This message from the Sverdlovsk region was reprinted several times by a variety of local newspapers and was published in a local newspaper in November 1990:
“The press group of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Sverdlovsk Regional Executive Committee notifies: on November 1, 1990, in the industrial zone of the Uralasbest plant, fifteen kilometers from the residential area of the city of Asbest, at 15.20 minutes an explosion occurred in the experimental workshop of the Kalinovskiy chemical plant. For an unknown reason, the storage tank with explosives exploded.
According to preliminary data, six people died, more than twenty were hospitalized, and forty-five more were injured in one way or another. Eight people are considered missing. The building of the experimental workshop was completely destroyed, the neighboring motor transport workshop was damaged. The work on clearing the rubble and rescuing people was carried out by the mine rescue services of the Uralasbest plant and the Malyshevsky mine, units of the UPO unit of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Sverdlovsk Regional Executive Committee and the police. A special interdepartmental commission has been created to investigate the causes of the explosion."
Particular attention is drawn to the following sentence in the report of the press group of the Internal Affairs Directorate: "Eight people are considered missing." According to later reports, these eight were never found. Not a single small piece of their bodies remained at the site of the explosion.
Where did they go? Did the explosion, albeit a very strong one, "smear" the bodies of eight people at once into atoms?
In December 1990, journalist S. Borisova published an article in the Sverdlovsk monthly low-circulation newspaper Vizit under the sensational title: "Was a UFO involved in the explosion in Asbestos?"
“The official report on the tragedy that happened in Asbestos,” wrote S. Borisova, “is silent about the fact that the substance exploded for some reason, the production of which was always considered absolutely safe. There was a rumor among local residents that the cause of the explosion was not only within the walls of the plant … And here we should tell you about another story that happened on that ill-fated day."
Promotional video:
It turns out that four hours after the tragedy, according to the testimony of many eyewitnesses, an unidentified flying object appeared over the explosion site. It was already dark time of the day. The immense darkness of the sky was cut through by a dazzlingly bright luminous ball, which slowly flew up to the blazing ruins of the experimental workshop. Concentric circles diverged around the object's spherical core, resembling a white veil of fog in density and glow. There were seven such circles in total.
UFO hovered over the scene of the tragedy. A powerful cone-shaped blue-green beam soon sprang out of it. It was directed obliquely towards the surface of the earth.
After some short time, the ball started to move and slowly flew up and to the side. Its powerful beam still glowed in the darkness of the evening sky.
S. Borisova reports in her article: “Fifteen oral testimonies and fifty written reports confirming the described picture seriously puzzled the ufological commission that arrived at the scene. It included Sverdlovsk ufologists S. Semenova, G. Trapeznikov, V. Shabanov, D. Bykov, M. Andreev and a scientist who came from Moscow - an expert on ufological research L. Krasa … It turned out that there were not only witnesses to the UFO flight in Asbestos. A resident of the Malysheva village, located north of the city, A. Redkin, a driver by profession, said that at half past seven in the evening his attention was drawn to a bright ball resembling a "dandelion flower".
Inside the "flower" some kind of "detail" revolved, from which sparks were streaming in all directions. The ball moved along an inclined path from top to bottom. Suddenly, a sheaf of light appeared from the "body" of the object, similar to a searchlight beam. He shone in the direction opposite to the movement of the UFO. Soon the object decreased in size and then disappeared altogether.
S. Borisova's article ends with the following unexpected passage: “Considering that reports of UFO sightings were received that evening from many cities in the region, the work on establishing a connection between the explosion and the appearance of UFOs continues. An examination of the photographic material taken in the area of emergency is carried out, geophysical and meteorological conditions are analyzed …"
Kidnaping a boy
During the explosion in the vicinity of the city of Asbestos, eight workers of the chemical plant disappeared without a trace, “melted in the air”. They disappeared, as they say, "with ends" - irrevocably. Elsewhere, under different circumstances, the body of one deceased teenager, which disappeared without a trace, was "returned" by someone who and how many days after his disappearance. This is described in the article by V. Lylin "Aliens-kidnappers?", Published on September 24, 1990 in the newspaper "Zapolyarnaya Pravda", the city of Norilsk.
“During the Inquisition, the people we are going to talk about now,” writes V. Lylin, “would probably have been burned at the stake, during the years of“Soviet stagnation”they would have been hid in a psychiatric hospital. Today these people are not afraid to speak openly about their abilities - and even teach extraordinary art to others. Who are they? Psychics-ufologists.
The article goes on to say that in Norilsk there is, it turns out, its own local "home-grown" small group of amateur psychics, and tells about one of the investigations carried out by the team.
“I confess honestly,” writes V. Lylin, “I have no idea what the expressions“astral bodies”,“white radiant energy”,“dream book”and many others mean. Therefore, when I got to an extraordinary (!) Meeting of the Norilsk school of bioenergy, I felt as if I were in a foreign language environment without an interpreter.
Readers of "Zapolyarnaya Pravda" probably remember, - V. Lylin continues, - that story with an avalanche on Krasnye Kamni, during which the boy disappeared. It happened on June 9th. The search work, which lasted more than a month, did not yield any results. No boy. Nowhere - well, nowhere! - his body is gone. Riddle!.. Exhausted by uncertainty, the parents of the missing teenager turned to our local psychics.
- Your son is now with aliens from outer space - this is the answer heard by the parents in shock at the Norilsk school of bioenergy.
"Nonsense!" - the reader will say. So we thought in the editorial office when rumors about all this reached us.
And now the continuation of the story: fifty days later, the boy's body was suddenly found in a lake near the Red Stones. An autopsy took place on 1 August.
The bewilderment of the forensic scientist would have remained unknown to anyone, if not for the ufologists, who were interested in what happened and followed in the footsteps of this strange story. They themselves went to the medical examiner. At an extraordinary meeting of the Norilsk School of Bioenergy, the results of their investigations were discussed. The audience of more than forty people held their breath …
The condition of the boy's body, according to the forensic scientist's report, did not correspond to what happens in such cases. A person who has been in the water for fifty days is unrecognizable, swollen, the process of decomposition goes extremely far over such a period. As a rule, such bodies of drowned people are identified by their clothes, other things, by their teeth.
However, in this particular case, the body of the deceased was in good condition. Moderate putrefactive changes did not correspond to the time elapsed since the day when the avalanche, apparently, carried away the teenager on the Red Stones and killed him.
The prosecutor's office opened a criminal case on the discovery of a strangely not decomposed corpse.
According to the assumptions of ufologists, the boy was abducted by aliens - perhaps already dead. And then, almost two months later, they threw them into the waters of a lake near the Red Stones … Will this phenomenon have a clue, - asks V. Lylin, - or will it remain a set of oddities? Ufologists are determined to make every effort to unwind this ball …"
