In May 1992 we filmed a documentary about UFO research in Estonia. We had almost the whole day free, and an old friend of mine, a well-known ufologist in Estonia, let’s call him Mr. X., suggested we go “to an interesting place.” And while we were twisting through the streets of Tallinn, and then rushing along a country highway, X. was telling a strange story, similar to a detective story...

It started in the mid-60s. A resident of the small village of M, not far from Tallinn, car mechanic Virgo Mitt decided to dig a well in his yard. Everything was going well. But suddenly the shovel came across some metal object. Attempts to dig up the find or bypass it did not bring success: it was a slab that did not end... Then Virgo got hold of a jackhammer. For hours he destroyed an unexpected obstacle, punching a hole in it: perhaps he was digging in vain...

The top, very hard layer turned out to be not thick. Another texture went deeper - more structured (“like icicles or carnations”)... Perseverance and work will grind everything: after a few days in the slab, the thickness of which, according to Virgo, was 1-1.5 inches, there was a hole quite suitable for well sizes. There was almost a whole bucket of fragments... The water began to rise quickly, and Virgo decided to end the epic with the well. The fragments flew back into the well. But not all... Virgo Mitt left a couple of larger pieces - about ten centimeters in diameter - as a souvenir. One disappeared somewhere over time, but the other... An unusual fate awaited him.

The fact is that Virgo Mitt once told his friend, a chemist by profession, about an unusual find. So this piece of metal ended up at the Tallinn Polytechnic Institute, and in 1969 it ended up on the desk of a researcher, and in the future - deputy director for science of the Institute of Geology of the Academy of Sciences of the ESSR Herbert A. Viiding. And perhaps the story would have ended there if a couple of years later one of the engineers had not accidentally touched the fragment. The blow was like a powerful electrical discharge - the engineer lost consciousness. Herbert Viiding was shocked: how many times had he picked up metal - nothing like that. Naturally, the young scientist could not ignore such a mysterious fact. And he began his own research.
Before submitting the metal for analysis, the fragment was cut into several thin plates using diamond saws.

The results amazed the scientists. In the smallest volume of the sample, up to 38 elements of the periodic table were found, many of which do not occur together in nature. The sample turned out to be non-radioactive, but highly magnetic. According to the conclusion of Academician I.F. Obraztsov and Professor A.I. Elkin (MISI), it was a composite material reinforced with calcium-iron-silicon fibers, the matrix of which was metallic glass. “The use of alloys of this type as a structural material in aviation technology is unknown. An alloy of this type must have high heat resistance and be highly resistant to a boiling mixture of acids of any concentration” (Academician S. T. Kishkin, VIAM). According to a number of experts, this kind of material was most likely obtained by powder metallurgy at unusually high pressures, which are impossible to obtain on Earth at the current level of development of science and technology.

On December 8, 2009, the Object 188M tank was presented to V.V. Putin before a meeting on the development of Russian tank building, which was held in the “tank capital” of Russia - the city of Nizhny Tagil. Covering the visit of the Chairman of the Government, the journalistic fraternity talked a lot about the command version of the serial MBT T-90A, equipped with a software and hardware complex integrated into the automated control system of the tactical level, and about the “EMK” that stood at the demonstration site of the GDVTs next to the T-90AK, and which was a real, genuine, sensation of the show - not a word!

“Object 188M” is being created as an initiative development of the Ural Design Bureau of Transport Engineering, as opposed to the Burlak design and development work carried out in the Omsk Design Bureau. The said R&D is an example illustrating the chaos created in the industry and the reckless waste of public funds. The Burlak design and development project provides for the creation of a unified combat compartment for the modernization of primarily T-90 and T-72 tanks. At the same time, OJSC UKBTM, the developer of these machines, is constantly working to improve the design of the T-90 MBT and modernize the T-72. It would seem that it should be engaged in this work, but no... The Burlak design and development work was transferred to the Omsk KBTM, which is a very good technological design bureau, but has weak capabilities for new and, especially, promising design.

The main advantage of solutions within the framework of the Burlak design and development work is an integrated approach to ensuring the security of the tank and its firepower.
This was achieved through innovative solutions that, within the existing layout and without fundamental changes to the chassis and fighting compartment, create a tank that has the characteristics of a promising tank based on existing technologies and profound changes in mass production. The layout solutions proposed within the Burlak framework make it possible to increase the survivability of the tank in the event of damage to the ammunition load, by placing it in an isolated compartment equipped with knockout plates.

Moreover, KBTM does not and did not have anything to do with the T-90 tank. And such an organization is entrusted with such difficult work! As a result, the advance payment for the work was successfully spent, the “inventions” were protected by patents, but “Burlak” itself never existed. According to some reports, KBTM cannot adapt its BO to the T-90 “cart” and has already turned to UKBTM for technical assistance. In addition, the mass of the developed structure is such that even such a powerful chassis as that found on the Tagil T-90 cannot withstand it. Exceeding any permissible load standards is so great that it has the most detrimental effect on the resource. Of course, a negative result is the same result, but excuse me, why then is GABTU organizing a tender for the development and supply of simulators for this same failed “Burlak”? Why not allocate funds from UKBTM to complete work on the “Object 188M” - the next stage-by-stage improvement of the T-90?

