC.

All participants in “Hyperborea-98” were worried about one obsessive question: will they be able to find any traces?
Special concerns worried the archaeologist Alexander Prokhorov. There was neither time nor opportunity to conduct excavations. But if you look closely, scrape off the top layer, there was something to notice. On one of the slopes of the mountain, Prokhorov discovered a poorly preserved but powerful masonry wall. Here they dug up the foundation of the building and a fence for a small reservoir. On the isthmus between Lovozero and Seydozero, in one of the most inaccessible places, we came across a very ancient seid. It seems nothing special; there are quite a lot of similar seids in the mountains. But on top of this large stone of a very regular geometric shape there was a kind of bath, a cavity, and in it at the very bottom there were coals. Are these traces of a ritual associated with fire?

In another place, Prokhorov took a closer look at an inconspicuous stone. It reminded him of something... The next day, antique stone anchors that he had seen in Black Sea museums surfaced in his memory. Based on the photograph, fellow archaeologists confirmed that this anchor can date back to the 4th millennium BC.

Another find on the slopes of Ninchurt. On one of the tiers, the archaeologist was struck by saw cuts, up to a dozen in a row. These are kind of windows. In Central Asia, Mesopotamia, and partly in Egypt, a very characteristic style was widespread - “blind windows,” niches located at a distance of 5-6 m from each other along the walls. The homes of the supreme nobility were decorated in this way. Only if in the East they were built in mud bricks, here on Ninchurt they were built in stone. Moreover, the block in which the “blind windows” were cut out was a rectangle of a strictly geometric shape. Perhaps it was a fragment of a wall.

Anomalous zones and places of power in the Murmansk region

There were not many finds, but, as they say, they were thought-provoking. We remembered ancient maps that depicted the ancient continent and this blessed Hyperborea... Among the few that have reached us are copies of the maps of Gerardus Mercator, who lived in the 16th century. One of them reproduced the outlines of the Northern Land most fully, with Arctida in the center. Are these not traces of the events of the X-XII centuries? BC, described in the Avesta?

The expedition to the foot of Ninchurt was led by V.N. Demin, Doctor of Philosophy. Disputes about Hyperborea fascinated him so much that he left all his office and classroom studies and rushed to the mountains. (Philosophers can be romantics!) Having summarized the research materials, he wrote a book on this topic. “A whole cultural center,” he noted, “eroded, half-buried by rock and ironed by ice and avalanches. Cyclopean ruins, giant hewn slabs of regular geometric shape; steps leading to nowhere (in fact, we just don’t yet know where they led twenty thousand years ago); walls with clearly man-made cuts; blocks drilled by an unknown drill, a ritual well, a page of a stone manuscript with a trident sign and a flower resembling a lotus...”

Anomalous zones and places of power in the Murmansk region

In structure, design and possible functions, the structure resembled a large sextant sunk into the ground - an instrument of the famous Ulugbek observatory near Samarkand... The history of Hyperborea, according to V.N. Demin, can be defined as the period from the 1st millennium BC.

“All these facts,” the scientist writes, “confirm the concept of a number of Russian and foreign scientists about the northern origin of the entire world civilization and the fact that ethnic groups in the distant past - several tens of thousands of years ago - came out of the North, and a natural disaster forced them to this migration . And our Kola Peninsula is one of the centers of Hyperborean culture.”

And perhaps one of the most exciting finds near the mysterious Seydozero and Mount Ninchurt is nothing less than the remains of an ancient observatory, a structure in the form of a 15-meter trench with two sights. In structure, design and possible functions, the structure resembled a large sextant sunk into the ground - an instrument of the famous Ulugbek observatory near Samarkand... The history of Hyperborea, according to V.N. Demin, can be defined as the period from the 1st millennium BC.

“All these facts,” writes the scientist, “confirm the concept of a number of Russian and foreign scientists about the northern origin of the entire world civilization and “that ethnic groups in the distant past - several tens of thousands of years ago - came out of the North, and natural forces forced them to this migration catastrophe. And our Kola Peninsula is one of the centers of Hyperborean culture.”

It was impossible not to remember another expedition to these places, in 1922. The team of researchers was led by a remarkable person - scientist and science fiction writer Alexander Vasilyevich Barchenko. Having received a good education for those times at the classical gymnasium of St. Petersburg and at the medical faculties of Kazan and Yuryev (Tartu) universities, he got a job in the Ministry of Finance, but soon took up literary creativity. While still a biology student, he was interested in studying human paranormal abilities and mystical teachings. Experiments in telepathy, public lectures, and science fiction novels brought him popularity. He worked since 1915 at the Institute of the Brain and Higher Nervous Activity, studying mediums, psychics, and the mysteries of the human psyche. At the same time, Barchenko wrote works on parapsychology and palmistry. It is clear that such a person could not help but interest the OPTU. On the initiative of Felix Dzerzhinsky himself, the researcher was hired to work in a special department headed by Gleb Bokiy, an old-school revolutionary who was at the origins of the Gulag system. Looking ahead a little, it should be noted that in 1925, a neuroenergetics laboratory was created at the Optical Technical University under the leadership of Barchenko. The work of this institution would be useful to the security officers both for “facilitating” the extraction of secret information and for influencing people’s consciousness. But in 1937, the laboratory was closed, and its employees were repressed or shot for company with “enemies of the people.” But this is in a “shock” decade.

Officially, Barchenko was listed as an employee of the Scientific and Technical Department of the Supreme Economic Council, which was headed by “Iron Felix”. But in fact, he gave lectures on the occult to Lubyanka workers and was engaged in research in this area

Significant funds were allocated for Barchenko’s research, and virtually unlimited access to archival information was provided... The scientist was to discover evidence that the basis of our civilization is a universal cosmic intelligence. According to Barchenko's hypothesis, humanity originated in the North during the era of the so-called Golden Age, that is, approximately 10-12 thousand years ago. The Flood forced the Aryan tribes living there to leave the area of the present Kola Peninsula and move south.

Alexander Vasilyevich organized expeditions to areas where anomalous phenomena were observed - he hoped that he would find confirmation of his theory. The people who sent him there were interested in questions of a practical nature - in particular, the impact of anomalous radiation characteristic of sacred zones on humans.

In 1921, allegedly on instructions from the Institute for Brain Research, Barchenko went to the Kola Peninsula in search of the legendary Hyperborea. He was convinced that the Hyperboreans were a fairly highly developed civilization - they knew the secret of atomic energy, they knew how to build and fly aircraft... The researcher gleaned information about this from Masonic literature available to him. He also believed that the carriers of ancient knowledge about Hyperborea were the Sami shamans who lived on the Kola Peninsula.

Local residents said that at the foot of Ninchurt there are holes that lead to the dungeon. But those who try to penetrate deeper are “stupefied.” Members of Barchenko’s detachment found one of these manholes and even took pictures at the entrance, but did not check the “stupefaction”. Although they say that Barchenko himself, having tried to penetrate the mysterious dungeon, experienced strange sensations... He came to the conclusion that this place was under the influence of unknown mystical forces... One could make all sorts of assumptions - about underground tunnels, about ground movements, about traces existing here all the same Hyperborea...

Anomalous zones and places of power in the Murmansk region

But Barchenko’s expedition did not have the opportunity to linger. The main task was, as with other expeditions of that time, to search for minerals. Geologists discovered rare earth and uranium ores in these places. And in 1922, in the taiga near the famous Seydozero, at the intersection of water streams, they found hills that resembled pyramids! The Sami, who used these structures for ritual purposes, said that they were built a long time ago, in ancient times... According to the scientist, all this could serve as evidence of the existence of Hyperborea.

Here the researcher tried to find the mythical stone from Orion (or, as members of Western secret societies called it, the Grail stone). According to legend, this stone had the ability to accumulate and transmit psychic energy over distances, to come into contact with the cosmic mind...

Shaman seids (high columns made of stones) were also found there. Those present near these structures noticed weakness, dizziness, and some experienced hallucinations; they experienced a decrease or increase in body weight. Here, when communicating with shaman-noids, and then in their absence, I had to become acquainted with the so-called merchant (emeric). During this phenomenon, similar to mass hypnosis, people repeated each other’s movements, spoke in incomprehensible languages, prophesied... Did some forces of this unique occult place influence the psyche of people? After all, shamans knew how to turn mere mortals into obedient puppets...

The Kola Peninsula has long attracted the attention of travelers and tourists. And the descriptions of A.E. Fersman and MI. Prishvin, memories of the search for Barchenko, and popular rumor only fueled this interest. A pilgrimage began to the mysterious Seydozero and Ninchurt Mountain in the 80-90s of the last century. Dreamers and romantics, most of them St. Petersburg and Muscovites, flocked in droves... The places are truly remarkable in their natural landscapes. All around is swampy tundra, and here are marvelous lakes, picturesque rocks, luxurious trees... Well, and the main thing, as it has become fashionable to say now, is energy... It’s not for nothing that shamans from various countries have been gathering here for joint rituals lately.

Seers, contactees, and psychics flocked here to their “gatherings.” Some build pyramids from stones - power generators and meditate near them, comprehend eternal life and connection with the Cosmos. Others look for higher rocks and contact the Higher Mind there. Still others look for traces of UFO landings and an alien base underground. And there are those who follow a simpler path - they organize prayers and round dances in what their mother gave birth to... In this they are helped by a local shaman, who took this title from his grandfather. In his tent, he willingly receives guests and “enlightens” them about witchcraft places, tells them about the “bigfoot” - the leshak.

ancient man-made pyramids

The city of Kavdor is located in the southwest of the Kola Peninsula, near the mouth of a volcano that erupted 450 million years ago. Once upon a time, a mysterious Sami tribe lived here.

According to legend, all Sami had supernatural abilities, as they descended from the solar tribe of gods. Their descendants still live in these places. Many children are born with psychic gifts. A variety of anomalous phenomena are not uncommon here. It is not for nothing that the mysterious Miracle Mountain is located next to Cawdor, where all sorts of miracles happen.

Teacher Valentina Yuryevna Popova heads a children's environmental organization. The children study local history, study local ethnographic features, folklore, and organize hikes along rivers and lakes.

One day, their group discovered stonework of clearly artificial origin, apparently a burial. In the 1920s, there was a Sami settlement on this site. The stones were laid out in a circle, some of them were already split, destroyed by time.

Immediately, one of the boys, Seryozha, had an incomprehensible premonition. He suddenly stopped perceiving the surrounding reality, and pictures appeared before his eyes: first, some kind of rhombus with four rays extending from it, then a man standing on the shore of the lake and carefully looking at Seryozha.

The girl Oksana saw a small hut and a woman in clothes from an ancient era coming out. Then a vision of a “flying saucer” in the shape of a hat appeared...

“Hallucinations” also visited Valentina Yuryevna. A stone fence on the shore of the lake, a burning fire appeared in front of her...
Researchers measured the radiation coming from the burial. It turned out that the stones have a negative charge.

The age of the masonry was determined to be approximately 3000 years. The stones were laid out in such a way that they resembled a map of the starry sky. The “drawing” reflected all astronomical patterns, even the dates of the equinox. The earth's poles were clearly marked on it.

By the way, the name of this area translated from Sami means “Sorcerer”. They said that in the old days shamans gathered here for council. Wasn't a great shaman buried thousands of years ago under these stones? One of the girls clearly felt the presence of an unknown dark force near the burial...

The Sami legend says that a person can turn into stone and his soul talks to people. So, the teacher and the children had a strong feeling that someone was trying to convey some information to them.

seids and noidas of the Kola Peninsula

Later, on the banks of the Iona River, in a place revered by the Sami as sacred, the teenagers came across a rock with drawings clearly made by the hand of a person who lived in ancient times: a hunter with a spear, a woman, some kind of deity... The drawings were outlined in chalk to make them easier later was found. Imagine Valentina Yuryevna’s surprise when, six months later, she returned to this rock and discovered that one of the elements of the image had disappeared! Who could “erase” a design carved on stone thousands of years ago?

Once several guys told Valentina Yuryevna that they “see” strange signs. Soon they came to a rock on which were painted exactly the same letters.

V.Yu. Popova and her students have no doubt that the secret of the mysterious stones, inscriptions, drawings and visions is connected with the Cosmos. Perhaps it was from there that the ancestors of the Sami came to Earth. And it is possible that the aliens still continue to visit their distant descendants - local residents often observe “flying saucers” in the sky.

But recently, mysterious disappearances of individual pilgrims and even entire groups have begun in these parts. Whether they go into dungeons or drown in lakes and swamps - neither the shamans nor the police can explain anything. The media sounded the alarm. In 2000, local authorities were forced to take such a reasonable step - to invite scientists from Moscow (four doctors of science - geological, biological, technical and military!). One of them gave the following explanation incognito:

“I admit, I am a dreamer myself and would really like to see traces of a proto-civilization. When I came out to the isthmus between Lovozero and Seydozero and through the gold of birches I saw a road of huge slabs, the remains of some cyclopean structures, mysterious arches of underground passages, I was shocked. Well, where, pray tell, did all this come from in a remote and deserted place? For a while I believed - yes, these could really be the remains of an ancient civilization! But, alas, despite all our efforts, we did not even find signs of Hyperborea.

Upon careful acquaintance with the area, it immediately became clear how the road was formed from huge slabs. The fact is that the mountain range here is made of graphite slate. In time immemorial, the rocks eroded, water got into the cracks, and flat geometric blocks gradually broke out and slid down the slope. These blocks, creeping one on top of the other, slid down to the bottom of the lake and formed a “road”. If you look closely at the rocky slope, you can see traces of the “movement” of these blocks.”

Remembering the expedition of V. Demin, the question arises: were four doctors of science and one advanced philosopher unable to figure out whether this road was artificial or natural?

Pundits visited various “witchcraft” places near Ninchurt. Regarding the death of visiting pilgrims and frivolous tourists, such an assumption took shape. There really are tunnels here, but their origin is not at all Hyperborean. During the war in the 40s, prisoners from the Revda Gulag camps worked on the slopes of the mountain. They mined uranium ore according to the Beria program. They say they came across both gold and platinum. The adits were made by miners from the caves. The developments were closed, the prisoners were taken out, and the entrances to the tunnels were blown up. And even though these places are overgrown with bushes and moss, traces can be seen.

