scientific field. When his urge to research and discuss he forbidden subject of UFOs got him fired from his job, it was the Soviet Navy that provided Ajaja with employment much more suited to his interest in paranormal phenomena. At one time in his arduous and tumultuous life, Ajaja served as the head of an underwater exploration expedition aboard the Soviet submarine Severyanka. Actually, Ajaja designed many eatures of the vessel. He and his fellow crew members once even observed a very unusual creature deep underwater: it looked like a lyre and had green entacles. Yet there is no proof that Ajaja was privy to he secrets of kvakeri research. A small Russian newspaper, Podmoskoviye-Nedelya, published a very interesting article in its 8 August 2001 issue. The author was Vadim Kulinchenko, a retired Soviet naval officer and submariner who had also been a senior officer in the Main Staff of the Russian Navy. He was the first former Soviet Navy officer to reveal details about the kvakeri. He said that the gist of the kvakeri phenomenon is similar to the UFO phenomenon: many have witnessed mysterious objects, but no one has been able to prove their existence. Kulinchenko recalled the stir created by reports of strange, unidentified noises that accompanied Soviet subs in their secret missions in unfriendly waters. It was as if the captains of underwater missile cruisers, returning from their missions in the Atlantic Ocean, had plotted to submit similar reports of peculiar noises. The nature of the noises was unknown to Soviet acoustics technicians. Some Soviet military researchers believed that the kvakeri were USOs. Yet most of the specialists in the research groups who had studied the phenomenon disagreed with this conclusion. Nuclear submarines drove the Cold War's most furious phase of the arms race. According to Vice Admiral Viktor Patrushev, Chief of Operations on the General Staff of the Russian Navy and professor of the Academy of ilitary Sciences, the Soviets ad built 243 nuclear submarines of various classes as well as over 1,000 diesel submarines. Some of these submarines must have really been of interest to the kvakeri, or the course and bearing indicators of the Soviet naval vessels demonstrated that he objects circled the subs and changed the frequency and tone of their signals. The Soviets had never been able to establish the source program which functioned of the sound. It came from between 1978 and 1991), was not unique to the USSR: different sides, and the tone constantly changed. It was e Americans had similar instructions to collect as if the objects were inviting the submarines to engage information about anomalous (paranormal) in "conversations".