The new Tagil vehicle - “Object 188M” - is distinguished, first of all, by a completely new turret design, the protection of which is practically devoid of weakened vulnerable zones and is all-aspect. Not only the front, but also the side projection and rear are significantly better protected. The most important thing in terms of protection is improved roof protection. The vehicle has a significantly improved control system. Its peculiarity is the inclusion of a three-channel thermal imaging panoramic sight for the commander. When developing the control system, the developments obtained during the very successful R&D projects “Frame-99” and “Rogatka-1” were used. Noteworthy are the smaller dimensions of the sights and their very serious protection from small-caliber artillery fire, bullets and fragments of large-caliber shells. This is especially noticeable against the backdrop of the Ukrainian Oplot-M tank presented in March 2009. In general, special attention is paid to visibility on the 188M.

The fruit of mutual love between Uralvagonzavod and the Ural Bureau of Transport Engineering is the first tank support combat vehicle in its class. The official name is like a Soviet haircut, by God: “Frame-99”. However, the military quickly renamed the new product “Terminator” - this is both more solid and conveys the purpose of the machine much more accurately. The power of its weapons is crushing: you have cannons, four launchers for anti-tank missiles, a machine gun, and automatic grenade launchers. The BMPT can fire nine hundred 30-mm shells, six hundred 30-mm grenades and two thousand 7.62-mm bullets per minute, and the ammunition is enough to burn out every living thing in an area of ​​3 square meters. km. Needless to say, BMPT missiles penetrate the armor of any tanks and concrete bunkers at a distance of up to 5 km, and can also shoot down a helicopter and even a low-flying enemy aircraft. Well, the AG-17D grenade launchers with a mounted grenade flight path ensure the destruction of targets in trenches in a zone of up to 1 km.

Good working conditions have also been created for the crew - the ergonomics of Tagil cars are clearly improving! The vehicle is equipped with a new cannon with improved ballistic characteristics. It can be equipped with both the 2A46M5 cannon, which has already become standard for serial Russian vehicles, and a completely new gun - 2A82. In addition to the new automatic loader designed for high aspect ratio BPS, there is a container for an additional ammo cartridge in the rear part of the turret. In our opinion, this is not the most correct solution, but at its best it corresponds to the latest standards of international armored fashion. Auxiliary weapons were not left without attention. The ZPU has been replaced by a remote-controlled autonomous machine gun mount. The 188M is equipped with new secure communication systems, a navigation system, and integration into automated control systems is provided.

Currently, only the turret has been manufactured by UKBTM pilot production. The production of the body is hampered by insufficient funding. To show the Prime Minister, the turret, as befits a combat module, was installed without any problems on the first available chassis - this explains the presence of the Kontakt-V remote sensing device on the hull instead of the designed Relikt. In addition, the hull of the Object 188M also provides for increased protection of the VLD through the installation of a new combined armor package. The hull roof has been reinforced, especially in the area of ​​the driver's hatch. In addition to the introduction of a modern fire extinguishing system on the tank, the likelihood of a fire has been reduced by eliminating the fire-hazardous anti-neutron lining and replacing the lining with fire-resistant anti-fragmentation material such as Kevlar.

To improve the performance characteristics, UKBTM, together with the Chelyabinsk enterprises ChTZ and Elektromashina, is working on the development and implementation of a monoblock power plant based on the V-shaped 1000-horsepower turbodiesel V-92S2 or its formed version V-99 with a power of 1200 hp. and motion control systems using a steering wheel. The successful demonstration of the new Russian combat vehicle to the leadership of the state and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will undoubtedly give new impetus to the work on the radical re-equipment of our Army with qualitatively new equipment, which in turn helps to strengthen the export potential of Russian mechanical engineering and increase interest in Russian tanks from foreign customers.

The ufological literature quite often mentions the amazing case of the discovery in 1964 of the mysterious “Object M” in the territory of one of the villages that is a suburb of Tallinn called Merivälja, on the site of house No. 34 on Hybekuuse Street. It is characteristic that even before the discovery of this object itself on a plot of land belonging to Virgo Mitta, a number of phenomena that had a clear anomalous nature were noted in his house. There, pottery moved by itself, strange steps and incomprehensible knocks were heard, and an incomprehensible glow was observed in the basement.

The reason for all these anomalous phenomena would have remained unclear if one day Virgo had not decided to dig a well. At first the work was progressing well, but then the shovel came across a giant metal “slab” that could not be circumvented. And only at the cost of incredible efforts, after a few days, with the help of a jackhammer, they managed to break off several pieces from it.

In 1969, Virgo showed these pieces to his friend Heiki Karik, who was a chemist by profession and took them for analysis to the Tallinn Polytechnic Institute, where they remained for a long time without due attention. But one day one of the institute’s employees touched the fragment and at that very second felt a shock, like a powerful electric discharge, so powerful that it even required hospitalization.

