IT IS RARE INDEED that we read or hear of the Russian views on "Flying Saucers", although, in the fifties they were referred to as an example of American "war psychosis". However, in this issue of UFO CONTACT, you can read an account of recent Soviet moves regarding the UFO-case. (See "Soviet Radar Spots UFO".)

## A Soviet contribution

Here, below, we bring you a Russian writer's account of his research into the problems and mysteries of extraterrestrial visitations. Condensed from the book "Na Sushe i na more" - "On Land and at sea" - we can see how the writer has followed many of the same threads of Biblical and pre - History as

have a number of his Western contemporaries. In author has spent 30 years collecting evidence to back up his thesis that intelligent beings from outer space have had contact with our Earth. He has written two books, "Cosmic Reminiscences in Written Relics of the Past", and "The Evolution of the Universe and Intelligent Beings."

With acknowledgments to the "SPUTNIK" monthly digest, Jan. 1967, we present the article in two parts. Here is Part One, of ~

## Visitors from outer space by Vyncheslav Zaitsev.

Expanding knowledge about the universe usually means more puzzles than discoveries. As man travels each new mystery, he is assailed by fresh doubts and torments, for he has caught a glimpse of another mystery lying ahead. For the explorer in any field - it is probably this yet undiscovered territory vaguely seen in the distance that sparks the search for knowledge.

A report by a Chinese archaeologist startled the world when it was published in 1965, for he had out of old bits of knowledge pieced together an amazing theory of space-ships on a visit to the earth 12,000 years ago. The German magazine, "Das Vegetariische Universum", wrote of his research:

"For a quarter of a century archaeologists exploring caves in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains, on the border of China and Tibet, have been finding old-looking stone discs covered with unreadable patterns and hieroglyphs. A total of 716 such discs have been discovered, apparently dating back several thousand years.

"Like a gramophone record, each disc has a hole in its centre from which a double groove spirals its way to the circumference. The grooves are not sound-tracks, but the oddest writing in China and indeed the real of the world."

Archaeologists and decipherers of ancient writing sacked their brains trying to solve the secret of the spirals. The result of the research by the Chinese archaeologist was so shattering that the Peking Academy of Pre-History banned publication of his work. Eventually permission was obtained and the professor and his four colleagues published their collective effort under the intriguing title "Groove Writing Relating to Spaceships which, as Recorded on the Discs, Existed 12,000 Years Ago."

The caves high up in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains are inhabited by the Ham and Oropa tribes - trail, stunted men averaging four feet two inches in height. So far they have defied ethnic classification. In fact, any detailed information about the tribes is extremely scarce.

When deciphered, one of the hieroglyphs presumably set down by an ancient member of the Ham tribe read: "The Dropas came down from the clouds in their gliders. Our men, women and children hid in
