The Alien. Russia

According to the statements of the residents of the village of Kalinovy, which was tucked next to Kyshtym (Chelyabinsk region), it all started on a stormy night on August 13, 1996. It was then that a local resident, a lonely pensioner Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina received a "telepathic order": get up and immediately go to the cemetery.  However, the presence of telepathy was explained quite simply, Tamara Vasilyevna was not quite mentally healthy and periodically collected flowers at the cemetery. The strange thing was that she found the one who was calling her. A small creature with huge eyes was looking at her from behind a hillock.....

But let's better give the floor to the participants of the events. It was a creepy find - either a human baby, or an unknown animal: the head is a pointed pumpkin, instead of lips - a crack, the body is covered with fur, sharp claws on the fingers... This creature was squeaking pitifully, and the compassionate old lady decided to take him with her - wrapped him up, brought him home, fed him and called Alyosha.

Further in the plot of this already strange story, phantasmagoric twists begin at all. The cheerful grandmother began to brag to the neighbors that she had a son in her old age. But since Prosvirina was registered with a psychiatrist, the neighbors, without further ado, cunningly reported her strange behavior to the doctors. Those, too, did not understand for a long time, arrived, gave a sedative injection and took them to the hospital. And in vain the old woman cried, asked to leave her at home. No one listened to her, and the "alien" left unattended died...

Stanislav Samoshkin, pathologist.

In 1996, at the request of the district police officer, I examined an unknown creature. According to the person who found him, a gynecologist (Irina Ermolaeva and urologist Igor Uskov)  recognized this creature as an embryo. The examination took place in the sectional hall, in the presence of the district police officer.

  The corpse was mummified, internal organs were missing, only the skeleton and the remains of the skin were presented. The creature was about 25 cm long . I was struck by the fact that the skull is tower-shaped, consists of four bones - occipital, frontal and two parietal-temporal. Moreover, there is no clear separation between the temporal and parietal bones. The peculiarities of the structure of the skull also include the fact that the brain department prevailed over the facial one.

According to all anthropological indicators, this creature should be attributed to intelligent, that is, not to the category of animals, because it is known that the same monkeys have a brain cavity of the skull smaller than the face. The pelvic bones are formed according to the type of erect. The arms and legs were twisted, it was not possible to see the fingers, because the corpse was mummified. Internal organs were missing.

The elderly pensioner Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina went to the rural cemetery. 

Tamara suffered from mental disorders for many years and collected flowers from local graves to decorate her bedroom. In the evening, after returning from the cemetery, I had dinner and went to bed. 

Suddenly, she heard a strange "voice" in her brain. He asked Vasilyevna to return to the cemetery. She got dressed, grabbed a flashlight and went out. At the cemetery, she saw huge eyes looking at her from behind a nearby mound.

 The pensioner approached the grave and saw a strange creature about 25 centimeters tall. Obviously, it wasn't a person. It had a tiny onion-shaped head that seemed to consist of five "petals". The little creature had no ears, and huge slanted cat eyes covered most of its face. The creature could not speak, but began to whistle softly to attract Tamara's attention. This is probably how he communicated in his "home world". 

The pensioner took the creature to her home and there began to examine the "alien". 

The body of "Alyosha" (the name given to the creature by Tamara) was plump and soft like jelly. The skin was gray, and there were dark brown spots on the head. He had no hair, small holes instead of ears, and a small flat nose that allowed the creature to breathe. The eyes were dark gray without eyelids. The vertical pupils of the eyes are constantly narrowing and expanding. He had long fingers with small sharp claws. There were no signs of genitals that would indicate his gender. Interestingly, this creature did not have a navel, which all mammals should have. 

The woman could not figure out what to feed Alyosha. His mouth resembled a tiny hole and had no lips, but he could stretch it wide, revealing a full set of teeth, but a very small lower jaw and a huge scarlet tongue occupied most of his mouth, which interfered with any chewing process. Tamara inserted a caramel lollipop into the creature's mouth, and it began to suck it, she also fed it milk and water from a small spoon. Soon after eating, wet sweat appeared on the alien's body. A sweet smell emanated from the sweat, completely permeating the clothes and furniture. 

From time to time Tamara wiped her sweat with a rag from Alyosha. The creature remained motionless most of the time, hardly moving. Sometimes it seems that you stretch your legs. The next day Tamara told all the villagers that she had a "child" named Alyosha. 

At first, most people thought it was just Tamara's hallucinations. However, one day the daughter-in-law of a pensioner (also Tamara) came to her. After sitting and talking for a while in the kitchen, the old lady mentioned that it was time to feed the baby. Her sister-in-law followed her into another room and saw a strange creature wrapped in a veil. 

Later, the daughter-in-law and her mother saw the creature, but did not report it to the police. They thought that if it was a "human child", they would have reported it to the police. They thought it was some kind of animal and therefore Tamara's pet. However, a neighbor reported Tamara to psychiatrists, and one day an ambulance arrived and took her to a psychiatric hospital. 

Worried Tamara tried to explain that she had left one child in the house, but the doctors did not take her seriously. No one knew that Tamara was taken to the hospital, no one took care and fed the creature, and soon it died.

 After the alien's death, his body began to dry out and mummify. 

One man, Vladimir Nurdinov, remembered this creature, he often visited Tamara and reported that he had seen Alyosha, and after learning that Tamara had been taken to the hospital, he went to her house to pick up Alyosha. But he was too late; the alien was dead, mummified and lying on the bed. Nurdinov took the corpse to himself, not knowing what to do with it. 

Soon the police came to his apartment - he was suspected of stealing electricity in the New Year. The police found the body and suspected that it was the body of a mummified child, and took it away for further study. However, doctors confirmed that the mummified creature had 20 signs distinguishing it from a human, and medical experts rejected the idea that Alyosha could be a mutated child. 

During the re-examination, other experts suggested that the city of Kyshtym is located on the territory that was infected after the crash of a strange object in 1957. After the crash, it was reported that, possibly, as a result of radiation, several human mutations were born in the world. square. 

Soon the mummified body was taken by the head of the UFO organization from the town of Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk region, Galina Semenkova, to conduct her "research". Soon she disappeared from sight, and attempts to reach her and the mummified body were unsuccessful. But recently Semenkova surfaced at a UFO seminar in Tokyo and explained what happened to Alyosha's remains. According to Semenkova, when she was taking the corpse from Kyshtym to her city, a UFO appeared in the sky. 

The engine of her car stopped, and the aliens (not described) with UFOs demanded the body of their dead comrade, and she immediately obeyed.

A strange "creature" was discovered in May 1996 in the village of Kaolin under Kyshtym pensioner Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina, who suffered from mental illness.

In a number of publications The media mistakenly indicates August as the date of his discovery, in which his already mummified remains were actually discovered. Prosvirina lived alone; her son Sergei was serving time for theft in pelmeni, and her daughter-in-law visited her once every two weeks. Tamara Prosvirina told her daughter—in-law, Tamara Prosvirina, about the place of the find in a personal conversation. From her words, she learned from her mother—in-law that she went to get water from a well in the forest, where she heard a call - sounds like a faint cry. She went to the call and found a certain creature under a large pine tree[6]. According to a neighbor Tamara Naumova, Prosvirina went to the forest near the local school and returned only three days later with a "creature" wrapped in a handkerchief. No one noticed her absence, except Naumova, who in her daily life fed her and helped her with the housework, visiting her house every day. According to another version, Tamara Prosvirina found the creature in a local cemetery during a thunderstorm.

Prosvirina told about this place of discovery, already being in the hospital in the presence of the attending physician and the investigator, after she was reproached for not reporting the discovery to the police. Leaving the "creature" to live at home, Tamara Prosvirina called him "Alyosha". I fed him mostly sweets. Prosvirina's daughter-in-law saw this process and confirmed that Alyosha was really alive and seemed to be trying to explain himself while feeding, making sounds resembling a whistle.

Prosvirina told the neighbors that her son, little Alyoshenka, lives at her house. Due to the fact that she was registered with a psychiatrist, neighbors, mistaking her words for another exacerbation of mental illness, reported Prosvirina's strange behavior to doctors, after which in mid-July Tamara Prosvirina was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital in the village of Novogorny.

In August — September 1996, at that time, the captain of justice, the investigator of the Kyshtym Department of Internal Affairs, Yevgeny Mokichev, conducted a criminal investigation into the theft of a copper electric wire from a power line support in the village of Novogorny. The suspect in the case was a local resident Vladimir Faritovich Nurtdinov.

During the interrogation, Nurtdinov said that he had an alien mummy hidden in his garage. According to Nurtdinov, he found a dead, dried-up body in Prosvirina's house and took it for further resale, as he assumed from its appearance that it was the remains of an alien. For better preservation, since the remains were damp, when he returned home, he removed the entrails, washed them with alcohol, dried the mummy in the sun and hid it in the garage.

Investigator Vladimir Bendlin, who got the case, became interested in a strange find. Since the authorities did not approve of the initiative, he decided to conduct a private unofficial investigation. Moreover, the discovered dwarf, in his opinion, really correlated with the image of an alien.

The story has received some publicity. The result was the arrival of ufologists of the so-called "Star Academy of UFO contact by the Zolotov method". Using phrases like "The object is abandoned for navigation and analytical contact. The exit is difficult due to the annihilation-light activity," they convinced investigator Bendlin to hand over the mummy for study.

It was assumed that the conclusions would be made public and the situation with the alien Alyosha would receive a scientific explanation. But then neither the representatives of the "Star Academy", nor the Kyshtym dwarf, nor information about them in the village of Kaolin were noticed.

Tamara Prosvirina, when she was discharged from the hospital, lived at home for some time. Late in the evening on August 5, 1999, after leaving the house, she was killed by falling under the wheels of a truck.

Versions of origin:

No official examination of the Kyshtym dwarf mummy has been carried out. The mummy was unofficially examined by specialists only once. This was done at the initiative of investigator Vladimir Bendlin. After examining the dried remains with lost internal organs, the local pathologist Stanislav Samoshkin and the medical examiner Lyubov Romanova, who was present at the examination, considered them incongruous with human ones, and the head of the gynecological department Irina Ermolaeva and Igor Uskov, her husband, the head of the urology department, unequivocally identified the mummy as the result of premature human childbirth that occurred at 20-25 weeks of pregnancy, with congenital deformity syndrome. In the vicinity of Kyshtym, such cases are known because of the radioactive release that occurred in 1957 at the Mayak chemical plant.

In 2002, Vadim Chernobrov, the head of Kosmopoisk, said that he allegedly managed to get a piece of cloth in which Alyosha was wrapped for a long time. Experts of the Institute of General Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences have isolated from this piece of tissue the DNA of a person with numerous developmental disabilities.

After establishing the origin of the Atacama humanoid , the head of the laboratory Institute of General Genetics named after N. I. Vavilov RAS Sergey Kiselyov commented:

"A similar story was with the Kyshtym dwarf. A lot was invented about his origin. At our institute, samples of the tissue in which he was wrapped were examined, and the DNA of an ordinary person was isolated, only with many pathologies in development."

_____________________

This story started 2 years ago. On the outskirts of the village of Kaolin, not far from the small Ural town of Kyshtym, lived a lonely pensioner Tamara Prosvirina. The old lady had her harmless little oddities, but neither relatives nor neighbors worried about her: Tamara Vasilyevna could take care of herself.

