Opening Soviet X-Files
[page 393]
When we were in Moscow, [1997 material], UFOs were officially declared nonexistent, seesawing backward after releasing UFO material in government publications just a year before. Now that classified KGB UFO files are starting to go public, you can see why the Soviets wanted to keep the lid on. Journalist Michael Hesemann at a 1995 Washington DC conference, "When Cosmic Cultures Meet," released this tidbit from KGB files: "A UFO hovered for two hours over a Soviet nuclear weapons storage facility in 1989."
Former NATO intelligence officer, Sergeant Major Robert Dean, reported that the same year, a colossal one hundred yard wide UFO disc hovered for over an hour above the headquarters of the Soviet Air Defense Command. In April 1990, General Igor Maltsev, former chief of the general staff of the U.S.S.R.'s Air Defense Forces, acknowledged that on March 21, 1990, over one hundred military observations were reported to him - one a two hundred meter disc that carried out maneuvers. In a speech, he cited full details of UFOs chased by his pilots.
Eastern Europe, it turns out, was also awash in UFOs. In 1994, the Hungarian Minister of Defense, George Keleti, took an unprecedented step. Despite the risk to his career, he decided he must go public with some of the top secret Hungarian military UFO files. A former colonel in the Hungarian army, who'd sighted a UFO himself on a flight from Cuba to Moscow, he published the long suppressed, hard to believe details. Around the same time as Voronezh, UFOs swarmed over Hungary too, he said. Alien craft landed at military airfields, barracks, and academies all across the country. At one airfield, four foot tall aliens tried to climb into Hungarian MiGs. They repelled guards with light beams that made them sick. After a UFO landed behind a military barracks, soldiers saw "giant" aliens moving about. Machine gun fire rendered the aliens INVISIBLE. "Aliens are mapping our world!" Defense Minister Keleti proclaimed. "In the event of an invasion, we would not be able to defend ourselves," he admitted candidly. Even if he was Minister of Defense, Keleti's revelations were too much for most people. Ridicule, controversy, disbelief swirled in the press at home and abroad. On January 6, 1994, the Hungarian Air Force scrambled MiGs to track a UFO that soared across their borders directly from the war front in Bosnia.
Declassified Soviet documents seeped into the Russian press in the summer of 1993 with more revelations. The Ministry of Security of the Russian Federation, along with the CIA and other covert services, have enough evidence to conclude, they said, that there is a "detachment of observers" from other worlds travelling in near earth orbit. These reports state that "this ET reconnaissance mission has highly coordinated, large scale activities involved with studying and observing Earth."
Under Communism, UFOs were labelled "capitalist propaganda." Even Dr. Felix Ziegel's classic work had to circulate underground through "samizdat" and only a few of the fifty thousand documented sightings he logged ever surfaced. Today there's an All-Union UFO Center in Moscow that documents sightings, publishes books, and holds conferences. Recently [1997 material], Russia has considered the UFO situation urgent enough to mobilize some of its most renowned scholars to focus on UFO phenomena and related events, setting up the Ecology of the Unknown Association in Moscow, headed by famous academician Dr. Vlail Kaznacheyev.
Prominent UFO researchers - Russian Air Force colonel Marina Popovich, and oceanographer Dr. Vladimir Azhazha - have travelled the world revealing what's in some of the previously top-secret Soviet UFO files. Colonel Popovitch gave a dramatic press conference at the Russian Consulate in San Francisco in 1990 (a year before the U.S.S.R. collapsed). She showed photos of a mysterious object - pencil shaped and fifteen miles long - which was photographed under the Martian moonlet Phobos by the Soviet space probe Phobos-2. A second photo showed an elliptical "unidentified shadow" with the background of Mars under it. After transmitting the photos on March 25, 1989, the Russian spacecraft inexplicably malfunctioned and vanished. Her report was called "the first ever leaked account of an alien mothership in the solar system."
A record holding military jet pilot herself, Colonel Popovitch heard in close confidence about dozens of UFO encounters from her colleagues, ordered to scramble their MiGs and chase them. The strictest censorship prevailed, but Marina Popovitch had an inside edge. Numerous cosmonauts also had observed UFOs. The distinguished pioneer cosmonaut Pavel Popovitch, who headed a committee on UFOs, was her husband.
