- "I got scared of a UFO only once. It was during
a 1980 expedition to Kamchatka when we saw a strange disc landing near
a 90-meter-deep lake bottom," reveals Valery Dvuzhilny, one of
Russia's
most notable specialists in the investigation of unidentified flying
objects.
-
- Dvuzhilny, a biologist by occupation residing in a town
of Dalnegorsk some 500 kilometers north of Vladivostok, made investigating
UFOs the main purpose of his life. In his four-room apartment, the
scientist
has established a laboratory equipped with obsolete Soviet-era tools and
a collection of about 1,000 samples of materials found at nearby sites
where at least one UFO is thought to have touched down.
-
- Dvuzhilny was the first to suggest that space visitors
use geological fissures in the planet?s crust to orientate themselves with
Earth before descent. Dalnegorsk County, which is considered the most
anomalous
zone in Primorye and is also notable for its 14 caves, is located on a
geological 'break' that contains a field of powerful electromagnet and
gravitational energy. The counties of Ternei and Olga and the city of
Arsenyev
are also locations of interest for UFO researchers, with more than 10
unexplained
sightings in the past 20 years.
-
- According to Dvuzhilny, on January 29, 1986, a UFO was
observed in the Vysota-611 Mountain near Dalnegorsk. Burnt fragments found
at the site revealed the rare-earth metal lanthanum and silicon shales
discharging magnetic radiation.
-
- In 1995, Dvuzhilny participated in the International
UFO Conference in California, America. Pavel Reshetnikov, head of the
anti-aircraft
forces in the Russian Far East, was also invited to the conference but
was prohibited from leaving Russia because of his military status. However,
he later confirmed that a UFO was tracked by radar over the Amur River
in the early 1990s. According to Reshetnikov, the object could not be
identified
as either a missile or a plane.
-
- Each sample found at the Dalnegorsk site has been subject
to multiple scientific tests, including isotope analysis. Of the samples
found 50 kilometers away at the Krivaya River, dozens were proven to have
been burnt at a temperature exceeding 2,000 degrees C. According to
Dvuzhilny,
thorough analysis of burnt metal pieces found at sites so remote from each
other suggest they were affected by extra-terrestrials, who may have been
interested in them as sources of lead and silver.
-
- With his modest laboratory tools Dvuzhilny lacks funds
to perform his scientific activities. To conduct an isotope analysis in
Moscow costs $1,000, but Dvuzhilny, who earns very little money teaching
students at an ecology club, does not give up. He is an ample enthusiast,
as are his colleagues at the Science and Research center
Kosmopoisk (Search of Cosmos) where Dvuzhilny works as a
coordinator.
-
- Dvuzhilny, the energetic sky watcher featured in both
Japanese and American documentaries, is currently planning an expedition
to the Amgu territory, and dreams of creating Russia's first UFO museum
in Dalnegorsk.