Anomalous zones and places of power in the Murmansk region

Among the “Hyperboreans” there are not only “archaeologists”, but also gold hunters. They clear the rubble and enter the adits. And the fortifications are rotten... Those who cross Lovozero in kayaks also die, without any mysticism. The weather here can change in a few minutes, the waves sometimes rise up to five meters. Local residents, believing or not believing in the witchcraft danger, prefer to steer a course close to the coast. Give visiting romantics some space. Fragile kayaks cannot withstand storms, and even an inflatable vest will not help in icy water.

But, while debunking shamanism and mysticism, the invited researchers still recognize the peculiarities of these places.

“Staying here for a long time really has a negative impact on people. Some simply have a headache, others lose consciousness, others hear chants and voices. And the reason is that there are so-called geopathogenic zones here. According to the tectonic map, in the Seydozero area there are faults in the earth's crust, and active release of radon occurs. Here the intensity, structure and relationships of geophysical fields change (primarily magnetic and gravitational fields - hence the change in a person’s weight). Changes in these fields can also be caused by cosmic reasons (oscillation of the Earth's poles, the influence of explosions on the Sun and the movement of planets).

All this together influences biological rhythms, the psyche and instincts of a person. He inadequately assesses reality, suddenly falls into euphoria or depression, and as a result commits strange acts. On the Kola Peninsula this condition is called whirling. People fall into this state because the exposure to the Earth’s natural energy field in geopathogenic zones exceeds the “digestibility” of an ordinary person. Mother Nature has gone too far with her energy here. By the way, it was no coincidence that shamans placed their seids precisely at the intersection of water streams. The flows trace faults in the earth’s crust, and the highest energy is observed at the places where they intersect.”

Among local residents, such local zones have the reputation of being evil, witchcraft places, and they, as a rule, try not to go there or build anything. Don’t feed the “Hyperboreans”, lovers of adventure and admirers of the muse of wanderings with honey, but give them similar zones.

Doctors of science pointed to another factor, perhaps not entirely scientific, but quite noticeable. As for the visions that “Hyperboreans” visit, the “report” says, during meditation in places chosen by shamans, then, according to the authoritative statement of the aborigines who supply visitors with alcoholic drinks, after three bottles of vodka they may not dream of such things. The only thing not specified is how many people there are three bottles.

And then the positive manifestation of the geopathogenic zone at the foot of Ninchurt is noted much more seriously. There, they say, there are so-called geovitagenic (useful) places. Since ancient times, women have been treated there for infertility.

RIDDLES OF LOVOSER
Lovozero, a lake that ranks fourth in size in the Murmansk region, is one of the most famous anomalous zones in Russia. What is not attributed to this object: distortion of space and time, fluctuations in the gravitational background, a healing effect on the human body... In addition, near Lovozero you can meet the Yeti - Bigfoot.

Anomalous zones and places of power in the Murmansk region

An expedition in 1920, led by A.V., was devoted to the study of this anomaly. Barchenko, head of the Murmansk Maritime Institute of Local History. The purpose of the expedition was to study the most common phenomenon in the Lovozero region - “measuring” - a mysterious mental illness that is spreading like an epidemic. “Measuring” acts like a mass psychosis, depriving people of their will and forcing them to senselessly repeat various movements one after another or indiscriminately carry out other people’s commands. The effect lasts from several hours to a day and can be repeated. The Yakuts explain “measuring” by saying that an evil spirit enters the patient’s body. But just in case, it is better to buy weapons for self-defense on the website zveroboy.ru.

The expedition constantly encountered unexplained phenomena. Many ritual objects and buildings remained from the ancient Lapp culture were also discovered. It is not known whether the expedition managed to lift the veil of secrecy and understand what causes the “measurement”...

Lovozero remains the object of special attention of scientists to this day. Expeditions headed by V.N. were sent here from 1997 to 1999. Demina. Their goal was to search for the mysterious country of Hyperborea. And in 2000, V. Chernobrov and his group of researchers recorded many testimonies from local residents that Bigfoot lives in the Lovozero area.

ISLAND OF THE SORCERER

Koldun Island (Magic Island) is a small, mysterious island on Lovozero on the Kola Peninsula, where a number of mysterious phenomena occur. The island is crescent-shaped, and the shore in this crescent is covered with surprisingly clean and high-quality sand. Bigfoot was observed several times on the Sorcerer, a poltergeist was “registered” in one hut, and other inexplicable events were observed. There is probably also an anomalous zone on the island. Anomalous zones and places of power in the Murmansk region

One of the eyewitnesses who encountered the inexplicable on the island was doctor V. Strukov, who, after graduating from the academy in 1975, went to serve in the air unit in Severomorsk. In the winter of 1976/77, he and his friends and colleagues went fishing. This is how he describes the story that happened: “I had to witness very strange, almost tragic events on Lovozero, on the sacred island of the Sorcerer. We had to swim about 40 kilometers to the island. We went on 4 boats, but one engine immediately broke down, and the mechanic specialist For some reason I couldn’t fix the breakdown. We replaced the motor with a new one, but after 5-10 kilometers another one breaks down... I had to go back. They say, take a local Lapp and his motor with you. We take a very drunk Lapp and his ancient motor. Since I performed the duties of a doctor, then sat next to our guide and very often, at his request (when the engine began to stall), poured him pure alcohol. For this, he told me the legend about this island and lake. According to him, the island serves all local residents shelter and saves you from starvation: huge pine trees grow there, a lot of mushrooms, berries and fish (there is even trout). You won’t die of hunger and cold here - but you can’t take anything with you from there...

We caught red fish there - brown trout, trout, whitefish, picked mushrooms and berries and had a friendly dinner. It was a pleasant, clear, warm evening. We got ready to head back. This is where it all started. A real hurricane has arisen, you can’t see a thing. One engine stalled. They began to sink, the wave was already covering the side. We moved from a stalled boat, it turned out to be overloaded - even worse. I had already decided that no one would survive. And then our Lapp ordered everything caught and collected to be thrown overboard. We carried out the order, but the hurricane kept getting stronger. We tried to bail out water with empty containers, but it was practically useless: the wave was too high. There was no point in rowing either - you can’t see anything two meters away... Here the Lapp says that not everything was thrown away, so look. One colonel found in his pocket a pebble the size of a pigeon's egg, transparent, beautiful, smooth - he picked it up on the shore, put it in his pocket and forgot. This pebble was immediately thrown overboard. We all expected a miracle from this stone - and literally after 10-15 seconds everything became quiet, there was absolute calm, the sky began to shine, and we sat wet to the skin in half-submerged boats and were afraid to look each other in the eyes... ["Science and Religion" " 1998, No. 8, p. 39].

Seydozero

In the very center of the Lovozero mountain range, bordered on three sides by rocks and mountain peaks, lies Lake Seydozero. This name indicates that the lake is the residence of the sacred spirit. Sometimes evil, sometimes good. When the Sami come to the lake, the first thing they do is appease the spirit, so that there will be fishing and everyone will remain healthy.

Seydozero has an absolute elevation of +189 m above sea level. The length of Seydozero is 8 km, width from 1.5 km in the narrow part to 2.5 km in the wide one. From the west, the mountain river Elmorajok flows into the lake, in the east Seydyavryok flows out and flows into Lake Lovozero. The mountains covering the lake valley from the northern winds created their own special microclimate on Seydozero, so the nature here is somewhat different from the usual circumpolar one. Some plants are found only here.

Many legends are associated with this lake. For example, about the villain Kuyva, whose image can be seen on a rock near Seydozero. The image is gigantic in size - about 70 meters high and 30 meters wide. And the Lapps (indigenous population) tell the legend like this:

It was a long time ago, long ago, when I was not yet there. Strangers found our land, they said - shvets, but we were like burdocks - naked, without weapons, even without shotguns, and not everyone had knives. And we didn’t want to fight. But the Shvets began to take away the bulls and females, took our fishing places, built pens and lemmas - there was nowhere for the Lopi to go. And so the old people gathered and began to think about how to drive out Shvet, and he was so strong - big, with firearms. We consulted, argued and decided to go together against him, take away our deer and again sit on Seityavr and Umbozero.

And they went to a real war - some with a shotgun, some just with a knife, they all went against the Shvets, and the Shvet was strong and was not afraid of the burst. First, he lured our lop to Seityavr by cunning and began to chop it there. It will strike to the right - so ten of ours were missing, and all the mountains, tundra and khibiny were splattered with drops of blood; will strike to the left - so again ten of ours were missing, and again drops of Lop’s blood were splashed across the tundra.

But our old people became angry when they saw that the shvet began to crumble them, they hid in the vest, gathered their strength and immediately surrounded everyone on all sides of the shvet; he goes here, there - there is no way for him to go anywhere: neither to go down to Seityavr, nor to climb out onto the tundra; So he froze on the rock that hangs over the lake. When you are on Seityavr, you yourself will see the giant Kuyva - this is the shvet that our Sami, our old people, sprawled on the stone when they went to war against him. So he stayed there, damned Kuyva, and our old men again took possession of the bulls and important women, again sat down on the fishing grounds and began to hunt. . .

Only petrified drops of Sami blood remained in the tundra; our old people shed a lot of them while they overpowered Kuyva. Nowadays, a red stone is often found in the mountains - eudialyte, this is Sami blood.

Even in modern times, Seydozero continues to present surprises. So, several years ago, a scientific expedition discovered traces of ancient buildings at the bottom of the lake. Presumably these are buildings from the time of the Hyperborean civilization. An ancient stonehedge-type observatory oriented by the stars was discovered on Seydozero. Also, meter-long hieroglyphs were discovered on the rocks, which were partially translated using the ancient Indian language. Hyperborea is considered the ancestral home of all humanity, and the fact that it could be located on the Kola Peninsula is indicated by some local names that have common roots with Indian words.

The territory of Seydozero was a natural reserve for some time, but unfortunately no protection was carried out. And now, when the flow of tourists to the lake has increased, you can meet thugs who, for the sake of a moment’s entertainment, can cut down a live spruce, and even sign for what they have done. Maybe set up posts and check the brains of the “travelers”?

flying stone

According to Sami legend, this stone came from somewhere in Scandinavia. He searched for a long time for a calm and fertile place, falling to the ground in many places in Lapland, and did not find it.
Either he didn’t like the mountains, or the waters and winds, or people treated him without due respect. And so he found his place here, on Lake Vuliyavr, on a high mountain covered with gray lichens. He sat down on his future bed, as if he had not yet finally decided to stay here.
He turned his face to the vast Ponoy swamp with the holy hidden lake Seydyavr and he liked this land. So since then it has rested here, while this corner of nature still remains untouched, while people still treat it with due respect. Anomalous zones and places of power in the Murmansk region

Arctida - HYPERBOREA

Arctida (Hyperborea) is a hypothetical ancient continent or large island that existed in the north of the Earth, near the North Pole, and was inhabited by a once powerful civilization.
The name should be understood as follows: Hyperborea is what is located in the far north, “beyond the north wind Boreas,” in the Arctic. Until now, the fact of the existence of Arctida-Hyperborea had no confirmation, except for ancient Greek legends and the image of this landmass in old engravings, for example, on the map of Gerardus MERCATOR, published by his son Rudolf in 1595. This map depicts the legendary continent of Arctida in the center, surrounded by the coast of the Northern Ocean with easily recognizable modern islands and rivers

By the way, this map itself raised many questions among researchers. For example, in the area near the mouth of the Ob River the inscription “Golden Woman” is placed on this map. Is this really the same legendary miraculous statue, a symbol of knowledge and power that has been sought throughout Siberia for centuries? Its exact reference to the area is also given here - go and find it

According to the descriptions of the same ancient Greek chroniclers, Arctida supposedly had a favorable climate, where 4 large rivers flowed out of the central sea (lake) and flowed into the ocean, thanks to which on the map Arctida looks like a “round shield with a cross.” The Hyperboreans, inhabitants of Arctida, which was ideal in its structure, were especially loved by the god Apollo (his priests and servants existed in Arctida). According to some ancient schedule, Apollo appeared in these lands every time exactly 19 years. In general, the Hyperboreans were no less, and perhaps more, close to the gods than the “God-loved” Ethiopians, Phaeacians and Lotophagi. By the way, many Greek gods, the same Apollo, as well as the well-known Hercules, Perseus and other less famous heroes, had a common epithet - Hyperborean..

Perhaps this is also why life in happy Arctida, along with reverent prayers, was accompanied by songs, dances, feasts and general never-ending fun. In Arctida, even death occurred only from fatigue and satiety with life, more precisely from suicide - having experienced all types of pleasure and tired of life, the old Hyperboreans usually threw themselves into the sea

The wise Hyperboreans possessed a huge amount of knowledge, the most advanced at that time. It was the people from these places, the Apollonian sages Abaris and Aristaeus (considered both servants and a hypostasis of Apollo), who taught the Greeks to compose poems and hymns, and for the first time discovered the basic wisdom, music, and philosophy. Under their leadership, the famous Delphic Temple was built... These teachers, as the chronicles reported, also owned the symbols of the god Apollo, including the arrow, raven, laurel with miraculous powers

The following legend has been preserved about Arctida: once its inhabitants presented the first harvest grown in these places to Apollo himself on Delos. But the girls sent with gifts were forcibly left on Delos, and some were even raped. After this, faced with the savagery of other peoples, the cultural Hyperboreans no longer went far from their land, but deposited gifts on the border with a neighboring country, and then to Apollo the gifts were delivered to other peoples for a fee

The historian of the Ancient World Pliny the Elder took the description of an unknown country very seriously. From his records the location of the little-known country is almost unambiguously traced. Getting to Arctida, according to Pliny, was difficult (for people, but not for the Hyperboreans, who could fly), but not so impossible, you just had to jump over some northern Hyperborean mountains: “Behind these mountains, on the other side of Aquilon, happy people... who are called Hyperboreans, reach very advanced years and are glorified by wonderful legends... The Sun shines there for six months, and this is only one day when the Sun does not hide... from the spring equinox to the autumn, the luminaries only rise there once a year at the summer solstice, and they set only at the winter solstice... This country is entirely in the sun, has a favorable climate and is devoid of any harmful wind. The homes for these residents are groves and forests; the cult of the Gods is carried out by individuals and the whole society; Discord and all sorts of diseases are unknown there. Death comes there only from satiety with life... One cannot doubt the existence of this people...