But then one night, during a severe thunderstorm, she felt an unambiguous "telepathic order": get up and immediately go to the cemetery. Tamara Vasilyevna ran out into the rain, fortunately the old cemetery was not far from the village. Walking with a flashlight between the tombstones, she almost immediately saw the one who called her. A small creature with huge eyes was looking at her from behind a grave mound. He was no more than 30 cm tall, and Tamara Vasilyevna, obeying another mental order, brought the "humanoid" home. Soon all the neighbors and relatives were able to admire her pet, lovingly named "Alyosha".

However, the strange creature had no signs of gender. The head of "Alyosha", resembling a helmet, was composed of 4 petals - it looks like they could open, exposing a certain organ under the bones of the crown. There was a small crease in the middle of the face, almost not separating 2 huge eyes without pupils and iris. The crease smoothly turned into a small, slightly protruding nose. The creature had no ears, and instead of a mouth, a slit-like hole with two small teeth opened. The creature clearly could not take solid food. Tamara Vasilyevna had to feed him condensed milk, milk, honey and sugared water. Witnesses claim that during the life of "Alyosha" his body was milky white, like a "TV screen turned on." However, the limbs of the "Kyshtym humanoid" seemed the strangest: it seemed that his arms and legs, thanks to the special structure of the joints, could bend in any direction. Long fingers ended in claws.

Gradually, compassionate neighbors who brought condensed milk to "Alyosha" began to notice that something was wrong with his mistress. A few months later, the neighbors had to call a psychiatrist, who insisted on immediate hospitalization. Prosvirina tried to explain to the doctors of the ambulance that came for her that she had a "Alyoshenka" who needed to be fed, but they considered her words to be another portion of delirium. The house was sealed, and the hostess went to a psychiatric hospital for a long time.

Left without food, the creature died and began to slowly mummify. Who knows how long "Alyosha" would have had to lie if not for one local thief. Climbing into the abandoned house, he came across a drying corpse. The enterprising kidnapper took it with him and even dried it a little in the sun to preserve it better.

Soon, harsh people in police uniforms appeared in the house of the new owner of Alyoshenka with a search. When the corpse was found, the investigators of the Kyshtym police department faced the most important question: where did it come from? Is it really a criminal abortion or infanticide? The policemen were not confused by the ugly appearance of the mummy: local residents are well aware that Kyshtym is almost in the epicenter of a radioactive "spot" left after a terrible accident at a radioactive waste warehouse.

Local pathologist Stanislav Samoshkin resolved all the doubts of the investigators: the mysterious creature is not human! The police immediately lost interest in "Alyoshenka". The mummy was given to the first ufologist who came to Kyshtym…

When more serious researchers arrived in this town, they had to be satisfied with a videotape taken during the investigation. Almost all the experts who reviewed it confirmed Samoshkin's conclusion: "Alyoshenka" is not a person!

And where is the main character of this story - "Alyosha" himself? His body passed from hand to hand until it was completely lost. As soon as this happened, a business proposal appeared on the Internet in English: do the Americans want to buy a "humanoid corpse from Russia"? It seems that "Alyosha" will soon become an exhibit of some kind of overseas UFO museum. We will only have memories…

"UFO" No. 6(70), 1999

____________________

The mummy of a strange creature found in the city of Kyshtym, Chelyabinsk region, for some time attracted the attention of domestic media. Amateur filming of the find was even included in the documentary "UFO - Russian version", which, despite international recognition, in our country can only be seen on videotapes. However, in all publications there was an understatement, and often there was a mockery of people who, for the first time in their lives, had to face a unique, if not fantastic, case.

After learning about the unusual find and having read all sorts of publications about it, I decided to conduct my own journalistic investigation. In Kyshtym, first of all, I went to the local department of internal affairs in order to verify the authenticity of the event and personally get acquainted with its main actors.

Evgeny Mokichev

That's what the investigator of the Kyshtym Department of Internal Affairs, Captain of Justice Yevgeny Mokichev told me:

- In August - September 1996, I investigated a criminal case on charges of Vladimir Nurdinov of committing cable theft in the village of Novogorny. To conduct an investigative experiment, he offered to go to the scene of the incident. We went with Nurdinov on his motorcycle. On the way, Vladimir asked me if I had seen aliens? Naturally, I replied that I had not seen any aliens and did not believe in their existence. He promised to show me an alien when he got home.

Arriving in the village where Nurdinov lived, we carried out the required investigative actions, at the end of which Vladimir offered to look at the alien who was with him. Of course, I was skeptical about this, but he took a rag bundle out of the closet. There was something wrapped in the red cloth. He unwrapped the package and presented it to me for review.

What I saw amazed me. For a long time I could not figure out what it was, there was some confusion. In front of me lay about 25 cm in length a mummified corpse of a small humanoid creature. It is very difficult to unambiguously assess what lay in front of me, because his head was of an unusual shape - helmet-shaped, consisting of four petals that joined up into one plate and formed a sort of crest. His eye sockets were large. On the front jaw, two small, barely visible teeth could be distinguished. The forelimbs were crossed on the chest, and judging by them, they were the same length as the lower ones.

The corpse was in a dried, wrinkled state, there were many folds of skin on it. There was not a strong, but unpleasant smell coming from the remains; I find it difficult to say what exactly it smelled like.

I began to ask where and why this creature appeared here. He told me this story. In the same year, 1996, a resident of the village of Kalinovo, Prosvirina Tamara (grandmother is not quite mentally healthy), walking through the forest, found this creature and brought it to her home, and it began to live with her. She fed him, lulled him to sleep, called him Alyosha and told everyone that little Alyosha lived at her house. Subsequently, this grandmother was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital before the exacerbation of her mental illness, and this creature remained in her closed apartment.

Nurdinov, when he used to go to this grandmother and also communicated with this creature, said that it squeaked, gave sound signals in some way. He remembered that the creature was in the house, and when he found it, it was already dead. Worms were crawling on it. He got rid of the worms, washed the body with alcohol and left it to dry in the sun. After drying, the corpse acquired the appearance in which he presented it to me.

I asked Nurdinov not to tell anyone about the incident yet. And also ordered him not to put this corpse anywhere, not to hide it and not to hand it over to anyone.

When I returned to the department, I told everything to my partner - investigator Bendlin Vladimir, who engaged in an unofficial investigation of this case. We received a lot of complaints from the authorities for doing, as we were told, nonsense, although, in our opinion, official investigations should have been conducted. Maybe it really was a criminal miscarriage or abortion. There was no official investigation, we acted informally.

Subsequently, this corpse was lost. He was taken away by people who identified themselves as employees of the ufological research center in Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk region. How this story developed further, we do not know. Nevertheless, many reports and newspaper articles were written. They poured mud on us, called us almost half-crazy, but - what was, was. What we have told existed in reality. Many specialists have examined this corpse - both pathologists and gynecologists, and they all assure that it is not a human corpse or a human cub. He looked very different. The structure of the skeleton and skull did not look human at all. Even if some creature can mutate very much, it is impossible to such an extent!

That's all I know so far. Contact Vladimir Bendlin. He's been investigating and knows more...

The next morning I met with Vladimir Bendlin, an investigator of the Kyshtym Department of Internal Affairs, a major of justice. That's what I learned from him.

- Having arrived from the investigative experiment, Evgeny told me about what he saw in Nurdinov's house. I was very interested in this, and I decided to make sure of everything myself, because our colleagues literally made fun of the person. I stocked up on a video camera, a camera, took a dictaphone and the next day left for the village of Bezhelyak. There I met with Nurdinov's parents, he himself was not there. And they showed me this mummy. They just gave her a look.

When I saw the mummy, I experienced a feeling that is difficult to describe. An unpleasant sight. The smell of this creature was peculiar - not like the smell of a half-decomposed body. It was clear that the mummy was dried without any saline solutions, just in the sun. The skeleton of the creature was severely deformed, and it was difficult to determine anything. At least, there was a great resemblance to a premature human fetus. On the other hand, this creature was very different from a human. By the nature of my service, I had to see criminal miscarriages and so on, but this is completely different: the miscarriage has a very large head and a small trunk, and here there was a proportional structure, that is, the head corresponded in size to the already relatively developed body. I decided to gather more information and somehow document what happened. They did not register this event in our duty station: "Why is that? There's nothing to it."

I found out that Nurdinov lived in an apartment with a woman whose mother-in-law is mentally abnormal. She walks around cemeteries, collects all sorts of flowers from graves, even brings home photos of deceased people on metal ceramics. By the nature of her work, I knew her - it was Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina. She was registered with a psychiatrist. Several times she was taken to a psychiatric hospital, as she had relapses and breakdowns. Her son was serving his sentence in a correctional labor institution at that time.

She lived in the village of Kalinovo. This woman led a closed lifestyle. Her daughter-in-law, also Prosvirina Tamara, said that when her mother-in-law discovered this creature, it was viable and lived in her apartment for about a month. It was taking food, making some sounds. The look and expression on his face were meaningful. There were practically no secretions, only some kind of sweat-like substance, odorless, appeared on the body. She kept him swaddled like a baby and called him her baby. She said that it was "Alyosha, I wrote him down in my last name, and he will live with me." Prosvirina practically didn't show it to anyone.

That's how it lived with her for a while. The daughter-in-law herself watched her mother-in-law feed this creature. According to the daughter-in-law, it was able to eat caramel candy. If we are talking about a premature human embryo, then this is simply impossible. The daughter-in-law explained that the skin of this creature was the color of a switched-off kinescope, the body was gelatinous, the physique was of medium fatness. Tamara said that "Alyosha" was making some articulate sounds. The form of communication was as follows - he screamed, reacting to light and moving objects. He had the look of a very sick person. This creature, apparently, suffered very much.

After some time, the daughter-in-law found out that her mother-in-law was again put in a psychiatric hospital, and when she was hospitalized, the creature was left alone in the house. Naturally, it could not take food on its own. And since the daughter-in-law was a very busy person, she did not have the opportunity to visit the apartment often. And one day she and her lodger Nurdinov arrived and found that her mother-in-law was in a hospital, and the creature was already dead.

Unwrapping the diaper in which "Alyosha" was wrapped, she saw that he had already begun to decompose, pupae of some insects appeared on him, and the smell in the apartment was appropriate. True, it resembled, rather, the smell of synthetic resins, rather than a dead creature. After that, Nurdinov said that it was absolutely the corpse of an alien, it wasn't even a mutant or a miscarriage, and it needed to be embalmed and sold profitably if possible. Nurdinov took it and dried it in some garages in the sun. With that, the corpse of this creature was badly mangled.

Seeing this mummy, the daughter-in-law was surprised - the appearance of the creature changed so dramatically during shrinkage. He was strongly bent in the spine and tightened where, apparently, there were muscles. In places where some organs were located, shriveled pieces of tissue formed.

In the future, I recorded interviews of those who saw this creature during his lifetime. This daughter-in-law Prosvirina Tamara, her roommate Nagovsky Vyacheslav, some relative of the daughter-in-law and her girlfriend - a woman drinking, gave contradictory information. They all claimed that this creature looked reasonable enough, and there was pus in his eyes, as with conjunctivitis. The look itself was very meaningful.

After the primary material was collected, it became necessary to hold some consultations with specialists. This question was not within my competence, but I was curious, what is it? I believe that such information should be seriously checked, because there are a lot of misconceptions. Human deformity to a strong degree is possible here, and some mutations related to ecology, or this is really a phenomenal case of the viability of a human embryo, or a criminal miscarriage. Clearly, this story required research.

