Subject: CURRENT-ENCOUNTERS: Chernobyl

Yesterday, April 28, marked the anniversary of the Chernobyl
nuclear accident and explosion. If you look at the graph below
you will notice a noticeable increase in UFO reports after a long
lull, the quality of which has been unmatched to this day. This
indicates that events that effect the planet and a lot of the
populace appear to be the concern of others, also.

The nuclear connection may be a real possibility.

"One Month Earlier:
...a raising number of UFO observations in the area of the
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station (ChNPS)"

Chernobyl Exploded on 4/26/86 at 1:23 AM.
In reference to the possible UFO cause & effect relationship, in
particular, Chernobyl:

In response to Anders Liljegren assertion that "'the UFO
phenomenon' was NOT out to check on that...No sightings in the
affected area until more than a week after the nuclear crash,"
referring to the Chernobyl disaster, I offer this excerpt from
Dr. Vladimir V. Rubtsov's lectures as published in MUFON's 1994
Symposium Proceedings:

"...about one month before the Chernobyl disaster I had a talk
with an air traffic controller of the Kharkov airport. He told me
that, according to pilots' reports, there was a raising number of
UFO observations in the area of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power
Station (ChNPS). Later it became known that on the night of the
fire in the ChNPS, some 3 hours after the explosion, a team of
nuclear specialists saw in the sky over the station a fiery ball
of the color of brass. The witnesses estimated its diameter as
6-8 meters and its distance from the burning nuclear reactor No.
4 as some 300 meters.

Just before the observation these specialists measured the level
of radiation in the place where they were standing. It was
measured at 3000 milliroentgens per hour. 'Suddenly two bright
rays of crimson color extended from the ball to the reactor...
This lasted for some 3 minutes...

The rays abruptly faded and the ball slowly floated away in a
north-westerly direction, towards Byelorussia.

Then we again looked at our radiation monitor. It displayed only
800 milliroentgens per hour...'"

Just thought you'd like to know.