From that moment on, scientists paid attention to these samples. It turned out that they reacted differently to different people: some felt nothing, others seemed to be electrocuted, others felt some kind of vibration, but there were also those who received burns. Samples were also sent to other institutes of the USSR. But the most important thing was not this, but the results of chemical analysis, which showed the presence of 38 elements of the periodic table in the material, many of which are never found together in nature. Also, the material lacked a crystalline structure, which once again proved the scientists’ conclusion that, with the current level of development of science and technology, it is impossible to obtain such an alloy on Earth.

Meanwhile, strange anomalies in the Vigo area continued. From all sides, cats began to gather to the place where the well had been dug, and they were happily lying around in this place. But for people who stood at the “epicenter” of the anomalous zone for at least a few minutes, extremely negative consequences began to occur: their hair and teeth began to fall out, their eyesight deteriorated, and their maxillary sinuses became inflamed. In addition, their state of severe weakness did not go away for months. But the owner of the house suffered the most. First, his legs gave out, and then he died completely in 1987.

At the same time, specialists from the Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense joined the study of the strange metal “plate”, and at a depth of 6 meters they discovered a metal object in the shape of an ellipse or disk and other objects, the details of which were not disclosed. It is only known that their total weight was about 200 tons.

But it was not only the lack of necessary lifting equipment that prevented the removal of the strange object. Participants in the excavation began to be hit in the stomach by a strange “green triangle” appearing from the wall of the well. And these blows were so strong that people lost consciousness for several hours, and a mark in the form of diamonds remained on their bodies. Many of the participants in these studies died in the coming years. And then local psychics advised to fill up the well, which was done.

The authorities calmed down the uproar in the press by declaring that nothing abnormal had been found, and that the pieces of material allegedly turned out to be ordinary cast iron. And in this regard, a number of “devastating” commissioned articles appeared in the official press, “exposing” the results of analyzes made by scientists as “erroneous.” However, all genuine research results were kept secret.

Then the collapse of the USSR occurred and Russian researchers lost the opportunity to study the object. But first the Japanese, and then the Americans, became interested in him. However, according to unconfirmed reports, they also failed to obtain the object. The Japanese were simply driven away due to lack of permission to conduct excavations. But the Americans chose not to disclose the results of their research.

It would seem that all this is an ordinary and unconfirmed “legend of ufologists,” and pseudo-skeptics can happily state: “Well, again, a complete “conspiracy theory”? Where is the evidence that all these “secret studies” were carried out? And did he even exist? object or is this just another sensational “duck” from the “yellow press”?

The first is the pioneer of Soviet dowsing, Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences N. Sochevanov, who, based on the results of a study of the object in 1991, wrote the following in his report: “As a result of dowsing survey, an oval contour of an object with a diameter of about 15 meters was established. The depth of its upper boundary is from 3 to 7 meters, plunging to the east at an angle of 35-40 degrees. Approximately one third of the object is located under a residential building. Judging by the specific gravity of the sample , the weight of the object shell alone is about 200 tons."

And now the time has come to get acquainted with the testimony of another scientist, whose very existence, due to the specifics of his activities, was a state secret for a long time. This is Advisor to the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences on special topics, Honored Creator of Space Technology, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences A. Elkin, who stated the following:

“I am a specialist in the field of space research, a specialist in materials science. Therefore, I was interested in one question that helped us create materials similar to alien ones. In the Märevälya estate, under a well, an alien “probe” was eventually found. We were allocated large funds of several million dollars for equipment , thanks to which we began to study this material.

We were interested in strength. And so, when we studied the material that was taken from the alien “probe”. These were secret works. Then the military-industrial commission was in the Kremlin and this material was distributed to a number of institutes, including us. It turned out that this material has “theoretical” strength. Why? Because it has no defects, it has no crystals. This may be called "metallic glass" or "amorphous iron". Not only that, it is reinforced with fibers. This material interested us and we began to study it and learned how to make high-strength films.

After 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, from this place of the Märevälya estate, where the sample lay... we all had to leave and the Americans and Japanese climbed in and began to study... Now we use and make body armor using this technology, we use this technology in the protection of military equipment. Well, in particular, since they have now written in the open press about the Armata tank project, this technology was used there.”

Of course, it is quite understandable why all parties involved in the study of “Object M” kept the results of their research classified. But there is no need to continue to lie now, when “everything secret has become clear.” Although it is possible that custom-made and corrupt hired creatures will try to continue fooling the heads of ordinary people with their “official” “fairy tales for idiots.” But personally, I don’t advise them to do this.

Object "M"

While digging a well in one of the Baltic villages, a metal obstacle was encountered at a depth of about 3 meters. Using a compressor, a slab about 1.5-2 cm thick was broken through. The fragments of this slab were analyzed at two research institutes in Tallinn. The results obtained were not consistent. According to one institute, the fragment was assessed as ordinary cast iron. According to the analyzes of another, it followed that this was an alloy of a very complex composition.

