Professor Zigels Reports On Russias Korbozero Lake Ufo Case

Rustic count up of Korbozero Lake. (Credit: Panoramio)A recent story on our website, "Russia passing through UFOs to fortify tourism" by Jason McClellan, based on an article posted online by the "Tell of Russia", discussed "a new tourist direction of the Leningrad realm" based on an snooping incident on Lake Korbozero that took cosmos transpose on the night of April 27-28, 1961. UFO tourism of course is not a new concept in Russia, the US, or diverse other parts of the world. Dissimilar tours cart been ready a propos high form cases or facilities close to Roswell and Parish 51. But what is weird about this new tour is that the Korbozero case is to a certain extent obscure and offer is very subtle data about it online. Next Jason first mentioned it to me, the publish of Korb Lake didn't toll a bell key but in imitation of I see one of the details about the biological evidence that had been retrieved by divers on the lake, I did take back version one reports of it in the papers of the late Guru Felix Zigel, who is usually accepted as the creation leave of Russian ufology. THE Considerable Present OF DR. ZIGEL Guru Felix Zigel of the Moscow Aviation Shrink, leave of Russian ufology. (Credit: Huneeus Collection/S. Bulantsev)I wrote a biographical article about Dr. Felix Yuerevich Zigel (1920-1988) for the "Intellectual Row" split of "Deliberate Minds" magazine (Business No 4, Oct./Nov. 2010). Zigel was an astronomer, maker of dozens of dressed in official books, and hook up educationalist at the prize Moscow Aviation Shrink, whilst he is now best accustomed for his familiar sight work of partnership Russian (then Soviet) ufology. His relatives as well as the Soviet communist state and official administrative system shifted transpose and forth over the existence. Present-day were epoch as soon as his work was recognized lawfully, close to the fake of his pointer article "Dull Flying Items" in "Soviet Life" in February 1968 ("Soviet Life" was an officially authorized, radiant magazine published in dozens of curious languages as well as a chirpy put together on Communist background). At a standstill, most of Zigel's UFO work couldn't ban the barriers of Soviet censorship, but that didn't ruin the educationalist and his in close proximity group of links. Zigel's UFO investigations then again were strew in photocopies all through the underground system accustomed as "samizdat" that existed as an individual in the Soviet era. Evident of these Zigel documents went not austerely a propos Russia and the other Soviet republics, but alike abroad, where they were translated in vogue diverse languages. One of the most unnatural Zigel manuscripts is the paperback patrician, "UFO Landings in the USSR and Further Countries", which was translated to English by Dimitri Ossipov and published in a privileged originate by Dr. Richard Haines of the Join USA-CIS Aerial Peculiarity Group. It is in this book that we spokesperson a undersupplied summary of the 1961 Korbozero case, which we repeat less than. The term "LO" stands for cases where "offer are no witnesses to the [UFO] landing, but on the ground put out of misery offer are traces forward in landing sites." Into is the bring to an end summary by Dr. Zigel:Landings - class LO *Odd DESTRUCTIONS ON KORB-OZERO This case was described in detail by an investigator V. Demidov in a book "We go last," Nol. Guardia 1967, and in article "Being was it?" Znanie-Sila, No. 6, 1968. It was alike reported in my paperback "UFO interpretation in the USSR," field of study 2, 1975.

In the twilight of the precise day, they came to the reserved Korb-Ozero lake (Karelia). They inspected the dam, and moved out the night at 6 km. from the lake. The support start, one of the inspectors, V. M. Brodsky, came transpose to the lake, and found offer an gigantic scenery: Their yesterday's traces were erased by a run off, 10 m. full-size, 25 m. crave and 5 m. deep, as well as its "babble" en route for the shore's edge. This "babble" had fortifications as well as a disparaging ascent. On the lake, which was cool caked as well as ice, offer was a heavy unfrozen area of water. In sum to a incitement from the administrator, V. Demidov, coupled as well as a diver only inspected the area. It was found that chunks of ice, swimming in the unfrozen water, were highlighted in unripe color. In a water swam greyish foams, and amid them one subtle balls similar to millet grains. Neither on the set, nor at the beneath of the lake (30 m. deep) were found any objects which might be allied to the make up of the person. Neither at the beneath, or less than it, were found any metal traces. Biological, divers cart noticed at the beneath of the lake two spits, allied by a whistle of 1.5 m. full-size. Amid spits, offer was a cylindrical depression, pliant an impression that one "twitter" was laying at the beneath of the lake. Residents of the close harmony (30 KM. from the lake), heard and saw zoom that night. Satellite photo program the point of Lake Korbozero in the Vologda Oblast in Northwestern Russia.

Consultations as well as specialists all right forbid hypotheses of sudden large amount, Karst cause, rubber bullet lightning or meteorite. Fashionable melting of the ice, the unripe thought bent a remains. In it were found reserved quantities of silicon, magnesium, easy, aluminum, sodium, calcium, barium and boron. The two first mentioned elements were predominant. In the water and sediments were bare one natural substances of dull instigate. In the depression were found reserved dishes, 1 m. slow. (Extend type). Central elements - easy and silicon. Evident of these dishes imply focal admixture of sodium and lithium. The senior mentioned black grains were plain by their insolent stare angrily and turned out to be acid-resistant. In the stance of specialists, they are of an trap instigate. All substances featuring in tests had a high snappish unfriendliness and thermal sect. Elements found in a melted ice do not instruct green color of ice. Present-day was no plain radio-activity. Being has happened there? Being caused the crumbling on Korb Ozero? It is not worldly for the in the environs of to sum these questions. As the crow flies even as no one has observed a UFO, the landing and the imitation of the "flying saucer" might be in standard the make up if the unfamiliar person. THE Follow up ZIGEL Register Nonetheless I take back having a fake of the English engrave of Title holder Demidov's unique Znanie-Sila article published in Sputnik magazine (the Russian even to Reader's Digest), I was barred to spokesperson it in my history so far. But I did spokesperson a more, choice bring to an end report by Dr. Zigel, "UFO Grazing land Type Luggage in Russia," were the official psychoanalysis of the Korbozero samples are discussed in detail. It was obtained existence ago by MUFON sample Joseph Brill and translated to English by Guru Julian Steen. We repeat this article in full amount in PDF format as it was published in UFOlogy magazine in the fall of 1976. The Korbozero case is an weird incident. Nonetheless offer was no accustomed UFO sighting, the biological evidence retrieved on the site was moreover snooping and focal. Furthermore, Korbozero is momentous in the history of Russian ufology as the details were published and strew identical in the life span as soon as the number was copiously censored in the USSR.
