The Summer 1994 issue of Flying Saucer Review contains an article entitled
|
|
"Soviet UFO Secrets", by Bryan Gresh. The article also appeared in the MUFON
|
|
UFO Journal for October 1993.
|
|
|
|
Brian Gresh is stated as being the Senior Vice-President of Altamira
|
|
Communications Group and an associate of George Knapp, described as a
|
|
renowned UFO researcher. I am personally familiar with Knapp's work and as
|
|
far as I am aware he is highly regarded.
|
|
|
|
The article details information obtained by both men during a 10 day visit
|
|
to Russia in March 1993.
|
|
|
|
The entire article is too lengthy to reproduce, however, the following
|
|
extracts contain the main substance of the article:
|
|
|
|
[START]
|
|
|
|
The trip to Russia took seven months to set up and was arranged by our man in
|
|
Moscow, Nikolai Kapranov. Kapranov is a Russian physicist who served as
|
|
Security Advisor to the Soviet Parliament.
|
|
|
|
Our goal was to talk, face to face, with those who were in the know...
|
|
|
|
One of the bigger gems was Boris Sokolov, a retired Russian colonel from a
|
|
distinguished military family. Sokolov ran an unprecedented study, the likes
|
|
of which, he is undoubtedly correct in saying, will never be repeated. "For
|
|
10 years," Sokolov says, "the entire Soviet Union became one gigantic UFO
|
|
listening post." The year was 1980.
|
|
|
|
"We had 40 cases where our pilots encountered UFOs," said Sokolov.
|
|
"Initially, they were commanded to chase, then shoot, the UFO. But when our
|
|
pilots would engage, the UFO would speed up. The pilot would give chase,
|
|
lose control and crash." That happened three times. Twice, the pilots died.
|
|
"After that," Sokolov said, "the pilots received another order: When they
|
|
see a UFO they should change course - and get out."
|
|
|
|
With the exception of the original "engage" order, Sokolov says the Soviets
|
|
adapted a passive observation stance - if they saw a UFO, fine. The Soviet
|
|
attitude was unlike the Americans, Sokolov says, who had set up some 30
|
|
radar stations to track UFOs.
|
|
|
|
October 5, 1983 is a date Sokolov will long remember. He received an order
|
|
from his commander to leave immediately for an ICBM base in the Ukraine. The
|
|
reason for the urgency? A report from the base commander to the Chief of the
|
|
General Staff that the day before, from 4 until 8 that evening, a UFO had
|
|
been observed near the base. During that time, the lights had lit up on the
|
|
base control panel - the launch codes for the ICBMs had, mysteriously, been
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
"They received an order to prepare the launch of the ICBMs," said Sokolov.
|
|
"The chief of the General Staff wasted no time in sending in our UFO
|
|
experts."
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, no missiles were launched.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rimili Avramenko's world is somewhat unique. He is one of the chief
|
|
scientists working on Russia's version of SDI. Avramenko has been entrusted
|
|
with the highest possible clearances.
|
|
|
|
We began our interview of this highly-regarded scientist with what we
|
|
thought would be a good ice-breaker: is the UFO phenomenon for real? The
|
|
question was quickly brushed aside, in no uncertain terms.
|
|
|
|
"My colleagues and I don't even think that's a question!" he bellowed. "Of
|
|
course they are real!"
|
|
|
|
The exchange of information between aliens and humans, the scientist claims,
|
|
has led to the development of what he referred to as the "weapon of the
|
|
aliens," the plasma beam. The space age weaponry was incorporated into the
|
|
Soviet version of SDI. Dr. Avramenko also confirmed for us that the Russians
|
|
knew UFOs were from somewhere else as early as 1959. The Americans knew that
|
|
too, he said, because both sides had the same type of satellite defense
|
|
warning systems. Dr. Avramenko shared with us a couple of other startling
|
|
pronouncements: during the Vietnam War, he said, a massive UFO flew over
|
|
Hanoi. Although every major weapon in that city had its sights set on the
|
|
craft, it didn't budge. Dr. Avramenko also slipped up and told us the only
|
|
craft which can approach the speed of UFOs is the American "Aurora" which is
|
|
being flown in Nevada. When the look of amazement registered on our faces,
|
|
Avramenko quickly back-tracked and said his information was based solely on
|
|
articles in the popular press.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another of our meetings put us across the table from the Ministry of
|
|
Defense official who is in charge of the current study. By agreement, we are
|
|
not yet able to make his name public, but we can give the name of the study,
|
|
"Thread-3." One illuminating section of those papers contains details of UFO
|
|
sightings by Soviet cosmonauts. Unlike American astronauts' reluctance to
|
|
talk about the subject, Soviet references to UFOs were reported from the
|
|
very beginning, with Yuri Gagarin himself. In the documents, Gagarin is
|
|
quoted as saying UFOs are real, they fly at incredible speeds and that he
|
|
would tell more about what he had seen in orbit - provided he be given
|
|
permission to do so. The documents also provide information on American
|
|
space encounters, including several references to things seen on the Moon by
|
|
our astronauts, and how that information was removed from NASA's public
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What do the Russians know about the most celebrated of all UFO crashes, the
|
|
July, 1947 report of a crashed disc outside Roswell, New Mexico? Our next
|
|
interview made it seem apparent that, even in the 40s, the Russians weren't
|
|
buying the weather balloon explanation of Roswell being proffered to the
|
|
American people at the time by the US military. The interview was with
|
|
Valeriy Burdakov, a man who, to my knowledge, has never granted an interview
|
|
to a Western journalist. In the 1950s, Burdakov was a scientist at the
|
|
prestigious Moscow Aviation Institute, birthplace of the Soviet space
|
|
program. Burdakov's interest in UFOs led to lectures on the subject,
|
|
lectures which came to the attention of Sergei Korolyov, the dean of Soviet
|
|
rocketry and the founder of the Russian space program. But Korolyov did not
|
|
admonish the younger Burdakov; instead he confided in him.