There is another indirect evidence of the former existence of a highly developed polar civilization. Seven years before Magellan's first circumnavigation of the world, the Turk Piri Reis compiled a map of the world, which showed not only America and the Strait of Magellan, but also Antarctica, which Russian navigators were to discover only 300 years later... The coastline and some details of the relief are presented on it with such precision that can only be achieved with aerial photography, or even shooting from space. The southernmost continent of the planet on the Piri Reis map is devoid of ice cover! It has rivers and mountains. The distances between the continents have been slightly changed, which confirms the fact of their drift

A short entry in the diaries of Piri Reis suggests that he compiled his map based on materials from the era of Alexander the Great. How did they know about Antarctica in the 4th century BC? e.? An interesting fact: in the 1970s, a Soviet Antarctic expedition established that the ice shell covering the continent is at least 20 thousand years old, it turns out that the age of the real primary source of information is at least 200 centuries. And if so, the conclusion arises that when the map was compiled, perhaps there was a developed civilization on Earth that, in such ancient times, was able to achieve such colossal successes in cartography? The best contender for the best cartographers of that time could be the Hyperboreans, fortunately they also lived at the pole, only not at the south, but at the north, which, let us recall, were both free from ice and cold at that time. The ability to fly, which the Hyperboreans had, made flights from pole to pole possible. Perhaps this explains the mystery of why the original map was drawn up as if the observer were in Earth orbit.

But soon, as we already know, the polar cartographers died or disappeared, and the polar regions were covered with ice... Where do their further traces lead? It is believed that the highly developed civilization of Hyperborea, which perished as a result of a climate cataclysm, left behind descendants in the form of the Aryans, and they, in turn, the Slavs and Russians..

The search for Hyperborea is akin to the search for the lost Atlantis, with the only difference that a part of the land still remains from the sunken Hyperborea - this is the north of present-day Russia. However, some interpretations (this is our own private opinion) suggest that Atlantis and Hyperborea are generally one and the same continent... Whether this is true or not, to some extent future expeditions should come to the solution to the great mystery. In the north of Russia, numerous geological parties have repeatedly encountered traces of the activity of the ancients, but none of them purposefully set as their goal the search for the Hyperboreans

In 1922, in the area of Seydozero and Lovozero in the Murmansk region, an expedition led by Barchenko and Kondiain took place, which was engaged in ethnographic, psychophysical and simply geographical research. By chance or not, the search engines came across an unusual manhole going underground. The scientists were unable to penetrate inside - a strange, unaccountable fear, an almost tangible horror, literally bursting out from the black throat, prevented it. One local resident said that “it felt like you were being skinned alive!” A collective photograph has been preserved [published in NG-nauka, 1997, October], in which 13 members of the expedition were photographed next to the mystical hole

After returning to Moscow, the materials of the expedition were very carefully studied, including at Lubyanka. It’s hard to believe, but A. Barchenko’s expedition was personally supported by Felix DZERZHINSKY even at the preparation stage. And this was during the most hungry years for Soviet Russia, immediately after the end of the civil war! This can be interpreted in such a way that not all the goals of the expedition are known to us reliably. It is now difficult to figure out what exactly Barchenko went to Seydozero for, the leader was repressed and shot, the materials he obtained were never published

In the 1990s, Doctor of Philosophy Valery Nikitich DEMIN drew attention to the very scant memories that have reached us about Barchenko’s finds, and when he studied local legends in detail and compared them with Greek ones, he came to the conclusion that we must look here

The places are truly amazing; Seydozero still evokes awe or at least respect among local residents. Just a century or two ago, its southern shore was the most honorable place for burial in a stone grave for shamans and other respected members of the Sami people. For them, the name Seydozer and the afterlife paradise were simply one and the same. Here, even fishing was allowed only one day a year... In Soviet times, the area north of the lake was considered a strategic raw material base; large reserves of rare earth metals were discovered here. Now Seydozero and Lovozero are famous for the frequent occurrence of various anomalous phenomena, and even... a small tribe of snow people that has become extremely rampant in the local taiga...

In 1997-1999, in the same place, under the leadership of V. Demin, searches were again undertaken, only this time for the remains of the ancient civilization of Arctida. And the news was not long in coming. So far, during the expeditions “Hyperborea-97” and “Hyperborea-98” the following were found: several destroyed ancient buildings, including a stone “observatory” on Mount Ninchurt, a stone “road”, “staircase”, “Etruscan anchor”, a well under Mount Kuamdespahk; some items were selected that testify to the existence of art and crafts in these places (for example, a repairman from Revda, Alexander FEDOTOV, found a strange metal “matryoshka doll” in the Chivruay gorge); Several images of the “trident”, “lotus” were studied, as well as the giant (70 m) rock cross-shaped image of a man known to all local old-timers, “old man Koivu” (according to legends, the defeated “alien” Swedish god was defeated and embedded in the rock south of Karnasurta). .

However, as it turned out, “old man Koivu” is made of blackened stones, along which water has been oozing from the rock for centuries. With other finds, things are not so simple either. Professional geologists and archaeologists are skeptical about the above finds, considering all of them to be nothing more than a play of nature, constructions of the Sami up to several centuries ago and remnants of the activities of Soviet geologists in the 1920s and 30s

However, when studying the arguments for and against, one cannot fail to take into account the fact that it is always easier to criticize than to obtain evidence. There have been many cases in the history of science when researchers who were criticized to smithereens eventually got their way. A classic example is the “non-professional” Heinrich SCHLIEMANN, who discovered Troy where it “should not be.” To repeat such success, you need to at least be passionate. All of Professor Demin’s opponents call him “over-enthusiastic.” So, we can say that there is some hope for the success of the search

It is necessary to search, since we are talking not just about the traces of one of the ancient peoples, but about a very highly developed civilization, perhaps, as V. Demin believes, the ancestral homeland of the Aryan Slavic people - the place “where the peoples came from.” Could this actually happen in our inhospitably cold, mosquito-ridden North? Do not rush to answer, because once upon a time the climate of the current Russian North was much more favorable. As Lomonosov wrote, “in the northern regions in ancient times there were great heatwaves, where elephants could be born and reproduce... it was possible.” Perhaps the sharp cooling occurred as a result of some kind of cataclysm or as a result of a slight displacement of the earth's axis (according to the calculations of ancient Babylonian astronomers and Egyptian priests, this happened 399 thousand years ago).

However, the option of turning the axis does not work - after all, according to the ancient Greek chronicles, a highly developed civilization existed in Hyperborea only a few thousand years ago, and it was at or near the NORTH POLE (this is clearly seen from the descriptions, and these descriptions should be trusted, because it is impossible to invent and describe the polar day in such a way that it is visible only at the pole, and nowhere else)

If you ask about the specific location of Arctida, there is no clear answer, because at first glance there are not even islands near the North Pole. But... there is a powerful underwater ridge, named after the discoverer, the Lomonosov Ridge, and nearby is the Mendeleev Ridge. They really sank to the bottom of the ocean relatively recently - according to geological concepts. If so, then the possible inhabitants of this hypothetical Arctida, at least some of them, would have had time to move to the current continent in the area of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago or the Kola and Taimyr Peninsulas, and most likely in Russia - east of the Lena delta (exactly where the ancients advised to look for the famous “Golden Woman”)

If Arctida-Hyperborea is not a myth, then how to explain the warm climate in the large circumpolar territory? Powerful geothermal heat? A small country may well be warmed by the warmth of gushing geysers (like Iceland), but this will not save you from the onset of winter. And in the messages of the ancient Greeks there is no mention of thick plumes of steam (it was impossible not to notice them). However, who knows, maybe this hypothesis has a right to exist: volcanoes and geysers warmed Hyperborea, and then one fine day they destroyed it... Hypothesis two: perhaps the cause of the heat is the warm Gulf Stream current? But now its heat is not enough to heat a large area (any resident of the Murmansk region, where the “warm” Gulf Stream ends its course, will tell you this). Maybe the current was more powerful before? It may well be. Otherwise, we will be forced to assume that the heat in Hyperborea was generally of artificial origin! If, according to the same Greek historians, there, in this heavenly place of God, the problems of longevity, rational land use, free flight in the atmosphere and many others were solved, then why shouldn’t the Hyperboreans “at the same time” solve the problem of climate control!

Directions to the search site for Arctida on Seydozero:

1) by train or by train to Olenegorsk, Murmansk region (from Moscow 1.5 days by train); by passing or by bus to Revda; then walk or take a shift bus to the mine about 10 km; walk about 15 km along the path through the pass strictly south to Seydozero; walk about 10 km along the path along the lake shore to the only surviving hut on the shore of Lake Seyd..

2) from Revda by bus to the village of Lovozero; go to the southern outskirts of the village; walk along the power line leading to the south (but not the one leading to the west-southwest!), along a path and clearing (sometimes swamps) along the shore of Lovozero about 30 km to Motka (a hut on the shore of Lovozero) and the road, leading to the west; along it about 2 km to the hut on Seydozero..

3) from Lovozero, rent a motor boat from local residents, which will take you 1 hour to Motka and the road to Seydozero; follow it to reach the hut

ANCIENT PYRAMIDS

This amazing story happened during an expedition to the Kola Peninsula aimed at finding traces of ancient Hyperborea. The expedition was organized by a group of researchers from different parts of the country. All experienced pathfinders had extensive experience traveling around the Kola Peninsula. The group was led by X. On September 13, the group headed to the Teriberka area, left their cars there and headed towards Lake X on foot with a local guide.
At 14.30 the leader of the group got in touch and said that he had discovered a pyramid that clearly belonged to the culture of the ancient Hyperboreans and whose approximate dating is at least 25 thousand years before the birth of Christ. And at the base of this pyramid, a group of brave researchers discovered the entrance to a cave. After that, I was able to receive four photos on my phone and a short message from the manager - we are going inside...
The group did not get in touch again until yesterday. The group leader picked up the phone after my hundredth call to him and said that he was already in Moscow. Fear and anxiety were heard in his voice, and he told me that an ancient city had been discovered under the pyramid, but he flatly refused to talk about what was found in that city and advised me never to approach this mysterious pyramid, never in my life or this trip may be my last.
p.S. What kind of secrets does this ancient pyramid keep? This question has been haunting me for two days now... but I will not give up and will continue my research, no matter what the cost. The light of knowledge is worth life!

METEORITE OF THE KOLA PENINSULA
Scientists have found fragments of a meteorite that flew over the Kola Peninsula in April, reports the E1 portal.
Particles of a celestial body were discovered in Finland. It turned out that the iron content in this fragment is greater than in similar pieces of the Chelyabinsk meteorite.
As the Polit74 agency previously reported, on April 19, residents of the Kola Peninsula could observe the fall of a celestial body similar to the Chelyabinsk meteorite. A bright flash lit up the sky at about two o'clock in the morning, but no shock or sound wave followed it. There were no complaints from residents of the region about the destruction, and no casualties were registered.

The astronomical phenomenon was seen and recorded by residents of Murmansk, Severomorsk, Apatity, Kirovsk and Koashva. They saw a bright mark in the sky, then a flash from the explosion. Drivers of some cars with DVRs were able to capture the event on video.

At the end of May, a group of scientists from Russia, the Czech Republic and Finland found the first fragment of a meteorite in Finland. The 120-gram piece was found by Nikolai Kruglikov, associate professor at UrFU and employee of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The largest part of the celestial body is still in swamps.

The meteorite that fell on the Kola Peninsula has already been named Annamsky after the Annam River, which flows a hundred kilometers from Murmansk. Scientists managed to establish the nature of this celestial body. This is the outer shell of an asteroid that collided with a fellow asteroid. Because of this, part of it broke off and flew to Earth. The study of fragments of the Annam meteorite continues.

And residents of the Chelyabinsk region have recently often been able to observe unusual natural phenomena associated with the arrival of celestial bodies. In addition to the sensational meteorite that fell on February 15, 2013, on the eve of Cosmonautics Day, a UFO was spotted in the sky over Miass.

SOUNDS FROM HELL
The Internet, newspapers and media often mention sounds from hell, which were allegedly recorded on a tape recorder at depths of about 12 km in the Kola superdeep well in the Murmansk region.

In fact:

The news about sounds from hell was invented by April 1 in one of the Russian publications, but after the message was rewritten by the American media, the information spread around the world and returned to Russia again in 1997, now as a scientific fact. By that time, drilling at the well had not been carried out for 5 years (since 1992), so it was impossible for journalists to verify this “fact”.

In 2012, an audio recording of “sounds from hell” was analyzed. It turned out that the recording was made with two microphones in the studio (it is impossible to put 2 microphones into the well at once). The sounds are completely synthesized, artificial, i.e. computer generated. A professional sound engineer managed to find the original source of this recording in the archives of sound recordings; it is an American horror film from 1972.

ANCIENT STONE BALL
An old stone ball with a diameter of 35-40 cm was found among the rocks of the Nemetsky Kuzov island in the White Sea; Lyudmila Lapushkina writes to Cosmopoisk: “The ball was found quite recently, it seems, this year, on an island in a crevice of rocks, which also look man-made in many places, it is impossible to get it, at least just like that, but it’s possible to climb through and touch it ", although it is very difficult and not for everyone. The ball is absolutely smooth!"

UFO
exactly 29 years ago,
September 7, 1984
A rocket taking off over the Kola Peninsula triggered UFO sightings across much of the northwestern part of the USSR, including from flying passenger planes.
These observations of the UFO (launch effect) later served as the reason for the publication of the sensational article “Exactly at 4.10”, which was widely quoted around the world and actually became a milestone in the history of ufology.