The author was sent a small fragment to study its chemical composition in laboratories in Moscow. The sample was cut with a diamond saw into several thin plates. Moreover, individual superhard inclusions caused two saws to fail. The reasons for this were explained after determining the microhardness, which, according to VIAM data, ranged from 330 to 1500 kg/mm ​​2.

Fragment of Object "M".

The appearance of the fragment is dense metal of silver color. Specific gravity - from 6.3 to 6.6. After separation into plates, the material was sent for research to the following Moscow institutes: Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI), Giredmet, Institute of Aviation Materials (VIAM), Research Institute of MV, All-Union Institute of Mineral Raw Materials (VIMS) and NPO Krasnaya Zvezda.

MEPhI, using a highly sensitive spectrometric installation JmS-0.1 VM, determined the presence of 38 elements in the samples. Other institutes, using less sensitive instruments, confirmed the MEPhI data, but noted a smaller number of elements. A variety of research methods were used, including, in addition to the specified installation at MEPhI, the emission spectral method on spectrographs DFS, STE-1, ISP-51, laser analysis on the Argun installation (type MSL-4 developed by LOMO), scanning electron microscope company "Jeol" type YSM-2, raster, 2.5 kV, microprobe analysis on the Camebax installation (France), spark mass spectrometry method, Auger spectrometry, micro-X-ray spectral analysis, spectral-metallographic studies, with etching in various acids .

As a result of the research, the presence of a number of elements in the sample was established, including:

11 elements - fluorine, phosphorus, sulfur, germanium, indium, tin, tungsten, lead, thorium, silver and beryllium - are characterized by low contents of 0.0001 to 0.01%.

15 elements - boron, chlorine, nitrogen, manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, gallium, arsenic, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, antimony, manganese - are characterized by contents from 0.01 to 1%.

6 elements - carbon, oxygen, potassium, calcium, aluminum, sodium - fall into the group with contents from 1 to 5%.

The differences in the contents of the vast majority of elements, according to data from different laboratories, did not exceed one and a half to two times the value, which corresponds to the accuracy of spectral analysis. Four elements were characterized by unacceptably high scatters of contents ranging from 1.5 to 3 orders of magnitude. Thus, the silicon content for different points of the sample varied from 0.5 to 22%, iron - from 1 to 80%, vanadium from 0.01 to 10%, titanium - from 0.01 to 80%.

Research by Giredmet and VIAM has identified a number of microinclusions. The basis of the material - the matrix - is an alloy of iron (70-90%) with silicon (10-20%) with microinclusions of titanium carbonitride (40% or more), vanadium (up to 10%) and small iron impurities (up to 1%). These inclusions with dramatically different elemental contents explain the differences in the above analyses.

The results of scanning electron microscopy and metallography (Giredmet) made it possible to establish 8 forms of microinclusions: cross-shaped, flower-shaped, dendritic light and dark formations, drop-shaped light defects, inhomogeneities in the form of blurry dark spots. Various types of inclusions were illustrated in an album of 30 microphotographs, kindly compiled by V.Ya. Kovarsky (Giredmet). The reader of this issue of Anomalies can become familiar with three of them - cruciform, flower-shaped and fibrous. The latter was noted in the conclusion of Academician I.F. Obraztsova.

Research has shown that the sample is not radioactive. Own magnetization - no more than 0.5 oersted ("Red Star"). The melting point of the material is up to 1600 degrees Celsius.

According to academician S.T. Kishkin (VIAM), “the use of alloys of this type as a structural material in aviation technology is not known. An alloy of this type must have high heat resistance and be highly resistant to a boiling mixture of acids of any concentration.”

The rector of VIAM, Professor Mitin, having familiarized himself with the analyzes of various institutes, noted that such an alloy would be extremely important for coating the surfaces of aircraft and missiles with at least a thin layer. He argued that an alloy of this kind is not produced either here, or in Japan, or in the USA, or in Germany.

After the analyses, by order of one of the commissions of the USSR Council of Ministers, a small fragment was transferred for research to the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute (MISI). In conclusion from this institute, Academician I.F. Obraztsov and Professor A.I. Elkin noted the unusual nature of the sample, which is a composite material whose matrix is ​​metallic glass - iron (74%) and silicon (26%). The material is reinforced with calcium-iron-silicon fibers and inclusions (2 microns), located on average every 10 microns and consisting of titanium-iron-silicon-vanadium. In addition, the material contains inclusions with a diameter of 2 microns, located on average every 10 microns. The inclusions consist of titanium (46%), iron (32%), vanadium (10%) and silicon (12%).

The above data on the chemical composition, structure of the material and its composite features allow us to draw the following conclusions:

a) THE ASSUMPTION ABOUT THE METEORIC ORIGIN of the studied material is eliminated;

b) according to the conclusion of scientists, there is also NO POSSIBILITY OF MANUFACTURING such MATERIAL USING EARTH TECHNOLOGY;

c) it is therefore MOST LIKELY that UFO MATERIAL was examined.

