Central Intelligence Agency · 1972-03-28 · 108 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This Central Intelligence Agency release, dated 28 March 1972, contains a translated Soviet bibliography on parapsychology (psychoenergetics) and related subjects. E. K. Naumov and L. V. Vilenskaya compiled it in Moscow in 1971. It lists Soviet and foreign works on telepathy, bioenergetics, dermo-optic sensitivity, yoga and autogenic training, followed by a list of journals and foreign writing on Soviet research. Appended is a 1952 CIA foreign-press report from Vienna's Die Presse on two fiery disks over the Belgian Congo uranium mines, which Commander Pierre chased in a fighter.

The sketch below shows the construction principle of the "flying saucers." The captions are, in part, purely conjecture, based on reports by pilots who pursued the disks; in part, they were learned from secret research institutions. The central core contains the explosive (SP) and the installations for radar steerage (R). It has catapult knobs (KZ) and antennae (AN) as well as counter-pressure housing (GD). Around this core, a rim rotates which has jets (D) on its upper and lower side, plus fuel chambers (DB). The roller bearing is shown by the letter L. The launching occurs at a sharp angle in the manner of a discus throw; the revolutions per minute of the rim probably amount to 22,000. The jets on the bottom of the rim serve to propel the disk vertically upwards; lateral steerage results from switching on and off various jet groups.