Our management said that I apparently had nothing else to do, and I had to conduct this business behind the scenes, in my free time. I asked the pathologist to examine this creature, for which I took him to our city morgue. The pathologist examined him in the presence of a paramedic and stated that at least 90% is not a person. The structure of the humanoid skeleton is very different from that of a human, especially the pelvic bone, which is designed for both vertical walking and on all fours. The forelimbs also differ greatly in their length from human ones. The hands are arranged as if they are a foot. Apparently, this creature could move in any conditions and in any way, overcome any obstacles.

The doctor said that in order to accurately draw conclusions about the nature of this creature, a DNA examination is necessary. Since it is expensive, it can only be carried out officially, in criminal cases, moreover, in laboratory conditions with the participation of a trained specialist. All options for its implementation have disappeared at once.

We changed tactics. Yevgeny and I, as well as the Zhelutdinov spouses who joined us, employees of the fire department, began to investigate further. Rais Zhelutdinov told me that 200 km away from us, in Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk region, there is a UFO society called the "UFO Star Academy-contact by the Zolotov method". Rais told me that he was an authoritative person, he showed me in the encyclopedia: Zolotov, a scientist, an academician. This organization allegedly includes Zolotov's son.

We called these people, and they responded to our invitation. Then came a call from Kamensk-Uralsky. These people called themselves experts in the field of ufology, said that their extraterrestrial communications operator would check this information and, if it was confirmed, they would come, and if not, then sorry, they are not engaged in nonsense. A couple of hours later, two cars were already parked under the windows of the Zhemaldinov apartment, where we gathered. After watching the video, the visitors said that the find is very serious and requires urgent research. They reprimanded us for the fact that the case was not brought to the state level, but lowered to amateur activity.

The head of this organization, Galina Semenkova, an intelligent, polite, intellectually advanced woman, said that two of her girls would investigate this creature and tell where it came from. We drove out to where the mummy was. They examined her, waved their hands over her and said that there was a biological component in this creature, but it was an artificial creature. It was programmed to explore the environment, living space and, of course, performed some side functions. He was sent by the space fleet under the control of the captain of the "FE" to make further contacts with some highly developed civilization.

All this, of course, sounded doubtful, but there was at least some interpretation of events. I am not an expert in such areas. I thought, since they really believed in this case, that is, they are the very romantics who can be trusted with anything, then these people will conduct the necessary examinations and, in the end, will clarify everything.

They ended up taking the mummy. They said they were taking it for research and in the near foreseeable future they would establish its origin and provide us with documentary evidence.

After a while, I called these people and asked how the research was progressing. I was told not to worry, they are studying the mummy. They offered: "Come to our seminar, but it will cost you money." Then they said that it would be important for me, they would open additional communication channels for me, and I would become almost a demigod. I replied that I did not bite on such baits, and asked to tell me the result of the study of the mummy. After a while they got through to Zhemaldinov and told him that it was an ordinary miscarriage...

Soon this story took a new turn, almost detective. Information about the strange creature reached the media, and the reaction went like ripples on water.

The media began to publish various articles, there was even a lampoon in the newspaper "Chelyabinsk Worker", where someone Kuklev placed an abusive article called "Kyshtym lunatics". This article was published just on "All Saints' Day" - "Halloween". The author simply ridiculed us.

There were also serious publications. In the end, Nikolai Vorsegov, the deputy chief editor of this newspaper, came here from Komsomolskaya Pravda. He collected the material, after which, after a while, a film crew from Japanese television - MTV Tokyo came to us. They were interested in what had happened in Kamensk-Uralsky after all. Through their channels, they reached out to people who also possess this information, collected material and established that the UFO-contact group transferred the mummy to Yekaterinburg, and there, in one of the research institutes unrelated to biology and anatomy, they secretly conducted its research in laboratory conditions, with the involvement of specialists. That's how it ended. Silence for now.

Some time later, the translator of the Japanese television group called me and said that they were going to come to us and shoot another interview with this mentally ill woman, because they would have very serious specialists in the field of psychiatry with them. Everything was well funded by them, this phenomenon was carefully studied in Japan, and they found that it was necessary to deeply and seriously investigate exactly the one who directly communicated with this creature, that is, Prosvirina Tamara Vasilyevna.

They told me the exact date of their arrival, just a week later. They were also interested in some UFO landing site in the city of Berezovsky, Sverdlovsk region, that is, they wanted to kill two birds with one stone at once. They asked me to make sure that Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina did not go anywhere at that time. But the most amazing thing is that after some half an hour after a telephone conversation with the translator, I heard on the radio (that day I was in a daily outfit) that a traffic accident had occurred in the village of Kalinovo and that a naked woman, Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina, had died under the wheels of a car. Is this a coincidence?! Japanese TV people did not come here, I limited myself to a trip to Berezovskoye.

But our story didn't end there. One woman living next door to Prosvirina - she asked not to report her data, as she serves in a state institution and does not want gossip around her name - said that before Tamara Vasilyevna was taken to a psychiatric hospital, she walked around the village and explained that she had a baby Alyoshenka, that she wanted to register him in her living space with her last name. Of course, everyone knew that Prosvirina was a mentally abnormal woman, and did not believe her. But this neighbor herself at that time found a small peasant in her apartment. Not more than one and a half meters. Her apartment was locked from the inside, she was at home, went into another room and saw him. This peasant stood silently in the middle of the room, looking rather unpleasant. He was stocky, heavily overgrown with stubble, looked about forty years old. But this subject was clearly not human.

Prosvirina's neighbor is completely sane and sane. The authenticity of her story is beyond doubt. At least I had confidence in her. So, while she was looking at the stranger, there was a knock on the door. Opening it, this woman saw her neighbor - not Prosvirina, another. She asked: "What kind of a strange look do you have, hiding a man in any way?". The neighbor knew that this woman was lonely, but without an invitation she went into the room and looked around, but there was no one there. The doors and windows were completely closed...

What's it? An invention, a figment of fantasy, or maybe a dream or something else? My interlocutor convinced me that it happened in reality. She doesn't drink and is completely, as I said, sane.

Yevgeny and I gained fame as researchers of such phenomena, and people began to tell us all sorts of strange things. I wanted to document in writing every evidence of this kind, collect sketches of what they saw, stocked up with a map of the city to make marks on it, set dates, etc. But my work did not allow me to do this, because I have practically no free time. We spend two-thirds of the day on duty, the rest on food and sleep. But of course I had some materials. There have been several serious incidents at work. My management did not approve of my research, and even at operational meetings they sometimes made fun of me.

In a fit of emotion, I destroyed some of the collected materials, but still kept some. I also have a personal observation. In 1992, a levitating object was seen twice in the area of the city of Ozersk. There is an enterprise there that was once secret, and now even American specialists work on it. I personally observed at night, in the area northeast of Kyshtym, at a very high altitude, an object of a flat shape, only it was located not horizontally, but vertically. A clear, bright white beam radiated from him...

The frank story of this brave man pleasantly surprised me. I was imbued with respect for the steadfastness with which he and his comrades endure attacks from those who live by the principle: "If I don't see it, I won't believe it," and often, even after seeing something unusual, quickly forgets about it and again denies the obvious.

But we will continue our investigation. After learning that Vladimir Bendlin had shown a strange creature to a pathologist, I went to see him at the city morgue, the same one where the mummy was examined. That's what Stanislav Samoshkin, a pathologist, told me.

- In 1996, at the request of the district police officer, I examined an unknown creature. According to the person who found him, gynecologists recognized this creature as an embryo. The examination took place in the sectional hall, in the presence of the district police officer.

The corpse was mummified, internal organs were missing, only the skeleton and the remains of the skin were presented. The creature was about 25 cm long . I was struck by the fact that the skull is tower-shaped, consists of four bones - occipital, frontal and two parietal-temporal. Moreover, there is no clear separation between the temporal and parietal bones. The peculiarities of the structure of the skull also include the fact that the brain department prevailed over the facial one.

According to all anthropological indicators, this creature should be attributed to intelligent, that is, not to the category of animals, because it is known that the same monkeys have a brain cavity of the skull smaller than the face. The pelvic bones are formed according to the type of erect. The arms and legs were twisted, it was not possible to see the fingers, because the corpse was mummified. Internal organs were missing.

I was asked to just look and say, is it the fruit of a human or an animal? As far as I remember, we did not study such skeletons in zoology. It has been suggested that, at first glance, this is a creature that is not found on Earth. They offered to conduct an examination at the Chelyabinsk Forensic Examination Bureau, where a genetic study is being conducted, but the owner of this corpse refused everything and said that he would decide what to do with it. Then the corpse was taken away, and its further fate is unknown to me.

- Is there anything you can say about the limbs? About their length and other parameters?

- The proportionality of the skeleton structure did not meet the normal standards of an average person. The arms, presumably - if they could be straightened out, because the corpse was mummified - reached somewhere to the level of the knees. I repeat, presumably. I didn't straighten my limbs, because the question was not to touch the corpse at all. Just to examine and say whether it is a human fetus or something else, because the district police officer addressed me with the question: is this creature a miscarriage, to start a criminal case or not to start. We limited ourselves to the examination, no other additional studies were done. Teeth were missing. It is almost impossible to judge what the gender was. In any case, this is the first time I have encountered the features of such a skeleton. Well, when you don't know, it's better not to climb...

I asked Samoshkin who else from the specialists examined this corpse and whether it was possible to meet with them? Vladimir took me to Romanova Lyubov Stepanovna, a laboratory assistant at the city hospital, who also examined this creature.

- In 1996, - she said, - at the beginning of August, they brought us a mummified corpse of a little man. It cannot be said that it was a child or a miscarriage. In a word - a small corpse. His skin is half-rotted in the abdomen and on the extremities.

The bones were intact. Ordinary handles, legs. The fabrics were preserved on the back and in the shoulder area. The head was in the form of a helmet, the skull consisted of four bones connected at the top. There were no auricles. Very large almond-shaped eye sockets. The remaining areas of skin on the back and shoulders were grayish-brownish - I think it's all from the sun, the fabric dries and gives this color.

This little man, as he was called - "Alyosha", still did not crawl, but walked vertically, like an ordinary person. I think so. It's a pity that he disappeared. It was a very interesting, unique case. Scientists would like to get to know him better!

- Do you think this creature could be of extraterrestrial origin, or is it some kind of miscarriage, a genetically altered living being?

- no. I have been working as a laboratory assistant in a hospital for a very long time. Of course, he does not look like a miscarriage, this "Alyosha". I didn't think at that time that it was an extraterrestrial being-unusual, that's all. And it certainly doesn't look like a miscarriage, because the structure of the bones, the head is very strange. A human miscarriage cannot have such a thing.

- Were the internal organs any different from human ones?

- There were no internal organs there. It was a mummified corpse. It was dried up, in some places barely preserved skin, bare bones.

- Do you think it was an adult or a child?

- I believe that this is still a being like a child, only not our, not a human child. Such a small creature. He must have been pretty because he had such huge eye sockets and a helmet-shaped head. He's interesting, of course.

- And what do you think, was it a sentient being or not?

- I do not even know how to answer. I can't judge that.

- And the structure of the skull?

- According to the structure of the skull, the head corresponds to the development of its arms, legs and trunk.

- Could there be a human brain there?

- Well, I probably could. If we had opened it, we would have looked at it.

- And you were not given the opportunity to open it?

