a moscow newspaper recounting his contacts with extra terrestrials several years later he died in a fire but his story. in the documentary says. some are just like. others. four five metres tall. through the year. claim that there is almost daily contact between humans and travellers from extraterrestrial civilizations the number of people wishing to communicate with aliens is constantly growing on the locals make a fast buck out of people's desire to see something that defies scientific explanation for instance victor gets fifty rubles less than two u.s.

dollars for ferrying people across the river. the mysterious site where genuine u.f.o.'s can supposedly be seen is known by locals as the zone and cannot be reached by car from the village visitors go by boat then travel on foot for eight kilometers. i met a u.f.o. seekers and tourists camped out close to the so-called astral meadow a reference to one of the same centers these men first came here in two thousand and four. one something interesting. but i don't want to talk about it. what did it look like. the spear. under into me trees from the counter and world study peculiar phenomena they say that several years ago they too saw something like a fiery sphere and. they didn't manage to capture any shots of that particular

u.f.o. but they have schools of pictures where glowing spheres are easily discernible. for a. period here is a look at. scientists of glowing spheres are said to be quite common according to u.f.o. researches. time aberrations flying saucers and of course aliens are also on record here another tourist in cap meant is just a kilometer away u.f.o. track under new pushkin welcomes his colleagues from the city of perm these young men who came by boat they're spending their holiday in tents beside the campfire at the edge of the woods far away from city streets and office buildings they waste no time getting to their story about the fire is fear the most up was it is fear you said yes the silver spirit. was at their fort worth how did it show up in disappear

with the. resort on a hillside about fifty meters away as we move closer in the distance between us was about twenty meters. in vanished into thin air. just like this. but. only with the facts documentary evidence supporting them but hardly any of the stories can be verified. zone trades visitors differently and shows them different things but what i've seen them makes me think that the place is well suited for me so. tourists coming to our came sometimes inexplicable phenomena to a photographer from kazakhstan called radek was going to produce a collection featuring the picture landscape for an exhibition but his concept changed after he spotted a peculiar energy flow in one of the pictures he says he saw

a white cloud which looked like a human figure copies of the picture are now in great demand in our came. this spirit of our. very beautiful so nice looks like wings. somebody has even detected a human face. the picture was taken near this hill it's popularly known as mt penance it. comes here every year initially he brought his children the newcomers a risk grandchildren. says gives him new strength. to the place creates an hour around me i also feel relaxed here like my soul is at peace with me . ok ms also changed this man's life only used to be the senior manager at a moscow subsidiary of a major us corporation now he's taken the name mustapha even again and he brings

rabbits in a local village today he leads a reclusive life being around the consultants is a thing of the past his main concern now is to find food for his rabbits. if i feed them only grass you know a little rabbits will eat two sacks a day. mostafa says that when he felt the powerful effect of the energy coming from these places he quit his job and sold his moscow apartment he then this village just a few kilometers from a place surrounded by legend he was used to talking with people all day long but now his companions are only dogs and rabbits. they showed up. these are my rabbits when i'm going to feed them they line up like this first there's five white then one red and four black and two grey

at the end it's so beautiful. there are only two hundred households in the village of. its nearest city is magni two gorski but that's one hundred fifty kilometers away in soviet times locals made their living in a collective farm well now they have to make money elsewhere mustapha a pension as they deliver milk to arcane. and we see that we don't leave until. he runs how tell business and that's how he makes a living yes there is nothing unusual in that. mustafa regularly visits but more often than not he helps people prepare before they go to the site of the ancient town his house has been functioning as a mini hotel the previous owner had decorated the guest rooms himself in an oriental style.

this series that's these plates are simple enough to pull off they have only some quotes from the qur'an on them. on the old people living in the east used to read these verses over their food before they begin each meal they believe this will make the food healthier with dinner there are always visitors to mustapha as house more and more people come to this area of an ancient civilization and many keep coming back. i'd say they're driven by spiritual vacuum in their hearts they're keen to have it filled with something but in that sense many are not very comfortable with religions they want to find something different. from expects another group of visitors at his house tonight because mystery for ever attracts people to the.

imagine your life big city. crystal clear water. organic food. living in harmony with nature. sounds impossible. some people have already killed. a place under the sun. the ancient. was founded for. according to some estimates it's as

old as the egyptian pyramids today only the contours of the town remain. the local scientist who discovered. difficulty finding his bearings. from the north is more or less identifiable the north is from the south and from the east were less obvious but they were secret entrances leading to underground labyrinths strangers had no access to this fortress. have been digging on the site for over twenty years in summer time local college undergraduates including students of doctors. under the guidance of professionals. look at suppose. i think it's a rebel. no it looks more like a hipbone. has been here many times before he'll soon write

a scientific paper about. become aware of the fact that man is part of nature. on the other hand when i cut into all those cultural layers. i clearly realize that man stands apart because he changes nature to suit his needs. tourists from all over the world arrived at where the ancient town once stood. here used to be st it has a wooden compering people might move freely here. most of the visitors to don't care much about historical research they're attracted instead by the mystical atmosphere generated by over twenty years of excavation work. let's go to mt alone we have some business to attend to bit of sorcery enough for now it's summer time for. people with supposed psychic powers and fans of the paranormal have named each of the hill surrounding the ancient landmark one of them is called mt love another

