[BLANK] reported disc saucer observation — February 1967

On or during February 1967, at or near [BLANK], the source reports the following sequence: Vdovykin, does not think they are of organic origin at all. (c) Bacteria in meteorites have been reported time and again both in the East and West. The main idea is that the Tunguska meteor, which landed in Russia in 1908, was in reality a spaceship from Mars supplied with a hydrogen bomb. Kazantsev, however, proceeded to attack official science as concealing from the public the true situation, etc., thus closely paralleling the UFO enthusiasts in the U.S. who accuse the Air Force of suppressing evidence supporting flying-saucer visitations. These are gods coming down to earth, angels flying through the air, destruction of Sodom and Gomorra (evidently by an atomic bomb), kidnapping of people (the biblical Enoch) by the intruders, etc. This problem is twofold: (1) How can understandable signals be transmitted and (2) how can signals from outer space be detected and interpreted? Gindilis, reported in an article entitled "The Possibilities of Communication with Extraterrestrial Civilizations (Zemlya I Vselennaya, No. The information returned may have been made obsolete by better systems developed after the mission departed. (b) Radio contact is a method for exchange of signals which is now technically possible but the distances at which it is effective are very small in comparison with the size of the universe. The author believes the UFO's are coming from Mars, and its satellites are platforms for launching Martian flying saucers. Gindilis also points out that another important argument in favor of a large number of planetary systems in the galaxy results from observations of "Barnard's Flying Star." Because this star is very close to the solar system, (closest to us after Proxima and Alpha Centauri) it moves rapidly along the celestial sphere in comparison with other stars. Barnard's Flying Star is a red dwarf of the M5 spectral class with a mass of 0.15 that of the sun. Van de Kamp (American) observed that the proper motion (path across the celestial sphere) of this star has periodic oscillations caused by the presence of an invisible dark satellite.
