A Soviet contribution
IT IS RARE INDEED that we read or hear of the
Russian views on " Fly ing Saucers", although, in th e
fifties they were referred to as an example of Ame
rican " war psychosis". However, in th is issue of UFO
CONTACT, you can read an accou nt of recent Sovi et
moves reg arding the UFO -case. (See " Soviet Radar
Spots UFO" .)
Here, below, we bring you a Russi an writer' s acc
ount of his researc h into the problems and myst eries
have a number of his Western co ntempo raries . The
author has spe nt 30 years co ll ecting evidence to
back up his thesis that intelligent beings from outer
space have had contact with our Earth . He has
written two books, " C osm ic Rem iniscenc es in Written
Reli cs of the Past", and " The Evolutio n of the Univ
erse and Intelligent Beings ."
With ack nowledgements to the " SPUTNIK" month
ly digest, Jan. 1967, we present the artic le in two
parts. Here is Part One, of -
Visitors from outer space
by
Vyachesl av Z ai tsev .
Expand ing knowledge about the Universe usually
means more puzzles than discoveries. As man un
ravels eac h new mystery, he is assai led by fresh
doubts and torments, for he has caught a glimpse
of anot her mystery lying ahead. For the explorer -
in any field - it is prob ab ly this yet undiscovered
territory vag uely seen in the distance th at sparks the
searc h 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 pi eced together an amazing
theory of space-ships on a visit to the earth 12,000
years ago. Th e Germ an magazi ne, " Das Vegetaris che
Universum" , wrote of hi s research:
" For a quarter of a century archaeo log ists explor
ing caves in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains , on the
border of Chin a 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 thous
and 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
sou nd -tracks, but the oddest writing in China and
indeed the rest of the world."
Arch aeologists and dec ipherers of ancient writing
racked their brains trying to so lve the secret of the
spirals . The result of th e research by the Chinese
archaeo logi st was so shatteri ng that the Peking Aca
demy of Pre-History banned publication of his work.
Eventu ally permission was obtained and the prof
essor and his four co ll eagues published their coll
ective effort under the intriguing title " Groove
Writing Rel ati ng to Spaceships which , as Recorded
on the Discs, Existed 12,000 Years Ago. "
The caves high up in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Moun
tains are inhabited by the Ham and Dropa tribes -
frail , 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 sca rce .
the caves ten times before the sunrise. When at last
they understood the sign languag e of the Drop as,
they realized that the newcomers had peaceful int
entions ..."
Another Ham hieroglyph expresses regret over the
loss of the tribe's own spaceships during a danger
ous landing in high mountains, and the failure to
build new ones .
In the opinion of Ch inese archaeologists, the
Bayan -Kara-Ula hieroglyphs are so mysterious that
their interpretation and use for scientific research
require the utmost care.
To obtain further information , the discs were
scraped free of adhering rock particles and sent to
Moscow for study. Scientists there made two import
ant discoveries. The discs were found to contain a
large amount of cobalt and other metals - a shaking
discovery. Further investigation revealed that the
discs vibrate in an unusual rhythm , as if they carried
an electric charge or were part of an electric circuit.
The 12,000 year-old discs remain a challenge to
science.
Legends of ancient China say that small , gaunt,
yellow-faced men came down from the clouds. But
earthly tribesmen fe lt a revulsion for the visitors ,
whose enormous he ads and extreme ly thin , weak
bodies made them look ugly, and " some people on
fast horses" beat them .
Rea lity seems to confirm the legends. In some of
the Bayan-Kara-Ula caves arch ae ologists and spel
eologists have found 12,000 year-old vestiges of
graves and skeletons . T he remains belong to human
bei ngs with huge craniums and underdeveloped skel
etons . The Ch inese exped itions which discovered
the grounds reported they had found " an extinct
species of ape. " But so far as is known apes do not
bury each other in graves or write hieroglyphic sym
bols on stone discs.
What makes the issue doubly involved is that the
inner wa ll s of the caves are covered in many places
with pictures of the rising sun , the moon , and the
stars, spaced by a multitude of pea-sized dots (poss
ibly tiny pictures) which seem to be approaching the
Earth in a mountain area.
CELESTIAL EGGS .
Peruvi an legend has it that the ancient inhabitants
of Peru were born from bronze, gold and silver eggs
which had fallen from heaven . The tale is cited but
left without comment in Jean Elisee Reclus ' famous
book " La Terre."
A variant of the egg legend is featured in the
famous Tass ili frescoes , which were found in the
heart of the Sahara by a French lieutenant named
Brenand . Shortly afterwards the pl ace was examined
by a French expedition led by Henri Lotte, who later
wrote The Search for the Frescoes of T assi li. In
addition to pictures of animals and hunting scenes,
'
ing gear. Nor is there any association with the hunt
ers who , as so me sc holars ass ume, used ostrich egg
shells for helmets. Lotte cal led the enigmatic figures
Martians.
Describing the ancien t drawings on the cave walls
the French explorer says that one of them depicts
" a man appearing from an egg-shaped object cov
ered with concentric circles. The object resembles
an egg , or pos sib ly a snail. "
So the Peruvian legend and the Tass ili frescoes
seem to have much in common. But the parallel does
not end there . At a later date, in yet another part of
the world , the same subje ct was treated by ancient
Greek sculptors, certain of whom portrayed Castor
and Pol lux of Dioscuria, as well as Helen and Neme
sis, with remnants of egg-shells on their heads, for
according to Gre ek mythology they arose from
celestial eggs.
How did the odd idea of man 's birth from an egg
take shape? Perhaps by analogy with birds or fish?
But why fa lling from the sky? One Latin American
legend says that eggs dropped down from the sky
on dandelions ! The absence of any existing inter
pretation of this art leaveg the door open for wh at
must seem a fantastic ass umption : that the legend
of the celestial eggs, like any other myth or legend ,
could have originated from bonafide impressions of
an act ual event. An ancient man may once have seen
a co ntainer with a human being in it descend from
the sky, and imagined that the visitor was emerging
from a celestial egg.
" VISITING CARDS " OF SPACE TRAVELLERS.
During excavations at different times in Japan
archaeologists found figurines (dogu) depicting a
kind of hum an or anthropoid in odd-looking "space
suits " and with helmets wholly covering their heads.
On the helmets were visible marks of something like
slit-type glasses, breath-filters , antennae, hearing
aids and eve n nig htsight devices.
Reviewing the latest Soviet space ac hievements,
th e Germ an magazine Fre ie Welt in issue No. 12,
1966, printed a selection of rock drawings and phot
ograp hs of dogu under the humorous title, " Vi siting
Cards?", declaring that such drawings and figurines
might be construed as proof that the Earth was once
visited by space beings.
Man y similar rock pictures have been discovered
throughout the world . There are pictures of space
men on cave wal ls in the Val Comonique, the Swiss
Alps, in Au stralia, close to Fergan a and near the
city of Navoi , in Soviet Central Asia.
Puzzles that may have started with a space visit
are contained in legends and myths. Legends of Au
stralia, the Near East, South and Centra l Am erica
and the Far East al l tell of the descent of gods from
the sky. They offer food for thought.
of extraterrestrial visitations . Cond ensed 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 Bib lical and pre - History as

helmets are defin itely attached to the suits, which
evoke no associations with ritual headdress or hunt-

The phrase " Star of Beth lehem " is twenty cent