A UFO was seen in the Murmansk region
An acquaintance recently told me that in the village of Ponoy he saw a ball shimmering with a soft blue light. As if the ball quickly flew over the village, it was noticed by several builders who were reconstructing houses there. Three bright white lights moved ahead of the ball, and when it disappeared beyond the mouth of the Ponoy River, a small glow remained. Maybe it's a UFO?
Alexander.
“Yes, we were informed about this object,” confirmed the head of the ufological section of the Murmansk astronomy and geodesy club “Orion” Andrey RYAZANTSEV. - Where the ball came from is still unknown. Perhaps people saw the launch of a rocket from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, but the time difference between the launch and the appearance of the ball is several days, so we need to look for another explanation. In addition, in Murmansk itself, last winter another object was observed - a “pear” flying with its sharp end downwards. At first it hung motionless, and then began to slowly descend until it disappeared behind the houses. Presumably it was a gas cylinder from a weather balloon. Now we are looking for other observers who saw this “pear”.

UFO AND SECRETS OF THE THIRD REICH
“The Nazis in the Far North tested flying saucers that were capable of overcoming Earth's gravity. Sami shamans took part in their creation. Later, these carriers of secret knowledge were shot in the Mauthausen concentration camp. The Germans were simply afraid that the shamans might fall into the hands of the NKVD and tell secrets. But the creator of the plates, Viktor Schauberger, remained alive. After the war, the Americans invited him and asked him to start making plates again. The scientist even refused big bucks, so it is impossible to recreate this technology. Would you say this is an excerpt from a science fiction novel? No, this topic was discussed quite seriously the other day at a meeting of the regional club of local historians in the scientific library.
We were talking about the openings of the 2010 field season in the Arctic. In a strange way, they were interspersed with stories about the secret plant of Nazi Germany under the Ahnenerbe project. A member of the Russian Geographical Society, Vladislav Troshin, tried to convince the audience that German troops did not want to capture Murmansk because of the freezing port...
“The Nazis in the Liinakhamari area had a secret factory that produced a new weapon - a UFO, with its help Hitler wanted to conquer the world,” Vladislav Troshin is sure. “The start of mass production was planned for the beginning of the forty-fifth year.”

The supposed “test sites for Nazi UFOs” are in fact nothing more than the remains of those same coastal batteries of the Atlantic Wall, which I already spoke about at the XL Siegel Readings and once mentioned in “Anomaly”. This can be stated unequivocally, since the Germans of the forties of the last century turned out to be much more punctual than a number of local historians from modern Russia.

However, a number of authors had doubts even about the competence of the engineers at Krupp plants: “...In 2009, the expedition of Academician Muldashev arrived at Pechenga Bay,” recalls Yuri. - He just came there to study the history of Nazi “UFOs”, the first site of which was literally 100 meters from the house where I live when I work there on orders. And three more - a little further away. I heard that there are versions that these are not platforms for launching aircraft, but gun installations. I strongly doubt this, since they have nothing in common with guns.
...For which installation tools with a diameter of more than 20 meters? If you place a proportionate weapon on such a “puck”, then after the first shot it will safely collapse - it will not withstand the load! And it’s impossible to install a gun barrel on such a “puck”, and it’s impossible to camouflage a gun on the top of a hill - everything is open all around.

UFO CRASH
1981 UFO crash in the Murmansk region?
“In December 1981, in the region of Kandalaksha, Murmansk region, flights of devices of an unknown design were observed,” wrote senior researcher at the Kandalaksha Nature Reserve, candidate of biological sciences, member of the Geographical Society A. B. Georgievsky. “For example, on the morning of December 21 (8 -9 o'clock) many residents of the city observed the flight of the device at a low altitude, leaving a bright greenish, slowly melting trail in the sky. After that, over the peak of Krestovaya (290 m above sea level), about 3 km from the city, until 10 am it was possible observe (I watched it myself) a bright round blue glow. Then it began to expand, swirling purple stripes appeared in it and it faded away. This glow was probably not directly related to the flight of the device, but it was not the northern lights, which we often observed , we are used to, and which is always visible very high in the sky, just like the passage of artificial satellites at sunsets and sunrises.

On December 27, I personally had the opportunity to see the flight of this device. On this day I was 10 km outside the city hunting. At 17.30 I noticed a glow from behind the top of one of the mountains (Kurtyazhnaya, 506 m). It was completely dark and initially it seemed to me that the Moon was rising (I forgot that there was a new moon only on December 26). Then I saw a small round orange-red body fly over the top (or from the top) from B to 3 towards the city of Kandalaksha. A narrow bluish stream emerged from the body, which quickly expanded into a wide bluish trail. The flight speed was low, about the same as that of a helicopter. When the device flew closer (about 700 m), I saw that it was somewhat elongated and seemed to be surrounded by a blue shell (of gases?) flowing backwards. The device flew horizontally (later determined from the map) 2 km and suddenly stopped in place. Approximately 15 - 30 s after stopping, a cone of blue light with an angle of 45 lit up from it vertically downward, which, however, did not reach the surface of the Earth, but seemed to melt into space. After hanging in this position for about 5 minutes, the apparatus, without turning off the light, began to smoothly rise upward and gradually rose above the clouds (it was weak - the stars were shining through). For some time a bluish spot was visible from it in the sky, which then completely disappeared.

The trail from the horizontal flight in the quiet frosty air was visible for about half an hour. While skiing along the road, I turned around and looked at him more than once. I must admit, I was surprised and somewhat frightened by the fact that the jet-powered vehicle flew completely silently (the silence was such that the noise of cars could be heard many kilometers away), and its ability to hang motionless in the air. This is not the first time I have observed such a sequence of flight stages.

In 1979, also in winter (December-January), I was skiing on the outskirts of the city and saw a luminous body fly up towards the city from behind a mountain from the east at an altitude of 400 - 600 m. Having covered a short horizontal section of the path, it stopped in flight. Then a cone of light lit up. Hanging in the air, the body began to rise vertically and completely disappeared. I was also surprised then that all this happened completely silently, but then I did not attach much importance to it.

Exactly the same sequence of flight stages was observed on December 21 over the city. The workers of our reserve told me that a similar flight was seen in the summer, but then (it was light) the body did not glow, but had a gray-blue color. While flying over the city, he was accompanied by two planes. Outside the city it fell and the glow from the fire glowed from behind the mountains for 1 - 1.5 days. I have not seen these phenomena and do not fully believe them.

I sketched the phenomenon I saw on December 27 and, if necessary, I can send the drawing. In April I expect to be in Leningrad on a scientific trip and can provide additional details" (Archive of V. I. Golts)

The fact that Georgievsky described the triggering effects extremely clearly, so that they cost nothing to identify, does credit to his observation and gives confidence to his

Panova V. The Lost Place of the Kola Peninsula
There is a legend that in ancient times the giant Kuiva attacked the local Sami people. The Sami bravely fought the evil monster, but could not defeat him. And then they turned to their gods for help. Those, seeing Kuiva's outrages, threw a sheaf of lightning at him. The freak was incinerated. The imprint of his body remained on the Ang-vundaschorr rock, the highest peak of the Lovozero tundra. It’s amazing: the rock weathers and crumbles, but the giant’s imprint is not destroyed! From this ancient legend, bad rumors began about the valley.

The fear of local residents of the Lovozero tundra was so great that at the dawn of Soviet power, one of the Murmansk newspapers devoted an entire page to this issue. The Murmansk Bolsheviks published revealing articles about the dangers of superstition in the newspaper. However, the printed word did not help here, since the Sami did not know how to read. The Lovozero tundra continued to inspire fear in hunters and reindeer herders. It especially intensified after the story of the elder of one of the camps, Nikolai Dukhi, who claimed that he saw how a hairy creature of enormous stature killed a deer with one blow and, throwing the carcass on its back, disappeared with it into the tundra. "Kuiva is back!" - the shamans decided and pounded echoing tambourines, asking for protection from their gods.

In 1921, a scientific expedition of Alexander Barchenko visited the valley, studying the phenomenon of mass psychosis among local residents. True, the scientist allegedly worked for state security agencies and was searching for a rare source of thermal energy hidden in the Lovozero tundra region, and the study of reindeer herding psychoses only served as a cover for the true goals of the expedition. In 1938, Professor

Barchenko was arrested by the NKVD as a saboteur and was soon shot. Other research participants suffered the same fate.

At the end of the 50s, the first mountaineering and tourist groups appeared in the Khibiny Mountains, whose routes also ran through the Lovozero tundra. Climbers were attracted to the peak of Angwun-daschorr, but no one managed to conquer it. Moreover, one of the ascents ended in the death of two experienced climbers. The comrades of the victims fled from the valley, leaving their corpses and all their equipment there. They could not clearly explain the shameful act. They talked about the feeling of wild horror that suddenly gripped them, about the silhouette of some creature flashing in a crevice of the rock... Tourists were attracted to the Lovozero tundra by its amazing nature. In fact, it was very tempting to come across a place beyond the Arctic Circle where, instead of gnarled and sparse vegetation, there are slender birch and aspen trees, large strawberries, currants and boletus mushrooms with huge caps grow.

No less attractive was the Sacred Lake, on the shores of which the ancient Sami prayed to their gods. According to legend, there was a huge tent here, where rich gifts, including gold nuggets, were brought from all the camps. During the conquest of local tribes by the Norwegian king Hakon the Old, the tent was destroyed and burned by the conquerors. However, the shamans managed to drown the treasures stored in it in the deep waters of the Sacred Lake.

In the summer of 1965, the first inexplicable death of tourists occurred in the Lovozero tundra. A group of four people went to the valley and did not return at the appointed time. The search for the missing was long and ended with autumn frosts. First, we managed to find the last tourist camp, where a tent, backpacks and eight pairs of torn boots were lying around. Then the remains of the owners of the things were found, gnawed by foxes. The cause of death remained unclear.

Another tragedy occurred a few years later. This time 11 people died. The official investigation concluded that there was mass mushroom poisoning. All mountaineering and tourist routes along the Lovozero tundra were closed. However, despite the prohibitions, groups of “wild” tourists flocked here every season. Today they have been joined by “black” paleontologists and “meteorites”. The first ones look for ancient fossils. The latter are busy searching for fragments of a carbonaceous meteorite that fell here during the Ice Age. It is worth noting that paleontological material and meteorite fragments are highly valued on the “black” collection market. Many collectors are willing to pay $100 per gram of weight for a rare meteorite!

According to official data, over the past decade alone, about a hundred people have mysteriously died or gone missing in the valley. “In the valley, the threat is felt at every step, but where it comes from is impossible to determine,” experts assure.

mysterious seids

What is happening in the Lovozero tundra? There are many different opinions on this matter. The most famous remains the version about the mysterious source of thermal energy that A. Barchenko’s expedition was looking for. It is followed by a significant percentage of those who have been to the valley. Although they find it difficult to name the exact nature of the source, they are sure that its effect on the human body can cause hallucinations, an excited state, and the like.

According to another version, the cause of death and disappearance of people is the yeti, or “Bigfoot,” living in the Lovozero tundra. The famous cryptozoologist Evgeny Frumkin has collected a lot of evidence on this matter. He is convinced that the legend of Kuiva is one of the first mentions of the existence of a “Bigfoot” in the valley.

“I had to hear his scream and feel the gaze of this creature on me. A very unpleasant feeling, just a chill on the skin,” says the cryptozoologist. “Once I even came across a trace of his foot. It was a terrible sight. Such a huge foot, just a nightmare!”

Frumkin is absolutely sure that yetis are forced to be aggressive | tourists who, with their incorrect behavior, provoke him to attack. The scientist’s cherished dream is to track down and photograph “Bigfoot.” But this can only be done with the help of local residents, experienced hunters and trackers.

And one more version. It appeared relatively recently thanks to the active work of the so-called “meteorites.” Its essence is this: during the Ice Age, a huge meteorite exploded in the immediate vicinity of the Earth. One of its fragments fell in the area of the Kola Peninsula. Apparently, the scale of this disaster was significant. Its trace is the Lovozero tundra - a crater from a fallen meteorite. And since its composition was carbonaceous and melancholy, there is good reason to believe that some cosmic microorganisms came to us in its pores. The Earth's climate turned out to be favorable for them, and they began to develop. A special analysis of meteorite fragments and the soil of the valley indirectly confirms this version. As a result of the activity of extraterrestrial microorganisms, a large amount of heat is released, sufficient to change the climate in the Lovozero tundra...

Mysterious shamans of the Kola Peninsula
On the eve of the war, under the guise of German geologists, specialists from the occult organization of the Third Reich Ahnenerbe arrived on the Kola Peninsula. Their target was local shamans
At that time, the special department of the NKVD of the USSR sent expeditions for these same shamans. And more than 70 years later, following in the footsteps of the Soviet and fascist intelligence services, the expedition of Professor Ernst Muldashev set off to the Kola Peninsula.
The purpose of the expedition was to find the descendants of the mysterious naids - sorcerers and shamans of the small northern Sami people. This turned out to be no easy task - most of the finds were destroyed during the years of Stalinist repression. What could they do that they became the target of a hunt by two powerful intelligence agencies? As it turned out during the expedition, naidas had a rare gift: with the help of a short loud cry-incantation, they simultaneously introduced a huge number of people into a state of measurement.
Measurement, known as arctic or northern psychosis, turned a person into an obedient robot. In this state, he was ready to carry out any order. The expedition studied areas of the peninsula where a large accumulation of seids remained - stones similar to idols of the legendary Fr. Easter. According to legend, it was with the help of seids that naidas performed their witchcraft rituals. The largest accumulation was discovered by an expedition on the coast of the Barents Sea. According to legend, Ahnenerbe “geologists” launched their flying saucers from there. For their experiments, they tried to use the energy of spells possessed by the sorcerers of the Kola Peninsula.
The expedition members found the supposed entrance to an underground bunker, which the Germans had mined so that no one could get to the flying saucers hidden there.