After receiving the first analyzes that noted the unusual nature of the material being studied, the author conducted research directly on the ground using the dowsing method with a vertical axis of rotation of the frame and with a clamp in the hand as a resonator of a fragment of material.

The problems that had to be solved using dowsing boiled down to determining (at least approximately) the size of the disturbing object in plan, as well as its depth and vertical thickness.

The depth and thickness of the object were determined using a well-known method using a wire based on the displacement of the anomaly. The displacement value in meters was taken as the depth of the object.

As a result, an oval contour of the object with a diameter of about 15 m was established. The depth of its upper boundary is from 3 to 7 m, plunging to the east at an angle of 35-40 degrees. The vertical thickness of the object in the middle part reaches 2.5-4 m with a decrease at the edges. Approximately one-third of the property's area is residential.

Local geophysicists carried out micromagnetic surveys along several mutually perpendicular profiles intersecting the dowsing anomaly. The vertical component of the earth's magnetic field was measured with an M-2 magnetometer.

Above the dowsing anomaly, a magnetic field minimum of about 3000 nanatesla was noted. Two years after the dowsing, VNIYAG specialists carried out electrical prospecting work using the vertical electrical sounding (VES) method, which established the presence of a conductive body at a depth of 4-6 m.

To verify the correctness of the object's depth determined by the dowsing method, it was recommended to go through three pits within the dowsing and magnetic anomaly. Their depth should be 5-8 m and reach only the surface of the metal object. Samples should be taken from the rock in the walls of the pits and the object. At the second stage, if the excavation is successful, it is advisable to demolish the house and excavate a quarry with a volume of about 5,000 cubic meters to excavate the object.

NEITHER POINTS OR WELLS WERE DONE IN THE RECOMMENDED PLACES. Only a horizontal passage 1 m long was made at a depth of 6 m from the well, which turned out to be below the well’s intersection with the slab. Nothing interesting was found here. In addition, to the side, outside the magnetic and dowsing anomaly, a trench was dug about 7 m long and up to 6 m deep, which also did not yield anything from the point of view of detecting the object, since it was laid incorrectly - outside the anomalies.

Over the past 6 years, writing a whole series of memos to the highest authorities resulted only in coordination meetings and drawing up calendar plans that were not implemented. The necessary funds have not been allocated at least to carry out the first stage of work on sinking three pits. All decisions boiled down to sending appropriate orders without material support.

Coinciding data from the analysis of nine institutes, characterizing the extreme unusualness of the studied material, the importance of its practical use, as well as knowledge of the exact location of the object, confirmed by data from three methods (magnetic prospecting, electrical prospecting, dowsing), at a relatively shallow depth (4-8 m) and large the dimensions of the object itself (diameter about 15 m) DETERMINE THE RELEVANCE, THE NECESSITY for opening this place, extracting and studying the object.

Of course, these works must be authorized by the relevant authorities of the Estonian government.

And one last thing. The weight of the shell of the object alone, with a thickness of 2 cm and a specific gravity of the material of 6.5, is about 200 tons. If we take the cost of demolishing a house and excavating a quarry as 200 thousand rubles, then 1 kg of unusually promising material will cost only 1 ruble. The internal contents of the object - engines, instruments, etc. - are priceless. It cannot be valued in monetary terms.

A priori admitting the extraterrestrial technology of the supposed aircraft called “flying saucers,” keen researchers, encountering materials unknown to them for the first time, are inclined to attribute to them an extraterrestrial origin. The author of this publication has repeatedly had the opportunity, as an expert, to examine fragments and parts of the most ordinary products, which, as a metallurgist, were handed over to him under the motto “materials of unknown origin.” They turned out to be unknown only to those who discovered them, but in fact they were the most common materials widely used in modern mechanical engineering, space technology, etc. Among them were bog iron ore, ceramics, etc.

N. N. Sochevanov, being a geologist, did not even follow the path of petrography, which would be understandable, because it, like metallography, allows one to reveal the structure. The author, thanks to his life experience, decided to determine the composition of the sample by subtle chemical analysis, which led to incorrect conclusions. He programmed the research using the latest methods, allowing one to identify the smallest doses of elements present, but sometimes not having a decisive significance. Thus, the elementary law of the researcher was violated - “from simple to complex.” Following the chosen method, in addition to the main ingredients - flour, water, yeast and salt, you can find in ordinary bread a countless number of inevitable or accidental impurities that are not of decisive importance.

For example, it is generally accepted that the most common carbon (unalloyed) steel is an alloy of iron and carbon and nothing more. However, silicon, manganese, aluminum, phosphorus, sulfur, and gases are inevitably present there. If all these elements are necessary for steel smelting or are, although harmful, inevitable impurities, such as sulfur and phosphorus, then the gases make practically no changes and are often ignored. And if this steel is subjected to a fine chemical analysis, then it can be found in it about two dozen more elements that got there in a variety of ways, but did not play any role in it, and therefore they are not looked for. In metallurgy - the science of metals - there are standard methods of chemical and metallographic analysis that make it possible to determine the chemical composition, processing and, as a consequence, the structure of the alloy.

