- Here's an interesting item from the latest issue of Just Cause
- (Dec. 1993, CAUS PO Box 218, Coventry CT. 06238, $15/year):
-
- DOCUMENT HINTS AT EXPLANATION FOR RUSSIAN UFO WAVE
-
- The Department of State has released a cable making a remarkable
- claim. Dated June 30, 1987, the message reads as follows:
-
- "(Deleted) reports that Soviet authorities have constructed an SDI
- research station near the Radio-Physics Institute in the area of
- Stavropol. The research station apparently is focusing its work on
- electromagnetic methods of shooting down satellites. When tests are
- run, the resulting microwaves can be detected by scientists working at
- the Radiophysics Institute. Perhaps of equal interest is that this
- area has the largest number of UFO sightings in the USSR. A phenomenon
- which our contact says is due to the various SDI experiments conducted
- there."
-
- The message is not detailed enough to evaluate the statements made. If
- true, the story has large implications. Depending upon the nature of
- the experiments, since the US was heavily engaged in SDI testing
- during the Reagan administration, it is conceivable that some of our
- testing was responsible as well for UFO reports here. We could then
- see the theory of passive manipulation in effect, much like that which
- may have been behind the press coverage of the July 1952 wave (Just
- Cause, June 1993, pg. 1). In other words, it is better to allow the
- population to believe that they are seeing flying saucers instead of
- knowing the true nature of what is responsible for whatever aerial
- phenomenon is detected - secret SDI experiments.
-
- And again, if true, the above emphasizes the point of restraint about
- which we are constantly reminding our readers. Any sort of aerial
- activity is almost instantly determined to be alien-orientated by a
- large percentage of the UFO community. There may be other causes for
- the visually peculiar but Earth-based events being viewed.

-
- The July, 1952 wave refers to the Washington National sightings in
- D.C. Does anyone have any idea what type of testing may have been done
- there that could have later been passed off as flying saucers? As I
- recall the official explanation for the D.C. sightings and radar
- reports was temperature inversions, and it wasn't "passed off" to the
- media as anything else, except by Keyhoe.