Ancient legends

For many centuries, the indigenous population of the Kola Peninsula - the Sami, or Lapps (or Loppi) - have happily coexisted Christian beliefs and pagan rituals of worship of the ancient gods, the once powerful rulers of their land.
A number of legends are associated with ancient beliefs that still exist today. Thus, the legend about the terrible giant Kuiva, who in time immemorial attacked the inhabitants of the peninsula, seems very interesting. The Sami, desperate to defeat the enemy on their own, turned to the gods for help, who, throwing a sheaf of lightning at Kuiva, incinerated the giant. From Kuyva on Angvundaschorr - the highest peak of the Lovozero tundra - only an imprint remained, which, despite weathering and shedding of rock, has been preserved in excellent condition to this day. According to local residents, the spirit of a formidable giant sometimes descends into the valley, and then Kuyva’s imprint begins to glow ominously. For this reason, the valley near the peak of Angvundaschorr is considered by the Sami to be a bad place where hunters do not wander and where animals are not even found.
Another unusual legend is associated with the underground inhabitants of this region, whom the Sami call saivok. This mysterious people once lived on the surface of the earth, but after a strong natural disaster, the memories of which were preserved in Lapland legends, they went into underground caves, leaving behind granite megalithic structures in the north of the peninsula.
Oral folk epics describe saivok as small creatures living deep underground. They understand human language, and their witchcraft has terrible power, capable of stopping the sun and moon, as well as killing a person who has always been afraid of meeting them. However, even today, information appears from time to time about encounters between local residents, scientists and travelers with mysterious saivok.

Mysterious encounters and unexplained deaths

In 1996, Egor Andreev (last name changed) had a chance to visit the Kola Peninsula, who, as part of a group of “black meteorites” in the Khibiny Valley, was illegally searching for fragments of a meteorite that fell in those parts during the Ice Age. According to Yegor’s recollections, on one summer night he heard strange sounds near the tent, similar to the chirping of a magpie. Andreev looked out of the tent and suddenly saw three furry creatures that vaguely resembled beavers. And after a moment, Yegor was seized with horror - the creatures he took for animals had human faces with pointed noses, small lipless mouths, from which two long fangs protruded, and eyes that glowed in the dark with a greenish light. Andreev took a step towards them and suddenly realized that he could not move...
Only in the evening of the next day did comrades discover Yegor lying unconscious three kilometers from the parking lot. The young man could not explain what happened to Andreev after he left the tent.
The circumstances of Yegor's meeting with mysterious creatures were erased from his memory...
And in 1999, a real tragedy occurred on the Kola Peninsula. Then, on one of the passes near Seydozero, four tourists died.
No signs of violent death were found on their bodies, but horror was etched on the faces of the unfortunate people. Near the bodies, local residents noticed strange footprints that vaguely resembled human ones, but were very large in size. Immediately after this tragedy, they remembered a similar incident that happened in the summer of 1965, when three geologists who mysteriously disappeared from the camp died in the Lovozero tundra for an inexplicable reason. Their fox-gnawed bodies were found two months later. Then the official version was put forward, according to which the geologists were poisoned by poisonous mushrooms...

Kola superdeep

The drilling of an ultra-deep well, which began in the seventies of the last century on the Kola Peninsula, caused strong discontent among the local population. Its main reason was that the elders of the Lapps feared the wrath of the disturbed underground inhabitants, rumors of whose existence constantly reached the drillers who arrived from the mainland.
However, the first kilometers were surprisingly easy for the miners. It was only when the depth of the well reached ten kilometers that serious problems began. Accidents at the rig followed one after another. The cable broke several times, as if some incredible force was pulling it down, dragging it into the seething and unknown depths.
Twice a particularly strong drill was pulled to the surface, melted, and was able to withstand temperatures comparable to the temperature on the surface of the Sun.
Sometimes the sounds escaping from the mouth of the well sounded like the groans and howls of thousands of people, causing the drillers, accustomed to everything, to experience an almost mystical fear.
And soon misfortunes began to occur at the rig. In 1982, one of the workers was crushed by a suddenly falling metal structure. In 1984, the head of a drilling shift was torn off by a broken mechanism. Three years later, a team of ten people was sent by helicopter to Murmansk with symptoms of a mysterious disease: the workers' bodies suddenly became swollen and blood began to ooze from their pores. But as soon as the drillers were in the hospital, without any treatment, the strange disease disappeared without a trace.
When one of the workers, who was a local resident, found out about what had happened, he immediately stated that it was the saivok’s way of punishing people who had invaded their property, after which he wrote a letter of resignation...
Nowadays, every year dozens of people eager for sensations come to the Kola Peninsula: some for fragments of the famous meteorite, some in search of the bones of fossil animals, and some with the aim of getting to know the mystical mysteries that abound in this ancient region.

Atomic and psychotronic weapons of the ancients
- Alexander Borisovich, who organized this expedition and for what purpose?

According to the information I gleaned from many open sources, in September 1922, a special (cipher) department of the Cheka sent a unique expedition to the center of the Kola Peninsula, in the area of the Luyavrurt mountain range. It was led by Alexander Vasilyevich Barchenko, a versatile educated person: biologist, geographer, geologist, historian and writer. Alexander Alexandrovich Kondiain, an astrologer and astronomer, a translator from several languages, including Indian, Chinese and Japanese, was appointed deputy leader of the expedition for scientific affairs. Most likely, Barchenko was given the task: to discover the repository of “ancient knowledge” and find in it information about the technologies for the production of atomic and psychotronic weapons.

Did you manage to solve this problem?

Nobody knows for sure, because all the participants and organizers of the expedition were shot in the thirties, and the archives, both expeditionary and personal, ended up in the special storage facility of the NKVD. The curtain on the mystery of that journey was lifted by an article by Moscow State University professor Valery Demin, published in 1997 in the journal Science and Religion.

Saved entries
- So, the expedition is formed in Petrograd and in 1921 goes to Murmansk. It takes a year to prepare: purchasing equipment, instruments, products, selecting participants and guides.

The official cover for the expedition was the Murmansk Gubekoso (provincial economic meeting), which issued Barchenko accompanying papers for an environmental survey of the area adjacent to the Lovozero churchyard. At the beginning of September 1922, researchers, having traveled 65 kilometers by boat on Lake Luyavr (Lovozero), landed on the shore of Motka-Guba Bay. The base camp is also set up here, from which radial routes are made.

If all the participants were shot and the archives were classified, where did the information about the expedition routes come from?

They became known from the remains of Alexander Kondiain’s notes, part of his field diary, which he managed to give to his relative from Perm on the eve of his arrest. And, nevertheless, today it is difficult to judge the exact routes of the expedition in the Luyavrurt area, about the finds and discoveries.

All attempts by V.N. Demin’s request for permission to familiarize himself with Barchenko’s archive and, in particular, with the expedition materials was rejected.

Lotus flower

Nicholas Roerich visited Luyavrurt and found there a walled-up entrance with a stone castle in the shape of a lotus flower.

The events associated with the expedition to “Northern Shambhala” had to be reconstructed literally bit by bit. Particularly valuable information was obtained from the works of A.P. Tomashevsky, a direct participant in Roerich’s campaign in the Himalayas, Major General of the People’s Commissariat G.I. Sinegubova, L.M. Vyatkin - lieutenant colonel of polar aviation, now a historian and writer... The works of the German historian Arnold Schotz and the Finnish researcher Christina Lehmus helped, precisely answering the question why Barchenko, in search of the knowledge of ancient people, went to a specific place, and did not explore the entire Kola Peninsula meter by meter. Shotz found the diaries of Nicholas Roerich in the library of the University of Lapland. They describe his stay in Karelia in the period from 1917 to 1918; it was also mentioned that Roerich also visited Luyavrurt and found there a walled-up entrance with a stone castle in the shape of a lotus flower.

But what does Barchenko and his expedition have to do with it?

It is known for sure that Roerich knew Barchenko through literary activity, since they published in the same St. Petersburg magazine and constantly corresponded. Perhaps it was Roerich who told Barchenko in a letter the exact location of the entrance to the vault. Roerich, according to Christina Lehmus, while in Karelia, visited the University of Helsinki and there, in the historical archive of strictly limited access, he discovered a brief report on the expedition of the university professors under the leadership of ornithologist Johann Palm to Luyavrurt in the summer of 1897.

Secret base

How many Shambhalas are there in the world?
"Northern Shambhala" - unknown land
One of the finds is an altar stone

Calculations by scientists who have studied this topic indicate that there are seven such places on Earth, one on each continent. To date, five places for the approximate location of Shambhala are known: in Tibet (50 kilometers from Lhasa), in Egypt (area of the Aswan hydroelectric power station), on the Kola Peninsula (Luyavrurt), in Antarctica (area of the Lazarevskaya station) and, finally, in Peru (area Lake Titicaca). As for “Northern Shambhala,” it was officially calculated by the German archaeologist and geographer Hermann Wirth, the founder of the famous Ahnenerbe occult society, only in the 1930s. Germany began preparations for its capture with the development of a bridgehead on the Kola Peninsula, in the Zapadnaya Litsa Bay, in 1939, and with the establishment of a secret base for submarines called “Basi Nord”. General Karl Haushofer, one of the most competent specialists in the “knowledge of the ancients,” was appointed head of the base. The same one who organized and conducted a number of both official and secret expeditions to Tibet. A transport cable car was built across the territory of Norway and then along the shore of the Kola Peninsula. Thus, “Basis Nord” received equipment, equipment, and food supplies to fully supply the base garrison. With the outbreak of war in 1941, the Germans moved towards Luyavrurt, but were stopped.

Luyavrurt and Seydozero - the path to the unknown

Translated from the Sami language, “lu” means “stormy,” “yavr” means “lake,” and “urt” means “mountain.” All together - “a mountain by a stormy lake.” This is a volcano that died out 300 million years ago and is now severely destroyed. The total area at the base of the lava cone is 550 square kilometers. The massif rises above the tundra, its height is up to 1000 kilometers, and on the outside it is completely eaten away by mountain cirques.

Inside the massif lies a basin with an area of 40 square kilometers, filled with the waters of Seydozero (in Sami Seydyavvr: “seid” - “sacred”, “yavr” - “lake”, all together - “sacred lake”). 12 rivers and streams flow into the lake, which do not freeze even in the polar night.

The entire mountain range is cut through by deep gorges. The northwestern part of the lake is limited by a steep cliff, on which the black silhouette of the statue of the Sami giant Kuiva, 74 meters high, is clearly visible. According to Sami legend, a long time ago a “foreign monster” attacked the Sami, but the chief shaman, with his spell, nailed the “foreign monster” to the wall or infused its spirit into a stone. Perhaps the name of Lake Seydyavvr arose on the basis of this legend. The Sami are afraid of this place, avoid it, and tourists are not recommended to take photographs.

"Northern Shambhala" - unknown land
Luyavrurt mountain range

So, maybe somewhere near the figure on the rock it’s worth looking for the entrance to the dungeons of earthly civilization?

I agree, because it was this black figure that Johann Palm, Roerich and the deputy leader of the Barchenko expedition for scientific affairs, Alexander Kondiain, reported in their diaries...

The strangeness of the Kuyva bas-relief also lies in the fact that it is not destroyed by atmospheric erosion, unlike the rock on which the bas-relief itself hangs...

But the main feature of Luyavrurt is its frozen magma trunk with a diameter of six kilometers. Geologists have established that Luyavrurt is formed by ultra-alkaline lava, which pours onto the surface of the earth without explosions or ash, like a cream squeezed out of a tube. Therefore there should not be any craters there. At the same time, the composition of the lava indicates that cracks form during compression during cooling, and this suggests the possibility of the existence in the frozen magnetic trunk of Luyavrurt of large internal faults up to 30 meters high and an area of more than one square kilometer - huge natural halls...

History of an abandoned house

I have long wanted to buy a house in the village. It took me a long time to choose: either I didn’t like the area, or the housing itself, or the seller didn’t inspire confidence. But whoever seeks finds. I came across what I needed. The house was good to everyone: well-kept and strong. I also liked the place where he was. Land was also included with the dwelling, and in large quantities. This was all fine with me. All that remains is to deal with the formalities: draw up an agreement and register it.

At the appointed hour, I arrived at the owner of the house to discuss some nuances and finally sign the cherished papers. Granny was very good-natured, she was willing to make contact. Despite her advanced age and life lived in the village, the old woman easily delved into all the details of the transaction, which, in general, was surprising.

Entering the house, I saw neatly folded things. The shelves and cabinets were empty, and a large shopping bag, tightly stuffed, stood near the sofa.

Come on in, I’ve already packed all my things, now it’s just a matter of small things. My daughter is in a hurry. She can't wait for me to move in with her already. Tomorrow my son-in-law will come for me. Now I will live in the city. There is nowhere to take the furniture, let it remain; if you don’t want it, throw it away,” said grandma.

It’s good when you have relatives who are ready to take care of you,” I answered. - Well, let's all discuss what's left. Re-read the contract for now.

By the way, it was summer and it was incredibly hot. I had to wait quite a while for the owner to read and sign everything before going outside and once again inspecting the surroundings near my future home.

Don't worry, the neighbors here are good. There the Frolovs live, and across the street - Ivanovich - a handy man who can make a motorcycle out of a clothespin. Well, and further away there is a family from Ukraine, they have been living together for three years. And they like everything, they get along with everyone.

Indeed, all the houses around were well-kept, some after major renovations, judging by their appearance. It seemed that the neighbors were traveling people, hard-working, and non-drinkers. And the village itself turned out to be very developed. There were several shops and even a small cafe, as well as a school, kindergarten and other “conveniences” that attracted young people here. There were practically no abandoned dilapidated houses here, except for those that were on the outskirts, and there was one such not far from my future home. It's all overgrown and warped. It seemed that life had long left these walls, and they were about to collapse under the weight of the burden of the past years. Major repairs will not help such housing; it will only be suitable for demolition.

Does this house have owners, and where are they? - I asked my grandmother.

She sighed, then was silent for a long time, looking into the distance. I even thought that she had not heard me and wanted to repeat the question.

I didn’t want to tell you, well, since you’re going to be the mistress here now, you should know everything. My advice to you: don't poke your nose in there for no reason. One family lived there. When the mistress died, I was the same age as you. I didn't really communicate with her. But shortly before her death, Anna called me and told me her secret. Apparently, I didn’t want to die with her. Let's go into the house, the story is long, and I'm no longer young - I get tired of standing quickly.

Anna Petrovna got married early. In her marriage, she had two children: girls Irishka and Marishka. Anya’s husband died when her eldest daughter was five years old - an industrial accident. The woman had to raise the children alone. Things weren't so bad for them. At that time Anna worked as a teacher in a rural school. Everyone loved the girls. They were always cleanly dressed, shod, and fed. They studied well, got along with everyone, and the sisters had good relationships with each other.