In Sochevanov, as a result of a wide range of precise methods (and incompatible according to the principle inherent in each method), the difference in the data was “twofold” (as the author himself notes), which does not meet any reasonable standards of experimental accuracy. Setting up such a problem is similar to the desire to measure the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg with micron accuracy. The author notes: “As a result of the research, the presence of a number of elements in the sample was established, of which: 11 elements: characterized by low content from 0.0001 to 0.01%. Other elements, and there are 47 of them in total (!), range from 0.01 to 90%. Well Is it possible to obtain an alloy with a given lead or fluorine content of 0.0001 percent, and what role will this element serve? Further: “The four elements were characterized by unacceptably high scatters of contents ranging from 1.5 to 3 orders of magnitude.” the spread was 6 orders of magnitude!

All this unnecessary scrupulousness has led to complete absurdity. For example, the total percentage of alloy was at least 131%, and at most 161%. Here is what the author writes: “The basis of the material - the matrix - is an alloy of iron (70-90%) with silicon (10-20%) with microinclusions of titanium carbonitride (40% or more), vanadium (up to 10%) with small iron impurities ( up to 1%)". Some kind of abracadabra.

At the same time, the following composition of the “alloy” is given: iron - 1-80%, silicon - 0.5-22%, vanadium - 0.01-10%, titanium - 0.01-80% (?!). Such a fantastic spread resulted from the absolute ignorance of the researchers who managed to obtain such a confusion, and the one who analyzed it all simply does not realize the absurdity of the obtained values.

Based on the foregoing, we can draw the following conclusion - the “alloy” subjected to research is not such at all, because the colossal difference in structure and composition, and therefore the noted difference in hardness (from 330 to 1500 kg/mm) cannot serve as a structural material at all , and even more so for a shell with a thickness of 1.5-2 cm, as suggested by N.N. Sochevanov.

An alloy of iron and carbon, with a content of the latter of 5%, cannot be anything other than cast iron, since steel contains no more than 1.3% carbon. The “matrix,” according to the author, consists of iron in the amount of 70-90%, which corresponds to ordinary cast iron.

In terms of the chemical composition of the main components (iron and carbon), it is nothing more than white blast furnace or pig iron. According to GOST 4833-49 it contains: carbon 5%, silicon 0.15-1.75%, manganese 0.5-1.20%, phosphorus 0.07%, sulfur 0.03%. Since the “object” was discovered on the territory of Estonia, it is quite possible that this iron was smelted at a time when the territory historically belonged to Greater Sweden. It is known that Swedish steel is the best in the world due to the fact that the iron ore mined on its territory is characterized by a low phosphorus content (in this case, 0.07%, while ordinary cast iron of this class has 0.18- 0.22%), and instead of coal, a carrier of sulfur, the Swedes always smelted cast iron using charcoal. Sweden is rich in forests, so steel produced from Swedish pig iron has a minimal content of harmful impurities - phosphorus and sulfur.

The heterogeneity of the structure, as well as the low specific gravity - 6.3-6.6, distinguishes this “alloy” from cast iron, which has a specific gravity of 7.8; therefore, the found “alloy” is nothing more than slag. And its shape, contoured by dowsing, corresponds to the so-called “slag cake”, which is poured onto the ground. Another version of this is "goat", i.e. frozen layer in an extinct blast furnace. It should never go out, and if this happens, then the furnace is destroyed due to the resulting “goat” (metallurgical term). Subsequent centuries deposited a cultural layer of earth on the site of the ancient metallurgical plant.

Why did such a gross mistake occur in N.N.’s research and conclusions? Sochevanova? The root of the error lies in the desire to confirm only one version - an interplanetary spacecraft. Six institutes are selected, of which only two could solve this problem correctly (VIAM and MEPhI) if they were focused not on finding trifles, but on standard research. It was necessary to contact, first of all, TsNIICHERMET, the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys, and the Institute of Metallurgy of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

Now about choosing consultants. One of them is I.F. Obraztsov, academician, former Minister of Higher Education of the RSFSR. His scientific specialty is rocket scientist. So for him, professor of physics from the Construction Institute A.I. Elkin was presented with a micrograph for analysis, which showed the lamellar structure of a mechanical mixture of unknown crystals. Since the etchant, the microhardness of these formations and the scale of magnification are not indicated, it is impossible to draw a conclusion, especially from one single photograph (and from a micrograph it is generally impossible to draw a conclusion about the structure of the entire alloy), one can only be surprised at the courage of the consultants and the qualifications of the professors.

I.F. Obraztsov, being a rocket scientist and familiar with composite materials, but having apparently never seen blast iron, because rockets are not made from it, immediately “recognized” the composite in this structure. And further, both of these experts call the combination of 74% iron and 26% silicon “metallic glass”. In fact, such an alloy will have the structure of a peritectic mixture of the ordered phase Fe 3 Si and FeSi, released as a result of the peritectic transformation at a temperature of 850 degrees.