- no. When he was brought to us, there was neither a decree nor a referral for an autopsy, and without them we have no right to do this. That's why we refused to open it. And yet - there was no expert. And so it would be possible to open it even for the sake of curiosity... Well, that's it. Then he was taken away and I don't even know where.

The forest where the humanoid was found

So, what do I have? Interviews with witnesses who saw this creature, kindly provided video footage taken by Vladimir during his investigation, and the only surviving photograph given to me by Eugene. To complete the picture, it remained to determine the place where this humanoid was found, and to see the house in which he was kept while he was alive.

To clarify these issues, Vladimir and I went to Kalinovo. Arriving in the village, Vladimir told me that the place where Tamara Vasilyevna found this creature is not in the cemetery, as various media wrote, but most likely in the forest, behind the local school. It was there that she took her daughter-in-law when she wanted to know about the place of his discovery. And that night, according to the old woman, there was a strong thunderstorm, and the sick woman could not go so far from home and, moreover, carry the body of this creature on her weak hands for a long time.

Having finally decided on the intended location of the discovery, we decided to conduct additional research. Having measured the radiation background in several places and knowing the radioactivity of the creature itself, we found the supposed place where it could actually lie. This place turned out to be a forest glade of a perfectly round shape with a hill formed by packed sand.

It was about the pile of sand in which she found a humanoid that the old woman spoke when they tried to find out the place of this strange find from her.

The supposed location of the humanoid's discovery. In the circle there is a mysterious "sample" of the earth.

My attention was also attracted by the fact that cylindrical bars were scattered through the forest, resembling soil samples in shape, but turned into solid glassy monoliths. I thought that such a thing with soil samples could happen only under the influence of high temperature, and there were no such enterprises nearby. Having measured the radioactive radiation of these samples, I was surprised: it was almost zero.

After exploring the forest, we drove to the house where Tamara Prosvirina lived. It was an ordinary five-story apartment building, on the second floor of which this old woman lived. After taking all these objects on video and film, I thanked Vladimir for his help and said goodbye to him.

...Leaving Kyshtym, I thanked providence for the help it sent me in the person of these brave people. They have found the strength to resist the attacks of those who are trying to defame everything related to phenomena that they cannot explain, much less prove their reality.

The investigation is ongoing.

_______________________

Kyshtym "Alyoshenka" is a creature of small stature (21 cm) found near the village of Kyshtym in the Chelyabinsk region

  Everything happened on the outskirts of the village of Kaolin. Lonely pensioner Tamara Prosvirina one night, during a severe thunderstorm, received a "telepathic order": get up and immediately go to the cemetery. Tamara Vasilyevna did not dare to disobey and ran out into the rain, the benefit of the old cemetery was nearby, Walking with a lantern between the tombstones, she almost immediately saw the one who called her. A small creature with huge eyes was looking at her from behind a grave mound...

Soon all the neighbors and relatives of Tamara Vasilyevna had a chance to see the creature that settled in her house. The hostess lovingly called him Alyosha.

The strange creature had no signs of any gender, as well as a navel. The head, resembling a pointed Old Russian helmet, was composed of four petals. There was a small crease in the middle of the face, almost not separating two huge eyes without pupils and an iris. And one more detail: these eyes did not close for centuries, but how they fell inside the head. The crease, passing between the eyes, smoothly turned into a small, slightly protruding nose, tiny holes in place of the ears. The slit-shaped slit of the mouth with two small teeth was clearly not adapted for eating solid food; Tamara Vasilyevna repeatedly told her neighbors to bring Alyosha only liquid products - condensed milk, milk, honey. Witnesses claim that during the life of Alyosha, his body was milky white. However, the strangest impression was left by the limbs of the "Kyshtym humanoid": the arms and legs were much more mobile than in humans, due to the special structure of the joints. Long fingers ended in claws.

Tamara Vasilyevna began to behave more and more strangely. Less than a few months later, the neighbors had to call psychiatrists. She was hospitalized. Prosvirina tried to tell the doctors that Alyosha lives at home with her, who needs to be fed, but they considered her words nonsense. The house was sealed.

Left without food, the creature died and began to slowly mummify. Who knows how long Alyosha would have had to lie if not for one local thief - a certain citizen Nurtdinov. Visiting an empty house, he came across a drying corpse that for some reason smelled of cologne, and ... took it with him. Nurtdinov even dried it a little in the sun to preserve it better, and then kept the mummy in the refrigerator.

After the next theft of Nurtdinov, an investigator of the Kyshtym police department, Yevgeny Mokichev, and witnesses with a search appeared in the house of the overly enterprising owner Alyoshenka. When the corpse was removed from the refrigerator, the "competent authorities" faced the most important question: what is it? An abortion victim, miscarriage, or. God forbid, someone strangled an ugly child? The creepy appearance of the mummy did not bother anyone: local residents are well aware that Kyshtym is almost in the epicenter of radioactive contamination left after the terrible accident of 1957 at the radioactive waste storage facility in Chelyabinsk-40. You never know what kind of mutant could be produced by those who spent their whole lives on a poisoned earth!

Another investigator of the Kyshtym police department, Captain Vladimir Bendlin, took up the case seriously. On August 13, 1996, in the police station of the village of Kyshtym, the now famous video recording of measuring the heat of a humanoid was made.

Local pathologist Stanislav Samoshkin resolved all the doubts of the investigators: the mysterious creature is not human. His conclusion was confirmed by the head of the women's consultation Kyshtym I. Ermolaeva, stating that "no children have such a strange body structure." The police immediately lost interest in Alyosha: the death of a humanoid from starvation does not fit into the Criminal Code. Except to use the article "animal cruelty".

Captain Bendlin turned to kufologist Galina Semenkova from Kamensk-Uralsky. She announced that, thanks to her contacts with aliens, she knows the whole truth about the deceased humanoid. If you believe her words, in the hands of the police was the corpse of a representative of a highly developed civilization from Alpha Centauri, sent to us with a chain of establishing contact (!). Anyway, Semenkova took the mummy and told everyone to keep quiet in order to avoid anger from Alpha Centauri.

When more serious researchers arrived in Kyshtym, they had to be satisfied with copies of the same videotape.

And where is Alyosha himself? From Semenkova, he got to other owners, the third, the fourth, and finally finally got lost. The last owners, found by the journalist of the Ural Worker Yuri Konshin, said that the mummy was taken from them by uncles from the FSB. Of course, it was just an excuse. In addition, shortly after the traces of the mysterious mummy were finally lost, a business proposal appeared on the Internet in English: do gentlemen from abroad want to buy a "humanoid corpse from Russia"?

In Moscow, the sensational film was viewed by experts who confirmed the conclusion of pathologist Samoshkin from Kyshtym: this is not a person! All of them said that DNA analysis could finally confirm or refute their verdict, but for this it is necessary to find Alyosha.

Will we not give Alyosha to the Japanese?..

And here is the latest information about the Ural Alyoshenka. In whose hands this unique "exhibit" is kept in the strictest secrecy, however, it became known that at the end of August a deal is planned between the current "owner" of the mummy and the Japanese TV company Asahi-TV, which intends to pay 200 thousand dollars for it, and at the same time wipe the nose of a rival company, another Japanese TV company NTV. It is only known that an elderly woman healer gave Alyosha to a businessman. She said that the storage of the mummy began to cause a lot of trouble: after communicating with the withered humanoid, people got sick and died.

Concerned about this fact, the employees of the Customs Committee of the Russian Federation said that the mummy would not be released abroad legally, without the permission of the relevant authorities.

Finally, Alyosha was interested. Except it looks like it's too late.

A relative from Puerto Rico

Quite by chance, flipping through the magazine "Flying Saucer Review" for the past year, I came across an incredible photo! It depicted the corpse of a small creature with a head divided into four petals and huge lifeless eyes. Even his thin hands with four fingers were folded crosswise, like the mummy of the "Kyshtym humanoid". However, it wasn't Alyosha who was depicted in the picture at all...

The second creature found its death almost twenty years ago near the town of Sapinas, on the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico.

One day, a guy named Chinese wandered through the hills at the foot of the mountains, looking for all sorts of Indian antiquities. Suddenly he saw several small creatures about thirty centimeters tall. One of them tried to grab the Chinese by the pant leg, and clearly not with bad intentions. Contact failed: the Earthman grabbed a stick and dealt him a crushing blow! The others disappeared into the undergrowth. The unwitting killer realized that he had something very rare and even expensive in his hands. Having found a glass container with a tight lid, he put the body there, bleeding colorless blood, and filled it with alcohol. However, the decomposition did not stop, and he had to go to a friend - Professor Calixto Perez, who placed the corpse in formalin.

The Chinese rejoiced early, calculating the possible profit. From that day on, life turned into a nightmare for him. At night, he and his sister sometimes woke up from strange noises, like someone sneaking, peeping through the windows and trying to get inside. Finally they went to the police.

Police officer Osvaldo Santiago arrived at the alarm signal, who confiscated a container with a strange creature and brought to show an unusual find to his wife. With her light hand, or rather her tongue, the whole neighborhood soon knew about the find. Local businessman Raffaele Baerga, intrigued by the story, asked her to bring a container with a small creature, sent several pictures in the presence of witnesses and called television, but the journalists did not have time to arrive: a policeman appeared and took the container with the body (in the interests of the investigation). Osvaldo Santiago's assistant, Sergeant Benjamin Morales, also saw the creature. He said that the chief had informed the military about the contents of the container, but he did not know exactly how. The sergeant then gave his partner advice: get rid of this creature until the military took over the depot, but then Professor Perez came to the police station - the same one who helped the guy keep the corpse in formalin, said he had bought it from a Chinese, and demanded to immediately return his property. Santiago was only too glad to get rid of the container.

The whole story was unearthed a few years later by ufologist Jorge Martin. The police officer was no longer alive by that time, he died at the hands of criminals, but he found Professor Perez.

"Yes, I kept a container with a little man at home for a while," he told the ufologist. - His skin was rough, almost the same color as ours, but with a faint light greenish tinge. I believe that this creature is of alien origin. His skull and head were too big in relation to his body, which was small and skinny, and his eyes were too big. As for the nose... he wasn't there."

Professor Perez was going to write a book about it, but fate decreed otherwise. Neighbors began to threaten him after learning that he was holding the corpse of an "alien". Subsequently, the professor discovered that the container with the body and all the photos had disappeared from the cache. "Either someone from friends got in there, or the authorities were able to find the hiding place," the professor finished his story.

They say that, having figured out what was what, American special services entered the depot. Traces of their work are felt by researchers to this day. The story, as it should be in such cases, has overgrown with a mass of all sorts of mutually exclusive details. The truth in them can only be considered that the little creature is not a figment of someone's imagination and that the US government has shown so much interest in it for a reason.

"Gazeta Dona", 21.08.2002, Rostov-on-Don

__________________

Bendlin remembers that ill-fated day in great detail. He himself called ufologists to give them "Alyoshenka". I found on the Internet the phone number of the public organization closest to Kyshtym, which dealt with UFO problems. Ufologists from Kamensk-Uralsky arrived as a whole delegation. They presented documents: they say, we are not some kind of charlatans, everything is solid with us, ufology is the same science.

When they saw "Alyosha", they groaned. They took out dosimeters, began to measure the radiation background.

Then a lady who called herself a psychic got involved. She waved her hands over the "Alyoshenka" and issued a conclusion: this is a representative of the Alpha Centauri civilization, a biorobot abandoned for the purpose of energy contact.

Vladimir Bendlin listened to all this with half an ear:

- To be honest, I wasn't up to them then. There was a parking lot at work, our investigators are loaded for twelve hours a day.