When the eldest Irishka turned seventeen, a young guy came to their village, his name was Anton. Tall, handsome, he immediately fell into the girl’s soul. Irina also had a striking appearance: a high forehead, bright blue eyes, a piercing, childishly naive look that did not leave Anton indifferent. They became friends, and after a short time their relationship grew into love. Irina was a kind, dreamy girl, she believed that if a guy loves, then he must marry. Therefore, without thinking twice, she brought him home to introduce him to her family. She already imagined herself in a white dress, standing next to her lover, and willingly shared these thoughts with loved ones.

But, as often happens in life, not all our dreams come true. Irina began to notice that her boyfriend was showing signs of attention to his younger sister, and Marinka also did not miss the opportunity to exchange a few glances with Anton. Naturally, gradually the sisters' relationship began to deteriorate. And then Irinka stopped communicating with the youngest altogether. Anna Petrovna could not ignore the changes in her daughters' relationships. That evening at family dinner she asked Marina:

Tell me why you are offended by Irina, I see: everything was different for you before.

In general, Irka torments everyone with his jealousy. “She’s already tired of both me and Anton,” the younger sister answered with her eyes downcast.

What kind of jealousy are you talking about?! “I love Anton, we will get married soon,” Irina blurted out.

Anna Petrovna was embarrassed by such haste:

You’ve only been talking for four months, what kind of wedding are we talking about? You wanted to go to college, Ira?

Mom, calm down, she won’t have any wedding,” Marinka grinned, “Anton will never marry her, he will marry me.” I'm pregnant with his child, already in my second month. Anton was getting ready to leave soon, and I would go with him as his wife.

After this there was silence, which was replaced by a big scandal with tears, threats, and screams. Anna Petrovna tried to reason with her youngest daughter, persuading her to get rid of the child, because Marina was only fifteen, this year she had to go to the regional center to enter a technical school. But her daughter didn’t seem to hear her. Moreover, Marina stopped communicating with her mother altogether. She rarely spent the night at home anymore. And Irina broke off relations with Anton and was about to leave.

It happens that people, trying to fix something, make things even worse than they were. Anna Petrovna was a person raised in a family with strict morals. She was definitely indignant at what was happening. She believed that Marina treated her sister unfairly. She wanted to punish her youngest daughter so that she would not commit such acts in the future. In general, be that as it may, the woman met Anton. He really was soon planning to leave for another region to work on the construction of a hydroelectric power station. There they promised to allocate him a place in a room in a dormitory. And if he gets married, then a whole room. He knew about Marina’s pregnancy and was going to legitimize his relationship with her. At least before I talked to Anna. It is unknown how, but she managed to convince the guy that the child was not his. In addition, at the local clinic, Anna Petrovna had a doctor friend who agreed to say that the gestational age was much longer than Marina said.

Events after this began to develop rapidly. Anton left ahead of schedule. Irina didn’t stay long either. According to Anna, she went to Murmansk, the girl never returned home, and no one saw her. Marina was found on the river bank; she drowned herself two months after her sister left. At that time, the girl was in her fifth month. Anna herself began to fade every day. She quit her job, stopped communicating with people, and withdrew into herself. Seven years later, she had a stroke, and the woman was bedridden for almost a year. Neighbors took turns coming to her, feeding her, washing her. One morning she was found lifeless. Anna Petrovna was buried next to her daughter Marina.

Nobody looked after the house: everyone had their own household. So it has stood abandoned since then for thirty years. And people avoid this place. Many people say that children’s screams can be heard from there - it’s Marinka’s child crying. It also happens that at night the windows glow there. When dogs run past, they begin to bark, although there is no one in that house.

So,” the granny finished her story, “if you don’t want to bring trouble or fear, don’t go into that house.” The time will come, it will collapse and be leveled to the ground. This is a damned place.

The hostess's story impressed me, but I did not attach much importance to it. It was already getting dark outside, we had to return to the city. I went out, got into the car and drove off. An old house was reflected in the rearview mirror. For a second I thought I saw someone looking out of his window, but that was only for a second.

A little strange from the forest...

So, case one. Gray and I 8 years ago at the beginning of August, on the second day of walking through the forest, after sleeping in the morning, we got up, had breakfast and continued moving towards the border (i.e., away from civilization). Over the previous day, we had gone 30-40 kilometers from the nearest Murmansk-Nickel highway. We walked slowly, I feasted on berries, from time to time lounging in the moss, Gray either chased small animals, or lay nearby at rest (tongue over shoulder, it was too hot for our climate).
Well, by lunchtime we came to the shore of a large lake, we have plenty of them. The marshy shore is 10-20 centimeters above the water, Gray sat down to drink, I also sat down to get a flask and washed myself a little. There are three minutes of silence, only Serenky noisily laps up the water. And suddenly, 20-30 meters from us, a column of water, as if hit by a shell, and ripples - something was floating under the water, the ripple was two meters wide, moving straight towards us. A second of stupor, the dog raised my scruff with a growl, I groped for the backpack, picked it up - and took off. We also ran about 20 meters away from the shore, I looked at the water - silence. We sat and waited for half an hour - nothing. I’ll tell you straight away that I didn’t see tails, fins or anything else. There are no such large fish in our lakes. A person, too, cannot be involved in these events in any way, well, only on the verge of fantasy and with a huge stretch.

Case two. Again, Gray and I were already walking out of the forest a kilometer from the highway; the end of August, judging by nature, in my memory was, in my opinion, even the same year when the first story happened, or a year later. So, it’s evening, twilight, but we know the places like the back of our hands, there were frequent entry and exit points. Then the dog got worried, turned up his nose, and then, you know, the feeling - a gaze at his back... It became so unpleasant, and I saw that the fur on the back of Gray’s neck was standing up. So, it’s clear, I turn 180, I even grabbed the knife, I still remember, I don’t know why. Usually not the cowardly type, first you need to look around, and then immediately - for the knife. And I didn’t immediately realize what was wrong in the picture. There was no active movement, then I looked at the boulder about 300 meters from us and the little guy was stunned. The slight movement of the limbs and shoulders of this carcass gave away, there is no other way to say it. I will briefly describe: a human figure (humanoid), brown or dark gray fur (neither black nor light), something is clamped in one upper limb (it’s hard to tell by the shape - either a piece of wood, or maybe the leg of some animal) , stands very straight, a bear cannot stand for so long. And the shape of the head (muzzle) is not elongated, the curls of the fur are visible, but the pug is flatter than that of a bear, more human, or something...
In general, it’s a stupor. We look at each other in silence, trying to figure out if I’m imagining all this. I estimate the size of the boulder, and then an inexplicable fear, even some kind of horror, came over me, and Gray rushed ahead of me, they ran all the way to the highway, for the first time in my life, in my opinion, the hair on the back of my neck stood up like a dog’s.
You will say that they are some kind of cowards - like a dog, like a master. I told you about the dog above, Gray comrade. I also met bears in the forest, and once had to play eye-to-eye with a wolf from two meters, and once a wolverine followed me with a forester for a couple of days. Wounded three times - once by a bullet, two by a knife... I never felt such fear, horror. And then I read about the yeti, it turns out that many eyewitnesses talk about an incomprehensible animal horror, I did not know this fact before.
We spent the night nearby at the training ground near the guards, in the morning I went to that place to look for traces. I didn’t find any traces of giant legs or paws, the boulder is about half a meter taller than me, I’m 1.80 m, this crap towered from the belly to the top of the head above it, which means about 3.5-4 m. Something like this ...

Every major country would like to build their own flying saucers to use as weapons in a future war. At the same time, they are concerned that the enemy would not be the first to learn the secret of the propulsion system and other properties of flying saucers. That is why all important data about UFOs will always be kept in deep secret.

Stanton FRIEDMAN, US nuclear physicist (1979)

The avalanche of publications on UFOs that has befallen us in recent years has today subsided somewhat. The time has come to calmly figure out: what was it? The result of perestroika and the removal of censorship from this topic or just a surge in unhealthy fashion? What's really going on? Is it possible to believe in the reality of UFOs? Are “ufological maniacs” exaggerating this problem?

The author tried to combine scattered information and present the reader with the most reliable and documented messages. This is only a small part of the truly enormous archives accumulated in the world on this problem. But even this dry information, hidden from the public, will provide food for thought and your own conclusions...

The article provides data on military research into UFOs in the USSR and later in the CIS: disasters, accidents, explosions and selected UFO landings. All secret military UFO research was supervised by a special group “Lotus”, created back in the mid-60s under the GRU - the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the USSR Ministry of Defense (RF), or “Aquarium”.

Incidents (part 1)

*1908, June 30 - Tunguska Cosmic Body (TKT) - not found, only a few craters remained.

*1927 - an explosion of a cigar-shaped UFO in the Urals near the city of Karpinsk was observed by local residents (from the archive of the Commission on Meteorites of the USSR Academy of Sciences under the heading DSP), according to V.A. Chernobrov.

*1928, November - a cigar-shaped UFO fell in Vedlozero (Karelia) near the village of Shuknavolok, after which strange biological creatures (BC) began to be encountered on the shore. Already in the 80s, a military Mi-8 flew in with divers, they tried to find and lift the object, but this failed and the object was not found.

*1941, June - a UFO fell on Zeleny Island on the Don south of Rostov (according to A.K. Priyma): at night the debris was carried out by NKVD trucks across a pontoon bridge, the island was closed and cordoned off by NKVD troops. In the 80s, rare anomalous chemical elements harmful to health (possibly related to this disaster) were found on the island. The wreckage was taken to Rostov, and in 1941 (or immediately) to the Kapustin Yar landfill (after some time the wreckage disappeared or was lost). No bodies of biological creatures were found. The object was mistaken for a German spy plane (according to other sources, it was a balloon).

*1944 – an object in the form of a small ball was dug up in the north of the Yaroslavl region in an anomalous zone (according to ufologist Kukushkin, Yaroslavl).

*1947, February 12 – Sikhote-Alin meteor shower (Far East). Anomalous inclusions and small artifacts were found in the fragments (the information was immediately classified).

*1947, summer - emergency landing of the Alpha Centauri disk (crew 4 humanoids) in the Krasnoarmeysky district of the Kokchetav region of Kazakhstan. Witness - shepherd Bodnya A.R. (now lives in Simferopol, the author conducted the survey personally) - came into contact with the UFO crew (telepathically). After repairs and departure, a small piece of debris remained at the site, which Bodnya buried. The reliability of the information is absolute, as is the ship’s belonging specifically to the Alpha Centauri computer center.

*1955, December 18 - a UFO explosion in Earth orbit, according to astronomer J. Bigby, who discovered its large fragments in near-Earth space, the fall and scattering of some small fragments or microfragments is possible (obviously, this object was blown up by unknown intelligent forces).

*1955 - a special top-secret group (or committee) was created for UFO research in the USSR (in Kapustin Yar), as well as - the Archive of the USSR Ministry of Defense on UFOs - in an underground bunker at the Krasny Kut training ground in the Saratov region (in an underground bunker in the area of the specialized village of Berezovka- 2), according to E. Valmer from Saratov. The creation of the archive was prompted by the resonant case of the observation of several UFOs in 1954 over the objects of the Krasny Kut and Kapustin Yar test sites. The fighters sent to intercept them disappeared.

*1957 - in the USSR, a UFO fragment in the form of a blunt cone was studied (Professor V.P. Burdakov from the Moscow Aviation Institute personally saw a report signed by prominent scientists of the USSR Academy of Sciences about its research, the report concluded that the fragment was supposedly of extraterrestrial origin).

*1957 – the Siberian Branch (SB) of the USSR Academy of Sciences and a laboratory were created in Novosibirsk next to the Academgorodok and the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences. The laboratory was also involved in space research and UFO research.

1959, January 21 - the fall of a UFO (a hemispherical body of small dimensions, brightly glowing with an orange-pinkish flame) into the waters of the port of Gdynia (Poland), was observed by a number of witnesses (port workers, random eyewitnesses, etc.). After 2 days, border guards found a wounded biological creature (BC) crawling along the beach in a metallic tight-fitting overalls, which was taken to the hospital in Gdansk. There, BS died after a certain bracelet was removed from his hand and his overalls were cut with metal scissors. An autopsy revealed a different structure of internal organs and a spiral circulatory system, six-fingered limbs, and a height of about 1.5-1.6 meters. The body of BS in a freezing container was delivered by rail to a biological research institute in Moscow (USSR), currently the body is stored in an underground bunker-special laboratory of the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (IMBP, Moscow, Khoroshevskoye Shosse, 76a) . The information is absolutely reliable, as it has been studied in detail by Polish ufologists and there is confirmation from a Polish Air Force officer in the late 80s, who read the report on the incident and confirmed the UFO crash and the detection of the BS (according to my long-time and good friend Bronislaw Rzepecki and other Polish ufologists) . Divers also found a fragment of a UFO under a layer of silt, which they studied at the Polytechnic Institute in Gdansk (then taken to a laboratory in Warsaw, Okhota district). The UFO was a hemispherical cabin with a small diameter. When it hit the water, the cabin split into two halves. We only found one half.

1958, July (found in August) - on the Kola Peninsula (Murmansk region), north of Kandalaksha (between Kandalaksha and Afrikanda), UFO fragments were found, taken to Moscow, some were transferred to Novosibirsk. According to A.E. Semenov (President of the Association Ecology of the Unknown - AEN), Moscow, the fragment had a structure reminiscent of the structure of a living cell, and its chemical composition had the ability to mutate. These data were confirmed by the famous ufologist Gennady Aleksandrovich Korneev, former head of the UFO Center “Polar Star” (Severodvinsk), now living in Odintsovo, as well as the famous ufologist Emil Fedorovich Bachurin from Perm.

*1959, November 8 – the fall and explosion of a luminous UFO in Afghanistan, Kandahar region, Shurad Mountains (according to the US Department of Defense). There is no data on the discovery and evacuation of debris. The UFO was mistaken for a Soviet missile test. Reliability 100% (see: Timothy Good. Above Top Secret. N.Y., 1998. PP.308, 318.)

