Watching the heavens from Dalnegorsk
By Tamara Kaliberova
“I got scared of a UFO only once. It was during a 1980 expedition to
Kamchatka when we saw a strange disc landing near a 90-meter-deep lake
bottom,” reveals Valery Dvuzhilny, one of Russia’s most notable specialists
in the investigation of unidentified flying objects.
Dvuzhilny, a biologist by occupation residing in a town of Dalnegorsk some 500
kilometers north of Vladivostok, made investigating UFOs the main purpose of
his life. In his four-room apartment, the scientist has established a
laboratory equipped with obsolete Soviet-era tools and a collection of about
1,000 samples of materials found at nearby sites where at least one UFO is
thought to have touched down.
Dvuzhilny was the first to suggest that space visitors use geological fissures
in the planet’s crust to orientate themselves with Earth before descent.
Dalnegorsk County, which is considered the most anomalous zone in Primorye and
is also notable for its 14 caves, is located on a geological “break” that
contains a field of powerful electromagnet and gravitational energy. The
counties of Ternei and Olga and the city of Arsenyev are also locations of
interest for UFO researchers, with more than 10 unexplained sightings in the
past 20 years.
According to Dvuzhilny, on January 29, 1986, a UFO was observed in the
Vysota-611 Mountain near Dalnegorsk. Burnt fragments found at the site revealed
the rare-earth metal lanthanum and silicon shales discharging magnetic
radiation.
In 1995, Dvuzhilny participated in the International UFO Conference in
California, America. Pavel Reshetnikov, head of the anti-aircraft forces in the
Russian Far East, was also invited to the conference but was prohibited from
leaving Russia because of his military status. However, he later confirmed that
a UFO was tracked by radar over the Amur River in the early 1990s. According to
Reshetnikov, the object could not be identified as either a missile or a plane.
Each sample found at the Dalnegorsk site has been subject to multiple
scientific tests, including isotope analysis. Of the samples found 50
kilometers away at the Krivaya River, dozens were proven to have been burnt at
a temperature exceeding 2,000 degrees C. According to Dvuzhilny, thorough
analysis of burnt metal pieces found at sites so remote from each other suggest
they were affected by extra-terrestrials, who may have been interested in them
as sources of lead and silver.
With his modest laboratory tools Dvuzhilny lacks funds to perform his
scientific activities. To conduct an isotope analysis in Moscow costs $1,000,
but Dvuzhilny, who earns very little money teaching students at an ecology
club, does not give up. He is an ample enthusiast, as are his colleagues at the
Science and Research center ‘Kosmopoisk’(Search of Cosmos) where Dvuzhilny
works as a coordinator.
Dvuzhilny, the energetic sky watcher featured in both Japanese and American
documentaries, is currently planning an expedition to the Amgu territory, and
dreams of creating Russia’s first UFO museum in Dalnegorsk.