Besides interviewing top space officials and cosmonauts, Marina Popovich has Soviet Space Agency tapes of cosmonauts' conversations with ground control about UFOs. For instance, in June 1978, cosmonauts Vladimir Kovalyenko and Viktor Savinykh reported to ground control from the Salyut-6 space station that a UFO "shaped like dumbbells" flew past and then exploded. In August, cosmonauts Bykovsky and Jahn were visiting the space station when a similar craft appeared. They tried to photograph it. On October 2, 1990, two more cosmonauts spotted a UFO while flying over Greenland. The Mir space station too, has been under UFO observation. Soviet cosmodromes also attracted UFOs. They hovered over rockets and launch pads, causing considerable damage, according toi Dr. Azhazha.
With the fall of Communism, ufology has gone highly visible in the former Soviet bloc. Dozens of groups and thousands of researchers are bringing to light years of suppressed evidence. People are finally speaking out - like the workers at Bohunice atomic power plant in the Slovak Republic who logged over seventy UFO sightings and close encounters right at the plant. A key figure in the pursuit of Communist UFO activity has long been the legendary Hungarian-American UFO expert, eighty six hear old Colonel Colman von Keviczky, who has made an international career of military analysis of UFOs. Many Hungarians affectionately call him "Uncle Colman" because he's a reassuring presence in dealing with the secrets spilling out at countless conferences. An avalanche of books and periodicals now reveal concealed sightings, landings, close encounters, abductions, and more.
"Unite!" That's the urgent call of East European UFOlogists. Researchers and scientists frome all countries must unite, they say, to solve the mystery of this "unknown intelligent force" that's aggressively observing humans all over the planet. Jacques Vallee warns, "The UFO problem is being manipulated for political ends." Now a huge crack in the cover up is developing [1997 material] through the opening of Soviet "X-Files". Two Hollywood film companies bought the rights to parts of the KGB UFO files, while the entire set of KGB files was sold recently to Yale University. [EW: Home of Skull and Bones. Great place to keep stuff secret.]
For decades, UFOs were shrouded in secrecy - not only because governments feared mass panic with resulting economic, political, psychological, scientific, and religious turmoil. They also feared ETs might reveal high tech secrets to enemies - anything from paranormal communications to time travel, astronautics to weaponry - giving adversaries the ultimate edge. Dr. Azhazha, a former submarine captain, who has developed a manual for tracking underwater UFOs, ponders "ET-tech" and the aliens' mastery over forming of matter via some kind of "energy-information exchange". UFOs transmorph, he points out, going from saucer to cigar shaped to spiral in minutes. They can materialize and dematerialize at will. They can affect all our power resource. They can disarm missiles by electrical interference. The craft and occupants are very varied and may be from dozens of different sources and civilizations.
Searching for answers, Colonel Popovitch has investigated crashed UFO sites. She noted the witness suffered severe burns and later there was a massive outbreak of poltergeist activity. She checked out calculations and data allegedly transmitted by UFOs to a Russian scientist, Dr. G. Talalyevsky, that apparently show how to cancel gravity.
Man-made flying discs with varied propulsion systems have been built and flown secretly in the West for years. For a selection of models, check Man-Made UFOs 1944-1994: 50 Years of Suppression by Renato Vesco and David Hatcher Childress. Some claim these craft have been tested at hypersecret military bases like "Area 51" in Nevada. Dr. Vallee asserts that man-made UFOs carrying non lethal weapons have been used in counterterrorism and psychological warfare. Rumors persist that Americans hit the jackpot with ET-tech from a crashed saucer at Roswell, New Mexico. A close encounter isn't a necessity, however, to get off-planet info. In Japan, architect Ikuro Adachi uses psi power to search an "interdimensional data bank" for ultra-advanced tech that's drawn the attention of scientists from Sony's labs.
Alien invasion - the slam-bang explosive kind you see on the big screen - is that scenario plausible? Dr. Azhazha doesn't think so. "Their technology is so advanced it could destroy mankind in two or three minutes, but it didn't. It's an intelligence far ahead of us," he believes, "because it doesn't use this technology against humanity."
Eerily, decades ago, Lenin told H. G. Wells, author of The Time Machine, that contact with extraterrestrials would bring us limitless technical potential and "the end of the role of violence as a means and method of progress."
President Ronald Reagan made the point to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev at the 1985 Geneva summit: A threat to Earth from another planet would unify nations. Gorbachev had proclaimed in a number of speeches "... UFOs exist and must be treated seriously." In a Kremlin speech, reported in Soviet Life in 1987, Gorbachev added, "... if the Earth faced an invasion by extraterrestrials the United States and Soviet Union would join forces to repel such an invasion."