|
|
|
|
As the now-60-something Burdakov relates, Joseph Stalin invited Korolyov to
|
|
a meeting in 1948. The dictator brought Korolyov to a room where, spread out
|
|
on a table, were piles of material and information collected during a top
|
|
secret study. Some of the information was gleaned from reports of Soviet
|
|
operatives in place in New Mexico at the time of the alleged crash. Stalin
|
|
was anxious to know, what did Korolyov make of this reported crash of a UFO
|
|
near Roswell?
|
|
|
|
"Korolyov told Stalin the phenomenon was real," said Burdakov. "He told him
|
|
the UFOs were not dangerous to our country, but they were not manufactured
|
|
in the United States, or any other country. Stalin thanked him and told him
|
|
his opinion was shared by a number of other specialists."
|
|
|
|
Burdakov says he has no doubts about the extent of the American government's
|
|
involvement in the UFO phenomenon. Several branches of the American
|
|
military, he says, are involved in active research and study. "We know that
|
|
the United States Air Force possesses plenty of material," says Burdakov.
|
|
"The U.S. Navy has a big amount of material as well. We know that special
|
|
orders have been given to keep all materials secret. When curious people ask
|
|
for the materials they are told they're not there, that they've been
|
|
destroyed."
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ron Varlamov of the Moscow Technology Institute believes evidence abounds.
|
|
We met with Dr. Varlamov at his small apartment outside Moscow for an in-
|
|
depth interview. Dr Varlamov has travelled to a number of reported UFO
|
|
landing sites in Russia, including 10 in the direct vicinity of Moscow, to
|
|
conduct a variety of tests on physical and chemical changes in the soil and
|
|
the environment. Among his voluminous findings; identical quartz timepieces,
|
|
one placed inside a landing site, the other just outside, record time at two
|
|
different speeds. The quartz timepiece inside the landing circle speeds up.
|
|
Dr Varlamov has also discovered that inside the reported landing site
|
|
circles the land is all but sterile, yielding just a few individual samples
|
|
of single-celled animals per cubic centimeter of soil. Just outside the
|
|
circles, tens of thousands of single cell animals flourish in every cubic
|
|
centimeter.
|
|
|
|
Amongst his other fascinating findings: evidence of what is knows as "angel
|
|
hair", a type of by-product of UFO exhaust. Varlamov has obtained a sample
|
|
to analyze the content. Dr. Varlamov also claims at least six attempts have
|
|
been made to make pre-arranged contact with alien intelligence. Some of
|
|
these contacts, he claims, were successful.
|
|
|
|
Varlamov's findings are supported by a government biologist and close
|
|
colleague. His name is Yuri Simakov.
|
|
|
|
Another of Dr Simakov's discoveries comes from two reported landing sites
|
|
in Siberia. Simakov found microscopic worms in the soil. Nothing too unusual
|
|
there, except these worms are particular to Mexico, and don't occur
|
|
naturally anywhere in the former Soviet Union.
|

|
|
|
|
There are obviously many fundamental repercussions arising from the content
|
|
of this article. If we take it at face value, then:
|
|
|
|
1. Both the former Soviet Union and the American governments (and presumably
|
|
others) have been aware of the existence of extra-terrestrial life for
|
|
many years and have orchestrated a cynical cover-up.
|
|
|
|
2. Contact has been established with extra-terrestrial life forms.
|
|
|
|
3. Advanced technology has been obtained from these life forms.
|
|
|
|
4. They have the ability to engage ICBM's and possibly other nuclear weapons
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
5. U.S. astronauts did encounter extra-terrestrial craft and there was a
|
|
significant sighting made on the moon, all of which have again been
|
|
cynically covered-up.
|
|
|
|
6. The U.S. Air Force and Navy do possess "material" from extra-terrestrial
|
|
craft.
|
|
|
|
7. Extra-terrestrial life forms have the ability to "distort" time, as we
|
|
know it.