And I gave "Alyosha" on my word of honor. Ufologists promised, after studying, to return the mummy.

- I didn't even draw up an elementary act! Bendlin reproaches himself. - I only recorded our conversation on a dictaphone. I took their leader Galina Semenkova's word for it. Of course, at that moment "Alyosha" was not officially listed in the evidence and seemed to be nobody's. Who knew that ufologists would lose it. At least that's what they told me on the phone.

Bendlin paused. I was thinking about something. Then, as if having made up his mind, he gave out:

- Two FSB officers suddenly came to me. They took detailed explanations about "Alyosha". They were interested in everything: videos, photographs, eyewitness accounts.

After that visit, I finally realized that I was right about this mummy: it is extremely important for science and the state! The Federal Security Service does not deal with trifles. I hope that now "Alyosha" is listed in their department.

Japanese

They have already visited Kyshtym twice. The first "landing party" landed in the Urals from the MTU company. The Japanese interviewed everyone they could. The invited specialists found the place where "Alyoshenka" was found. We measured radioactivity, magnetic field and were amazed: the anomalies are the same as in the UFO landing zones!

Tamara Prosvirina Jr. was put into a hypnotic trance with her consent. The fact that she again told about "Alyosha", even in detail coincided with what she had said before. Experts came to the conclusion that Prosvirina did not compose anything on her own, which means that her observations are trustworthy and correspond to the truth.

But under hypnosis, one fact came to light, which at first no one could explain. Tamara suddenly described the facade of one of the defense research institutes in Yekaterinburg. And she said that "Alyosha" is there now. And even called the name of the scientist who is engaged in it - Zavyalov.

The Japanese found this building according to her description. There really was a closed research institute. And a certain Zavyalov really works there. But he categorically refused to talk to the Japanese.

"I don't understand where this name came from in my brain," Tamara says. - I know for sure that I have not been to any research institute. Maybe from dreams. They have become strange after "Alyosha". It's like someone is showing colored pictures.

I see everything-everything in the smallest detail. And I dream about him too. Alive.

Dreams

Tamara Prosvirina Jr. does not immediately respond to our request to tell about her dreams:

- I'm afraid you won't believe it. It's like in fairy tales.

- You are not afraid. All the details are very important to us.

- I saw myself as if from the outside. So that she could touch herself on the shoulder. Everything is exactly - the hairstyle, the face. Even the barley that popped up under the eye. The world around us is ours, but so bright, as if it had been washed. Pine trees, grass, flowers, sky. And then I see "Alyosha". Om seems to float through the air. Alive - you can see how the tummy is throbbing. I look at him and I can't take my eyes off him. And for some reason I clearly know what he wants - for me to fly with him. I say I can't, it won't work. And he calls, holds out his pen. Then I seemed to disappear into the fog. And in the morning I woke up and I feel an unusual lightness in my body. It's like I'm not over forty, but sixteen. The most amazing thing I saw when I looked in the mirror: the barley under the eye disappeared completely, as if it had never been!.. I noticed another oddity later: I began to guess the thoughts of Galina Artemyevna's mother. She is not my native, adopted. And she also saw "Alyosha" during her lifetime. My mother won't bark a question out loud to me yet, but I'm already starting to answer. It's all strange...

False witnesses

This summer in Kyshtym, the luck was tortured by TV crews from the Japanese Asahi, one of the leading TV companies in the world. Producer Deguti Masao has set a $200,000 prize for "Alyosha". The Japanese paid a hundred dollars for an interview. A natural "gold rush" has begun in the Urals. Witnesses who claimed to have seen "Alyosha" signed up in the queue. But no one seems to have brought reliable data. It was said that he was allegedly abducted from ufologists by "cosmic ray" on the way from Kyshtym to Kamensk-Uralsky, that a monument was allegedly erected on the highway "Alyoshenka".

Then there was a rumor that the mummy was seen in the collection of the "new Russian" in Kamensk-Uralsk, detained on some criminal case. The acting head of the city Department of Internal Affairs of this city, Alexander Ustinov, at our request, personally checked this version. Interviewed all subordinates. Then he informed us:

- "Alyoshenka" has not been held in any criminal case.

Deguchi Masao made the film after all - it premiered in Japan on August 14. He never solved the riddle of "Alyosha". Leaving, he said that he was sure that "Alyosha" was an alien being. And that his search has not stopped. He complained that he could not understand why the "Russian police" released a sensational find from his hands...

Ufologist

To Galina Semenkova, to whom investigator Bendlin handed over "Alyoshenka", Japanese TV crews never got there. We found her in Kamensk-Uralsky with great difficulty. The phone in the apartment was disconnected, and she herself came home only at midnight. Galina Ivanovna, having learned about the topic of conversation, immediately cut off:

- I can't say anything about Alyosha. He is being investigated.

- Who?

- Competent authorities.

- The FSB? Semenkova nodded.

- So you didn't lose it?

- no...

- And the result of the research?

- I was told that it will be made public when the time comes.

- At least in a nutshell - what is he like?

- "Alyosha" has turned all ideas about the world upside down...

Physiology

We decided to ask in detail those who had direct contact with the alien.

Galina Artemyevna Alferova told:

- I've been to Tamara's apartment often. She was sick in the head.

Therefore, I visited her, no matter what happened. Her son, my daughter's husband, is in prison. And Tamara then worked as a cook on a shift basis. So I visited. I'll bring some groceries and help you clean up. Although she was crazy, she was not malicious. And she took care of herself. Well, I came, and in the next room, it seems like a kitten is squeaking. The matchmaker had a two-room apartment, now we have sold it. I'm asking: "What are you, Tamara, you got a kitten?" And she says, "No, baby." I was like, "What kind of baby?" And she says: "Alyosha. I found it in the forest." - "Well, show me!" Let's go into the next room. I look: there is something lying across her bed, wrapped in a colorful rag. She unfolded it, shows me. So weird! At first I thought it was an obsession, what kind. Crossed herself - does not disappear! Then I got bolder, came closer. And when he saw me, he whistled. Well, it's like a gopher in a field, but quietly. I think he was trying to say something like that.

- Maybe it's a premature baby after all?

- Yes, no. I've seen so many things in my life, and premature babies too. "Alyosha" does not look like a baby at all. The head is not a pumpkin, but like a helmet: I am pointed without hair. And the fontanelles are not visible on it. The fingers are long, thin and sharp as claws. Five on each arm and leg. The trunk was initially plump and swayed like a jelly. It was he who shrank after death.

- Did he have any genitals?

- He doesn't have any genitals.

"Are you sure?"

- Yes, I examined it from all sides. Even touched between the legs. A flat place, like a doll, what. And there is no umbilical cord either.

- Did "Alyosha" move by himself?

"Not with me. He only raised his legs up. Straightened, sort of did gymnastics.

- Did you see how he was fed?

- The matchmaker gave him curd cheese. He sucked it and swallowed it. He had no lower jaw, and instead of it - some kind of skin. And he didn't drink from a bottle - there was a bowl of water on the bed, Tamara gave him a drink with a spoon. And he also had a long tongue and was bright red, with a spatula.

- How long did the creature live?

- Let's do the math. I went to the matchmaker five times, my granddaughter Sasha - he's in the army now - ran in a couple of times. Neighbor Nina Glazyrina looked in on her and even spent the night. And everyone saw him alive. For three weeks this monster lived with a matchmaker. Maybe more.

- Have you tried to inform the authorities about the discovery?

- Then there was no thought that it was important. If she had found a baby in the forest, then, of course, they would have called the police. And this is so - he will not understand what. The animal is incomprehensible. It's already now everyone is saying that an alien. And then my daughter and grandson and I decided: let him live instead of a cat...

- What struck you most about him?

- There were no bowel movements from him. Only sweat on the body, like perspiration. His matchmakers wiped everything with a rag.

- And this rag is not left?

- Oh, no. I think I gave it all away. - - To whom? - - To the investigator.

- Maybe there's something else left? Sheets, for example?

- Maybe.

- Can you search?

- I can. All the linen that was in the room smelled of this "Alyosha". He smelled sweet, like cologne...

Smell

There is one characteristic feature that is noted by everyone who has seen "Alyosha" alive and dead. It's a smell. It is described in different ways. Women say that during life the creature smelled like perfume. After death, the fragrance did not disappear, even became sharper.

- The smell from "Alyosha" was some kind of synthetic, - says Vladimir Bendlin.

- Cadaverous?

- no. There was no smell of a dead man. In twenty years of service in the police, I have sniffed the undead to my heart's content in any condition.

And here is a sweet smell, viscous. And as soon as you breathe in, there's a lump in your chest. And the feeling as if it burned, as if they had been whipped with nettles. Very persistent smell. In the rooms where the "Alyosha" was examined, he stood for months. My colleague Evgeny Mokichev sniffed so much then that he lost sleep... That smell is still in my nostrils. You can't confuse him with anything. It seemed that it was not in the nose, it immediately got into the brain.

- Have you examined the bed in Prosvirina's apartment, on which "Alyoshenka" was lying?

- Of course. The rags, fortunately, were intact. In criminology, there are such concepts as "corpse bed" and "corpse fauna". So, on the colored cotton fabric that Tamara Prosvirina laid under this creature, a yellow spot was found in the place where the head was lying. The nature of this allocation is unclear. Pupae of some insects were found in the fabric. I've never seen anything like this before...

- Where are these rags and dolls?

- I gave everything to ufologists. Even the package in which he was lying in my refrigerator.

We gave Bendlin the proposal of biologists from Pushchina. He replied:

- It's very interesting. The particles can be not only on the sheets, but also on the table on which it was examined and removed. And in the garage where Nurtdinov hid the mummy. Maybe Nurtdinov has something left. In short, you can search. And since I'm retired now, I think I can do it.

"Life" will follow the further development of events.

- Do you want to interview my husband for money or just for free? There was a hint of disappointment in the phone. – But the Japanese paid us $ 100, - summed up the conversation of the wife of the pathologist, who 6 years ago examined a strange creature, nicknamed Alyosha.

He was found in the city of Kyshtym, Chelyabinsk region. Found and forgotten. Now they remembered, because the Japanese decided to make a documentary about Alyosha and find him by all means.

- Actually, I can answer your questions on the phone, for free, - Stanislav Samoshkin, the pathologist, unexpectedly told us. – After examining him, I stated with all responsibility that this is not a child, not a human child.

An incomprehensible creature was found by an elderly mentally ill woman Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina. The most popular version of Alyosha's appearance in local circles says that at night she heard a voice in a half-sleep-half-doze. He urged her to get out of bed and go to the cemetery. There she found him: at one of the graves she was lying and squeaking "neither a mouse nor a frog, but an unknown animal."

Tamara's grandmother's daughter-in-law, also Tamara Prosvirina, once visited her mother-in-law and saw this creature.

"I saw a little man lying across the bed," she recalls. - Small in stature, the head is greenish-brown in color, like the screen of an old TV. It resembled an onion consisting of five petals. And if you looked at his face, then growths protruded from the temples to the top of his head, as if the edges of a tied kerchief. The skin on the head is not like people's, but some kind of hard, elastic, like on your leather trousers. The body, on the contrary, is jelly-like, but warm and somehow moist. The legs and arms are short, the fingers have short long claws. His mouth and tongue are bright red, and the tongue itself is in the shape of a spatula: the tip is round and wide, and narrowed to the larynx, like the handle of a shovel. I saw 2 teeth on the lower jaw, like 2 small fangs. The eyes are dark gray. When he looked at me, his narrow and long pupils alternately narrowed and widened, like a cat's. In my opinion, there were no centuries either. The nose is very small and flat, stretched to the ears. True, they were not ears at all, but only two tiny cavities. There was no navel or genitals yet."