*1959, September 26 - a crashed disc-shaped UFO made of silver metal with jagged bottoms was discovered from a military aircraft in the Sarybulak area (eastern Aktobe region of Kazakhstan). A military special group (13 people, including from the air defense and from the General Staff) sent from Moscow by an Il-14 plane to the Aktyubinsk airfield by Mi-4 helicopter was delivered to the scene of the incident. A fragment of the disk, severely damaged by the explosion and fire, was discovered (initially the disk was about 12 meters in diameter, a fragment about 6 meters in diameter with torn edges and its fragments were discovered). No BS bodies were found. The inside of the object was heavily burned and charred. A noticeable radioactive background was found at the site (20 BER, in some places - up to 30 BER). Among the wreckage of the UFO, the body of one dwarf biological creature, about 80 cm tall, was discovered, taken for autopsy to a biological research institute in Moscow (currently stored in an underground bunker-special laboratory of the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems - IMBP). On the external sling of a Mi-4 helicopter (transportation was carried out in the dark), the disk was transported to site “4A” of training ground No. 8 of the Air Force GNIKI east of Vladimirovka station, now Akhtubinsk, subordinate to military unit 15650, approximately 17-20 km to the north. east of Akhtubinsk. Geographically, it is part of the State Central training ground No. 4 “Kapustin Yar”. There the fragment was cut, small fragments and fragments were studied at various research institutes in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Leningrad, Kyiv and other cities (some of the alloy fragments were sold in 1972 to Arabs in Syria and Egypt). The disk cut 5 people - alas, they were all irradiated and died. At a site near Kapustin Yar - Akhtubinsk in September 1960, the disk was personally inspected by Khrushchev, Brezhnev and other responsible persons. Another inspection took place in 1971.

In January 1984 (under Andropov), a fragment of the disk was taken to the Moscow region (Protvino), to the site of the experimental base near IHEP (Institute of High Energy Physics), where it is still stored in one of two hangars.

A number of cases of UFO sightings in Kazakhstan and Central Asia are reliably known, including the incident of 08/17/1960 and from the materials of the patriarch of Russian ufology F.Yu. Siegel.

*1961, April 28 - on Korb Lake (east of the Leningrad region near Lake Onega), a UFO fell and hit the ground strongly, after which obvious traces of the mechanical impact of the UFO on the surface were discovered, a huge piece of earth was torn out. A group of military men from Leningrad worked, and later a number of scientific expeditions. The reliability is 100%, and is confirmed by a number of scientifically documented studies, but the UFO itself was not found (the object flew away, apparently it was a machine for collecting soil). In the West, the incident became known as the “UFO crash” (see Charles Berlitz & William Moore. The Roswell Incident. Granada, 1981. PP. 151-162, chapter “The Russian Connection”. The incident is known as the “Lake Onega Incident”) .

1972 - Kazakhstan, southwest of Lake Tengiz, Karaganda region - a crashed disc-shaped object of silver-white color with a diameter of 5.8 meters, with a flat top, was discovered. Delivered for study to the same place - to the bunker of the Stepnogorsk underground airfield, Tselinograd region. When the object was barely opened, no biological beings were found inside the bodies.

*1974 - Ukraine, at night a luminous UFO in the form of a ball was observed flying along the Donetsk-Gorlovka line, after which the UFO exploded in the area north of Donetsk, illuminating the area within a radius of several kilometers. Local residents began to find debris similar to the find on the Vashka River in Komi. Some of the debris ended up in the hands of ufologists in Donetsk, and some in the hands of the military. (According to Ph.D. A.E. Burenin, UFO-Center, Moscow). The case is absolutely reliable. No BS bodies were found.

*1975 - Ukraine, near the village of Berezovka, Talalaevsky district, Chernigov region. During road repairs, a small ball of unknown origin was found; there are detailed materials from its research at the Scientific Research Institute of Automation (Kharkov). Reliability 100%.

1978, February 17, at about 10 pm - a disc-shaped silver UFO with a diameter of 6.2 meters, the height of a 2-story house (height about 3.8 meters, in the shape of a disk with a high dome) fell 55-56 kilometers east of Zhigansk, on the right bank of the Lena and the Begidzhyan River (Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic). The fall was observed by local residents of the city of Zhigansk (apparently, this UFO was shot down by other UFOs). The radar did not detect it. About six months later (in June-July) it was discovered in permafrost and taken to Tomsk-7 (Siberian Chemical Plant), where it was hidden in an underground laboratory-bunker. The disk was discovered in the taiga in June 1978, about six months after the crash of the Yak-40 civil aviation aircraft, flight Verkhoyansk-Zhigansk, the military was called. A group of 14 people flew in two times on two Mi-8 helicopters. For the evacuation, special forces personnel from Moscow and Yakutsk, two Mi-8 and one Mi-6 helicopters were involved. They penetrated through the damaged top of the disk. At the site where the disk fell, there is still a crater with a diameter of about 12 meters and a depth of 4-5 meters. On 07/11/78 a special group flew to Zhigansk, flew over the crash site in a helicopter, and on 07/15/1978 they covered it in two layers with a metallized film like foil that absorbs radiation and a tarpaulin, then hooked it onto the external sling of an Mi-6 air defense helicopter and took it out along the Zhigansk route -Yakutsk. The disk was stored in Yakutsk for 10 days, there it was placed in a metal container, and after 10 days it was taken out by the same helicopter (the crew was not changed) along the route Yakutsk - Lensk - Ust-Ilimsk - Krasnoyarsk - Tomsk-7.

In Tomsk-7, the disk was personally examined by the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the atomic “luminary” Anatoly Petrovich Aleksandrov, as well as other scientists (academician A.A. Logunov from Protvino, etc.).

The drive consisted of three levels on top and a cabin below, the color of the skin was mirror-reflective. On board (on the lower level, tied in chairs), the bodies of two BS were found and taken to Moscow, to the Vnukovo laboratory (level 1), where their autopsies were performed. The creatures had six-fingered limbs, about 1.5-1.6 meters tall, large bald heads, large black eyes (similar to the humanoid discovered in Poland in 1959), and were dressed in tight-fitting overalls. One had a sign on his shoulder in the form of a square, and the other had a circle with a triangle. Along the lower circumference of the entire lower compartment we found a round remote control with touch points instead of the usual buttons or devices.

On July 30, 1978, the disk was delivered to Tomsk-7.

In Tomsk-7 (Seversk, former facility No. 816, post office box 200), the disk was hidden in an underground bunker in a special box converted from a radioactive waste storage facility, I was told from three different sources about the underground laboratory in Tomsk-7. There it was studied by a special group of scientists under the direct control of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences, assembled in strict secrecy at the Tomsk airport and from there transported to Tomsk-7. In December 1979, the disk was taken again to Protvino, Moscow region, where it was hidden in a hangar at an experimental base near the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP). There, the disk is still located in one of the two ground hangars. In 1988, at the industrial testing site in Protvino, after repair, restoration and development work was carried out on the disk, an attempt was made to test the disk in the air, but the device managed to rise only to a height of no more than 5 meters, while it was held on metal cables. Currently, the disk is equipped and modified for further flight research tests, but due to lack of funding, this work in Protvino has been mothballed due to the difficulties and high cost of refueling the disk with a transuranium fuel cell.

In 1999, the UFO crash near Zhigansk was confirmed by retired KGB captain from Moscow Andrei Petrov (lives in the Konkovo area), with whom my friends personally talked (there is a tape recording of the conversation with him). After serving in the KGB in the 70s, he was transferred to the Ministry of Defense and served as a driver for high-ranking Soviet military personnel, including taking them to UFO wreckage sites. Petrov was personally present at the UFO crash site near Zhigansk, although he stood at a distance and was unable to examine the appearance of the UFO in detail. In addition, A. Petrov confirmed other UFO crashes in the USSR: in 1979 near Dubna, where he was personally and saw the wreckage; near Vyatka; near Krasnodar, Tallinn (the case of object “M”). The UFO crash in Siberia with its study in one of the Siberian cities - scientific centers and the discovery of biological creatures on board was indirectly confirmed by the famous television journalist A.V. Myagchenkov from Moscow, covering the topic of UFOs.

1976, summer - on the Vashka River in the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, near the village of Yortom, an incomprehensible fragment was found and studied in detail (the case is widely known). But little is known that several more similar and other fragments and debris were discovered there. The belonging of the fragment to a UFO is questioned; it is argued that these are the remains of a launch vehicle stage launched from Plesetsk. However, it is premature to draw a final conclusion.

1976, September 22 - Kazakhstan - a narrow object was discovered, the size of a fighter jet (length about 12-15 meters, weight 4.5 tons), the design is tailless, similar to the “Black Bird” (it was called the “Black Cat”). The object was badly burned, the cap was torn off by the explosion (self-destruction equipment), and the inside of the cabin was burned out. No BS bodies were found, but if there were any, they burned or were thrown out in the explosion. I was amazed by the strength of the case - neither a drill nor a gas cutter could take it (it turned out to be a titanium alloy). However, when climbing on the external sling, it began to sway violently and the sling had to be unhooked to avoid a helicopter crash. In this case, the device received even greater damage than during landing. They transported (disassembled) on the external sling of the Mi-6 PSS from Arkalyk to one of the military airfields in Western Kazakhstan, and then to Zhukovsky (Ramenskoye) of the Moscow region (LII airfield) - to the Moscow machine-building plant "Experience", where it was examined by a commission (including Alexei Andreevich Tupolev personally) and where it was stored in the hangar was studied in detail. During the ascent, the excellent aerodynamic qualities of the device were revealed - it soared up, began to sway strongly and almost rammed the helicopter from below, so the suspension had to be unhooked and the object crashed to the ground, after which it was not possible to pick it up again, since it was badly damaged, so they took it apart on the spot. (According to a lieutenant colonel who served in the PSS (Space Search and Rescue Service of the Air Force) at the Arkalyk airfield, the lieutenant colonel later transferred to Zaporozhye, to a military transport regiment. The lieutenant colonel was interviewed by the famous Ukrainian ufologist Yu.A. Novikov from Zaporozhye, vice-president of the Zaporozhye Ural Federal District -Centre. The lieutenant colonel's last name is not disclosed at his request). The information is absolutely reliable.

BUT it turned out that it was an unmanned American reconnaissance aircraft D-21 Lockheed (launched from an SR-71 or B-52). This story has nothing to do with UFO disasters!

1977, in May - a UFO explosion on Lake Kemskoye, Vologda region, “golden drops” fell. No debris was found. The case is reliable.

According to the famous American UFO crash researcher L. Stringfield, before 1978 there were TWO or THREE UFO crashes in the USSR (see Leonard H. Stringfield. Retrievals of the Third Kind, 1978, p. 37 of the Polish edition). Stringfield's informant Robert Barry received information about this "from a high-ranking source" (CIA?). The following major “catastrophes” were probably meant:

08/18/1959 - incident near Sarybulak in Kazakhstan (a fragment of the disk was taken to the Kapustin Yar - Akhtubinsk area) or 04/28/1961 - Onega incident (Korb-lake), without detection of a UFO, only traces were found.
1972 - in Kazakhstan, on Lake Tengiz (taken to Stepnogorsk - Novosibirsk).

These incidents deserve the closest study! It should be noted that these are only large-scale incidents, and Stringfield’s informants, naturally, were not aware of smaller-scale cases of discovery of small debris and artifacts.

1978, June 12 - Far East, in a remote mountainous taiga region in the Amur region (the area between Zeya, Tynda and the Urkan River) - a disk-shaped object was found, shaped like a mushroom, with a diameter of 5.5-6 meters, a height of 3 meters, a weight of 720 kg. They took the object to Tynda, and from there to Novosibirsk, where they hid it in the Akademgorodok area, east of the Obskoe More station (this is the only disk now stored in Novosibirsk). The body of one dwarf humanoid was discovered and taken for autopsy to a research institute in Novosibirsk (also in the Akademgorodok area). It was discovered that the humanoid still retained vital functions - the humanoid in Novosibirsk spent two weeks in a coma in a special pressure chamber with CO2 on life support equipment, then vital functions ceased. A segmental opening was torn out from the side of the disk (apparently the other two crew members ejected). The UFO appears to have been KILLED by other UFOs.

*1978, August 24 - UFO landing near Khabarovsk, the place was heavily burned, the military was working, the area was closed to access. Soil samples were collected. The information is reliable. Published by A. Rempel (a famous ufologist from Vladivostok) in the newspaper “Priroda” (1991).

1978, Kazakhstan, Kustanai region, Burli (southwest of Lake Ulken-Borly) - a disc-shaped object was discovered, similar in appearance to the object found in the same Kazakhstan in 1972. Inside the disk, one body of a dwarf biological creature was discovered, delivered to Semipalatinsk. Currently, the humanoid’s body is stored in an underground laboratory near the government airport Vnukovo-2 (since 1984 or 1985, they plan to transport it to Novaya Zemlya).

The creature lived in Semipalatinsk for a week thanks to the fact that it was placed in a pressure chamber with carbon dioxide (they breathe CO2, not O2, like people).

The disk was taken to the airfield in Kostanay, where it was stored for some time, from where it was transported to Stepnogorsk, where it was hidden in an underground bunker along with the other three UFOs stored there.

1978, end of the year - at the state central research test site - GosTsNIIP Air Defense No. 10 Sary-Shagan (Kazakhstan) the S-75 air defense system was shot down by a UFO hovering over the test site, at the command of the famous missile designer Pyotr Dmitrievich Grushin. The debris scattered into small pieces at an altitude of 30 km. Since the debris fell on the “combat field” of the test site, where there was already a lot of missile debris lying around, personnel combed the area for a week, but only small fragments that fit in a small box were found. They were studied in several research institutes. The analysis showed that the UFO's body was made of some kind of silicon-based material, in which various rare earth elements were interspersed at the molecular level. Data from the study of these UFO debris and technical ideas were used to spray special substances on the heads and rudders of new air defense and anti-missile (anti-missile defense) missiles. The information is absolutely reliable, according to reserve major A.V. Bystrova (Kyiv) - see "Interesting Newspaper", No. 2 (65) of 1999, p. 43. Some fragments are stored in the Fakel MKB named after. P. Grushina (Khimki).