In their conclusion, the term “iron titanium” appears. This is as absurd as “silver is lead,” for example. There is iron titanide with a hexagonal lattice, called the Laves phase, as well as titanides FeTi and FeTi 2.

An even greater blunder was made by the rector of MATI (in the article - VIAM, where there cannot be a rector position at all, since this is not a university), Professor Mitin. He became a professor after a “transfer” from the Department of Educational Institutions of the CPSU Central Committee, where he was an ordinary inspector, to the chair of the rector. His position in science is not subject to comment. While enrolled in the department of powder metallurgy, he apparently managed to forget the course on “metal technology,” which outlines the process of blast furnace production, which he should have taken in his third year at the university. And this high authority suggested... at least a thin layer of “this alloy” to cover the surface of aircraft or missiles. Well, why use an alloy with a specific gravity of 6.6 to weigh down aircraft, even if duralumin has 2.8; and then, if possible, it is replaced with magnesium alloys with a specific gravity of 1.8. And further Mitin states: “... an alloy of this kind is not produced either here, or in Japan, or in the USA, or in Germany.” That's it!

It’s no wonder that such “scientific” conclusions prompted N.N. Sochevanov to the assumption that inside this “pie” there are also “engines, instruments and other invaluable things.” How you want to fill a mythical object with familiar content!

Anomaly, No. 3, 1992. Tags:

For several days he persistently hammered it with a jackhammer. The slab turned out to be about four centimeters thick, but incredibly durable. Breaking off small pieces from it and putting them in a bucket, the mechanic punched a hole of the required size, and the well quickly filled with water. Satisfied with the work done, Virgo dumped the strange metal from the bucket back into the well. He kept the two largest pieces for himself, about 10 centimeters long.

Soon, inexplicable things began to happen in the Mitts’ house: pottery moved by itself, strange sounds and steps were heard. A light came on in the basement, but no one turned it on. Dozens of cats began to flock into the yard from all over the area.

Ufologists became interested in all these oddities. They conducted a dowsing survey of the yard and determined the boundaries of the anomalous zone. And this is what it turned out: it turns out that underground there was an oval saucer-shaped object, about 15 meters in diameter, lying obliquely at an angle of 35-40 degrees, plunging to the east. The thickness of the object in the middle part reached approximately four meters and decreased towards the edges. Part of the mysterious “plate” lay under the house.

Ufologists explained the anomalous phenomena in Mitt's home by saying that the object disrupted the spatio-temporal structure of this place, and it became much easier for astral bodies from the subtle worlds to invade our material world. But according to the official conclusion, the cause of the car mechanic’s troubles was the violation of the waterproof horizon and watering of the foundation of the house.

In 1969, one of the pieces of metal left by Virgo ended up with researcher G.A. Viidingu. For a long time, nothing special happened to the fragment, but one day one of Viiding’s colleagues accidentally touched it - the man immediately lost consciousness and fell.

The amazed scientist decided to test the effect of the strange metal on other people and “passed” his employees, relatives, acquaintances and psychics through it, filling out almost 300 questionnaires for the experiment.

The reaction of the test subjects was very different: some were shocked, others felt only a subtle vibration, some felt that the metal was cold, and some had a burn on their hand.

Wanting to find out what this unusual material was, Viiding officially sent it for examination to the laboratories of research institutes in Moscow, Leningrad and Kyiv, calling it a sample of “object M”. Years passed, but the scientist, who by this time had become deputy director for science of the Estonian Ministry of Geology, never achieved clear results from analyzing the sample.

In 1983, Viiding turned to E.K. for help. Parve - “Estonia’s most secret man,” as he was called, highly authoritative and with great capabilities associated with the development of new technologies for astronautics. Having broken several diamond saws, the fragment of “object M” was cut into thin plates and sent for study to leading Moscow research institutes.

When conducting research at the All-Union Institutes of Aviation Materials, Rare Metals Industry, Mineral Raw Materials and the like, the most modern electron microscopes, spectrometric installations, laser analysis, and the latest chemical methods were used. Scientists found 38 chemical elements in the samples. It turns out that the metal was a composite material reinforced with calcium-iron-silicon fibers, the basis of which was metallic glass.

It was not radioactive, but had the properties of a strong magnet, with a hardness of up to 1280 kilograms per square millimeter, and was highly resistant to boiling acids of any concentration and heat resistance. Such alloys have never been used even in aircraft technology.

The documents based on the analysis results were signed by academicians I.F. Obraztsova and S.T. Kishkin, as well as Professor A.I. Elkina. The scientists’ conclusion was unequivocal: it is impossible to obtain an alloy of this type on Earth at the current level of development of science and technology.

By order of the Vice-President of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Academician A.A. Yanshin in 1984, an attempt was made to obtain additional samples of the metal. Water was pumped out of the well in Mitt's yard and the walls were probed with a magnetometer. At a depth of six and a half meters, “a signal was observed indicating the presence of strong magnetic material.” However, the sharply increased influx of water and the onset of frost prevented the extraction of metal from the well. And in the summer of 1985, work was officially stopped altogether, concluding that “a horizontal layer of pyrite had simply been discovered.”

