//((D. SIDOROV REPORT: "UFQ MAGAZINE HOPES MILITARY WON'T GAG'
THEIR EXCLUSIVES"))
((TEXT)) A MONTH BEFORE ITS PLANNED LAUNCH,A NEWS BULLETIN, UFO
AND ANOMALOUS- PHENOMENA, HAS YET TO BE SANCTIONED BY MOSCOW'S STATE
NEWSPAPER AGENCY, SOYUZPECHAT. "THEY THINK THAT THE BULLETIN WON'T
SELL AND THAT THE NEWSSTANDS ARE FLOODED WITH SUCH INFORMATION,
SAYS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF SERGEY RYBAKOV.
. HOWEVER, THE BULLETIN WILL BE CARRYING EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES WHICH
ARE LIKELY TO ATTRACT A HEALTHY READERSHIP. THE FIRST ISSUE WILL
FEATURE AN ARTICLE ENTITLED "WHAT THE COSMONAUTS SAW", WITH A
TRANSCRIPT OF THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO SOVIET COSMONAUTS ABOARD
SEPARATE SPACE STATIONS, DESCRIBING WHAT THEY SAW IN OUTER SPACE
DURING THEIR FLIGHTS.
THERE WILL ALSO BE A STORY ABOUT THE THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE,
INCLUDING AN INTERVIEW WITH A SOVIET RADIO OPERATOR WHO WORKED ON A
SHIP IN THE AREA.
THE BULLETIN IS INTENDED AS A SERIOUS VENTURE, AND ALL THE
INFORMATION IN IT WILL BE VERIFIED BEFORE PUBLICATION. THIS.'WILL
INVOLVE CHECKING ON EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS OF UFO'S THROUGH CROSS-
EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES.
THREE OF THE TEN-STRONG EDITORIAL STAFF WILL COMPILE UP-TO-THE-
MINUTE NEWS ITEMS AND WILL VISIT AREAS WHERE UFO SIGHTING HAVE . BEEN
REPORTED.
"WE HAVE ENOUGH PAPER FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS," SAYS RYEEAKOV.
"AF1ER THAT, WE'LL START HUNTING FOR MORE." NO PREMISES HAVE YET
BEEN FOUND FOR THE EDITORIAL OFFICE.
ANOTHER POSSIBLE OBSTACLE FACING THE BULLETIN IS THE MILITARY,
WHO MIGHT USE THE EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS AS A METHOD OF OBTAINING?NEW
INFORMATION ABOUT UFOS, AND PROHIBIT THEIR OPEN PUBLICATION AND
SALE.
RYBAKOV WHO HAS NEVER HIMSELF SEEN AN UNIDENTIFIED FLYING
OBJECT - STUDIED AT THE MOSCOW AVIATION INSTITUTE WHERE HE WAS.A
MEMBER OF A GROUP HEADED BY FELIX ZIGEL, WHO FOUNDED UFO STUDIES IN
THE SOVIET UNION. HE THEN WENT TO WORK AT ONE OF MOSCOW'S CLOSED
AVIATION DESIGN BUREAUS.
BUT UFOS REMAINED A CONSUMMING INTEREST AND HE DID NOT HESITATE
TO LEAVE HIS JOB WHEN THE INTERPRINT JOINT VENTURE SUGGESTED THAT HE
ESTABLISH A BULLETIN. FROM THE BEGINNING, THE PLAN HAS BEEN TO USE
THE PROCEEDS FROM THE BULLETIN TO SET UP A RESEARCH CENTRE FOR THE
STUDY OF UFOS.
HOWEVER, INTEPRINT WERE NOT PREPARED TO INVEST THE NECESSARY
100,000 ROUBLES REQUIRED TO START THE PROJECT, LEAVING RYBAKOV AS
BOTH OWNER AND EDITOR. "IF THE PUBLICATION GOES BANKS.$p I'LL TRY
UNCLAS 3L/WAVE a 'pd
Alit 7g
(Q1-
 C00386450
UNCLAS 3L/WAVE
TO FIND SOME OTHER WELL-PAID JOB," HE SAYS.
HOWEVER, HE IS CONFIDENT THAT THE BULLETIN WILL SELL. ITS
NEAREST RIVAL, THE BALTIC NEWSPAPER EMSKIY TRIANGLE, COSTS THREE
ROUBLES, WHEREAS UFO AND ANOMALOUR PHENOMENA WILL COST' ABOUT 50
KOPEKS.
IF SOYUZPECHAT CONTINUE REFUSING TO DISTRIBUTE THE BULLETIN, THEN
THE JOB WILL BE UNDERTAKEN BY PRIVIATE INDIVIDUALS.
"IF THINGS GO WELL, WE WANT TO ENTER THE WORLD MARKET, HE SAYS.
"OUR PUBLICATION WILL BE TRANSLATED INTO SEVERAL LANGUAGES."
