Korchagin and kerosene

There is a version that signals from Extraterrestrial civilizations can be detected completely by chance in everyday situations (for example, And.Korchagin and kerosene).

Here is the basic information:

In 1967, Ivan Korchagin, a resident of the village of Staraya Kriusha, Voronezh region, invented a device for communication with Space. The man learned to receive signals from extraterrestrial civilizations with the help of an old kerosene lamp, but so far no one has been able to decipher them. 

It all started with the fact that in 1949 Korchagin learned from a fellow passenger on the train that every 19 years, in September and October, from sunrise to sunset of the Moon, an ordinary two-litre kerosene stove starts "ticking" in her attic. It always happens on the 22nd, 25th and 28th, and the old lady cannot explain what the reason is. 19 years later, on September 22, 1967, Ivan Mikhailovich himself accidentally heard strange sounds in the attic of his house. 

Going upstairs, he noticed an old kerosene stove, in which the mica plate of the viewing window of the pipe was vibrating for some unknown reason. According to Korchagin, the knock sounded like a "morse code" and could well be signals sent from space. The "conversation" with the help of a kerosene stove took place on the same days as his long-time companion, in strict accordance with the phases of the Moon. The man tried to send a response signal to the aliens by tapping an encrypted signal on the kerosene, but whether it was understood is unknown. 

 

In 1986, ufo enthusiasts decided to repeat the experiment with a kerosene stove. And to everyone's amazement, the aliens got in touch again.

Unfortunately, it has not yet been possible to find any mention of this phenomenon manifested in a woman from Belarus, nor of multiple manifestations in neighboring settlements (this statement is attributed to Korchagin), nor of anything like that at all. The whole story is described only in the book "UFO in Voronezh" and a separate (19 pages) publication of their editor-in-chief, the rest of the sources rewrite them. So if someone has information, please share it!

About the fate of the film: as it is written in a separate publication, "the film was transferred to one of the Voronezh Research Institutes and lost there." 

Without Korchagin's original materials, it is extremely difficult to judge that phenomenon. The only thing is that you can find an authentic kerosene stove and try to repeat the experiment. If we count the period of 19 years, then 2024 is not so long left.

However, more comments on the text.

Details about the end and beginning of the kerosene sound are practically not given in the text. The author confines himself to the phrase "the beginning of the sound coincided with the moonrise." However, some details can still be found:

* 09/23/1967 "Korchagin sat by the kerosene stove until morning... and suddenly silence fell. The moon has gone over the horizon! Korchagin remembered the old woman's story and looked at the calendar, where the time of the sunset of the night luminary was indicated. The sudden and seemingly causeless break of the mysterious alarm coincided with it minute by minute." For Voronezh, these figures are: 09/23/1967 (Saturday) 19th lunar day Sunset at 12:12 Sunrise at 20:45

• "On October 31, the trumpet fell silent. Only late in the evening, as if in response to Korchagin's repeated insistent transmission of the light and planetary cipher, she "replied" with two, consisting of a total of 19 click-pulses, a series of taps..." For 31.10.1967, the moonrise took place at 4:17, and sunset at 16:16.

• "But on September 29, 1986, around 9 p.m.... his device started talking....In the morning, Silanov went to work and turned off the receiver, turned it on again in the evening and waited. He recorded the beginning of the signals, the first signal sounded at 20.35, and after looking at the calendar, he found that the moonrise on September 29 was marked with this time. " For 09/29/1986, this is Sunrise at 00:58 Sunset at 18:30 (Moscow time), for his location (Voronezh) it is Sunrise at 01:18 Sunset at 18:02. However, it turns out that the signal sounded at 20.35 was September 30, and not 29. For 30.09.1986 (Moscow time) Sunrise at 01:22 Sunset at 17:38 and 30.09.1986 (Tuesday) 26th lunar day Sunrise at 02:36 Sunset at 18:19 (Voronezh).

Thus, there is a discrepancy between the sound of "devices" and Lunar cycles. In addition, there could not be a complete coincidence between the figures of sunrise and sunset in reality and in the calendar, because for most calendars sunrise and sunset calculated for Moscow are printed, and the locations of Kochergin and Silanov were the Voronezh Region and Voronezh. The difference in such readings can reach 20-40 minutes.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a calendar for 1967 and 1986, so the data for Moscow was taken from the resource molottora.ru and for calculations (checking readings for Moscow and calculating data for Voronezh), the service was used timezone.ru . To verify the correctness of the calculations, I first tried it for the "control dates" for 1998, 2003 and 2012.