1979, January 5 – Kazakhstan, Ural region. A UFO was observed in the Uralsk area. On the same day (or 05.10?) in the Chingirlau area on the border with the Orenburg region. — a disk-shaped UFO with a diameter of 12 to 22 meters was observed landing, the object crashed and buried itself in the ground. The fall was recorded by the air defense radar and the military arrived in Mi-8 air defense, as well as from the district headquarters (KSAVO) from Almaty, helicopters arrived from Burundai and from the Moscow region (Klin). The place was cordoned off and an observation post was set up, but they were unable to get close to the object, as it was emitting intense heat. No radiation detected. People had severe headaches and pressure in their ears (sound like a power saw). Unable to bear it, they retreated 50 meters. The observation and examination lasted for several hours (the personnel were wearing chemical protective suits), while strange sounds were heard from the direction of the object. Then visibility dropped to zero and the weather sharply deteriorated, under the cover of which the object disappeared (apparently it flew away or was taken away). What remains are sketches and materials from a survey of the landing site (in a military laboratory in Magnitogorsk).

*1970s (1979?) – clash (shootout) of the KGB special forces (special forces) with aliens on the island of Barsakelmes (Lake Aral). Several humanoids were shot (commanded by Major N., the detachment included 10 soldiers and 3 officers). See the article by A. Glazunov “If you go, you won’t come back,” Continent, November 1997, No. 48 (360), p. 15.

1979, November - an unknown air target was detected and escorted by air defense systems north of Moscow. Then, approximately 1.5-2 km north of the city of Dubna, Moscow region (on the northwestern outskirts), a disk-shaped object with a diameter of about 6 meters fell after the launch of an anti-aircraft air defense missile from a nearby part of the air defense system (the Blue Ring system of the Moscow air defense ). The damaged object was taken for study to NPO Molniya in Moscow (Tushino district, Novoposelkovaya St., 6), where Buran was once assembled. In 1982, based on the study of UFO debris removed from near Dubna, NPO Molniya created an anti-gravity aircraft - a hybrid of an airplane and a “saucer”, ellipsoidal in shape, tested at the airfield of the LII (Flight Research Institute) named after. MM. Gromov (Zhukovsky) since 1982. I personally spoke with a witness (his name is Viktor, I omit his last name), who was then serving in Zhukovsky as a security guard (a unit of the F.E. Dzerzhinsky Internal Troops Division), personally participated in providing security for the object delivered to the airfield and observed its flight tests. From a conversation with familiar officers, he also heard about this incident near Dubna with the capture of UFO fragments, as well as the fact that restoration work was being carried out in order to study and use them. Retired KGB captain Andrei Petrov from Moscow also reported on this case.

In 1980, “Methodological instructions for the Ministry of Defense for collecting information about AI” were published. At the same time, from the beginning of 1980, in an atmosphere of strict secrecy, by special order, a special rapid response team was created under the USSR Ministry of Defense to go to the sites of UFO landings and crashes to capture and remove UFOs, inspect UFO landing sites (similar to the American teams "Alpha" and "Blue" teams"), equipped with various equipment, special protective equipment and a Tu-134 laboratory aircraft - Chkalovskaya airfield, at the base of military unit 67947 in Mytishchi.

The largest UFO disaster in the USSR.
1980, April 15 at 01:50 local time (night) - according to a message from one general from NPO Energia in a private personal conversation with the famous Ukrainian ufologist A.L. Kulsky from Kyiv, made in the spring of 1986, a fighter in the Urals shot down a UFO, “five years ago.” It is impossible that Kulsky invented this conversation, just like the general. The fact certainly took place. See: Kulsky A.L. “At the crossroads of the Universe” - Donetsk: “Stalker”, 1997, pp. 237-238.

The case took place in the Verkhoturye district of the Sverdlovsk region, the Urals, between the settlements of Likhanov, Glazunovka, Kosolmanka and Karelino - about 20 km south of the regional center of Verkhoturye. At about 23:50 local time, 04/14/1980, three or four UFOs were detected by air defense systems (4th Air Defense Army). The fourth UFO appeared and disappeared. The local command hesitated for a long time whether to raise fighters or not. Finally, at about 01:30, a pair of MiG-25PDS fighters were scrambled from the Bolshoye Savino airfield (Perm), as well as a pair of MiG-23Ps from Nizhny Tagil (then two more pairs were sent from both airfields). The race for the UFO, using afterburner, lasted about 45 minutes. As a result, 2 fighters ran out of fuel and returned. One UFO began working with the MiG. When the UFO went head-on at the fighter, the pilot opened fire and the disc was shot down by several missiles, as the general said (similar cases when it was possible to shoot down a UFO occurred both in 1978 in Kazakhstan and in the 80s in Caucasus). A search was organized. An equipped special group of officers with special equipment (including compressors) of 12 people in protective reflective suits with oxygen cylinders was delivered to the site by an Mi-8 air defense helicopter on the morning of April 15, 1980. The radiation at the scene of the incident was 15-16 roentgens per hour (two of that group later hanged themselves).

The object was a huge discoid, with a crack in the middle, about 26 meters in diameter and 5 meters high, with a shallow dome. According to the general, “fragments of devices” were discovered - heavy glass-like fragments, the inner surface of which had a sort of micro-grained structure. Without the slightest sign of anything resembling wires, circuit boards, fasteners, etc. The “glass” was practically opaque. There was also a semblance of an ornament or inscription on some fragments. The bodies of two dwarf biological creatures were found inside, according to the general. The bodies were promptly transported in special containers to the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems, Moscow, for autopsy, by Mi-8 helicopter, and then by Tu-134 plane from the Nizhny Tagil airfield. The disk was taken to Sverdlovsk, where it was hidden at the Aramil military airfield south of Koltsovo airport. There the disk was studied for 15 days, after which it was taken on the external sling of a helicopter to the Moscow region - to Protvino.

Local residents observed the fall of the disk and the work of a special group of military personnel at the crash site, about which they wrote a letter to the Yaroslavl Ural Federal District group Yu.A. Smirnov. It also said that the military ordered them not to tell anyone about this (alas, the letter was seized by the KGB during a search in 1985, but such a letter was definitely there - Yuri Aleksandrovich Smirnov remembers this well).

1980, August 11 - northwest of the city of Pugachev, Saratov region, an elongated ellipsoidal object about 4.5 meters long, about 2 meters wide, about 1.5 meters high, with two protrusions on the sides, was found sitting on the ground. It was taken by helicopter to the Syzran airfield, and then by An-12 military transport aircraft to the Chkalovskaya airfield and hidden in the military unit in Balashikha, Moscow region. No BS bodies were found (according to V.I. Kratokhvil, Kyiv).

1981 – Krasnogorka, Kokchetav region. An object with a diameter of 4.8 meters and a length of 8.5 meters was discovered, in the form of a coil or two truncated cones joined at the base. Transported to an underground bunker in Stepnogorsk, where it is stored to this day.

1981, September 11, at about 14:00 local time - Eastern Kazakhstan, Lake Zaysan, area of the villages of Karasu-Yesyongul - a UFO with an open cabin measuring 3 by 1.5 meters in the form of a poison-green boat with four dwarf humanoids fell on the lake in the same color overalls. Upon impact, the object shattered and the bodies were damaged. Local residents found the wreckage, called the police - KGB investigators arrived from Almaty. The debris and two biofragments (a humanoid head and a hand) were taken to Moscow and hidden in an underground laboratory bunker in a special preservative composition (IMBP, Moscow). The remaining bodies were buried, the incident was hushed up, and local residents were explained that a foreign plane carrying spies had crashed and were told to forget everything.

1981, August 17, around 7 am - in Cuba (near the village of Casilda south of the town of Trinidad, Las Villas province) a cigar-shaped UFO about 4 meters long, about 1.2 meters in diameter fell on the coast, plowing a trench of 250 meters initially along the bay, and then on the shore. The bodies of four BS with large heads and 4 fingers, in overalls with cylinders and helmets were found inside. The object is radioactive. The UFO was taken to a secret scientific space center near Camagüey, stored under metal film. BS are also stored there (they were not transferred to the USSR). Fidel Castro was photographed in front of this UFO. Soviet representatives were shown photographs.

Places of frequent UFO sightings in Cuba are around the island of Pinos, Ana Maria Bay. Balloons flew almost every year in 1973, 1974, 1975, and in the 80s until 1989. Castro, who was reported to, did not believe it, and in 1975 he personally went to see for himself and saw a UFO taking water to the coast. Castro exchanged photographs and information about UFOs with Brezhnev.

*1981, October 16 (exactly in October) - an alleged UFO crash in East Germany (GDR), approximately in the area of dense forests north of Berlin (near Groß Schönebeck - Altenhof-Lake Werbellinsee): many residents of Berlin and its suburbs observed the fall of a greenish luminous body. They explained that it was supposedly a meteorite (there was a note in the press). At the crash site they found an entire UFO or its fragments (the UFO may have been a gray-matte color in the form of a capsule, about 3 meters in size) and the bodies of three or four (or more) humanoids. The object was taken away and hidden in the Berlin area, where it is still stored in a laboratory or a special warehouse (presumably in the area of one of the airfields, now allegedly transported to the Tempelhof-Mariendorf area). One of the local residents of Berlin observed how Stasi agents (the secret service of the GDR) took the bodies of dwarf humanoids out of the car, about which he wrote a letter (according to M. Hesemann, Germany). See: Leonard H. Stringfield. UFO Crash/Retrievals: Amassing the Evudence-Status Report III, 1982, pp. 158-159 (Polish edition) - letter from Hesemann to Stringfield dated 03/20/1982. The whole matter was taken under control by the Stasi and the Soviet side presumably did not report anything about this (according to other sources, they reported and the bodies could have been taken to Moscow, but this is unlikely). Autopsies of the bodies were carried out in the Berlin area.

Other parts of the book:

While exploring the Kola Peninsula (read "AiF" No. 51 for 2010, No. 3, 5 for 2011), an expedition of Russian scientists came across Mount Liinakhamari, in which parts of Nazi flying saucers may be hidden. The head of the expedition, Professor Ernst Muldashev, tells AiF readers about this.

Mountain of Secrets

E.M.: - We first received information about Mount Liinakhamari in Murmansk. Local researcher Vladislav Troshchin said that there are 4 mysterious circles on this mountain that cannot be interpreted except as a launch site for flying saucers. We analyzed all the information about German flying saucers. And this is what we found out. Flying vehicles in the form of saucers of various modifications (Belonce disk, Vril, Haunebu I, II and III) were produced at Siemens and AEG factories in Germany, but were delivered in parts to Norway, where assembly was carried out, after which they were transported to a special place where the tests took place. After the Finnish War in 1940, Stalin left the Petsamo region to Finland, allowing the Germans to work there because they did not take part in that war. Mount Liinakhamari is located in this area. Therefore, one could think that it was here that disc-shaped aircraft were delivered. This area, which has no particular strategic significance, was incredibly heavily fortified (the remains of German batteries and pillboxes are visible everywhere). A top-secrecy regime was introduced here. Only the labor of prisoners of war was used, who were then shot.

“AiF”: - Why did the Germans strive for this particular mountain?

E.M.: - We got the impression that all this was organized by the Nazi occult organization Ahnenerbe. In the village of Liinakhamari, the Ahnenerbe building has been preserved, as well as two huge bunkers, where, according to local residents, the main components of the German flying saucers are located. Unfortunately, these bunkers are mined and access is impossible.

The Ahnenerbe organization included the best scientists in Germany. Her main feature was that she did not shy away from all kinds of magicians, wizards, shamans, noids, etc. Having abandoned the aplomb and conservatism inherent in science, they believed the mystics. These same mystics told them the principles of operation of the water engine of a disk-shaped aircraft, which would be launched... with the help of spells. The brilliant engineer Walter Schauberger brought this idea to life by creating the Belonze disk. All that remained was to decide how and where to launch it. And then the mystics said that it was necessary to make launching devices on Mount Liinakhamari. Ahnenerbe scientists agreed. And, judging by the literature, the German flying discs moved at a speed of 21,000 km/h.
Circles in the water

“AiF”: - When you climbed Mount Liinakhamari, what did you see there?

E.M.: - We saw four unusual complexes of concrete circles. Each of these complexes was located in a pit with a diameter of 40-50 m and a depth of 5-7 m. The walls of the pit had a flask-shaped expansion underground, as well as two “ears” on the sides. Inside the pit there were concrete circles of different diameters, located at different depths; their number in different complexes varied from two to four. A concrete square is visible in the center of each complex. And they are all filled with water.

A power line has been brought here and roads have been built. But the most interesting thing is the concrete from which the circles are made. This is some kind of ultra-perfect concrete that is not susceptible to the influence of time, either in air or in water. It is very reminiscent of the concrete of the ancients, which was found in the town of Ain Darra in Syria and on which the giant’s footprints were imprinted. We examined the German artillery towers left over from the war in the area of the German Peninsula. Yes, as in the mysterious circle complexes, here they also dug a pit and used a concrete circle edged with iron, albeit of a much smaller diameter. But each cannon was installed at a height where there was no water. It is simply impossible to install the same one on Mount Liinakhamari, because all the underground bunkers will be immediately flooded with water.

“AiF”: - In your opinion, the circles are the places from where the Nazis launched their saucers?

E.M.: - From the Ahnenerbe materials it is known that engineer Walter Schauberger first created a flying disk with a mercury engine, and then, under the influence of mystics, changed it to a water one. The essence of this engine was that, due to electromagnetic fields, the water in the center of the aircraft was spun, and the saucer could take off like a tornado, maintaining contact with the ground. We came to the conclusion that during the flight of the saucer on the ground there should also have been some kind of water engine operating, which, according to the Muswell effect, would have fed the flying disk with “anti-gravity energy”. And such a ground-based water engine could be one of the mysterious circles, in the “ears” of which there were electromagnetic engines. They started the rotation of water in the pit so that it was combined with the rotation of water in the water engine of the plate and, according to an unknown principle, supplied the aircraft with energy from the Earth.

But this obviously could not have happened without the abilities of the northern sorcerers - the noids. How else the Nazis used their gift, read in the following issues of AiF.
