a major industrial and financial center with all the office buildings traffic jams and crowded sidewalks it seems an unlikely place for something mystical. under a u. pushkin is a logistics manager for a transport company but his hobby is about as far from the field of transportation as he can be motion is probably the only similarity under a studies unidentified flying objects his hobby takes him to every corner of the region. now he and his friend dmitri are about to set out for the village of mallorca. this small town is three hundred kilometers from. two thousand kilometers from moscow it entered the national spotlight back in the late one nine hundred eighty s. it was then that. one of the villages sent a letter to a moscow newspaper recounting his contacts with extraterrestrials several years

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. amitie u.f.o. seekers and tourists camped out close to the so-called astral meadow a reference to one of the zone centers these men first came here in two thousand and four. one something interesting. but i don't want to talk about it. what it looked like. the spear. under into me trees from the counter and world study peculiar sonoma they say that several years ago they too saw something like a fiery sphere. 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.

was about twenty metres. it vanished into thin air. just like this. but. concerned only with the facts or documentary evidence supporting them but hardly any of the stories can be verified. zone trade's 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 arcane. this spirit of our. very beautiful still 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. a pensioner comes here every year initially he brought his children the newcomers or is grandchildren. says gives him new strength. so the place creates an hour around me i also feel relaxed here like my soul is at peace with me. changed to 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 the brigade and he brings

rabbits and 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 me 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 in 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. shut up. these are my rabbits couldn't escape 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 magnitogorsk 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 most stuff is named as a pension as they deliver milk to. them we see daniel we don't leave. he rounds how to 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 serious the plates are simple enough to pull off they have only some quotes

from the qur'an on them foolproof card on the old people living in the east used to read these verses over their food before they began each meal they believe this will make the food healthier with their always visitors to most office 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 that 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.

and discover it. with the wild. yourself and become free. say. the ancient town of our country was founded four thousand years ago in russia southern europe according to some estimates it's as old as the egyptian pyramids today only the contours of the town remain. a local scientist who discovered as no difficulty finding his bearings

the border. from the north is more or less identifiable north entrance is from the so 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 and some of time local college undergraduates including students of doctors don't know which workers volunteers under the guidance of professionals. look at suppose. i think it's a rebel. no it looks more like a hipbone. yvonne has been here many times before he'll soon write a scientific paper about. become aware of the fact that man is a 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 lo we have some business to attend to that 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. one of them is called mt love another mountain which derives from a russian word meaning to practice witchcraft. how. 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 healers they can do anything and they are the main channels healing deep seeded elements you can easily suppress headaches and there this is what do you do as if you were calming your hand. after the energy generating exercises irina ivanova who believes herself to be psychic measures the growth of the volunteers so-called bio fields 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 play.

into mitri experts on u.f.o.'s and extraordinary phenomena visiting forests around the village of mt 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 these camping out in 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 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 detected 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 the 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 of u.f.o. 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 nicholai was only five years old he maintains that he saw reportable 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 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. at 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.

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. is helping to promote home any between man and nature. symbolize 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 hear far the world's.

heroin i am. read a tree shaman is one of the festivals most important guests those who want to attend sessions sign up well in advance some want to know their future others feel the need to get over divorce others maybe need to finding a spouse. as is 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 of. 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. 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 fine. u.f.o. experts andre and dmitri wind up that 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.