One day the doctors came for my grandmother and took her to the hospital. She was still grieving and repeating: "I have a baby there!". No one believed her. Doctors informed Grandmother Tamara about Alyosha's death. After a while, she also died. It is unknown what caused her strange death. They say she, completely naked, wearing only socks, got under the wheels of a truck… Did the voice call her again?

The first corpse of Alyosha was discovered by Tamara Vasilyevna's son. He showed the partially mummified body to his friend Vladimir Daibov. Alyosha was lying on the bed, covered all over with some moths. With the permission of the owner, he took the little body and threw it to dry in the sun. Then Vladimir decided to show the mummy to a familiar policeman. It was He who gave the "case" a go.

- I contacted ufologists from Yekaterinburg, - says the former policeman Bendlin. – They flew to me a few hours after the call and took the mummy. Now they claim that when they were taking Alyosha, a UFO hovered over their car, which took him away. This, of course, is nonsense.

According to rumors, the mummy passed through several more hands: she visited a fortune-teller grandmother, a "new Russian" from Yekaterinburg, a specialist from one of the closed research institutes. Now Vladimir Daibov regrets that he gave the mummy, the Japanese are already offering 200 thousand dollars for it!

Surgeon, Head of the Department of Urology of the Central city hospital Kyshtym Igor Uskov and Irina Ermolaeva, head.women's consultation, also saw and examined the mummy.

- In this case, it was an ordinary mummified miscarriage measuring 17-20 cm, which corresponds to a pregnancy period of 20-25 weeks, - Irina Ermolaeva believes. – It could have been viable, but only for a few hours, not 2 weeks, as some eyewitnesses claim.

- Any protein individual after death either rots or mummifies, - the surgeon Igor Uskov explains to me. – As for the completely unusual shape of Alyosha's skull, an explanation can be found for this. The head of a newborn human consists of semi-cartilages, which are connected by soft membranes so that it can safely pass through the birth canal. These bones are mobile. Mummification is the dehydration of a corpse. As soon as it comes, everything is reduced in volume, so the fontanelles could have developed like this. While I had it, I, don't be a fool, counted the number of bones. Just like a human, he has 12 ribs attached to his chest. The structure of the shoulder girdle and the bones of the cyst correspond to the human one. There are no ears, so they, sorry, do not have a bone structure. A normal child's skeleton.

Local residents unanimously claim that Alyosha is the child of an inhabitant of a local dump, simply a homeless woman. Among other things, it would be useful to recall the proximity of Kyshtym to the world–famous nuclear facility - the Mayak combine. The Techa River flowing in this area is a source of colossal radioactive contamination. People living on its shores have been suffering from oncological diseases for many years, and in the museum of the local medical academy there are two such mutant Alyosha in each flask.

_______________

The mystery of the Kyshtym alien is almost solved, but there is no official document yet

I came to the city of Kyshtym in the Chelyabinsk region on my personal publishing business. And, of course, he could not pass by Alyosha...

I have three tasks. First, to report a sensation. Secondly, in connection with it, to tell the story of the Kyshtym alien Alyoshenka as accurately as possible, clearing it of later layers. And thirdly, to restore journalistic justice.

The title of the essay is "Alyosha pretty, who are you?" - I didn't come up with it. This was the name of Olga Rudakova's correspondence, published on September 25, 1996 in the city newspaper "Kyshtym Worker". This is where the alien's earthly glory began. And nobody knows about Olga Rudakova. The editors of the central publications, as a rule, take materials from local newspapers and distribute them around the world already on their own behalf. But at least it is necessary to refer to the original source, colleagues! (The only exception in this particular case is the essay by Nikolai Varsegov in Komsomolskaya Pravda, 1997) And therefore I emphasize that I base my notes on the story of Olga Rudakova. Attracting, of course, some other sources.

I must say right away that the adoptive mother of the Kyshtym alien Alyoshenka - Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina - was a mentally ill old woman. She was treated, went out, and went back to a mental hospital. At one of these moments, Alyosha's corpse was found in her house...

In August 1996, the investigator of the Kyshtym GOVD E. Mokichev conducted a case of theft of non-ferrous metals. One of the witnesses was V. Nurtdinov, who told the investigator that he kept an incomprehensible mummy, it looks like some kind of alien. Mokichev did not pay much attention, but told his partner, Major Vladimir Bendlin, about it. He became interested, went to Nurtdinov and really found the mummy. The first thought was: "This is a miscarriage!" The length of the mummy is slightly more than 20 centimeters, limbs, spine, shoulder blades, ribs.

- like an undeveloped baby. But after a careful examination, Bendlin did not find any auricles, umbilical cords, or genitals on the body. He was particularly struck by the mummy's head. The skull is helmet-shaped, and from the parietal part of the head, a keel-shaped protrusion ran through the entire front part in the center. There is no lower jaw at all.

It turned out that Nurtdinov accidentally got into the house of Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina, a resident of the village of Kaolin near Kyshtym. Just at that moment she was in a mental hospital. In an empty house Nurtdinov saw this creature. Dead... Realizing that the case here was unusual, Nurtdinov took the corpse, took it to his garage, where he distilled it and dried it, making a mummy...

Bendlin reported to the management, offered to register the incident, take an explanation from Nurtdinov, but the bosses considered him a "frivolous romantic" (these are Bendlin's words) and advised him to do business, not nonsense...

- That's what amazes the Japanese the most! Olga Rudakova exclaims.

- Japanese TV company "Nippon Television" came to us in 1998, and recently, in 2002, the TV company "Asahi". Her producer Deguchi Macao could not understand in any way: why did the Russian police let the mysterious creature out of their hands? He says: in Japan, they would have abandoned all the work and were engaged only in Alyosha! And we were bullied by Volodya Bendlin: here, they say, what nonsense the man found. And indeed, now it turns out that we are like the city of Glupov! They didn't see under their noses what intrigued the whole world right now! - Olga concludes.

Then Bendlin decided to conduct the investigation himself, armed with a camera and a video camera. First of all, I filmed the mummy (these shots are now known all over the world), and then showed it to doctors. Gynecologist I. Ermolaeva said that this is a common miscarriage. Or an abortion victim. But pathologist S. Samoshkin had a different opinion: "This is not a man! And a very strange creature for a mutant. The head is assembled like a water lily, consisting of only four bone plates. And the human skull consists of six plates, no matter how mutant or ugly he is. The bones are not cartilaginous, as they should be in a human baby, but quite normal, tubular. Which is simply impossible for a human baby. On the spiral spine I found the remains of a downy hair. Perhaps it is an animal, but we did not study this at school and institute. It is necessary to apply to the forensic medical examination and do a DNA analysis!"

At that moment, it was not worth anything for the police to order a forensic medical examination quite officially. And to register the mummy as physical evidence. Put it in the safe! And now the world would not be struggling in search of Alyosha's mummy. But Bendlin was then dismissed. He requisitioned the mummy by himself and put it in his home refrigerator, having also received a scandal from his wife. It can be understood: what kind of woman will tolerate the corpse of an alien next to the products...

Then Bendlin found Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina's daughter-in-law in Kyshtym.Her name is also Tamara, and the surname is the same - Prosvirina. Tamara Nikolaevna. Therefore, in order to avoid confusion, we will call her in the future simply daughter-in-law. She told Bendlin that on June 6, 1996, she came to her mother-in-law, brought groceries, and she, very pleased, said to her: "I have a baby there, Alyosha is pretty... I'm going to feed him now." And she led her to the crib, on which a tiny freak was lying swaddled. To the frightened question of who it was, the mother-in-law repeated: "This is my baby, Alyosha. He's pretty. I'm going to feed him now." And immediately fed the creature a caramel, and then unwrapped him and began to wipe some liquid secretions between his legs, similar to water. The daughter-in-law managed to notice that Alyosha did not have a sexual organ, and then she felt sick...

And she told Olga Rudakova like this:

- I saw a tiny freak. Onion head. Instead of lips, there is a hole. There is no chin. He stared unblinkingly, whistled softly or moaned. Or maybe he was breathing like that. I had cottage cheese with me, which he ate.

When asked by her daughter-in-law where this creature came from, Tamara Vasilyevna replied that she had found Alyosha... in the cemetery. Soon Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina was taken to a psychiatric hospital. The paramedic Galitskova, who came to pick her up, later recalled: "Something like a swaddled cat was lying in her bed..." Alyosha was left alone in the house and soon died. It was then that Nurtdinov discovered him...

Bendlin went to a psychiatric hospital, met with Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina. Tamara Vasilyevna had her hair cut short and looked exhausted. According to her, she went to the cemetery to the grave of a person close to her. There, on the grave, she allegedly saw the child, almost buried head down. After digging it out, I brought it home. Having warmed up, the child allegedly asked to eat, drank water with sugar, ate a caramel. And in general, he ate everything she gave him. Upon learning that Alyosha died, Tamara Vasilyevna began to cry...

Meanwhile, the rumor about Alyosha flew around Kyshtym. And someone from friends advised Vladimir Bendlin to contact ufologists in the city of Kamensk-Uralsky, gave a newspaper clipping with the phone number of the association "Star Academy". It read: "UFO contact by the Zolotov method." Just a few hours later, strangers arrived from Kamensk-Uralsky to Kyshtym in two cars. The head of the group, a spectacular lady, introduced herself as Galina Semenkova. She began to bombard Bendlin with science-like terms, assuring him that their organization was a serious scientific institution. Then the ufologists took Alyosha's mummy and left. And since then Alyosha has disappeared. And he disappeared together with this woman - Galina Semenkova. When the information about the Kyshtym alien got on the tapes of international agencies, everyone rushed to look for Semenkova, they watched around the clock near her house. But she seemed to have sunk through the ground. For eight years now (!) Semenkova's husband answers all calls that his wife is on a business trip...

True, there was a rumor that Galina Semenkova spoke at a press conference in Japan with a story about her contacts with the constellation Alpha Centauri, but this is a rumor. There is no confirmation for him.

Vladimir Bendlin filmed all stages of his investigation with a video camera. I filmed two incomplete cassettes. When the news of the Kyshtym alien went around the world, the first TV people from Japan, from the Nippon Television company, descended on Kyshtym. It was they who made the film "On the trail of the alien Alyoshenka", which triumphantly passed through the world and made Alyoshenka and the city of Kyshtym a world celebrity. And brought the Japanese, presumably, a lot of money. The world pays a lot for such sensational shots. But after all, the primary source, the basis of the film is the shooting of Vladimir Bendlin! And he gave them his tape for free!

And when the film crew of the Asahi TV company arrived in Kyshtym in 2002, Olga Rudakova said: "Bendlin - you're not Bender!" Because as a result of negotiations, Bendlin sold Asahi a copy of his tape for $200. Bendlin's wife bought the hallway furniture with this money and wrote on the closet: "Made in Japan"...

In general, Bendlin was deceived. At first, the ufologist Semenkova from Kamensk-Uralsky, and then... here I can't write: "Japanese TV people", because I can't believe that they were so petty and just mean in such a big deal. The negotiations with Bendlin were conducted by Russian people accompanying the Japanese. And they laughed among themselves: "It's good that we didn't have to mash this guy up big, we did it anyway..."

