A Soviet contribution
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 Ame­
rican " war psychosis". However, in this issue of UFO
CONTACT, you can read an account of recent Soviet
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 research into the problems and mysteries
have a number of his Western contemporaries. The
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
Reli cs of the Past", and " The Evolution of the Univ­
erse and Intelligent Beings."
With acknowledgements to the " SPUTNIK" month­
ly digest, Jan. 1967, we present the article in two
parts. Here is Part One, of ­
Visitors from outer space
by
Vyacheslav Zaitsev.
Expanding knowledge about the Universe usually
means more puzzles than discoveries. As man un­
ravels each new mystery, he is assai led 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 Vegetarische
Universum" , wrote of his research:
" For a quarter of a century archaeologists explor­
ing 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 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
sound-tracks, but the oddest writing in China and
indeed the rest of the world."
Arch aeologists and decipherers of ancient writing
racked 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 Aca­
demy of Pre-History banned publication of his work.
Eventually permission was obtained and the prof­
essor and his four colleagues published their coll­
ective 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 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 scarce.
the caves ten times before the sunrise. When at last
they understood the sign language of the Dropas,
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 Chinese 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 heads and extremely thin, weak
bodies made them look ugly, and " some people on
fast horses" beat them.
Reality seems to confirm the legends. In some of
the Bayan-Kara-Ula caves archaeologists and spel­
eologists have found 12,000 year-old vestiges of
graves and skeletons. The remains belong to human
beings with huge craniums and underdeveloped skel­
etons. The Chinese expeditions 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 walls 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.
Peruvian 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 Tassili frescoes, which were found in the
heart of the Sahara by a French lieutenant named
Brenand. Shortly afterwards the place was examined
by a French expedition led by Henri Lotte, who later
wrote The Search for the Frescoes of Tassi li. In
addition to pictures of animals and hunting scenes,
'
ing gear. Nor is there any association with the hunt­
ers who, as some scholars assume, used ostrich egg­
shells for helmets. Lotte cal led the enigmatic figures
Martians.
Describing the ancient 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 possibly a snail."
So the Peruvian legend and the Tassili 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 subject 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 Greek
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 falling 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 what
must seem a fantastic assumption : that the legend
of the celestial eggs, like any other myth or legend,
could have originated from bonafide impressions of
an actual event. An ancient man may once have seen
a container 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 human 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 even nightsight devices.
Reviewing the latest Soviet space achievements,
th e German magazine Freie Welt in issue No. 12,
1966, printed a selection of rock drawings and phot­
ographs 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.
Many 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 Fergana 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 Central America
and the Far East al l tell of the descent of gods from
the sky. They offer food for thought.
of extraterrestrial visitations. Condensed from the
book " Na Sushe i na more" -
" On Land and at

History as
When deciphered, one of the hieroglyphs presum­
ably 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
the frescoes depict strange figures dressed in what
looks like spacesuits and spherical helmets. The
helmets are definitely attached to the suits, which
evoke no associations with ritual headdress or hunt-
THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
The phrase " Star of Beth lehem" is twenty cent­
uries old. Some regard it as a product of sheer
