UfoCom

The UFOCOM or Belarusian UFOlogical COMmunity (previous and inner-used - Ufological Committee of Belarus) is a non-commercial, non-government, non-registered public organization in Belarus.[1] Founded in 2001, in Horki, Belarus, as a group of enthusiasts, mostly students of Belarusian State Agricultural Academy, studying paranormal phenomena in local area. Later, group developed into a statewide networked community of volunteers, performing both local and statewide field, monitoring and analytical research projects.

Kosmopoisk relations

Since 2005 UfoCom acts as a part of Kosmopoisk international movement, serving as officially non-registered office and public nod of all-CIS network of anomalistic/UFO researches. All-Belarusian annual field meetings are held jointly by Kosmopoisk and UfoCom in most notable and attractive from researcher point of view places statewide. Coordinator of UfoCom also serves as a coordinator for Belarusian regional branch of Kosmopoisk Unity (Kosmopoisk-Belarus). Since 2006 UfoCom coordinator is Ilya Butov.[2]

Orthodox Church relations

In 2005 UfoCom was included into the list of destructive religious organizations of Belarus due to a series of Church-unfriendly articles, published by UfoCom's previous leader, Ruslan Linnik. Problem was eventually solved with Linnik withdrawal from Ufocom activities in 2006

Structure

UfoCom consist of a number of local groups in large cities of Belarus - most active in Minsk and Brest, also in Vitebsk, Horki and some others - together with a number of individual members and corresponding members from Belarus and foreign countries. In addition exists a special urban explorers team called 'Diggers of Brest'(performs researches of underground like Brest Fortress and abandoned ancient and Soviet-era fortification installations), and an archaeological team called 'Artefact'. UfoCom focuses on studying various anomalous phenomena (UFOs, crop-circles, poltergeist), meteorite impact sites, civilian, military and religious historical sites. Researches are being held in close cooperation with Belarusian national Academy of sciences and its facilities.