- Understand! - Olga Rudakova told me with fervor. - Bendlin reminds me of Don Quixote. The same thin, tall. And most importantly - enthusiastic, honest, not able to pronounce a benefit to himself, simply naive! Such people are always fooled by the capital's hustlers. After all, if it wasn't for Bendlin, nothing would have happened. Without filming Alyosha, all the stories of witnesses are worth little! Moscow intermediaries enriched themselves on Bendlin's materials, immediately established contact with the Japanese, and they wiped Bendlin from his legitimate remuneration. Since then , we have been treated as Moscow ... dismissive. They consider us provincials to be suckers, and we simply neglect them. So write it.

Now Bendlin is a retired major, retired at the age of forty, works in the security of one of the factories.

Inaccuracies in the press about Alyosha are a dime a dozen. They write from a lantern, they don't even call Kyshtym, they don't specify. For example, Komsomolskaya Pravda once announced that Alyosha had been discovered... "on Perm land". And between Kyshtym and the "Perm land" there is still the Sverdlovsk region a little bit. By the way, from Komsomolskaya Pravda there was also a wave of recent reports about the monument to Alyoshenka, which the Japanese are going to install either at the cemetery in Kyshtym, or at the 78th kilometer of the highway, where the alleged alien ship allegedly stole Alyoshenka's mummy from the car of Kamensk-Ural ufologists... Kyshtym journalists looked at it, looked at it, and wrote that "the construction of the monument has already begun with the money collected by the Japanese public," and printed it in the April 1 issue! And what do you think? The news was picked up without paying any attention to the date...

Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina died on August 5, 1999. I jumped out into the street at night without shoes, in only socks, and got under the wheels of a speeding truck. An hour before, an unknown male voice called her daughter-in-law on the phone and asked about her mother-in-law's health. She lived in a quiet village, on a quiet street, where it is difficult to meet a truck at night.

In short, the circumstances of her death are strange. To this we must add the mysterious illness of two Kamensk-Ural journalists who actively tried to find the disappeared Galina Semenkova, almost ambushed her at her house. One of the first participants in the investigation into Alyosha's case also fell ill. He sleeps no more than 2-3 hours a day. In general, some incomprehensible, dark personalities and organizations have been swirling around Alyosha's search for a long time: sects, institutes, academies of the occult direction, practicing experiments with the psyche of people, deep penetration into the subconscious, the removal of a superman with special abilities and similar horror.

The film crew of the Asahi TV company came to Russia with the task of finding Alyosha's mummy. Regardless of the costs. Producer Deguchi Macao once mentioned that he was ready to pay 200 thousand dollars for the mummy right now, without asking permission from the Tokyo authorities, But it would be ridiculous to think that the Japanese went at random. Obviously, they had leads. The Russian people accompanying them talked about a man who allegedly now has a mummy, and he received it from his agent, the same Kamensk-Ural ufologist Semenkova. And for some reason, the Russian assistants of the Japanese spoke about this person or organization in a cautious whisper.

Either these mysterious sects and institutions operate on their own, or under the roof of the special services. Or maybe it's the secret services hiding under their sign. Most likely, everything is intertwined and mixed up here. Recently, a version has been thrown into the information field that Alyosha is the result of unsuccessful experiments on a person. It's no secret that scientific experiments with people on the verge of quackery or fiction are not inventions from American militants, but the reality of secret laboratories. It is also no secret that any information about aliens and anomalous phenomena in general is monitored and tracked by the special services of major countries. It is possible that G. Semenkova did not act by herself, and she disappeared with Alyosha's mummy, too, not by herself. It is quite possible that these very people are sitting somewhere right now and laughing at everyone.

However, and nevertheless Alyosha did not disappear.

A Cosmopoisk expedition headed by Vadim Chernobrov arrived in Kyshtym. Kosmopoisk is a well-known public scientific association in the country and the world that studies anomalous phenomena.

Vadim Chernobrov searched in Kyshtym and found Alyosha's genetic material. Most likely, the diapers in which he was wrapped ("Kyshtym shroud!"). The confidence in the material is one hundred percent. And for genetic analysis, a piece of skin or hair is enough. The interest in Alyosha in scientific circles is such that a genetic examination will be done for free.

And now - the promised sensation. Alyosha is really not a person. In February, Vadim Chernobrov called Kyshtym and told Olga Rudakova that the genetic examination was completed, nothing human was found in the submitted materials. That is, Alyosha is an alien. But the experts, who initially took up the study for free, now, sensing what it smells like, demanded a lot of money for an official conclusion.

According to other information, from other sources, Chernobrov now says that a second, more thorough examination is required.

But one does not refute the other. But only complements. Genetic examination with absolute accuracy is an expensive, complex and long-term enterprise. To establish who is who, based on this material, it is necessary to analyze, go through the entire genetic chain.

I didn't call Chernobrov because I wanted to distance myself from him as much as possible in order to avoid misunderstandings, since it comes to money. If you have to pay money for a re-examination for an official conclusion, then why not chip in to rich people reading these lines?! Here's your phone number: 111-89-58. And email address: kosmopoisk@kosmopoisk.org - "Kosmopoisk". And also the email address of Chernobrov - chernobrov@ kosmopoisk.org .

Get in touch, report donations through the press, and let Chernobrov report publicly: he will present the first expert opinion, make an order for repeated genetic analysis. And thus we will determine whether Alyosha is an Earthman or not. Or is it a myth created by chance and coincidence. Or a big bluff. Or he really is an Alien.

Kyshtym - Moscow, February-March 2004  

Sergey BAYMUKHAMETOV

"Journalist", 17.05.2004, Moscow

_______________

After the publication of "AIF" about the mysterious circles arising in wheat and other fields, readers began to contact the editorial office. They offer many hypotheses explaining the phenomenon of circles. In the coming year we will return to this fascinating topic. But crop circles are not the only thing that the social and scientific association "Kosmopoisk" is investigating. We continue the conversation with his coordinator Vadim CHERNOBROV.

- Which expeditions of recent years are particularly memorable?

- The search for the Vitim body that fell in the taiga near Irkutsk.

From 1999 to 2003, Kosmopoisk investigated underground explosions of unknown origin in the north of the Kursk region.

In the Kirov region, following a tip from old-timers, we managed to find two "bigfoot lairs". After a number of consultations with rangers and specialists, it was decided not to ruin the dwelling: we hope that the owner will make himself felt sooner or later, and we will happen to "get acquainted" with him. Everyone agrees that the "lair" does not look like either a bear's or someone else's.

Finally, we conducted 4 expeditions to search for traces of the Kyshtym dwarf - a creature that really existed in the Chelyabinsk region with a height of about 25 cm with a very unusual appearance.

- Are you talking about Alyosha? But in this story, everything seems to be clear. We have written about it more than once. The mysterious humanoid was found on the street and sheltered at home by an elderly woman living near Kyshtym. Then she was taken to a mental hospital, and he died and mummified. After passing through several hands, the mummy ended up in Yekaterinburg with some new Russian. It's gathering dust on the shelf, and besides, her arm is torn off. The owner does not want to show Alyosha to anyone – private property. The matter has reached a dead end. Do you have any new information?

- Our expeditions to Kyshtym were not in vain. We analyzed the videos of the police examination of the dead dwarf (I prefer to call him a dwarf, not a humanoid), interviewed dozens of eyewitnesses, found traces of his stay, and most importantly - found some genetic material.

- Is it really a severed arm?!

- Unfortunately, our genetic material is more modest. This is the rag on which the dwarf was lying at the time of his death. At the moment when he was crushed…

- This is something new. Until now, it was believed that Alyosha died of natural causes, from starvation.

- That's the point. that the chemical analysis of the substance contained on the rag led us to a different conclusion. Eyewitnesses said that on the body of the dwarf, while he was alive, secretions appeared. This moist perspiration exuded a sweet smell, and Tamara Prosvirina (that was the name of the woman who found the creature) periodically wiped his body. There are traces of these secretions on the rag that came into our possession. But there are also traces of substances similar in composition to blood and brain fluid. On the rag, as if on the Turin shroud, the outlines of the body have been preserved, so it is possible to determine where Alyosha's head, hands, etc. were located. The question is, where did the brain fluid and blood come from? Our version: he was crushed.

- Who? After Tamara Prosvirina was taken to a mental hospital, her house was locked up, and the already withered Alyosha was taken either by a thief, or by her acquaintance, who apparently climbed through the window.

- This is just the official version. And it arose because the perpetrators had to hide the traces of their "crime". Her daughter-in-law had the keys to Prosvirina's house. According to our information, the apartment was not empty at all in the absence of the hostess – it was turned into a drunken den. While the hostess lived there, she nurtured and nurtured the creature, considered him her adopted son. But then drunks began to gather in the house. We can safely assume that one of them either unintentionally crushed the dwarf, or did it on purpose: after all, Alyosha made noises, asked for food, which means he really annoyed drunks.

It is useless to look for the culprit now. Yes, and it is not necessary. We can say that a unique being (it seems, indeed, of extraterrestrial origin) died because of the notorious drunkenness.

- Why are you inclined to think that Alyosha was an alien? There is also a version of genetic deformity.

- All experts agree that this creature had nothing to do with man. This is evidenced by the primary analysis of genetic material, which we ordered from a Moscow institute. The samples were returned to us with a note like "nothing close to a person was found." But it was a relatively cheap method of analysis, and it is not able to give a final result.

We conducted research of the area near Kyshtym, trying to find any traces or clues to understand: where did the mysterious creature come from? After all, the testimony of witnesses cannot be fully trusted: after the central media began to write about the phenomenon, many wanted dubious fame. People said that they saw 5 or 6 humanoids at the same time, but it turned out that this was impossible. However, there were credible testimonies.

So, we were looking for footprints on land, underground and underwater. Has been investigated Sudomak Cave is a local anomalous attraction. Inside it, speleologists allegedly found small crustaceans unknown to science. The cave did not please us in any way, but at least three strange objects were found in the lakes. The echo sounder showed that at a depth of up to 8 m, covered with silt, there are disc-shaped hollow structures. Some objects are viewed in them. The silt over the "plates" has not yet been tracked. It can be assumed that the objects got there in the summer. The lakes were shallow, the muddy bottom looked like a flat concrete platform from above. However, this impression is deceptive: it is worth stepping on such a surface, as it begins to suck.

- The story takes on a truly sinister and symbolic meaning. The "plates" were sucked into the quagmire of the Russian swamps. The humanoid was killed by Russian drunks…

- Nevertheless, I would like to understand this story to the end. We need a thorough, expensive analysis of genetic material. We are not able to pull it. Alyosha himself continues to remain in private hands. If you ask why no one is interested in it and does not try to investigate this phenomenon, I will answer: "I am surprised myself."

__________________________

The Kyshtym humanoid, known as "Alyoshenka", has long excited the imagination of scientists, and indeed everyone who has heard about the mysterious creature found in the Urals. It is not known for certain what kind of phenomenon this is: each specialist puts forward and defends his own version. Today we bring the most interesting ones to the readers' court.

The Argentine double

For almost a year, the videotape that captured the Kyshtym humanoid seemed to be something unique, almost a miracle. ...And suddenly an incredibly similar photo appeared on the pages of the Flying Saucer Review magazine!