However, the story didn't end there...

Soon, Alexander Deev, a prominent anomaly expert well known in near-plate circles, appears at the Mitts’ house.

“According to the owner, pensioner Viivika Mitt, in February 1987, Comrade Deev, accompanied by employees of the RET Production Association and with excavators from the Tallinn Mechanization Department, appeared at her place and, showing some paper with signatures, pretended to be a representative of the USSR Ministry of Defense. They demanded that the garden be dug up.

The surprised housewife agreed, but asked, firstly, to compensate for the damage, and secondly, to bury the hole after the “research”. This has not been done to date. Moreover, due to the proximity of the hole, the foundation of the house cracked, and so did the wall. Led by Deev, they also excavated a hole in the barn about 6-7 m deep, which also has not yet been buried. According to Comrade Deev, there, on the site, there is the frame of a flying saucer, which they did not find, because the “ship” went to great depths.

But, Deev said, they managed to grab a couple of “pieces of the flying saucer hatch.”
When Herbert Wiiding found out about the excavations, he suggested that Deev stop this barbarity. For peace of mind, Viiding gave him a couple of pieces of pyrite found two years ago in the Mitts' well. Deev, of course, immediately recognized them as “parts of the wing” of that same flying saucer!

How did the psychic manage to drive the excavators to the Mitts' property? It’s very simple: he enlisted the support of one of the secretaries of the Central Committee of the Estonian Communist Party! Moreover, Deev went... to the Council of Ministers of the ESSR, presenting a travel certificate from the secret military NPO “Volna”, which is part of the military-industrial complex. No one knew then that the military had either already managed to kick Deev out of Volna, or he himself left there, and soon it was too late.

Having destroyed the entire garden of grandmother Viivika, Deev firmly established himself in her house. One of the rooms was filled with strange devices: all 34 devices were encrypted with letters and numbers. However, it is known that among them there were 8 (!) generators of the notorious D-radiation and some kind of supposedly recording equipment. Deev had 14 people at his disposal: some of them seemed to be military. By agreement with them, the hostess did not enter the room with the equipment, she only brought them tea. Unable to withstand such changes, Virgo Mitt died quietly...

Need I say that Deev’s group failed to extract anything other than a few tens of kilograms of pyrite? However, without being confused, he creates the cooperative “Ruslan” and enters into an agreement with the production association of radio-electronic equipment (PO RET) for the creation of “D-generators” filled with “powder from flying saucers”, i.e. that same pyrite.

Having received the support of the responsible employee of the Central Committee of the CPE V. Yushkin, Deev finally became bolder. He publicly stated that his “D-generators” make it possible to save 30-50% of fuel, turn copper into gold, treat AIDS, cancer and any disease in general by processing the urine of patients or their photographs with a “D-field”. At the same time, he promised to clean the waters of the Tallinn port from oil emissions and industrial wastes with the “D-field”, as well as to increase the yield on the nearby collective farm named after I. Lauristin by one and a half times.

Tests of “D-generators”, which save fuel, took place on the Tallinn Shipping Company ship “Mechanik Krul”. When the ship returned to the port, scientists from the Academy of Sciences of the ESSR were already waiting for it. “The electronic unit is made at the level of a school radio club, the low quality of the rations indicates a lack of qualifications in the installation of radio equipment,” their conclusion read. “The total cost of the block does not exceed 5-10 rubles.” But for this “miracle device” the cooperators were supposed to receive 500 rubles! Moreover, it was found that the device does not produce any effect and does not save fuel at all...

Thanks to the timely intervention of the People's Control Committee of the ESSR and the prosecutor's office of the republic, the 50 thousand rubles promised by RET to the cooperative were not paid. The cooperators themselves, led by the chairman, considered it best to stay away from Tallinn. Deev was lucky: the high-ranking officials involved in the scandal decided not to bring the case to trial.

In the mouths of ufologists, this story has become overgrown with fantastic legends - about a poltergeist in the Mitts’ house, that one of Deev’s employees received an energy shock that burned a cross on his chest...

In September 1988, Herbert Viiding died, and about a month later, fooled Estonians began to clean up Viivika Mitt's garden. The holes were filled up and planted with plants, so much so that no traces remained. Exactly a year later, another participant in this story, Ann Parve, died. Although the scientists were many years old, fanatical ufologists attributed their death to “object M”!

Finally, in October 1989, a geophysical team from the Tomsk Polytechnic Institute and the Institute of Geology and Geophysics appeared on Hybekuuse Street. Having probed the soil with the most modern means, they confirmed what everyone had known for a long time: there is absolutely nothing anomalous under the Viivika Mitt site, and never has been.

In the 90s, a new wave of popularity of the “object M” began. Trying to outdo each other, journalists wrote a bunch of tall tales about him. All our readers must remember these tales: they appeared more than once even in central newspapers. While the writing fraternity continues to entertain its readers with cheap tales, there will be no peace in Viivika Mitt's house...
