Documents / FOIA release
This FBIS London message, relayed through Joint Staff channels on 5 October 1990, carries a Moscow News report by D. Sidorov. It describes a planned Soviet bulletin, UFO and Anomalous Phenomena, edited by Sergey Rybakov, a former member of Felix Zigel's group at the Moscow Aviation Institute. The report says the state agency Soyuzpechat had not yet approved the bulletin and that the military might try to stop it. The first issue was to include cosmonaut transcripts and a story on the Bermuda Triangle.