The corpse of a small creature with a head divided into 4 "petals" seemed to be peering into the camera with huge lifeless eyes. Even his thin hands with 4 fingers were folded crosswise, like the mummy of a Kyshtym humanoid. However, the picture was not "Alyosha" at all... the second creature found its death almost 20 years ago near the town of Salinas - the municipal center of the district of the same name, located on the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico.

One day, a guy named Chinese wandered through the hills at the foot of the mountains, looking for all sorts of Indian antiquities. Suddenly he saw several creatures 30 centimeters tall (if you remember, our "Alyoshenka" was just like that). One of them tried to catch the Chinese by the pant leg. Contact failed: the Earthman grabbed a stick and struck a crushing blow. The creature with the pierced skull fell, and his companions disappeared.

The unwitting killer realized that something very rare, perhaps expensive, was in his hands. Wrapping a corpse in his shirt, bleeding colorless blood, the Chinese tried to get to his friend, chemistry professor Calixto Perez, as soon as possible. Soon the corpse was already resting in formalin. But since that ill-fated day, the Chinese man and his sister kept waking up at night from strange sounds: for more than a year they could not get rid of the oppressive feeling of someone else's presence…

Everyone who saw this creature agreed: this is not an ugly embryo, and certainly not a monkey. And Professor Calixto Perez summarized: "According to a number of signs, I am convinced that this creature is of alien origin." It is noteworthy that the trace of the Argentine dwarf was lost in the same way as the trace of the Kyshtym humanoid.

The point will be put ... genetic examination

A well-known researcher, the head of the association "Kosmopoisk" Vadim Chernobrov has repeatedly traveled to Kyshtym in search of a solution to the mystery of "Alyoshenka". That's what he told us when he returned from the last expedition.

The mysterious creature is undoubtedly of alien origin – its appearance exactly coincides with the visit of a UFO. Guided by the testimony of witnesses, we came to the place where the plate went down 6 years ago. Traces of landing, or rather, flooding on the surface of the lake are still able to fix particularly sensitive devices, and psychics confirm this. Now the UFO is at the bottom: it was sucked into the mud.

The main achievement of the expedition is that we found the genetic material: what our predecessors and colleagues were hopelessly looking for. We managed to find a piece of cloth on which this creature died. At the moment, the tissue is in the laboratory, where genetic studies are being conducted: they will finally give an answer to the question of what kind of creature appeared in Kyshtym.

Doctor's comment

Medicine has long known one of the disorders of intrauterine development, in which fetal death occurs at some point, but miscarriage does not occur. In these cases, the mother's body, unable to expel the alien body, finds another way to salvation: all the tissues of the embryo are covered with a thick calcareous coating, as if "preserved". Of course, there are changes in the appearance of the embryo: the skull and bones of the skeleton are deformed, calcareous growths appear. Organs that have not had time to form by the time of fetal death remain underdeveloped. Sometimes it is necessary to terminate a "frozen pregnancy" surgically, sometimes childbirth comes by itself, but significantly later than natural terms (at the 11th month).

Of course, this is very rare, but, unfortunately, by no means unique and certainly not a fantastic phenomenon.

According to the well-known images and drawings, the notorious "Alyoshenka" is most similar to such a "preserved" fruit, I think he is. In any case, the underdeveloped limbs and jaws, the domed head, the tiny size of the creature are very characteristic and easily recognizable signs. And to be honest, there is no evidence that "Alyosha" was alive: do not take into account the assurances of a mentally unhealthy old woman who found her "pet" in the cemetery!

He was... a dwarf!

To many, such an assumption will seem fantastic. However, the version that "Alyosha" was a dwarf is the only one that connects all the circumstances in a logical chain: the mysterious creature's ability to breathe Earth's air and take Earth's food, eyelidless eyes festering from light, deeply located blood vessels that retain body heat (as it is necessary in a dungeon!), the absence of auricles (they would interfere in narrow underground passages)…

And the main sign is a conical head, which, if necessary, can be laid in soft sedimentary rocks.

In all fairy tales, dwarfs were depicted in tall conical hats or soft caps. It would seem - absurdity: a high hat will interfere in caves… But only if the gnome's head is round – like a human's. And if it's conical, like "Alyosha"? In this case, the cap is ideal: it will protect the head from damage on the stones.

It is true to say that there is always some truth in fairy tales!

KYSHTYM MIRACLE:

interview on the threshold of opening

 The humanoid "Alyoshenka" ... a mysterious creature of unfortunate fate and creepy appearance excites the imagination. Until quite recently, only a handful of enthusiasts knew about its existence. And now - as if a dam had burst: an avalanche of information poured in. At the beginning of autumn, there was not a single TV channel that would not mention "Alyosha", did not show footage of the mysterious creature, filmed back in 1996, when society first learned about the existence of this phenomenon. However, in the accumulation of fictions and conjectures, grains of truth about the mysterious Kyshtym find are drowning. Who is he, "Alyosha" - a mutant, a humanoid, or just a clever hoax? Where did his remains disappear and why did they remember and talk about "Alyosha" right now?

There are more questions than answers, and fundamental science is in no hurry to speak out about a fantastic find. Too few facts, not enough information!..

Fortunately, there are volunteers who equip expeditions, undertake research at their own risk – to finally figure out how everything really happened and what are we dealing with?

The other day Vadim CHERNOBROV, a traveler, writer, historian and researcher of anomalous phenomena, the head of the organization "Kosmopoisk", returned from the third expedition to Kyshtym. Only for the readers of the Oracle newspaper, the scientist agreed to tell about his sensational findings that bring us closer to solving the mystery of Alyosha.

- All the articles mention that the Japanese are allegedly ready to pay 200 thousand dollars for a humanoid. As soon as the price of the phenomenon was indicated in the form of a specific amount, this finding began to excite minds again. And where, in fact, did this figure come from?

- It's very simple. We found the trail of "Alyosha": that is, after a long search, we found out who and where hides the remains of a humanoid. And they began to reflect on how realistic it is to return this priceless find. After all, it is priceless only for science, and it can have an astronomical market price: of course, such a miracle is yudo!

In general, my colleagues and I were sitting in a cafe and thinking about how much the body could be redeemed from the people into whose hands it fell. We were just talking out loud: "Maybe they will ask for a thousand dollars, maybe 200 thousand? A thousand is not enough, two hundred is too much...". There was a journalist hanging around nearby. He heard the sum of 200 thousand dollars – and the sensation went for a walk.

- But it is still unclear what this creature really is, it is not even known exactly what it looks like: even the film does not give a complete picture. Can you clarify the situation?

- I made something like a sketch from the words of people who saw the creature alive. The resulting sketch explains something. And above all it proves irrefutably: this is not a person. There are about 20 key differences between a creature and a human. Most importantly, he did not have a navel, therefore, he could not have been born from a female mammal.

There were also no genitals and ears – only ear cavities. He has a completely inhuman structure. Before our expedition to Kyshtym, few signs were found that would distinguish this creature from the category of similar to humans. But everyone immediately noticed that he had a very strange, domed head (this can be seen on the video). And on this head, completely inhuman, there are incomprehensible plates, clearly bulging, angular. There are plates in the human skull, too, but they are smoothed out. And this is the strongest argument in favor of the non-human origin of the creature. However, such a structure of the skull seemed to some researchers to be an insignificant sign: the skull may shrink as a result of a single injury. That's right, but such injuries are incompatible with life. And the creature lived for about 2 weeks.

Everyone noticed that he had large slanted eyes, or rather, eye sockets. Because in the available photographs taken after the creature's death, there are no eyes themselves – only eye sockets. But those who saw him during his lifetime remembered it was the huge slanted eyes, exactly the same - caricature - they draw, depicting aliens. Both eyes and pupils were about the same color - gray. The pupils are perhaps a little darker. The look was, they say, plaintive. The creature was clearly suffering. The pupils dilated and narrowed again, not like a human, but like a cat, that is, vertically.

- In other sketches compiled before you, "Alyosha" has ordinary human eyes with human pupils, normal human bones. How do you explain this?

- An artist cannot draw what he has not seen, what he only imagines from stories. Stereotypes are triggered – and he unwittingly brings human features to the drawing. As a result, we see in the drawing a human pelvis, feet, close to human body proportions.

Another thing is when the sketch is not made by an artist, but by a researcher: this is a completely different approach – we are not looking for similarities, but differences, we are psychologically ready for it.

During our expeditions, it turned out that the skeletal set of the creature, the proportions of the body, the most important anatomical features are sharply different from human ones. For example, there are no... heels. Despite the fact that it is clearly upright.

- So it couldn't lean on the whole foot and walked as if on tiptoe?

- We can only guess. Most likely - so. During the discussion in our "Cosmopoisk" versions were put forward that the creature was not land-based, but waterfowl.

In general, eyewitness memories are a very delicate matter, no wonder they often contradict each other. Here you are: no one remembers how many fingers the creature had - they call it from 3 to 6, who noticed how many. There were other discrepancies: some claimed that he had some kind of belt on his body (not on clothes), others said that the lower jaw was missing, and some added that he had 2 teeth…

- How does a hare have two front incisors?

- This is also a stereotype: when people hear about 2 teeth, they most often imagine the two upper front ones. The logic is clear: babies grow these teeth in the first place. In fact, the two largest teeth were not from the top in front, but from the bottom from the sides. But it was the biggest ones, that's why they were noticed. But "Alyosha" had a full set of teeth.

"So he had fangs?"

- Yes, the lower fangs. This creature had a lower jaw. It was small, but it was. The mouth opening is completely unlike a human: a round hole that can stretch. The tongue is in the form of a spatula: a narrow rhizome with a "spoon" at the end.

- And the rumors that the tongue was like a snake, forked at the end, it turns out, is not true?

- Of course, it's not true. Yes, it was extended at the end, but without bifurcation… The nose is very tiny, there is no neck at all, there are no nipples on the chest either. There were a lot of contradictory indications about the skin, which I could not put together in any way. Some witnesses claimed that the body was slippery, covered with some kind of slime, while others objected that, on the contrary, the creature was warm, fluffy and dry. Where is the truth? All this was eventually explained thanks to one eyewitness, perhaps the only one left alive: the creature did not defecate in the way that terrestrial mammals do, but secreted a special mucus after eating. Therefore, people's impressions of the surface of his skin were exactly the opposite.

- And how do you explain the disappearance and death of people who have been in contact with a mysterious creature?

- I think the reasons for these tragedies are not cosmic, but quite earthly: the humanoid turned out to be not only a scientific mystery, but also the subject of monetary speculation. Many eyewitnesses can no longer be found, including the most important witness… But let the police explain it. I guess that's exactly what she doesn't want to do. You won't believe it: they didn't even open a criminal case on the murder of Tamara Prosvirina – under the pretext that "she was crazy." That's how they explained it to me at the local police station. But she died under mysterious circumstances: someone lured her into the forest, where her body was later found…

- Was she really mentally ill?

- She had certain oddities before meeting with "Alyosha". For example, she spent whole days at the cemetery, picking flowers from graves there and decorating her room with them. Therefore, when this creature appeared in her apartment, everyone thought that she had found it in the cemetery.

- And really?

- We have information that Prosvirina met "Alyosha" a little further away, in another place where she also liked to walk. That's where the next, already the fourth expedition of "Kosmopoisk" goes - to finally figure out this complicated story. One conclusion can be drawn today: society was not ready to meet with this mystery of nature, with a small creature that turned out to be a big mystery for today's science…

The search continues: on September 17, a new expedition led by Chernobrov went to Kyshtym. Perhaps in the next issue you will find out the answer to the Kyshtym mystery.
