# Archive compiles over 150 photographs attributed to Genrikh Silanov from 1984 to 2008

### Archive Overview

A newly published photographic archive brings together **more than 150 images attributed to Russian researcher Genrikh Silanov**, documenting alleged unidentified aerial phenomena, humanoid figures, luminous formations, ghosts and poltergeist activity from **1984 through 2008**. The collection, published by *Alien Archivist* on Oct. 2, presents the photographs as a visual record of Silanov’s expeditions and experiments in Russia, particularly in the Voronezh region.

The material includes conventional expedition scenes alongside images interpreted by Silanov and his associates as evidence of anomalous activity. Categories featured in the archive include alleged UAPs, strange objects, ghostly forms, unusual lights and experimental ultraviolet and infrared photographs. It also includes images Silanov described as **“Memory of Space,”** a term he used for photographs that he believed captured traces or impressions of events not ordinarily visible.

### Expeditions and Research Sites

Silanov’s earlier fieldwork included a 1984 expedition to the Pamirs, where photographs show mountain landscapes, researchers and expedition participants. The archive presents that work as background to later investigations in the Khoper region of the Voronezh area.

A significant portion of the collection concerns the **Novokhopersk tectonic fault**, where Silanov’s group reportedly conducted field studies using geophysical instruments and recorded the surrounding river, forests and terrain. Some published plates combine photographs of equipment or researchers with separate images showing glows or bluish flashes over the landscape. Other photographs depict unusual tree growth, a geophysical map and members of the research team.

The source material does not provide a precise exposure date for every image or panel. In some cases, photographs appear together on book pages with captions linking them to a location or expedition, but without a complete technical record detailing the camera, film, conditions or exact time of capture.

### Alleged Anomalous Phenomena

The archive’s later images expand beyond landscape-based fieldwork. They reportedly include photographs of **alleged alien or humanoid figures, luminous objects, poltergeist effects and ghost-like forms**. The collection also incorporates experimental imagery produced using ultraviolet and infrared techniques, which Silanov considered potentially useful for recording phenomena outside the visible spectrum.

Much of this material was subsequently reproduced or discussed in Silanov’s 2013 book, *Touching Extraterrestrial Intelligence*. According to the archive’s description, Silanov led expeditions investigating unusual phenomena in the Voronezh region from the mid-1980s until 2008. He was characterized as both a researcher and a contactee, reflecting his belief that at least some of the events he documented were connected to extraterrestrial intelligence.

### Verification and Context

The publication is best understood as a **compilation of attributed photographs and historical claims**, rather than a scientific validation of the phenomena depicted. The post does not provide independent authentication of the images, original negatives, complete chain-of-custody information or detailed photographic analysis. It also does not establish that the objects or figures shown are extraterrestrial, paranormal or otherwise anomalous.

Consequently, the photographs remain interpretations associated with Silanov’s research and should be evaluated with caution. Assessing them would require access to original materials, contemporaneous field notes, independent witnesses, technical metadata and controlled analysis of possible conventional explanations such as reflections, lens artifacts, motion blur, exposure effects or environmental conditions. The archive nonetheless offers a substantial record of how one Russian investigator documented and interpreted unusual experiences over more than two decades.
