DOCUMENTATION. Globally collected documentation should be exhib- ited and carried out by the Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network - classified in three parts: 1. The UFO Evidence. 2. The Space Ships. 3. The Planetarians. A Soviet contribution IT IS RARE INDEED that we read or hear of the Russian views on "Flying Saucers", although, in the fifties they were referred to as an example of Ame- rican "war psychosis". However, in this issue of UFO CONTACT, you can read an account of recent Soviet moves regarding the UFO-case. (See "Soviet Radar Spots UFO".) Here, below, we bring you a Russian writer's acc- ount of his research into the problems and mysteries of extraterrestrial visitations. Condensed from the book "Na Sushe i na more" - "On Land and at Sea" - we can see how the writer has followed many of the same threads of Biblical and pre - History as

space have had contact with our Earth. He has written two books, "Cosmic Reminiscences", "Relics of the Past", and "The Evolution of the Univ- erse and Intelligent Beings". With acknowledgements to the "SPUTNIK" month- ly digest, Jan. 1967, we present the article in two parts. Here is Part One, of - Visitors from outer by Vyacheslav Zaitsev. Expanding knowledge about the Universe usually means more puzzles than discoveries. As man un- ravels each new mystery, he is assailed by fresh doubts and torments, for he has caught a glimpse of another mystery lying ahead. For the explorer in any field - it is probably this yet unknown territory vaguely seen in the distance - the search search for knowledge. A report by a Chinese archaeologist startled the world when it was published in 1965, for he had out of old bits of knowledge pieced together an amazing theory of space-ships on a visit to the Earth 12,000 years ago. The German magazine, "Das Vegetarische Universum", wrote of his research: "For a quarter of a century archaeologists explor- ing caves in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains, on the border of China and Tibet, have been finding old- and hieroglyphs. A total of 716 such discs were discovered, apparently dating back several thous- and years. "Like a gramophone record, each disc has a hole in its centre from which a double groove spirals. Its sound-tracks, but the oldest writing in China and indeed the rest of the world." Archaeologists and decipherers of ancient writing have been trying to solve the secret of the spirals. The result of the research by the Chinese archaeologist was so shattering that the Peking Aca- demy of Pre-History banned publication of his work. Eventually permission was obtained and the prof- essor and his four colleagues published their coll- ective effort under the intriguing title "Groove Writing Relating to Spaceships which, if Recorded on the Discs, Existed 12,000 Years Ago." The caves high up in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Moun- tains are inhabited by the Ham and Dropa tribes - frail, stunted men averaging four feet two inches in height. So far they have defied ethnic classification. In fact, any detailed information about the tribes is extremely scarce. When deciphered, one of the hieroglyphs presum- ably set down by an ancient member of the Ham tribe read: "The Dropas came down from the clouds in their gliders. Our men, women and children hid in