mountain which derives from a russian word meaning to practice witchcraft how. bad. the campus start each morning with energizing exercises those with psychic skills and bio energetics experts tell people how to heal themselves. our hands are our healers they can do anything and they are the main channels healing deep seeded elements you can easily suppress headaches and this is what you do as if you were calming your hair. after the energy generating exercises irina ivanova who believes herself to be psychic measures the growth of the volunteers so-called bio field along with her husband they use special frames to do it in. say they move in harmony with the person's energy this is the edge of the person's body field sometimes the frames pinpointed sometimes they move toward each other and

sometimes they interplay. into mitri experts on u.f.o.'s and extraordinary phenomena visiting forests around the village of malka to study natural sources of energy this area is one of the best known hot spots for paranormal activity in russia. is a local who's made the biggest contribution to the study of design he's camping out near what's known as astral meadow but larry says he's seen more unidentified flying objects here than anywhere else. hello there our. guys the zone is becoming more active maybe people coming here become more sensitive to its activity anyway they see many unusual things here valarie

filmed one of his first encounters with the u.f.o. on video follow experts now refer to him as the one who saw the orange fear. clearly. see him clearly in a ten fold increase. larry says he observed such things nearly every day in fact he says he saw a column of light just days before the u.f.o. experts arrived it isn't that from here it went there it turned into a light spot before it finally disappeared and some think it's a sphere but it's not it's just a source of light. right here. dimitri decided to use a radiation detector to measure the radioactivity levels where the sphere is supposed to have appeared some time ago the same devices were used in the russian

army the monitor registers weak radiation coming from the. radiation poses no hazard to life on whatsoever to monitor shows something might have come out of the earth but i don't know what it is. the u.f.o. experts don't yet know exactly what causes the radiation. it would be interesting to take measurements right after the objects disappearance yeah that's possible we need to measure radiation soon after an anomaly that will give us a bit of chance of finding something worthwhile. the village of two hundred kilometers from you catherine book is another paranormal hotspot in the your rules one of the villages nicholai churkin has been studying u.f.o.'s for fifty years the soviet k.g.b. was suspicious of his work nikolai was question several times and some of his evidence was confiscated but he has been able to preserve most of it.

here you can see albums to photo albums with pictures. and reports of our expedition. experiences. the soviet u.f.o. specialist says his interest was roused after his first contact with aliens that was when they collide was only five years old he maintains that he still reported to another dimension in the vegetable garden just outside the house where he lived . i saw a pyramid. it was a white pyramid. and on a day a human approaching from the other side and the vegetation here was quite thick. that was where those potatoes are now. and later i read books by experts. on paranormal events. saying it was entry to a different dimension. after that aliens became

a frequent sight in the village of rerouting at least that's what nikolai says. flying saucer landing in this forest over there. we were driving from a neighboring village. and at first i thought it was a shooting star or a satellite but then i clearly saw it was a saucer. the object was thirty meters in diameter and two and a half meters high sticking out of the. first the locals poked fun at but later. villages found themselves in a similar situation. was no exception. something yes could you tell me about it. well it was a round object and there were different colors on it it hovered for a while. and then began moving slowly away.

to the psychics healers and shamans meet. each summer and share their experiences with one another. every one. of. these people came here from several towns they first met only a few hours ago but share a common interest a set of exercises helping to promote khomeini between man and nature. symbolized the joy of life become a white means purity. these people walk around the meadows for hours on end each exercise has a meaning of its own. you touch

the earth and communicate with the skies everything in you becomes pure and you yourself can purify the world. their air that i am. a red a tree shaman is one of the festival's most important guests those who want to attend his sessions sign up well in advance for someone to know their future others feel the need to get over divorce while others may be in need to finding a spouse. as my aim is to allow people to relax. but it's a combination of relaxation and awareness a stage between slumber and wakefulness when they fall into a trance i told them what they should do to keep this soul strong.

people who practice similar techniques also seek the healers advice one of them is out a mill because you can have a coach from kazakstan he's a bio energetics expert. nicholai to exercise what he calls a negative force from an shaman resorted to his favorite method of hypnotizing the patients. performs this type of procedure about ten times a day. or a meal is pleased with the result he says the negative force has magically disappeared. but i felt a great relief there was a sensation of lightness all over me that it felt as if energy was pouring into me and now i'm just trying. as u.f.o. experts on brain dimitri wind up their studies in a sighting zone near the village of malibu they decided to talk to the locals as it turns out they're not so mystified by the so-called phenomena said to take place in

their area some believe the anomalies are the result of geographic and atmospheric conditions others insist the anomalies result from tests conducted at an army testing range nearby. but i think ninety percent of what people see here is the result of those tests one way or another after that they work out those territories as per normal that's it people can explain what goes on here and invent things. that's much easier to do. after that chat with the locals the two u.f.o. experts pitch a tent and make a camp fire they still hope that this area will reveal at least some of its secrets if not on this trip there's always next time.
